Banned Book Week is over and the buzz, in case you didn't hear it, was that fellow Leaguer
Richelle Mead is probably the first American author to have a book banned before it was ever written. I'd always imagined the author of a

banned book as a Ted Kaczynski type, some bearded misanthrope writing manifestos, or a Marquis de Sade penning anti-church pornographic screeds.

So imagine our shock when our own sweet Richelle not only had her current Vampire Academy books banned, but all future books in the series as well. Not even Henry Miller or Kurt Vonnegut managed such a feat. Those schoolmarms in Stephenville are such fraidy cats. Very un-Texan behavior. Yes, redheads are so subversive.
