What does everybody think? Should we have a book rating system? How would you apply it? What categories would you like to see? Would you divide books up by age appropriateness or by content? And, do you think that a rating system could encourage or discourage readers from approaching certain books?

I look forward to hearing everyone's thoughts.

Rated Reads is a unique website where they rate books on the cleanliness of the content. http://ratedreads.com/book-review-rat... Rated Reads website

What do you think of their approach?

Looks helpful. Thanks for that! I just like to know what I'm getting myself into when I pick up a book (or when I'm helping other people find books to suit their own tastes) and sometimes it's hard to tell at first glance.

I'm glad you will find the rating system helpful. It's very true - that it is nice not to get an unpleasant surprise you weren't expecting! If you have a chance to check out the site, let us know what you think about it.
