To censor DC's books?

I've just been setting up an old Kindle for DD and going through and downloading "suitable" books from my library, with the intention of then setting it to only display the downloaded books. But... she's 12 now. Do I really need to still do this?

YABU - I let my 12 year old read anything
YANBU - some things (murder, rape, violence etc) a 12 year old doesn't need to read

It's tricky. I generally don't censor, but having said that, I draw the line at something like Colleen Hoover (and books of a similar ilk seem to be all the range on tik tok 🙄)

I think back to what I was reading and I don't think it did me any harm, but there wasn't the range of YA fiction back then that there is now!

I don't think books should be censored, no. I wouldn't stop her having access to the library etc

BUT

I'd start off with only downloading books you're happy for her to read. Let her know you have plenty of others if she's interested
