If you’re looking for what to read next, the American Library Association’s list of banned books is a great place to start. There’s classic challenges like Stephen Chbosky’s young adult novel The Perks of Being a Wallflower and provocative page-turner A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess as well as plentiful LGBTQ works like graphic novel memoir Gender Queer by Maia Kobabe and Malinda Lo’s Last Night at the Telegraph Club. Whether you’re picking up a specific banned title or just want to show support for reading freedom, this collab between Vintage Bookstore, Silent Book Club, and Libro.fm offers a collective space to do so. Plus, attendees get a free audio copy of either How to Defend Books and Why by Danny Caine or YA anthology Banned Together. – James Scott
