Sometimes it’s difficult knowing which books (or other media) are “safe” to choose for yourself or your families. There are many resources available to give previews and reviews of the content. Other than the recommendations of trusted friends, how do you know what's good? One good resource is the website http://www.commonsensemedia.org/. On the site, you can read reviews and comments from others about what is in a book or movie. Of course, you must always use the Spirit as a guide, but this is a good place to start your research.
There are lots of smaller groups out there too, trying to sift out the good picks from the rest. I list these here with the caveat again that I cannot vouch for all the reviews posted on these sites, but they do tend to have similar standards and opinions of content. Here are their sites:

(or the related site http://ldswbr.blogspot.com/ )

And finally, a great site for building your own community of readers! This is a great one to put together with people you trust so you can share great reading without worrying about the content.
