LIST OF BANNED OR CHALLENGED BOOKS

Please note: Not every book on this list is banned. There have been attempts to remove each book from a public library, school, or other source, although the challenge may not have resulted in a banning. The titles in green are books that I have read. Titles in red are books that I am currently reading. (Just in case you have any content questions, I can only speak honestly on the books I have read; I will have to derive answers to questions about other books from other sources)
