#BannedBookWeek Ordinary People by Judith Guest is about a kid who was involved in an accident which resulted in his older sibling dying. The story unfolds gently and the language is unassuming. The exact lack of density of the language lets you access the plot better. #WritingCommunity

Day 5 brought me “The House in the Cerulean Sea” by TJ Klune. A beautiful story about found family and acceptance. Apparently some folks don’t like the idea that the couple is gay and the children are magical, but I can’t think of a more loving family. Can’t wait to read the sequel. #bannedbookweek

I feel like everyone should be required to read Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. If we did i don't think Americans would be so okay with losing critical information or banning certain books.
