I joined Banned Book Challenge 2009 by Pelham Public Library in March and it ended on 30th June 2009.

I vowed to read 2 books and managed to read 4. So yes I’m happy with myself :)

  1. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling (finished 03/09, rating 5/5)
  2. The Color Purple by Alice Walker (finished 04/09, rating 4.5/5)
  3. A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini (finished 04/09, rating 4/5)
  4. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling (finished 04/09, rating 4.5/5)

I loved all the books I read for this challenge! Surely some have better ratings than others, but really, all in all, they’re a very good bunch.

    Congratulations! I read The Color Purple earlier on this year, and rated it very highly. Read both those Harry Potters as well. In fact, seeing them up there, I’m really tempted to re-read them.

    Haven’t read A Thousand Splendid Suns, but that’s because I was disappointed with Kite Runner, so…

    Well done, though! Talk about putting 200% in :)

    Thanks anothercookiecrumbles! (How should I call you? Any nickname? ;)

    I’m not exactly a fan of both Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns to be honest, but I forgave a lot of the flaws for reasons that I’m not sure of.. Anyway, I think they’re both at the same level — so you know what to expect!

    Umm…. uncertainprinciples is my handle, so, you could use that? Or, just call me Cookie! Or, whatever you please really. I’ve been called by far too many names to keep track. lol =)

    Guess the story is interesting, and it keeps you flipping the pages? I don’t think I’ll be trying 1000 Splendid Suns in a hurry though.

    Cookie sounds cute ;)

    Yea the story is pretty good. I just think it could be melodramatic or unbelievable at times. But apart from that I’d say it’s quite decent.
