I don't know. The way that Goodreads Lists work, people can add whatever they want. There are several books on the list that shouldn't be.

agree! Maybe they voted on according to content instead of Christian publishers or something...
aren't we supposed to vote based on content? I mean, the girl who wrote Twilight is LDS (yes. Mormons are Christian), but I wouldn't consider it a clean book.
Twilight is terrible! It is soooo not christian. Vampires are of the devil and hell. I would never want anyone to read it. Why is it on here?

Okay, that makes sense.
Lacie wrote: "Twilight is terrible! It is soooo not christian. Vampires are of the devil and hell. I would never want anyone to read it. Why is it on here?"because it also talks about Christians values such as love, life( not aborting her child.)
Tanya wrote: "Anyone have any suggestions on Catholic fiction for pre-teen/teens?"Christy Miller was really really good. She's not Catholic but she is Christian and she helped those through Highschool
The problem with this list is that there is no one assigned as "curator" - the person who determines if a book fits the criteria of a list and adds or removes books as needed - and it's set up so anyone can add books. There are a lot of books on here that were either added by mistake, added because people didn't bother to read the title/purpose of the list, or added because a lot of people out there are just rude trolls (unfortunately, I think a lot of the latter). I mean, "Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner"? On a "clean", "Christian" reading list? Come on!
Thank you for saying this!! Carissa wrote: "Nope, Mormons aren't Christian, they're a cult. That aside, any new folks voting, make sure you understand that the list is for Christian teen girl fiction. Twilight and Hunger Games don't fit the..."

Jane wrote: "Not sure if it's on the list but Angel Eyes is a really good Christian book!"Yes it is on the list, and I agree it is a good book
Tanya wrote: "Anyone have any suggestions on Catholic fiction for pre-teen/teens?"Hi, Tanya. I'm over two years late replying, but my novels have a Catholic main character and are for pre-teens and young teens: 8 Notes to a Nobody and 10 Steps to Girlfriend Status. They are on the Goodreads Listopia list, Books for Catholic Teens, if you want to see a whole bunch. Happy reading ... Cynthia T. Toney, author

Please don't limit what your kids can read just because some books aren't completely "clean". If you protect your children too much, they WILL rebel and read even dirtier books behind your back. Just give your children the freedom to read what they like.
Stacy wrote: "I wish my library would carry these books most of them are not there"I think most libraries have a way to request certain books that you want to read but that they don't carry. Ask your local librarian.
Beware, don't let anyone Add Sarah J. Maas' books to the list. A Court of Thorns and Roses, A Court of Mist and fury, A Court of Frost and Starlight, A Court of Wings and Ruin and Empire of Storms feature adult-aged characters and Explicit sexual scenes. You can find alcohol consumption, sexual abuse, abusive love interests and frank talk of sexual nature.
Those books are 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 books.
You probably have a lot of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints following this list because they do share traditional Christian values, based on their revere for Jesus Christ and his teachings. To say Mormonism is a cult is misinformed. Supporting one another in the beliefs we do hold common can result in a stronger list of uplifting, literature for our kids.
