This meme was started by Marcie @ To Read or Not To Read. She started it as a way to share a little about herself, but to learn about the rest of us as well. She says, "Sometimes its about books and book related topics and sometimes it's not. This is all in good fun and I would love it if you would participate."

This week's question is

"How do you feel about parents who monitor their children's reading?"

I am okay with it honestly. I know that they don't want us reading anything inappropriate. I understand that perfectly because my mom checks the synopsis of every book I read before she lets me buy it. At the same time, she's had her moments when she's said no to a book that I know for a fact there's nothing wrong with. If there are hundreds of people saying there's nothing wrong with a book, and most of them are somewhere within 10 years of my age, why can't she believe them? She has her moments. On parents as a whole, nothing wrong with it at all; just don't go overboard.

How do you feel about parents monitoring their kids' reading?

Leave a link to your IMM &/or SC and I will be sure to come by! :)
