Does anyone know of a website that rates books for adult content vs family friendliness??
I came across this website in a blog a couple weeks ago - it broke down the content of books, objectionable material, etc. similar to how pluggedinonline.com does for movies, but I didn't bookmark it, and now its driving me crazy, because I can't remember the name of the site. This webpage was designed for letting parents know what kind of content books contained for your kids (so you don't have to pre-read everything).
I think it had fiction in the name???? I found it while browsing other blogs, so maybe someone who reads mine may have read the same one.
I found commonsensemedia.org when I tried to google it, which seems to be a pretty good site too, but couldn't come up with that site I had seen on someone's blog. I posted this in the forums, but I don't think many people visit the forums here.
Help... anyone???
Edited to say - I still haven't found "that" site I had seen, but have come across a couple decent book review sites. Discovery Journey rates both books and movies, but is not super easy to navigate, doesn't have an "at a glance" type option. I also did several searches for books I was interested in to see how they reviewed them, and none of the titles I searched had a review. But I understand it takes some time to build up a decent site, and it may still have a title someone wants to look up, or give an idea for a good read. Living Book Reviews has a very thorough rating and review process, but just doesn't have as many titles as I would like to see. I actually signed up to be a reviewer though, since we read mostly "living books", and perhaps I could help increase their numbers of reviews. (In case you don't know what a living book is, in my own definition, a living book is a high quality piece of literature that is interesting and imparts real ideas and knowlege in a way that makes learning enjoyable. Sonlight is full of living books.)
Edited again - I found it! Facts on Fiction is the site I had seen. It is very thorough in its review, but again, does have a limited number of books reviewed.
