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?
