Oh, what the hell, Florida.
Heyyy so I just looked at my spreadsheet of banned books and...
There are 1,402 BANNED BOOKS in the state of Florida ALONE.
To put that in perspective, on that very same spreadsheet, the number of banned books in California is: one (1).
If you guys have been following this (very new) blog and my posts, then you will know that the number of banned books in Colorado is: eight (8).
In Arkansas, it's four (4).
So. Just to reiterate, to repeat.
As of June 2023,
THE STATE OF FLORIDA HAS BANNED 1,402 BOOKS.
NEARLY HALF OF ALL BANNED BOOKS THIS YEAR, AND NEARLY THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF BANNED BOOKS IN 2022 IN TOTAL.
FLORIDA. HAS. BANNED. 1,402. BOOKS.
Please read banned books. Support libraries. Support authors. And please, please please please please, for the love of everything, stay safe. I love each and every one of you. Stay safe.
Support the American Library Association here.
