I mean movies and TV shows have content warnings and have for a while, I've known fans to make content warning lists for other fans for books so that someone who might be triggered by something can choose to engage or pass on it for that content. It's neither surprising or flabbergasting that perhaps some books have these too these days.

I can't say I overly care either way, other than it gives a bit more context and sometimes I'll be in a mood where that matters more. Idk.

Yeah as someone who doesn't have any PTSD issues or anything, I am Switzerland on content warnings for books. I think for stuff like Haunting Adeline it's perfectly valid to know what you're getting into so you don't waste your time lol.

I generally just skip past them because usually when I go into a book I know what I am in for.

To add, this doesn't seem too much different that sites like 'does the dog die?' to help people making informed choices about what they want to watch/read.

I think it’s different because one you can’t avoid and the other you can. I use doesthedogdie all the time, even for books, and I love it. But I don’t like trigger warnings for books. In movies and TV, content warnings are very general and the media tends to be about a cast of characters but books tend to be a much smaller cast so the warnings give away a lot more.

Having a book list its themes on doesdogthedie and providing a link to that site is miles apart from a list of every single potentially triggering or allegedly problematic thing in a work on the cover of a book.

Maybe, but I've only seen content warnings in books like the aforementioned Haunting Adeline where things like, "Removes eyeball and fucks the hole" are stuff I'd want to be warned for.

To me a page of content warnings is like a dedication page; easily skipped if I don't care.

The content warnings for TV and movies is a lot more broad, though, and usually describe something you'd know is in the genre, anyway. The warning of "violence" on an action movie, for example, or "sexual content" on a romcom, doesn't make you expect anything you wouldn't already be expecting.
