Content Alert

Lately, mostly due to the bad weather, and cold and flu season, I've been using the digital library to get my reading fix, instead of checking out paper-bound books at the library.  Unfortunately, for the most part I've struck out, starting books that I didn't end up finishing.  Usually, the problem was content that I felt uncomfortable with.  As I've said, I think everyone should make their own choices of which books to read, but I wanted to list the books that I tried and didn't end up liking, for anyone who would appreciate the warning.

1.  Water For Elephants by Sara Gruen

WHY?  There is segment involving a stripper that I could see, even skimming, was pretty darn descriptive.

2.  1Q84 by Haruki Murakami

WHY?  A disturbing and Sensual scene

3.  Paris Wife by Paula McLain

WHY?  Another Sensual scene

4.  Fallen Series by Lauren Kate

WHY?  I previously critiqued this series and didn't think it was too bad.  However, as sometimes happens, each book got progressively more sensual and violent.  I also thought it was overly dramatic.  Also, in some sections, there was content that would offend religious readers.

5.  Traveling Pants Series by Ann Brashares

WHY?  After the first book, there was more sensuality, and some language as well.
