I love the tshirt on the Cafe Press page that says "I'm with the banned." Oh, puns. I also like all the products that list some banned books.
And finally, I have read quite a few "banned books" from the last decade, including Bridge to Terabithia, which I loved (heaven forbid that children use their imaginations!) and pretty much every Judy Blume book ever. Thanks for this giveaway!
Wonderful Giveaway! I LOVE the "banned" items on Cafe Press!

Kari recommended 'Harris and Me' and my mom and I loved it. It never fails to surprise me which books are chosen to be challenged or banned.

I really can't believe neither Anais Nin nor Henry Miller are on the banned books list!
Ohhh I remember Are you There, God? It's Me Margaret! I loved that book when I was a tween! There are so many good ones on this list it's hard to choose. Grendel is probably my favorite though, I should read that one again.
Great giveaway!

I have read the following banned books: Harry Potter (series), by J.K. Rowling, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain, Bridge To Terabithia, by Katherine Paterson, The Face on the Milk Carton, by Caroline B. Cooney, Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, by Ken Kesey, A Wrinkle in Time, by Madeline L’Engle, Goosebumps (series), by R.L. Stine and Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret, by Judy Blume. And in my opinion, they shouldn't be banned! ;)

I loved the Harry Potter series (who doesn't?). I also really enjoyed My Brother Sam is Dead and Roll of Thunder, Hear my Cry. When I was younger I went through all of the Junie B. Jones books. :)
I have been thinking about reading Fahrenheit 451.
Oh my gosh, "Are you there God? It's me, Margaret." I read that book x amount of years ago and I love that book! I think I still have it. Cut, I've read half of it. Captain Underpants, read a few of those a looong time ago. A couple books that I've seen the movie but I haven't read the book yet! (The Kite Runner, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.) I plan on picking up When Dad Killed Mom and Crazy: A Novel, just because the titles sound interesting.

I love so many of the items on Cafe Press. I'm definitely grabbing some of the buttons. I particularly like the shirts that say "Ban ignorance, not books" among many, many other shirts. I can't wait to get one for my son who just recently finished Harry Potter!!

I've read quite a few of these, most recently Harry Potter. I have quite a few of these on my son's shelf too, such as Harry Potter, Captain Underpants, Junie B, To Kill a Mockingbird, Goosebumps, A Wrinkle in Time, and The Giver. I'm actually surprised at how many of these I've read and own and did not know they were on the "banned" list. I read Go Ask Alice as a kid and it made quite an impact on me and definitely had a positive effect on the choices I made.
