Banned Books Week Puzzle!

You guys. It's Banned Books Week.
I always find myself doing fun little games for my BBW posts, and this year I made a cryptogram!
See if you can puzzle out the important message that I'm sending you. (It's not "be sure to drink your Ovaltine", just a heads up!) Your hint is that the word "reading" pops up alot!

Anyone else celebrating Banned Books Week on your blog?

  1. I'm so sad I didn't plan for this (I'm blaming crazy summer life), but hopefully next year I'll be on top of it more!!

    Fun post too!

  4. Nice idea and cryptogram. I got it fairly quickly. I'm not formally celebrating BBW on my blog, but the local Kurt Vonnegut Memorial Library has several events going on and I'm sure I'll go to one or two. I am also currently reading Ben Winters'. "Underground Airlies" which, to my knowledge, hasn't been banned yet, but I could see it happening at some point. :-)

    1. Mr Vonnegut has found himself on the wrong side of the censors at least once! Oh, yes, I'm sure Underground Airlines will work its way onto a Banned Books list somewhere. People have some strong feelings about that one!
