Tortellini’s favorite banned books

I have impeccable taste in banned literature. Obviously. Read on for my commentary on each of my picks.
- Leenie

📚 The Handmaid’s Tale — Margaret Atwood
Duh.

📚 The Hunger Games — Suzanne Collins
A girl who knows how to handle herself. I approve.

📚 Persepolis — Marjane Satrapi
I respect a girl who refuses to just accept things because someone told her to.

📚 Gossip Girl — Cecily von Ziegesar
Another thing Princess Donut and I have in common… we love GG!

📚 Strega Nona — Tomie dePaola
Magic, pasta and a woman who clearly runs the household. Purrfection.

Azlan’s favorite banned books

I should be able to read and sit on whatever I want. Read on for my commentary on each of my picks.
- Azzie

📚 The Hobbit — J.R.R. Tolkien
I mean, I am the official Keeper of Second Breakfasts. Duh.

📚 The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe — C.S. Lewis
I’m named after the lion in this one. Obviously, I had to include it.

📚 Of Mice and Men — John Steinbeck
It says mice. I was interested immediately.

📚 The Perks of Being a Wallflower — Stephen Chbosky
Sometimes you just need to find your hoomans… and then everything makes a little sense.

📚 James and the Giant Peach — Roald Dahl
I’ve always wanted a snack I could eat my way out of.

This year I’ve taken annotating a bit more seriously, making it my side hobby I typically am always annotating a book on the side of my regular reading

It’s such a relaxing hobby and I love seeing the final results

Before I became an author, I was a reader. 📚🤍

Every book leaves something behind—a lesson, a feeling, or a new perspective. These are a few of the books that have stayed with me over the years and inspired my love of reading.

Becoming an author has made me appreciate the courage it takes to share a story with the world, and I’m grateful to every writer whose words have made an impact on me.

My real life long distance best friend got this book for me, it was one of the first books I ever annotated because I wanted her to be able to read it after me and hear my thoughts on the page

We both loved this experience so much we decided I would annotate another copy so we could both have our own 💕

It’s been so fun going back and seeing all my old annotations and copying them over to another copy while adding a bit more of my current style to it
I love being able to experience the book again through my annotations

Anyone want to know what i DID end up thrifting? 🤭

Recently I’ve been obsessed with @bookoffusainc ! It’s the perfect place to find physical books from my TBR on a budget! I also found books I didn’t even know I needed and let’s just say my bookshelf is a little bit more full now 🤗

Do you have any bookshops you love going to? Let me know!
