Banned Books Quiz
Banned Books Week is September 25 - October 2. I've been tweeting information about it and am finally getting around to doing a blog post. Instead of giving you information about banned books that you can easily find online, I decided to give you a quiz instead. All the quotes are from a book that was banned at one time.
