Hi, Kim, thanks for this info about eight cousins and rose in bloom. I read
eight cousins over 12 years ago and want to read it again. I'll know now to
read it first before rose in bloom, which I already have. I'd also like to see
good wives by Louisa Mae Alcott and also Jack and Jill. Have a blessed day.

Hi, Cindy, could you be referring to the sequel for Eight Cousins by Louisa
Alcott, i.e., Rose In Bloom? I have never read that book myself. Regards, Kim.

Yes--I forgot about Little Women and the whole series of books Alcott
wrote. I especially liked Jack and Jill and (I forget the one that had Rose in
the title.

That is true about many Dickens books being too sad. I certainly
don't like all of them. My favorites are Tale of Two Cities, Nicholas Nickleby,
and David Copperfield.
Other childrens books I enjoyed reading while growing up were Little
Women, The Little House on the Prairie series, and Anne of Green Gables. There
are so many wonderful books out there to read and unfortunately, I don't have
time to read them all. :)

You're right about Jane Austen books I myself don't care for
Dickens' books, except ATale of Two Cities and The Christmass Carol, because
I find them too sad. I don't like reading about poverty and the mistreatment
of children--or of anyone, for that matter. smile

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?
