Tuesday Thingers

For this week's Tuesday Thingers, I've copied the list of the most-challenged books of the 1990s straight from the ALA website. I've highlighted the ones I've read (and starred in case reading from actual blog. Hard to see). Highlight what you've read, and italicize what you have in your LT library.
