Erotica Much?

I've mentioned in the past that I am a bookworm. There is nothing I love more than curling up on the sofa (or in bed) with a good book and a glass of wine. Normally Chick Lit, period novels or my monthly romance books are my drug of choice...until now that is.


I've heard a ton of hype about a new trilogy called Fifty Shades of Grey and decided I would wait to jump on the bandwagon because I had enough books stacked on my nightstand to last awhile. Well, I finally caved this last weekend and haven't been the same since.

This is a Public Service Announcement: Do not drink wine while reading this series. I cannot be liable for what takes place in your dreams that night!

I am not sure if all Erotica books are like this, but I couldn't put this series down! I purchased the set of books (yes, I actually bought the physical books and not just the kindle version...) and went home, poured a glass of wine and curled up on the sofa. I did not get up from my chair until almost 2am and was 2/3rds of the way through the book. I promptly woke up the hubs to review discuss the book. The next morning I woke up and went right back to my chair and finished it.

I promptly started the second book in the series and much to the hub's dismay, I left out the wine. Now I am finished with Fifty Shades Darker  and am about to start the last book. A part of me wants to see if I can read (and enjoy) 1500 pages in a week, but part of me is sad that when I finish it my walk on the wild side will be over.

Have any of you read the series? If so, what were your thoughts on it? Was there wine involved?? :)

  1. Alright, you've convinced me to read the series. And waking up your husband to discuss the book makes me laugh out loud. I would TOTALLY do that, too! Love your blog!

  2. I'm almost finished with 50 Shades of Grey right now! I had to read it and see what all the fuss was about. What I can't believe is that they are trying to make it into a movie...HOW?? a porno maybe?? haha
