## Caption

A new year is the perfect time to read boldly. Starting 2026 with a banned book isn’t just about turning pages — it’s about choosing stories that challenge silence, expand empathy, and refuse to be erased. 📚✊

Each of these frequently challenged titles proves why access to diverse, honest storytelling matters. When books are banned, the ideas inside them don’t disappear — they wait for readers brave enough to open the cover. 🔥📖
