This is just an update type of blog because I’m in between
thoughts and can’t write a full one yet. BUT some people worry if I disappear
and don’t blog like I normally do so that is the purpose of a short one.
As you can see on my “currently reading” shelf I’m under
going the task of reading several VERY DIFFERENT books. The “writing” books are
more like when I get a chance and are on my nightstand and next to my computer
and I WILL finish them eventually. Wicked is difficult and odd and although I
WANT to finish it, I’m in no hurry.
The other two...
I was reading No Fear because I got in a “Rocker” mood and
wanted to revisit some great characters written by SJ Frost. I started it (and
yes it’s good) but then I got distracted. My friend lent me 50 Shades of Grey
some time ago and told me I should read it. I am seeing her again soon and
wanted to return the book so I thought I’d pick it up for a quick read and get
it over with. NOT SO MUCH WHAT HAPPENED. I don’t want to go too in depth with
my feelings on the book because I have only read half and it is not fair to
give a “review” without reading the entire thing. (Unless it is one of those
books I can’t stand to finish and then I may not even review it.) A LOT of
thoughts going on in my head with this one.
I will have to refer you to the blog I posted several weeks
ago talking about 50 Shades of Grey and my thoughts on it being shelved in
Walmart. ( Click HERE ) There are loads of comments at the
bottom and it seemed to spark some good conversation. On point brought up by a
reader was that where she lives 50 Shades was listed in a local porn shop with
a huge sign out front. She mentioned the disturbing factor that a book
advertized so prominently in a porn shop should not be a title you can also by
at Walmart! That is just weird. And sick. Go read the comments! There are more
about a woman and her 6 year old.
So far, what I can comment is that this is much more than
erotica. I have read erotica. Maybe not so much Het erotica as M/M but still…
This is more than that. Even though I am only half way through, this is looking
like BDSM to me. Another subject I have not read many books with. So far, I am
thinking, “This is what women want? Holy shit!” It is an interesting prospect
to say the least. I’m not going to talk more about the book until I’m done.
What I DO want to do is finish reading No Fear and then
another title. The “other title” I would like some recommendations on. What I
want is M/M BDSM. Why? For comparison. I already have some great thoughts on a
blog about “sexual characters” involving Christian Grey and Evan Arden
(Possibly Johnnie Heaven) and what I feel is a strong (and great) example of a
walking sexual predator that can make you c*** with a glance. ;) *note: I do not think Mr. Grey would
fit that description* Anyway… Recommend some books to me! I can go to the
“lists” on Goodreads and find what everyone rated as the top m/m BDSM book, but
I’d rather hear from readers/fans/followers! I want this so I can compare a m/m
book of the same genre to 50 shades before I blog about it.
Extra info… I’m not writing. Sorry. I was sick for a little
while. Then I was reading. Now I am thinking of how this “famous” book was
written and why it is so damn popular?? Lots of thoughts in my head!
