Hi Annie, I always love your Literary Therapy episodes! For the person who was seeking content warnings for literary fiction, I have found Storygraph to be very helpful. For every book, there is a section of reader-identified trigger warnings in categories ranging from graphic to mild. This has been a game-changer for me as I try to avoid certain content in books.
