That said, it's still a kick-a$$ list of books that are worth checking out - even if I've lost faith in the editors of Bitch. <br /><br />Besides - I've GAINED even *more* respect for the YA community for the stand so many authors took on behalf of the titles that were removed.Micol Ostowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00432601846296713150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632611338168133022.post-30693996080655835812011-02-05T15:05:18.508-08:002011-02-05T15:05:18.508-08:00I did address the issue in an update on the origin...I did address the issue in an update on the original post on my blog.

In their explanation as to why they were removed, it made it sound like no one had read the books before putting the list together.<br /><br />Maureen Johnson and Scott Westerfeld are now asking that their books also be removed.<br /><br />http://www.smartbitchestrashybooks.com/index.php/weblog/comments/bitch-please.-no-really.-please/Jenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02024880986964198385noreply@blogger.com
