Hello Littens! My book club has decided we want to read a Fifty Shades type book, but hoping for a bit more plot. 😉 Or, maybe something along the lines of Verity by Colleen Hoover. Something fun and entertaining. Suggestions, please??? Thank you!!! The picture is just for fun. 🥰#petsoflitsy #catsoflitsy #dogsoflitsy

Megabooks Cuties! 🤩 Not sure about a book. 3y
vlwelser Sylvia Day writes books that are like 50 Shades but not Twilight fanfic. This seems to be her most popular. 3y
BethM So like romance or erotica or bdsm? 3y

Bookgirl @vlwelser That‘s a good suggestion; it‘s just that I‘ve read it 🤣 3y
Bookgirl @BethM Yes any of that really…something that will give a middle aged ladies book club an entertaining convo 😉😉 3y
BethM Let me peruse my have read list. @Jas16 what do you have to offer? 3y
Bookgirl @BethM Awesome, thank you so much!!! I usually read horror and fantasy so I didn‘t have many ideas…this is great! 3y

I'm on the last book 📚 in this salacious trilogy. I highly recommend it, if you're looking for a steamy beach 🏖️ read for summer.

Guess what Littens? I'm back! I apologize for the hiatus, but life has been getting in the way. Since my last post, I have become a book reviewer on Instagram, and I get paid to do book reviews for the Online Book Club website! I have also started writing again and I have three books going that I hope to publish all at around the same time! I've missed you all and it feels so good to finally be back! ❤

#16, #17, #18: Well this happened. I was super late to this party, but WOW do I have so many thoughts about this series. Also I watched the movie. Who DANNY ELFMAN did the music for... which remains the only redeeming quality. The coercion doesn‘t feel sexy - despite loving BDSM bc explicit consent around power exchange is actually hella trauma informed when done correctly. I now see why the BDSM community was like *nope* we do not claim this.

Let's talk about it
I been asked to read and review this book and so here we are. I think this one is one of the instances where I feel like the movie was better. Although I didn't hate the book and it wasn't all bad there was certain things about it that complety turn me off. For example Anna was so whiney. In the movie she was much more assertive.

Read these a couple of years ago before the movies were made. Everyone seemed to be reading these books so I gave it a try! Did not disappoint!

50 Shades of F%#£ing Gray
Because of the fanclub...the same people who constantly talked to me like "how can you read" or "or how can you read books without pictures" or "reading is boring" or "are you really reading that big book, I will die if I have to" or versions of this, was the same stupid people jumping on the bandwagon, buying the book, huddling in small groups to discuss it and telling me that it is the greatest literary work ever?

GlitterGirl Really? Have you read Tolstoy? Dickens? Stoker? Austen? Bronté? Pratchett? Gaiman? Maybe King? Have you read Hitchhikers Guide? Have you actually ever read a real book? Or where you one of those stupid creatures who came to me for book reports in school? So suck it 50 Shades Fanclub!

Worst villain is Ana's boss, Jack.

Yes, I‘ve been broken-hearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma Mia, now I really know

I guess this is how Christian is feeling at the beginning of book two, after how he and Anastasia ended things in book one. #MammaMia #ABBAinAugusy

I hate that just because this book has such a strong sexual presence that people give it an overall bad image. This is a love story and just like every other love story there‘s a connection between two people. The love between Anna and Christian is what made her different from all the other girls. He noticed her and he change for her because she‘s the one that he really wanted. It‘s more than just sex, it‘s a connection unlike any other.

TheHungryBookworms I loke the story line i just disliked how whiney she was and how much she wished the oh my and her inner goddess. That turned me off but the book wasn't all that bad 4y

2. Any old school remakes or movies “based” on books. 🤫

This series just did not work for me! I'm yet to read the 3rd book! I found the same dialogues being repeated, similar scenarios. Just too monotonous for me! And I hated the protagonists! I thought Anna was too whiny! And her inner goddess annoyed me! Once or twice was okay but it was getting repeated everywhere! Christian Grey wasn't appealing either! Atleast I thought he was a psycho!😂😂 Just my opinion though and I haven't watched the movies!

SassyBookworm I thought the same thing! & I bailed shortly through book 3. Just wasn‘t for me! So you aren‘t alone! 7y

I have never read or watched the Fifty Shades of Gray trilogy. As someone who was once in a controlling, abuse relationship, I have some very strong feelings about seeing that kind of thing romanticized. The points made in this link perfectly sum those feelings up. 🚫 https://everydayfeminism.com/2015/03/50-shades-of-abuse-10-signs-of-unhealthy-re... #NeverHaveiEver @ItsAngel

EmilyChristine I read the first one just so I could have an opinion. Awful. Not only the writing but also the abusive storyline. Not romantic at all. 7y
BooksAndChopsticks I read the article and wholeheartedly agree. It's beyond basic. 7y
stargazerblue49 50 Shades. I‘ve only read the first of the Twilight and Inheritance(?) saga (Eragon). Mostly so I could have my opinions about them. 7y
See All 10 Comments
That-Bookish-Hiker I read the first one which I ended up mostly skimming. I wanted to know why everyone loved it so much. First of all the writing is just terrible. Living in Portland and visiting Seattle you could tell the author did no research of the cities. You could tell she did no research for BDSM relationships. The whole thing was not romantic or a healthy relationship. I can't believe the book has as many fans that it does. (edited) 7y
EllieDottie I'm the same! I've never read 50 shades! 7y
WarpedSweetness I've also been in a controlling, abusive relationship. When I read the first book that was one of the first things I thought of. And as someone who is part of the BDSM community, she did not do adequate research. None of that book embodied the Safe, Sane, Consensual motto of those in the lifestyle. 7y
ItsAngel @GypsyKat that is a series that I haven‘t and will never read. I really don‘t know about the inner workings of the story since I haven‘t read it. I can only say that I know it wouldn‘t interest me and that I‘ve heard the writing is terrible. I also take issue with an abusive relationship being romanticized. 7y
Bookdragon69 I‘ve never read any of the Harry Potter books. 😬 That genre(fantasy) just doesn‘t appeal to me. Not a big fan of young adult books either. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 7y

When this trilogy came out, I caved and read the first one, just to understand the hype. I loathed the characters and did not like the writing style. The popularity continued, so I decided to give the series #onemoretry. Maybe things got better? Nope, not for me. I've only read one and two. The Grey saga can stay a mystery to me. #JuneTunz

BekaReid I never understood the hype about these books. And after reading Roxane Gay's Bad Feminist, who has read 50 Shades and discusses it in her book...well, that just confirmed my decision for me personally... no interest. 8y
Librarybelle Sometimes my go to reads are a bunch of fluff with terrible writing, @Cinfhen . This series...just not for me. 8y
Librarybelle @BekaReid I didn't understand it either. I had so many patrons at the library tell me how wonderful these were, and I quickly discovered I didn't agree. Christian Grey is not my idea of a perfect man. 8y
lauras.enchanted.library FINALLY! Someone finally agrees with me. I skimmed most of Fifty Shades because it was too cliche and boring. I was ready for it to be over. Then with book two I found a scene that shouldn't have been written and immediately became so angry I threw out my copy. Which I would never do!! but that book needed to go. 8y

Sweettartlaura I did see the first one when it came to HBO. And you know what? I missed her Inner Goddess😂. I HATED that part in the books - thought it was dumb. But without that inner monologue telling you what she's really thinking & feeling, the movie falls flat ... & it's not like I had high expectations in the first place 😜 8y

DebinHawaii I read them too mainly because I wanted to see what the fuss was about & all my friends & co-workers had. I agree with @Sweettartlaura --they were fun and I've read worse.

Hollie I read all three, too, even though they were terribly written, they were quick and fun. It was the first time I'd read erotica, and while there are better erotica books out there, 50 Shades opened up that genre to so many! 8y

The book had a great plot and storyline, but it was poorly written. There was constant repetition and it became more agitating as I continued reading the book. Overall, the dialogue was intriguing! If you're into erotica fiction types of books, this is the one for you!

When I read the first book it was interesting to see how unrealistic it was that Anastasia's character was somewhat of an expert as far as being in d/s relationship- and Christian Grey knowingly having control over her. It was rushed, and in the first book I rolled my eyes ?every time I read "my inner Goddess".

I've read it and I am not sorry. It was a surprise for me because I didn't know at the time anything about this book and it got to my attention by accident. It was interesting and fun to read.

MrBook One should never be sorry reading something. 😊 8y
Andreeacristinne True! At least, when it's about the books. Sometimes, the articles I read, I find myself missing the time I 've wasted. 8y
SarahKay I agree. It was kind of stupid but fun. You'd be surprised how many highbrow readers I know have admitted to reading it after I mention that I did. 8y
