I downloaded the 50 Shades of Grey trilogy on my Kindle.
And I'm reading them.
I finished the first book 2 days ago and am half way through the second. I was saving these books as my "summer read" because I thought they'd be perfect to read while at the beach but I am reading them everywhere I go....the gym, waiting for appointments, before bed, on the beach, laying on the couch...I am hooked now.
At first I agreed with Ana and thought that it was "50 Shades of F$%ked Up", but the second book has drawn me in to the plot. Not that I don't love a romance novel/love scene, but some of the scenes in book one were a little extreme for me. Wow.
50 Shades Darker is less kinky and more lovey, which suits my tastes plus I like the mystery aspect and learning more about the characters in this book. I can't put my Kindle down, which has put me in some awkward situations...
- Waiting at the doctor's office an older lady sitting beside me wanted to know about my "e-reader" (as she called it), and I was a little embarrassed to show her the screen because of what I was reading at the moment. Then she proceeded to tell me how everything I do on my "e-reader" is tracked and "they" can tell what I read, how long it takes me to read a book, etc. which I don't really care about, but then she said, "Imagine if you were reading THAT 50 Shades of Grey book. How embarrassing." I didn't know what to say and thankfully my name was called for my appointment! How awkward.
-While doing cardio at the gym and reading, a fellow teacher came over and wanted to know what I was reading. I am not ashamed of reading this smutty book so I told her, but it was her response that was shocking to me. She had read it too and told me all about the parts she liked, didn't like, and wanted me to share my thoughts as well. This lady is ready to retire and quite frankly, I don't want to know what she likes! TMI!
All I can say is, luckily I'm reading the books on my Kindle and not everyone knows what I am reading. I can only imagine what other weird conversations I would be engaged in if they did. And on that note, I'm off to bed to read a few more chapters.
