Booking Through Thursday #2 & Third Sentence Thursday #1

Booking Through Thursday is a weekly meme hosted by Deb @ BTT. This week's question asks the following:

In contrast to last week’s question–What do you think of censoring books BECAUSE of their intended age? Say, books too “old” for your kids to read?

Well, I don't have kids but I wouldn't want to block everything out of a child's way. Sure, there are some books that are WAY out of their league for understanding at a certain age. Some things could be too intense when they are too young. Of course, I'm thinking about books I've read and loved now that I'm in my 20's. A few of these deal with very explicit topics, and exposing children to that may be too much for them. Once they are teenagers and understand the facts of life, yeah, they can read whatever they want. But, I kind of think this is fairly logical. I'm not going to be one of those mothers that tells libraries and schools to ban books from certain sections because I feel they aren't "age appropriate". I read banned books for crying out loud! Each parent has the right to choose what their child reads, but no parent has the right to choose what my child reads. There should be a healthy balance. (Somehow I'm thinking that this makes barely any sense, but I think it does at the same time; I woke up to early this morning, lol)

"My heart pounds so hard I can feel it in my ears."

My Review:

Having been to that place before, I don't imagine wanting to go there again. The pounding continues, and my heart begins to hurt. Will this ever end?
