        I plan on getting my hands on a copy of the Moon is Down as well, I’m just trying to find an edition of the penguin modern classics which matches the other ones!

    I would choose The Perks of Being A Wallflower or To Kill A Mocking Bird! I’ve heard great things about those books for ages and I can’t believe I haven’t read it. 😛

    Hi Rachel! Thank for this chance. I think I’d choose John Green’s Looking for Alaska. I actually haven’t read this author yet and while I did watch The Fault in our Stars, I’d love to read another book of his. 🙂

    I’d choose Perks because I’ve been wanting to read it for awhile. The books on that list are quite shocking actually, my library has a display up showing a couple of them and Harry Potter is on there.. Perks was on there, The Giver was on there. Apparently To Kill a Mockingbird and Of Mice and Men are on there, why I don’t know.

      They can be challenged for a number of reasons, usually religion, sex or violence are the main issues, but luckily rarely is a book actually banned altogether, but it can be removed from a curriculum or taken off the shelf in stores. Great pick!

    I would choose The Perks of Being a Wallflower, because I’ve heard so much about it and have wanted to read it for a while. (Jamie Coudeville in the rafflecopter)

    Not sure if I’m the only one who hasn’t read To Kill a Mockingbird yet, so I’d choose that if I win 🙂

    The Miseducation of Cameron Post. It is time that I start with some LGBT books and I heard amazing things about this one.

      It’s meant to be very good! I started reading more LGBT this year, both Far From You by Tess Sharpe, and The Before Now and After Then by Peter Monn, were very good!

    i think i would chose across the universe. i have read a lot of the books on these lists and i have seen the movie before. the movie was good and since books are always better 😉 i can only imagine how good the book is. ive always wanted to read it just never got around to it. and since i was in an accident and havent worked in 2 years i dont get to buy new books very often.

      LOL! I read it mid to late teens, and it was definitely an eye-opener! There are some male POVs in there that feel very real, and some graphic content if I remember correctly. It felt like I was reading something “forbidden” at the time, but I’d love to get my hands on a copy now! Not sure if mine is still around… R x

    I would probably choose one of the Harry Potter books, because I’ve read them all but don’t own my own copies. However, I’m interested in some of the books you’ve listed here, especially The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time. I might choose a book I haven’t read yet. 🙂
