[Publib] Book rating websites?

[Cynthia Rosser]

You can always use the Cristy awards lists http://www.christyawards.com/ as a start point.
Of course they all have a Christian theme. Most in a general way and not proselytizing any one denomination. The site give the selection criteria. I've made up book marks based on the awards list to hand out to both those patrons wanting Christian fiction and those who want no graphic sex, swearing or gay couples.

Hello!
 
I keep getting reader's advisory requests for books with no graphic sex scenes, no swearing, no homosexuality references, etc.  I have authors in mind and lists of "gentle reads", but sometimes they want more.  I know of many movie websites that give you this kind of info for films.  Does anyone know of a website or book or anything with this kind of info for books?
 
Thanks in advance,
