Week 6 was all about reading/learning something new. Two little words...50 Shades. Well, well, holy hell.
I always thought I was a pretty open-minded "lady", but there were a few pages that made me turn fifty shades of red!!
I'm not a romance novel reader. I much prefer actual stories and not gibberish. None of that "my loins were on fire" crap. But I just couldn't resist the hype. I got all three books and in just a few days they were all done. First of all, it's not romance. It's va-va-va-vooom. I blushed, I laughed, but mostly I had a constant O-face...like OMG I'm shocked....and Oooooo....I need mommy/daddy time RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!
The main character is twisted, and possessive, and border-line abusing...I wasn't sure whether to love him or hate him. One page I would be like "OH helllz no".....next page, "I wish Todd would yell at me like that". Twisted. I'm pretty sure I need therapy now to deal with my inner feelings of wanting to be dragged out of a restaurant by Todd because a random guy looked at me with sexy eyes. Do I want to be possessed like an object? No. But do I want to think that Todd finds me so attractive he would resort to that if necessary? Absolutely. Right? Wrong?! I don't care.
The writing was horrendous. The first few chapters were dull. By the time I finished the third book I was pretty much "over it"...but when the movie comes out I can guarantee you I will be first in line!!
But on a more serious note....a while back I read "My Secret Daughter"...life changing for me. I highly recommend it! Another good one..."The Fault in our Stars". Look them up!
I loved Fifty. The second book especially. We all love to hate Christian Grey. Minus the borderline abuse and stalker ways, he would be the perfect man. Hell, who wouldn't like to get anything we wanted, whenever we wanted. There is a certain degree of depth to these novels...all kids adopted....all kids different....the impact of how you are treated as a child forms how you are in adult life....I could go on, but I have a wee bit of a headache...haha. I just picked up the Secret Daughter, that's next on my list :) Keep blogging!
