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?
