Rating System

I have tried to include content advisories for all my reviews and thought I'd provide a little guideline that I try and follow. I really appreciate it when other reviewers do this and maybe one day there will be a universal rating used for books. Until then... 

Sensuality Rating Scale

Squeaky Clean(G) No sex, chaste kissing if any

Clean (PG) No sex or behind closed doors

Pretty Clean (PG-PG13) No sex or "fade to black," mild innuendo, more descriptive kissing

Sketchy Clean (PG13) Implied intimacy, more descriptive fade to black, innuendo or crude

Not Clean (R) Open door sex scenes, descriptive innuendo or crude content

Violence Rating 

Mild- non-descriptive 

Moderate: more detailed

Heavy: graphic or detailed violence 

Language Content

Mild: less than ten, more mild words

Moderate: more than ten swearwords

Heavey: lots of swearing or more offensive words 

Religious Content

Mild: very subtle religious elements, no preaching

Moderate: more of a focus on religious themes

Heavy: main theme is religion or lots of praying, etc. 

Other Content

If there is drinking or other type content then I will usually list it in the review

I also have shelves on Goodreads marked Green, Yellow or Red based on content. Green would be more of the G-PG type books, Yellow is more of the PG13+ type books and Red are the not clean read, rated R type stories. Sadly, I didnt start doing this when I first started reviewing, but I do try and keep it updated as I finish a book now. 

For anyone looking for more clean readers/reviewers to follow come check out our Happily Ever After Book Club on Goodreads. 

Happy Reading!
