The BDSM Book Club Discussion Thread

Glad you are reading with us. I think quite a few here are into ebooks so that's cool.

My apologies if this is in the wrong place, it seemed the best fit.

I'm on my library's email list and yesterday they advised they've partnered with zinio and that I can use my library card to subscribe to magazines (read on kindlefire, pc, ipad, etc) for FREE. They email you when the new issues come out.

I'd post a link but it appears you have to access it via your library's portal. The magazines offered are up to your library; I didn't see any smut or romance (or smutty romance) unless you want to count Nat Geo or Cosmo (Men's Health!), but that may be my library--I am in the Bible belt...I think they only reason they carry Lora Leigh is because she's a native daughter.

 

[FurryFury]

I have randomly decided to make Stacking in Rivertown by Barbara Bell, our October 2012 book.

 

[FurryFury]

Um, did I forget August 2012 entirely BOTM wise? Seems so. Okay friends and book lovers, pick a book, any book that is your fav erotic, BDSM novel, or BDSM how too and weigh in on it. How about that?

I thought you picked 'At Grave's End'...anyway, I just finished all three books in that series today and have my review:

Great series!

'At Grave's End', especially, was similar in many ways to the Heku series by T.M. Nielson. The first book in the series ("Heku") is free for Kindle (or to read on the pc using the free kindle app).

There weren't as many smut scenes as I was expecting, but what was there was well written albeit sometimes gory It's very disappointing to have to wade thru a poorly written sex scene in an otherwise fabulous storyline--Jayne Ann Krentz does that in her Arcane Society series and I wish she'd just allude to them like Janet Evanovich does.

Very fast paced, lots of action...held my attention throughout, in fact, I have digital holds place at my library for the next ones in the series. I loved the complex intertwining plot line.

If I could make some nominations?

Dark Prince, by Christine Feehan, book one in the Dark series.

Bond With Me, by Anne Marsh, book one in the Fallen series

Burning Up Flint, by Laurann Dohner--book one in the Cyborg Seduction series

Slave, by Cheryl Brooks--book one in the Cat Star Chronicles

Three to Ride, by Sophie Oaks, book one in the Nights in Bliss, Colorado series...not a paranormal or sci-fi, very funny

 

[FurryFury]

Sharon

I'm so glad you enjoyed the Cat and Bones books! Yay!

I can get these three at my library and though they look pretty romance-y I'll be happy to try one for our next selection.

Dark Prince by Christine Feehan, book one in the Dark series.

Bond With Me by Anne Marsh, book one in the Fallen series

Slave by Cheryl Brooks--book one in the Cat Star Chronicles

Which one would you prefer to make our next selection after the ones already chosen?

 

[FurryFury]

So. It's the end of August! Remember how I forgot to pick a book and no one else had an opinion for August? Remember how I said, "Everyone pick a fav BDSM book and post about it? Now is the time! This is going to be fun!

 

[FurryFury]

One of our earliest BDSM, BOTMs was Kushiel's Dart by Jacqueline Carey.

Personally I LOVED it! I would say I've been dissappointed - neutral on the majority of BOTMs that we've done but this one was and remains one of my all time favs!

When I first saw that is was 700 pages I was worried that I wouldn't have time to finish it in a month. I was even more worried that it would put other people who wanted to read with us off.

Opening the book there were even more signs of possible trouble. A map was in there. I don't usually like books with freaking maps. Not only that but there also were 3 pages of character names. I remember thinking to myself, if I have to refer back to these pages then the book isn't written well enough.

Being the kind of person I am, I decided that I would at least try to read the book. I read the first chapter and found myself sucked in. The book was done all too soon. The only consolation was that there are more books!

Unlike the most selections, this one had character development and IMO more real BDSM though it was cloaked in service as a courtesan and for the Gods and/or royalty.

I cared much more about the characters and outcome in general. I LOVED that she enjoyed the pain to the point of orgasm. Even more, I loved how she could read her patrons. She used all of her abilities to help her country too. I just really enjoyed this book. I am now recommending it to all of my friends!

I swear, how do I keep missing that there's new posts here?

If I only had a brain is my new theme song.

I could re-read Dark Prince, although it wasn't very bdsmy at all. Good book, though. I recently read a very short story by ... Rosa Steel (had to look it up). It was okay, I don't know if I'd call it bdsm, but it was definately kink. It was called captive.

Honestly, I'm always reluctant to read her stuff, and I always enjoy the book in the end. I don't know if I agree that her books are bdsm, although they have moments when they are, because I feel she has quite a bit of power in her relationships, but she's definitely a pain slut and the plot lines are good and keep you engaged.

 

[FurryFury]

*hugs* You can re-read it if you like but you don't have to. You can just talk about why you love it instead.

[FurryFury]

Oh yeah. She's a big pain slut. Bigger than me by a lot. LOL

BDSM Book Club Discussion Thread

Ladies: I've only posted once. A newbie ... but I just returned from vacation and picked a book from Amazon -- it was slated as BDSM. It's title is Auctioned Off by Leigh Tierney.

It was a little graphic, about an 18 year looking for a way to pay her tuition to Stanford by selling her virginity. The treatment by the buyer was rough, and the other characters left something to be desired. Yet I liked the young lady who was trying to get ahead in the world with only her wits and willing to accept the pain and humiliation to get there.

There was a second book (I was in Alaska and not a lot to do at night . . .) it was Auctioned Off II: Another Date With the Doctor.

I almost wonder if there are really places like this where girls feel the need to surrender their bodies and submit to the sexual play that they were never aware of.

It's different for those of us who may enjoy some of the lifestyle. I'm learning and am enjoying looking in while I get brave enough to speak up a little more. Thank you for letting me join your book club discussion group.

Thanks for hanging with us Ditto79!

I like the idea of an auction. I've written about that myself. Sounds interesting.

 

[graceanne]

I honestly can't think of anyone who'd be as big a pain slut as her.

Auctions are almost always hot.

Kinky Experiences

As a kinkster who also writes BDSM...I am willing to offer up my review services to anyone who would like to know more about their BDSM accuracy. I can also recommend sites to visit where you can learn more.

Just a thought.

Lilly R


Also I wrote about a recent real visit with my dom here and on my blog

called: A Lovely Visit under BDSM

Would appreciate non-kinky as well as kinksters' feedback.

TY

It's a major recurring fantasy, for sure. There are places where you can almost replicate the experience, mostly for a weekend, at best. We all of us, unfortunately, have to go back to work on Mondays.

In writing and reading those fantasies we get to ignore the fact that without informed consent it's not actually BDSM-- it's sex trafficking.

Anne Rice did a pretty good job walking that tightrope, in her book "Exit From Eden."

 

[FurryFury]

I enjoyed Exit From Eden too but not her Beauty Series.

Btw, a friend of mine went to a kink convention. Her husband auctioned himself off for the night. They are VERY into volunteering while I'm a stay in the back sort. LOL They both had a great time with it though.

[LikeASnowflake]

I really really enjoyed the Wicked Lovers series by Shayla Black and Surender To Me has to be my favorite part. The only thing that I'd say I didn't like about the books was the repetitive theme with the ''Stalker'' type of characters who wanted to kill the main characters. I mean it was fun for the first two books but then it was like *yawn* she'll be saved anyway.


But my favorite BDSM author has to be Claire Thompson. I don't know what it is but I love all of her books. Especially the more hardcore ones like Slave Island, Enslaved or Toy. I also enjoy her M/M BDSM novels. My favorite so far has been Sub For Hire.

 

[ditto79]

I, too, enjoy Claire Thompson's books. My favorite is Slave Castle with Marissa fighting submission and trainer Aaron determined to break her spirit.

Oh yeah this one is really good as well. She has written so many great novels. She's really my favorite author.

 

[FurryFury]

Thanks for joining us and posting. I think I've read a couple of those books. I'm going to have to look them up to be sure.
