rolanniWhile searching for Something Entirely Else just now, I discovered Partners in Necessity on a (really, really) llllloooooooonnnnnnnnnggggggggg list of "banned or challenged" books. Dinged for gay, lesbian and bisexual content, byerlady, and deemed possibly inappropriate for children.
Well, um, who said Partners was a kid's book?
Look and wonder.

Some questionable theology and a little sadism thrown in, gratis. But I'm new at this game and don't have any censors in my address book.

Many congrats!

I need a tee shirt promoting banned books. I have a nifty one that starts out "Free people read books." Time to excavate the tee shirt drawer....
