So I do my best to avoid anything that might look like I have a political opinion. It isn't that I don't have them. It's that I'm not consistently this way or that and would rather talk about pop culture and Dancing with the Stars anyway.
But...
I've already made the mistake of telling you this week that I read banned books. I'm not sure what you think of me now, but that there Harry Potter tops the ALA list for the decade of banned books.
And it's Banned Books week. I feel like such a rebel.
Click here to see the top 100 for the decade. There's probably no hope for me. I've already read a bunch of 'em.
I feel slightly dangerous.
