Reading Books For Pleasure

[LordHawk]

I am currently reading book two of the Black Jewels Trilogy by Ann Bishop. They are quite good. It is a fantasy series set in a different world where there are people with power meant to protect the land and the people. They have jewels that represent their strength.

I just picked up Christine Feehan's latest Carpathian book. Can't wait to read it.

Ooooooooooh. Covet.

 

[Rox_shybutcurious]

Ooooooooooh. Covet.

It was very good. Better than the last one I think. And, not to give anything away, but the heroine has a secret that even she doesn't know about.

 

[FurryFury]

It's good to see so many people enjoying their reads!

I keep looking for it, but haven't seen it at any of the stores I go to regulary. I'm gonna have to go to a bookstore to get it, I think. *sigh*

I've not read the book but I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I don't remember suggesting it. Is it on our BDSM book of the month club nominee list? If not we need to put it on there!

Good. See with these excruciating headaches I have I can't even remotely begin to think sometimes.

Frankenstein by Mary Shelly was interesting, though not really my personal cup of tea. What it showed about men in the society she was in was rather horrifying. I wonder if she knew at the time she wrote it, she was doing that?

 

[FurryFury]

Reading a book I love, I find myself surprised suddenly. I am choked by emotion. My throat hurts, it is so tight when moments before it was at rest and fine.

My eyes fill with tears. I am angry at this turn in the book one second. Then I smile, seeing how it fits the story and characters, though I may not agree with it. Seeing how, in it's own way it is beautiful.

So I hang suspended in emotions like that for a small while. One second angry and emotional that way, the next smiling and feeling the triumph of the written word a very different emotion. Back and forth, like the tide, my emotions ping until they settle at rest again.

I once more pick up my beautiful book. Within it's pages is a story I would not write but it has such imperfect perfection and it stirs my soul. I can only be grateful for it.

I've bought Master 'the loving dominant' as a moving in present but I haven't found anything comparable that's written for the 24/7 sub. Any ideas?

I've just started reading The DaVinci Code (yeah yeah I know I'm behind the times!), and have the Wilderness series by Sara Donati on my TBR (to be read) shelf.

Also just bought The Borgia Bride by Jeanne Kalogridis, sounds like an interesting historical novel similar to Phillipa Gregory's books.

I enjoyed The DaVinci Code although their deep dark secret was like, okay, so what to me. Also it bugged me that they didn't sleep, eat or go the bathroom during the book.

LOL

The Borgia Bride was good but not as good as I, Mona Lisa by the same author. I want more of this stuff!

I'm not sure just what you are looking for. Here are some possibilities:

Erotic Surrender: The Sensual Joys of Female Submission
by Claudia Varrin

The New Bottoming Book by Janet W. Hardy

and

Screw the Roses, Send Me the Thorns: The Romance and Sexual Sorcery of Sadomasochism by Philip Miller

Personally I think you can read and enjoy the book you got him too. I would so like to start a local kink lending library among other things.

I have a confession to make.

 

[bholderman]

...yes?

 

[FurryFury]

I cheated and read Kushiel's Scion.

It was sooooo good too.

Forgive me?

 

[bholderman]

The practice of reading is always forgiven.

I feel better now. Thanks!

Recidiva,

Do you think Love Sucks is a book that would be okay for a teen to read? Is it too explicit in your opinion? I can't quite make up my mind.

I think Christopher Moore's stuff should probably be read to people in the cradle to help them learn a sense of humor and language comprehension...so I'm probably biased.

I think my daughter read his stuff starting around 13, she's 18 now and read "You Suck" before I did, grabbed the book the second it came in from Amazon, so although it's explicit, I don't think it's a harmful explicit. It's usually more funny than anything else. Christopher Moore is really deeply romantic.

Okay, so a blue whore and the names of sex acts for cash might make them Google something...

I know what you mean. My teen has already read it. It's other teens I might recommend it to that I'm a bit unsure of. *chuckles*

Well...my daughter's always lent out her Harry Potter to folks whose parents wouldn't let them read it.

Ultimately she and her friends would come to me to ask what a slang term meant or to explain something.

I'd say teens are in need of resources.

LOL!

I agree with you!
