Finished Fifty Shades Darker

In my opinion, although it was a fast read, Fifty Shades Darker was just a lot of the same of Fifty Shades of Grey and not a good way. I could deal with the author's somewhat bad writing through the first book because I was intrigued and the sex was good but now I am kind of tired of reading it.... I must admit once you start it is hard to put down but I was much less motivated to pick the book up! Yes, we delve deeper and Fifty has peeled off many layers I wasn't expecting to see but I feel like besides the sex scenes the action and plots could be better. I must say I liked it enough to continue on and finish the series, I didn't see him buying a house for her, or that Mrs. Robinson still wanted him so badly and really was such a bitch! Those were twists I really liked about the book and that had me going. I finally found a pic of Christain that lives up to the standards my imagination had for him. Marchin on to the third book, hope its not too long!

TB Episode 504

Episode 4 of Season 5 is one of my most favorite episodes so far!!! Was that Hooligans???? I was wondering if our loveable strip club from the books, where Claude manages was going to make its appereance! I love watching the series because I still am on edge since it doesn't follow the book in most cases but am so delighted when I see trappings of the book dispersed throughout! Tara has gotten a hold of herself so far, Thank God, and is under Pam's wing, I hope it says that way. The Authority got its fish, the kid vampire and Lafayette is possesed! Love that spin and can't wait to see where it goes. Sam's friends end up dead? And Terry got himself in a stupid mess, guess that buddy of his was right afterall. Everyone in town looks down on Sookie for helping to turn Tara and she can hear all of it! Was totally feeling for Sookie at that moment BUT then Alcide is now under her spell and I just LOVED Bill and Eric watching her making out with Alcide! Juicy times and more drama is yet to come! The most moving piece of all for me was of course, Big E releasing Pam! How sad. During thier whole moment, I was thinking, I hope Tara is not really sleeping and hearing this so she can see how good they really are....I also think it was more emotional for me because having read the books, I feel like I have much more background on Pam and Eric's relationship. I can't imagine watching the series without reading the books. It seems like they are going to delve deeper into the fairy pot and I can't wait to see what they are going to do with that. Can't wait until next Sunday! TB's got me wishing my weeks away!

Finished Fifty Shades of Grey!

OMFG! Good thing Carol did a great recap on the basic storyline of the book but I don't know if I am up for it after just finishing this! Too soon! I was open but also with slightly low expectations as I read this book, knowing that my cousin said that the author's writng sucked and the "inner goddess" got on her nerves. Well, I throughly enjoyed the book, had to start on the next right away and am definetly emotionally hooked!!! So much so that it even got a little weird at times because, like Carol said, because the book is soo descriptive you feel like you are having these experiences right along with Christain and Anasatia...I love the names in this book by the way! I can definetly see the similarities with Twilight and see how the author got inspired by the Twilight series, the old car with problems, the erratic loveable mother, Ana's innocence, him telling her to eat all the time, etc. Suprisingly there is also some very insightful relationship advice sprinkled throughout the book. For example, I love when Ana's mom says, " You see, Ana, men think that anything that comes out of a woman’s mouth is a prob­lem to be solved. Not some vague idea that we’d like to kick around and talk about for a while and then forget. Men prefer action.” Very true indeed! So I would say YES, the book does live up to the hype, be prepared to feel weird and swept away!

True Blood 502

Sunday nights have become quite thrilling at my house that's for sure.  I anxiously await to see what will happen next.  The 1st episode was full of action and so this one is a little slower but still  maintain the ability to captivate Me completely.  Tara is now a Vampire and she does not appreciate the fact and has Vowed to never forgive Sookie and Lafayette for this.  Bill and the One and only Big E are being held captive by the authority.  They are being held and questioned.  During the interrogation the administration gets rough buy administering an IV drip of a silver solution.  Though I'm sure it is pain full for them , they look very sexy and strong, they do not give away any self incriminating information.  Bill comes up with a great idea on how to get them both free by offering up Russell and admitting that they did not kill him.  Sookie has not even realised that both Eric and Bill have gone missing.  And the funniest part of the evening is when Newton comes to Jessica and offers to pay her 10,000.00 $$$$ for Jason.  She bargains it up to 20,000.00 by describing Jason's delectable butt.  Only to them tell him NO I do not sell my Friends.

Looking foward to the next episode....

Fifty Shades of Grey!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is lots of hype about this book.  I must be up front and warm everyone that this is not about Vampires but it is very alluring.  The book is being referred by some as Mommy Porn.  Thus I decided to check it out lord knows I have read several risky and provocative books here recently.  That is how my love of Mr Grey began,  some would say curiosity killed the cat.  I simply loved reading this book.  It was fully of sexual tension, passion desire for the not allowed.  It is dark yet sexy and it makes a girl wonder how much she would be willing to do for the Man that makes her heart skip several beats.  Christian Grey is definitely a bad boy who is extremely rich and powerful.  Seattle's most eligible Bachelor.  Yet he has an extremely dark side, he enjoys BDMS relationships he is the Dominant and he only wants Submissive.  When he meets Anastasia she is 21 years old and still a virigin.  He plans on making her his next Sub.  And this I must say is a concept most people have heard about but really don't know much about.  The book is so descriptive that I often felt shy about reading it.  It was as if I was reading it with one eye shut so I could not see the full picture.  The writer does an excellent job of making you feel as if your were right there with Christan and Ana.  At times I felt like my thoughts mirrored the inner goddess.  Yes I must admit it was just like what Christian said to Ana I will Punish you and F*** you Hard and you will like it and ask for more.  Strong words from a strong character great reading.  R rating for adults only.  I think all women should give into there inner goddess and read Fifty Shades of Grey you will not be disappointed.

TB Episode 502

This episode was def a little lame compared to the last one but I think it is setting up for a great one next week. Tara has turned and is out of control, I am glad she declared at the end that she will never forgive them because for a while I didn't know if she remembered anything from her previous life and was full savage! The dynamic duo are continuing to get themselves out of tough situations and I liked the introduction to the authority members! Cruel punishment and Mr. SUV was surprisingly very good. I think I am liking him in this role. I always love Steve Newland, dancing into Jessica's party was a classic that made me smile. Not too many laugh out loud moments for me but I did smirk at Big E constant smart ass remarks. Of course, I loved him saving Pam and looking forward to getting deeper into their relationship. Where is the whole Alcide thing going? We don't know, I heard him asking about Debbie next episode so we will see how Sookie gets out of this one. And last but not least, one of my fav new characters is Emma's grandma! Classy chic!

                  BTW,  For all your Vampire Hunter fans, this is how I picture Anita Blake! Liking her!

Finished BDB Lover Reborn

Lover Reborn is the 10th book in one our favorite series here at Fanging On, Black Dagger Brotherhood and it does not disappoint! I wasn't too hot of book 9 so I didn't want to get my hopes up but this definitely delivered. It is about our beloved, Thor, whose love interest, spoiler alert, is No'One, Xhex's mama! If you have read the other books, with that plot alone you know that it will be way juicy! Thor is struggling to get on with his life after losing his shellan, Weslie, and in the end all become reborn. Perfect title, perfect ending, as are most of her books. I loved this book because we got to revisit other characters from the other books, John, one of my favs, and we got more from a angel named Lassiter. She leads this wide open for so many more books to come. What will happen with Quinn, Layla and Xcor, I am already really diggin Xcor, as I have a big sore spot for rough necks! Holla! This book was tons of fun, and the author always surprises me and makes me cry. I remember crying at the end of the first book in her series with King Wrath and I did it again in this one. I like how the author is realistic about the difficulties of life and love in a fantasy setting and fangs, biting and more fangs! I want Xcor!
