The Fifty Bookish Questions Book Tag

HELLO EVERYONE! I know … I’ve been gone for months again. But I am back with a book tag I found on My Little Book Blog. My comeback post should be a book review but I haven’t read anything.

Books that students will enjoy. Books that will teach them lessons, that will make them think. A bit of classics and some contemporary.

50. Which books should be banned from all schools?

I don’t think book should be banned from schools. I learned a lot from reading. 99.9% of me came from reading. I think schools could just categorize the books based on the age or grade?

YAYYYY. I wish you’ve learned more about me by reading this. Hehehe. Again, I apologize for my absence. I will be back with more book reviews soon. Maybe tips? We’ll see.

I’m not tagging anyone since this could be too long. But if you want, feel free to do so.
