"Lula Dean's Little Library of Banned Books is shaping up to be this summer's Big Read. Kirsten Miller has that rare ability to take a serious subject and make it very, very funny. I enjoyed this novel and you will too."--James Patterson The provocative and hilarious summer read that will have book lovers cheering and everyone talking! Kirsten Miller, author of The Change, brings us a bracing, wildly entertaining satire about a small Southern town, a pitched battle over banned books, and a little lending library that changes everything. Beverly Underwood and her arch enemy, Lula Dean, live in the tiny town of Troy, Georgia, where they were born and raised. Now Beverly is on the school board, and Lula has become a local celebrity by embarking on mission to rid the public libraries of all inappropriate books--none of which she's actually read. To replace the "pornographic" books she's challenged at the local public library, Lula starts her own lending library in front of her home: a cute wooden hutch with glass doors and neat rows of the worthy literature that she's sure the town's readers need. What Lula doesn't know is that a local troublemaker has stolen her wholesome books, removed their dust jackets, and restocked Lula's library with banned books: literary classics, gay romances, Black history, witchy spell books, Judy Blume novels, and more. One by one, neighbors who borrow books from Lula Dean's library find their lives changed in unexpected ways. Finally, one of Lula Dean's enemies discovers the library and decides to turn the tables on her, just as Lula and Beverly are running against each other to replace the town's disgraced mayor. That's when all the townspeople who've been borrowing from Lula's library begin to reveal themselves. That's when the showdown that's been brewing between Beverly and Lula will roil the whole town...and change it forever. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Thank you to Goodreads, the author and the publisher for this ARC.
I have a Little Free Library so was excited to read this.
In the book, it's called a “little library,” I guess not to infringe on the Little Free Library trademark, I guess you would call it. Not sure of the exact word to use.
It was a very fun book to read and light but not fluffy and yet serious history lessons. When the readers in this small town people found the real books under the false covers I loved their reaction that they weren't reading the real book. They definitely did learn more about reading that book I think.
It wasn't just about banned books; it was also about the different people who lived in this small town in GA. I guess because it was such a small town, it was a Christian one, so religion was brought up occasionally.
I loved most of the citizens of this small GA town! A great ending too. ( )
