The publisher's October 2 feature highlights challenged titles before the October 4–10 freedom-to-read campaign.

Penguin Random House published a new reading feature on October 2 ahead of Banned Books Week, October 4–10 . The 2026 theme is Let Books Be. Protect the Freedom to Read. The publisher highlights challenged fiction including Malinda Lo's Last Night at the Telegraph Club , John Green's Looking for Alaska and Margaret

Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale . The publisher's feature links readers to campaign resources and its wider book collection.
