Parent notes
This list is highly problematic for conservative families as it features several titles with explicit sexual content, graphic violence, and worldviews that directly conflict with traditional Christian values. Parent concerns: Graphic sexual content and domestic violence (It Ends With Us); Explicit sexual content and adultery (Bridgerton series); Extreme graphic violence, gore, and incest (House of the Dragon/Fire & Blood); Witchcraft and revisionist morality (Wicked); LGBTQ+ themes and identity politics (Interior Chinatown, Capote's Women); Dark Gothic horror and occult elements (The Watchers); Graphic depictions of historical trauma and violence (The Tattooist of Auschwitz, The Nickel Boys) Romance/sexual content: Includes everything from 'clean' middle-grade fiction to explicit 'steamy' romance (Bridgerton) and graphic descriptions of sexual violence and abuse (It Ends With Us, Under the Bridge). Language: While varies by book, the collection includes titles known for heavy profanity, including 'f-words' and crude language in contemporary fiction like 'Bad Monkey' and 'It Ends With Us'. Violence: Includes graphic descriptions of war, murder, domestic abuse, and fantasy-based gore (Fire & Blood). Substances: Several titles involve heavy drinking, drug use, and the social culture of the 1950s/60s elite. Worldview themes: Occult/Witchcraft, Gender Ideology, Social Justice/Critical Theory, Post-modern Morality, Historical Revisionism
