  2. Hopping over to your blog from #BackToClassics link-up for the wrap-up post (I will include mine below, if interested). I LOVE that you include content warnings/notes for the discerning reader. I do that too because of how much I appreciate when I am prepared and aware of language/sensual scenes/violence ahead of time, so I try to help other readers out too. Congrats on finishing all there categories. I made it to 9 of the 12.
