When I went to add Alcott to the authors' section I found a whole bunch h of
Katherine Applegate books that have been on the Wish List for a while.
If you do a find for a favorite author's name you'll find that author either in
the author section or in the individual title section. (I think books by
Gingrich have been on the list for a awhile.

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.

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.

ticked as adult, so it must be kind of hit or

Take

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?
