The original idea was to talk about ban books from around the world, but we focus a lot on the 10 most popular banned books in America.

In this week's episode of Pages n' Pages, we make ourselves very, very angry. We each independently picked five books and chose one-star reviews, and tried to get the other to guess the book.
