Siar said...: 100+ books in one year is really a challenge to me. i.e., I'll read 1 book in 3 days. But I only read 3 books in the last whole year!

I, like many, do not like to be told what I can or cannot read. Most books are going to have some language, a little innuendo (because, in fact, sex does exist), and at least one serious theme. I’m not going to point out every single little thing I come across, but I have found, on several occasions, that it would have been nice to know, before I cracked the cover, some of the flags. There are two levels for each category. So, there you are. Make of them what you will.
