50 shades of confusion...

ok, so admittedly i am a total nerd. my one true hobby that i dont have to force myself to do, (i am so not crafty, but i feel like in order to be a 'good mom' i should be... terrible, i know) is reading. i love to read. i love to get into a great series that will literally make me sad when its over.

naturally i go through books pretty quickly, especially now that i have my awesome kindle- totally recommend to anyone that enjoys reading btw. so i buy books through amazon when i get suggestions online, from friends, and wherever i happen to hear that theres a good book. a recent purchase was spawned from a radio show. i didnt catch the entire story because lets face it, im a mom... rarely do i get to fully pay attention to anything other than my children. all i really heard was that there was some big stir about this book called '50 shades of grey.' so i jump onto amazon real quick and have it sent to my kindle before i forget about it. i actually thought that they were talking about a book high schoolers were reading that parents were having a problem with... after starting the book, i am positive that i made all of that up in my head.

fast forward a bit, i finally finish 'the shack,' -did not enjoy. i start scrolling through my unread titles and remember the '50 shades' books. i absolutely have no idea what its about and i start reading...

it is not at all what i expected. theres a virgin fantasizing about some dude, some dirty making out in an elevator, and a lot of s & m... im a little confused because you remember i thought this was a high school recommended reading, and after doing a bit of research it is obvious that i am currently reading an erotic novel. hilarious. i have never read an erotic novel before and really the closest ive ever come to reading a romance novel would be twilight. 50 shades of grey

above is what the news has to say about this current erotic novel trend in book clubs across the us.

im going to finish the book because i hate not finishing a story unless i absolutely hate it, but i do feel a bit embarrassed reading it. especially since i do most of my reading while nursing my baby... maybe ill shelf it for awhile, or at least read something else during baby time.

long story short, for all you ladies out there that want the dirtier, more adult scenes that you didnt get in twilight, '50 shades of grey' is definitely for you.
