Lastenkirjahylly: Julkaisutahti tiuhentuu ja uudetkin tekijät ovat jo entuudestaan tuttuja: Syksyn tulevan lasten- ja nuortenkirjasadon zuumailua, osa 2
Kolmen suurimman, eli Otavan, Tammen ja WSOY:n syksyn uutuusluetteloista on poimittu rouva Huun tärppejä kaikkien lasten- ja nuortenkirjaentusiastien iloksi. Samalla luodataan vähän trendejä ja kustannusmaailman liikahduksia. Rouva Huu ei ole vielä(kään) päässyt sinuiksi kirja.fi-palvelusta löytyvien Tammen, WSOY:n, Liken, Johny Knigan, Siltalan ja Paasilinnan sähköisten uutuusluetteloiden kanssa. Saattaa olla, että ongelma kilpistyy osittain myös työhuoneen hataraan nettiyhteyteen tai jonkinasteiseen hahmotushäiriööni, mene ja tiedä. Mutta en taida siltikään olla tämän ongelmani kanssa ihan yksin? Kuinka moni kiinnostava uutuuskirja jää ansiottaan katveeseen kustantajien lyhytnäköisen markkinointiin kohdistuvan säästön takia? Ymmärrän toki joiltain osin kustantajien motiivit. Uutuusluetteloista on tullut nykyisin monivärisiä ja liimasidottuja yli satasivuisia paksuja luetteloita, joiden paino- ja postituskustannuksilla ajatellaan varmaan säästettävän rutkasti rahaa. J.
12 Banned Books Every Woman Should Read
While it would be great if we were past the whole “banning books” thing, the fact remains that hundreds of books have their places in libraries or on school reading lists challenged each year. According to the American Library Association, books are most commonly challenged for being “sexually explicit” or containing “offensive language.” But some of the books that are most often challenged are also literary classics, containing storylines that almost everyone can learn from. In honor of Banned Books Week 2014, we’ve pulled together a list of controversial books that every woman should read. Here are 12 banned, censored and commonly challenged books every woman (and person) should read: In a dystopian society ruled by the religious right, a woman is kept as a “handmaid” by a family in the ruling class in the hopes that she’ll provide them with a child. Angelou’s biography and coming-of-age story features many of the trials of her young life including her rape as a child.

Banned Books By The Numbers (INFOGRAPHICS)
Banned Books Week, an annual event organized by the American Library Association (ALA), grants readers, parents, teachers and librarians an opportunity to discuss the value of unhindered expression. Throughout the week, The Huffington Post will highlight voices from various communities impacted by censorship, including LGBT readers, religious writers and Latino bibliophiles. We will share an excerpt from a frequently challenged graphic novel, and examine the effect book banning has had on literature historically. We've also invited our readers -- especially those in the education field -- to share photos of the banned books they teach or admire. We've also taken a look at data provided by the ALA* about which books and authors have been challenged recently, where those challenges occur, and what the cited reasons are for said challenges. What's the difference between a challenge and a ban?
Le migliori app Android per chi scrive storie, romanzi e sceneggiature | Raccolte | Softonic
Lo smartphone è smart perché racchiude in pochissimo spazio tanti strumenti. Alcuni servono per lavorare, altri per divertirsi, altri per comunicare. Da giornalista, però, ho un debole per i programmi che aiutano chi scrive, per professione o per diletto, a scrivere meglio. E ce ne sono tanti, che romanzieri, sceneggiatori, poeti e scrittori di ogni categoria possono usare per organizzare idee e a trasformarle in un testo. Non si tratta, però, solamente di text editor, ma anche di applicazioni per prendere appunti, organizzare il lavoro, leggere, registrare.
