Welcome to Litsy!

What do you on birthday at 5:30 am eat a cupcake & read fifty shades of grey duhh . ✨🎀🥳🧁 #happybirthday

Good news pop pickers…It‘s that #tuesdaytunes mash-up series that no one asked for: Literature meets the musical greats via seven fingered AI. This week I asked for…James Brown reading 50 Shades of Grey. Bob James reading 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (Looks like AI took that literally). Barry White reading The Joy of Sex. Wendy Carlos reading Catch 22. Flora Purim reading “Stories” and Herbie Hancock reading House of Usher.

Thanks for the tag @RaeLovesToRead

Well, to those who haven't read this one yet - just don't!

Not only is this a very toxic relationship with BDSM gone wild, the quality of the writing is also subpar.

Went on an impulse trip to Barnes and Noble and got myself some goodies! I got there an hour before they closed, so I was on a time crunch, but I‘m super proud of the variety I was able to snag. Fantasy, historical fiction, mystery/crime, horror, romance…spicy romance 🔥 I can‘t wait to dig in!

I‘m old fashioned, sappy kind of romantic 😅 #two4tuesday
1. I just love roses! The scent, the colour, it‘s just so beautiful!
2. There are just too many to list down as I love reading romance novels! I guess 50 Shades, don‘t judge ya, would be one that hits my mind, not for the writing but more for the love story 😘

I bought this book out of a charity shop for 1€. It was worth so much more. I couldn‘t put this book down as this book does not only build up ones sexual tensions but also sheds light on peoples unique relationships in a fun and quirky way. I cannot wait to read the next one ! Would 1000% recommend. #11 read book one of a trilogy

Sexy erotica read. 💕😘

I read enough to know I hated this book. My husband bought it for me and I threw it in the recycling bin. This is the worst written book I‘ve ever read in my entire life. The characters were ridiculous and the writing was on the level of a functionally illiterate Neanderthal. I didn‘t know whether to laugh or roll my eyes, so I ended up laughing while rolling my eyes. I wish I could delete this piece of literary manure from my memory for all time.

1 star

Read it within the same day I bought it! Real page turner!

I mean it was okay. Some good some bad. Writing wasn‘t the best. These books usually aren‘t my thing. I stick to cleaner writing but someone told me I should give it a shot and read them.

Wasn‘t quite as bad as I was expecting but I don‘t think I can give this a higher rating. Christian Grey is too much and if I ever meet a guy like this, I would probably run lol.

For some reason I bought all 3 as a box set when I was younger. So might as well check it out but not too high expectations for this

Finished my other book and started this one at lunch time while i was waiting for my car from the garage!
Have read the trilogy so looking forward to reading it from his perspective

I recently watched the movie Book Club and laughed so much I figured I‘d finally try this series >.<

Nola likes to help me read— as pictured above.

🎶 And because of the above: The Police - Every Breath You Take

@Catsandbooks & @AsYouWish - Thanks ladies for the tag
1. the tagged book (the series actually) & the Harry Potter Series. I want to just haven't. There is so many books to read. haha
2. I have only re-read books once. so can't really answer this. (Well my son has a few books that he makes me read him over and over... can't remember what they are tho)
3. Goodreads says 8,666
4. Sad to say, I don't really read nonfiction

#wonderouswednesday @Eggs

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Alright I‘m going there. Anastasia and Christian - I am calling them out. The toxic relationship of changing so much for each other and then the reliance on each other just is ridiculous. I get that it‘s Twilight fan fic but there‘s a reason why Twilight is fantasy. It just didn‘t translate well for me as adult erotic fiction. #lovehate #worstcouple

1- I like old books with signs of age and inscriptions from people who read them before me
2- Usually salty but it depends on my mood
3- Ardis, Edgar, Mildred & Sidney
4- Sound of Music, Mary Poppins, Labyrinth
5- Paris

The author repeats the word mumble so frequently it‘s infuriating!

A miraculous thing happened tonight.... my 23 year old daughter called and asked me for book suggestions!!! This has NEVER happened!! She has read Fifty Shades and loved it (I hated it 🤢🤮) and some Nicholas Sparks... What do y‘all suggest?? I‘ve got NS covered, but I‘m at a loss with the other genre 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ Help!!!!!!

I must admit I did like the fifty shades trilogy when I read it years ago but I‘ve been avoiding the movies cause I just didn‘t think the books needed to be made into movies but I‘ve given up and I‘m going to binge watch. I‘ve heard mixed reviews so I hope they‘re not too terribly cringeworthy

Bert is reading Fifty Shades of Oatmeal 😂 #raisingreaders

Full disclosure: I have never read this book! Moody billionaire with Mummy issues and a six pack bullies clumsy virgin into a poorly researched BDSM relationship. @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

It is a very good and different kind of love story.

#bookandmusic. I know this book is unpopular with Litsy but you have to love the soundtrack to the movie. So many good songs ! I actually bought the soundtrack on iTunes. 😱

My first thought when I got this response? I MUCH prefer Anne Rampling (Rice)! 😂🤣

This quiz told me that my perfect book match was "50 Shades..." which is......?

I guess I don't hate the description, but the choice of books is pretty wildly inaccurate.

Give it a shot here - https://www.buzzfeed.com/ishabassi/i-just-wanna-be-at-home-reading?utm_term=.jxr...

As much as I hate to admit it because of the book they choose, this does sound like me personality-wise😅 wish I had gotten another book though 😕lol.
*Which book matches your personality*

Oh, boy.... what book are you? https://www.buzzfeed.com/ishabassi/i-just-wanna-be-at-home-reading?utm_term=.yga...

This is what I immediately thought of for #StalkerKindOfLove - I read the first book when literally everyone seemed to be reading it (including my grandma) but I could barely get through it - to me it‘s so badly written and their relationship is seriously destructive. I can‘t believe the series and film are so successful but I don‘t like to judge other people‘s tastes so I‘m glad some do like it I guess !
#HeartsAndHardcovers

There are many popular things I have not read or delayed significantly. Fifty shades of Grey is one I will never read. I've also never read anything by Stephen King, because Horror is not really my thing, but I might eventually read something. I delayed reading he Harry Potter books and was disappointed by the first, finding it terribly derivative, but the next couple were better. One day I'll read the rest, probably with my son @ItsAngel

I have never read Fifty Shades of Grey and never will. I also won't read Twilight. #NeverHaveIEver

Recommendations please book lovers for hot steamy romance authors and books you might have read appreciate it cheers

This book hooked me up

I just died laughing!!! 😂🤣🤣 I'm sorry, I've been googling inappropriate Disney memes to cheer up one of my cousins, and I had to share this one here. Hahaha! 😂😭

I finally did it. 😂 I don't like bookspirals when I have to build them. 😆😂

I love this series... read it over and over not sure if it's my favourite as I love so many #readingwomenmonth #favouriteseries

#unlikeablecharacters #Aprilbookshowers Anastasia Steele, my first of two 😐

Nine 1/2 Weeks was the first Fifty Shades. I had such a crush on Mickey Rourke as a teen. #litsypartyofone #insomnia #litsomnia

Not sure what is wrong with me but I've cried twice during this movie. Its absurd- the movie and my reactions! #atleastheishot

#springflingreading Failed to finish. Fifty shades and The Harbinger.
