Beware: Sarah J. Maas books:
A Court of Thorns and Roses,
A Court of Mist and fury,
A Court of Frost and Starlight,
A Court of Wings and Ruin
Empire of Storms
feature adult-aged characters and Explicit NC-17 content: Nudity, Drugs consumption, Rape, Physical Abuse, Abusive relationships, Language, Frank talk of a sexual nature.

They're also shelved as New adult, Adult and Erotica, but as they're marketed as YA, many people make the wrong assumption that they're Young adult.

If someone tries to add those books to this list please comment and I will erase them.

Diana,

Thank you for the heads up. I am the creator of this list, Books for Catholic Teens (having created a Facebook group by the same name).

Perhaps you can help me with removing some books from my list. I updated the list description to include: "This list is intended to call attention to books by contemporary authors that might otherwise go unnoticed, not big-name authors or big-house publishers." I'd like to remove the books by Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. Everyone who reads knows that those authors' books are appropriate for Christian/Catholic teens, and they don't need any attention from this list. However, many of the other books listed are by obscure authors who do need a light shone upon them to be noticed in order to be read.

I could not figure out how to delete the Tolkien and Lewis books myself. Thanks for any guidance or help you can give me.

I removed the Tolkien and Lewis books to reflect the new description and intent. Arguably, Maria Goretti in Garments All Red should also be removed as it's original publication year was 1950 and so probably wouldn't be contemporary, but I was hesitant to remove it since unlike Tolkien and Lewis, Poage is not well known. I also removed some duplicates.

In order to remove books from lists you must request librarian status from Goodreads.

Thanks, Nicole.
