Banned Books Week Staff Picks - Akacia
The Epic of Gilgamesh (c. 2100 – c. 1200 BCE)

“Gilgamesh dates to around 1700 BCE, a millennium before The Iliad. The epic tells of the first literary hero—the king of Uruk—on his journey of self-discovery. Gilgamesh learns that friendship can bring peace, that preemptive violence against monsters can have dire consequences, and that wisdom arises only when the quest is abandoned. Powerfully expressing grief, fear of death, love, vulnerability, and the ego’s futile pursuit of immortality, the epic stands as a personal testament for millions across numerous languages.”

I read this book for a class in high school. I feel like it really helped me understand literary analyses, and how stories can change and develop with time and culture. If you are a fan of the Iliad or the Odyssey, it’s definitely worth the read.

Bastard out of Carolina by Dorothy Allison ©1992

Written in 1992 by Dorothy Allison, Bastard out of Carolina is a semi-autobiographical Novel that explores themes of poverty, family and abuse in the rural south.

At the heart of this story is Ruth Anne Boatwright, known simply as Bone, a bastard child who observes the world around her with a mercilessly keen perspective.

The book is banned in Texas prisons and challenged in public schools across the nation due to its depictions of childhood physical and sexual abuse. However, many public school districts argue against this censorship and reinstate the importance of teaching this type of material.

Banned Books Week

A Snake Falls to Earth is a powerful YA novel that breathes life into the stories of two vibrant First Nations characters—Nina, a Lipan Apache girl, and Oli, a courageous young cottonmouth boy—as their worlds intertwine. Yet, despite its depth and significance, this remarkable book was unjustly banned—not because of its content, but because the author’s identity dares to challenge narrow perspectives. It’s targeted for its author’s own asexuality, which others have falsely labeled as “confusing” and “agenda-driven.”

We recently discovered this gem for the No Pressure Book Club. Which, if you're passionate about meaningful stories at a slower pace that meets your needs, you can join us for! (P.S.—we’re offering free copies while supplies last.) This isn’t just a book; it’s a compelling invitation to see the world through a fearless, First Nations lens—an unforgettable story that crosses generations and celebrates the rich, sacred storytelling of Indigenous peoples.
