We're a little over two months into reading/resisting Tucson's decision to ban a bunch of books. Here's what people have posted from the start of the challenge through the end of March:
- Feminism is for Everybody by bell hooks via Booked All Week
- So Far from God by Ana Castillo via Me, You and Books
- 500 Years of Chicana Women's History/500 Años de la Mujer Chicana by Elizabeth Martinez via Me, You and Books
- Ten Little Indians by Sherman Alexie via Me, You and Books
- Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquivel via The Biblio Blogazine
- Bless Me, Ultima by Rudolfo Anaya via Cited at the Crossroads
- Drown by Junot Diaz via The Feminist Texican [Reads]
Remember, this is a yearlong challenge, and all you have to do to join is read and review at least one of the books on the banned list. You can submit your reviews here.
Many thanks to everyone who has submitted reviews and blogged/tweeted about Read & Resist Tucson!
I think that this is an awesome idea. There was a reason these books were banned and I think it is our job to figure out why. Thanks for the list.

I choose the book Ten Little Indians by Sherman Alexie. I was intrigued and curious why it was banned.
