Welcome to Tuesday Book Chat.
This is where we encourage book lovers to answer our bookish question of the week. As we are a faith-based group the questions refer mainly to Christian fiction or non-fiction.
Today’s question is:
Do you read trigger warnings or skip them?
We look forward to hearing your thoughts. Please join in the conversation by commenting on this post or on the blog post shared in our Australasian Christian Writers Facebook Group. Remember to comment today on Tuesday Book Chat to enter the giveaway.
Let’s chat!
If they have a warning, I do tend to read them as there are some topics I am not keen to read about. Also, at different times due to things happening in life, I wish there had been a trigger warning. I DNF two books at the time because of the subject. While in one book the outcome was good, I couldn’t handle the hero in treatment and all it entailed at the time. I also don’t like reading about abuse. I also do not want to read books that are the new trend bully to more. I appreciate a trigger warning for this story line as having been a victim this storyline can be triggering especially when they minimize the bullying.
Your turn.
I look forward to reading your comments here or at the FB group.
