How are these being chosen and is there any order? Curious when we'll be getting to some of the good ones like Lolita, Handmaid's Tale, Brave New World, Beloved, Grapes of Wrath etc? It's just been YA type stuff so far. Also, is it just things banned in the US? What about books banned from places like USSR (Master and Margarita, Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, etc). Sorry for all the questions.
No, it's fine! These are basically randomly books that have been challenged in school libraries or removed from school libraries in the US. That's what banned book week is referring to typically.
