As far as I can remember, The Breakdown by B. A. Paris and Pretty Baby by Mary Kubica don’t have sex in them (I might be wrong though).

What genre are you looking for? Does non-fiction count?

Any genre is fine. I was thinking, Robyn Carr, Debbie Mccomber or Sherryl Woods but it’s been awhile since I’ve picked up any of those books. And I couldn’t remember

Thank you for the work you do BTW! Oldies, but I think Catherine Cookson doesn’t have sex. I’m assuming FTB is ok.

If you like detective stuff, Sue Grafton’s books FTB at that moment too. Mine – definitely don’t ! LOL

@Kelly – is this the book hoarder challenge? You can check that image on the page and see people’s suggestions. Also, read a book that fits another category and if there’s no sex you can put it in this category instead. 😀

@Trish yep. I’m going to try to do that but I was hoping to get the books together in order before the challenge and then read them in order. But I may have to do that instead. Thanks for the help!

@Kelly – if you’re interested in trying one of my books, I’m willing to gift for an honest review.

@Trish sure! I would love to read it! I think ARC is one of the bonus categories and a book gifted to me is one of the regular categories!

The indigo girl was a good historical fiction novel. Dorothea Benton Frankbooks are set in modern day South Carolina. There is romance but to the best of my memory, not sex

People have sex, but there isn’t a sex scene/description, more of someone saying “I had sex with X” in Where’d You Go Bernadette

Do you consider young adult to be juvenile fiction? Six of crows is an amazing YA fantasy (doesn’t read like YA though). There are no sex scenes but they is mention of “pleasure houses” as one character had been sold to one, but she is no longer there during the books time period.

This is an odd book to suggedt. But maybe how the evolution of women’s right had become? It’s an old book, but has true info in it.
