Book Club for banned books? (self.bannedbooks)

Hi! Does anybody know of any online book clubs for banned books?

Or does anybody wanna…start one?

I’m looking a comfy group to join that doesn’t cost money or conflict with my busy schedule of being sick all the time.

(if this isn’t the right community to post this is, let me know)

So.... Is this a correct, more descriptive name for what you mean? " minority POV stories ". Yeah I understand, unfortunately Louisiana decided that those bans were good. Which is insane considering the number of unique groups living in south Louisiana.

Yes and no? I’ve been trying to find the words to answer this - minority pov stories is definitely one big part of what I’m talking about, but maybe not the only thing I mean? I guess I want to read more books that challenge the kinds of awful laws like the one in Louisiana, and the thinking behind them. And, I want to do it online in a group, lol, so I can meet people and learn things I didn’t know.
