Dear Gwen,
Some historical fiction, biographies, or classic authors like Jane Austen and
Charles Dickens are fine too. I don't like books with explicit descriptions of
sex either. I do like romance but not as the central plot or theme of a book.
It is a matter of personal preference and what you can tolerate. If I think a
book is worth reading, I will fast forward or skip past parts that make me
uncomfortable. If you enjoy reading other genres and subjectss, you shouldn't
need to limit yourself to childrens' and religious books. I am not criticizing
those at all since I have read many good books in those subjects; however,
Bookshare has a vast collection that is constantly updating so there should be
something to absorb your interest and reading pleasure. I hope that I have not
offended you in any way.
Chanelle

So for me I'll stick in the religion and spirituality or children's and I
should be relatively fine thanks.

Some of the problem might be the definition of adult content. And for
that there has never been any agreement. I recently submitted a book and I
marked it as having adult content, but when it was put into the library, it is
marked as not having adult content. So I don't know if it was the admin staff
or what. However, like I said, the courts have never been able to agree upon
what is and what isn't so I don't think we will here either.

You would think so, but alas I have no adult content selected and I got
a pretty racy novel with sex scenes and it was not ticked as adult, so it must
be kind of hit or miss.
Take care!

If I go up and make sure my settings are set to no adult content,
does that mean when I go into the new books or brose any category that only
books with only no adult content will come up or will other books slip through?
