Join me, whilst I discover the next story
to captivate my imagination and expand my horizons!?

I’d never advocate for banning books but I do advocate for books to be marked with explicit content for language as a method of understanding what we will find inside and therefore start to curb our disillusioned disappointment. If they can mark books for Science Fiction & Fantasy as much as lyrics in music, I am thinking it is time to start marking books with ‘strong language included’ and ‘explicit violence’ if the case might be as well.

-quoted from my review of Lost in Thought 

I am especially growing disillusioned by the fact too much of modern literature is evoking a stance that strong language is necessary to tell a story. I did not grow up on stories with strong language, either as a young child, a growing young adult, a teenager, nor a twenty-something; no, I began to see the churning tides towards more reads turning vulgar and inclusive to strong language, excessive violence, and strong adult situations as a thirty-something. Try as I might to be particularly particular about what I read and what I blog about, there are instances whilst participating on blog tours I am taken unawares and find issues with the novels I am reading whereupon I spark a notation I refer to as a ‘fly in the ointment’. As a book blogger, as a reader, and as a future Mum the sphere of literature I am most advocating for change is inside Children’s Literature and most especially Young Adult titles. As an adult reader outside that scope I find myself craving the ‘clean reads’ I grew up with and wonder why now in order to find them I appear to need to read outside the mainstream whereas previously it was quite common all the books I was picking up to read were ‘clean’ and had nothing to do with who was publishing the work itself.

I have updated my Story Vault to reflect those titles of YA (across genres) and Adult Paranormal stories which are inclusive to strong language. The rest of the Vault are organised by genre and if you were to visit each book showcase per title and see an absence of a ‘fly in the ointment’ you are assured I did not take any issue with reading the story. I’ve decided to take a stand against strong language because it is not something I grew up with nor is it something I am going take lightly as an adult. Literature to me was always a true lift of spirits and/or a challenging experience which opened my eyes to a different life outside my own culture, religion, or environment of where my own hours are walked. I grew in empathy and understanding through reading a myriad of stories and the writers always enhanced my vocabulary by the wondrous words they elected to choose to breathe life into their characters and their worlds. I have not stopped my search for wordsmiths nor for a story that I can read without befalling a muddling sea of explicit vulgarity and violence.

These are my wanderings as I blog my way through the books which alight on my path to read and my quest to find the stories and the writers I will want to savour a second time around after I find what I am looking for as I proceed forward into new expanding worlds of fiction.
