On your Kindle you'll find three new books by E. L. James, Fifty Shades of Grey, Fifty Shades Darker, and Fifty Shades Freed.
Your assignment is to read the trilogy in order, and make 3 separate posts, one for each book. Each post will detail, discuss, and review an individual book. Your review of book one is to be completed before the end of April, book two by the end of May, and book three by the end of June.

What I love most about the hoopla surrounding "Fifty Shades of Grey" is that the story here isn't really about women getting turned on. It's not even about women desiring more sex with their partners. It's about women sharing information with each other. It's about storytelling and friendships. Women have found something that enhances their emotional and sexual lives and want to pass that knowledge onto their friends, family members, and even the world at large.

Dear Sir,
ReplyDeleteWhile O did give his blessing for mouse to read it, he's forbidden mouse from entering in discussion about it in her vanilla book club.
Looking forward tho, once mouse has the time to read it, to see what all the fuss is about.
Really look forward to read what your serefina has to say!
Hugs,
mouse
Dear Sir, I have also been asked to read the series and to discuss with my Luther upon completion of each book. Not going to quiz me in the traditional sense but to ask me to consider the matter and also how this might improve our marriage.
ReplyDeleteI am married (recently) to my Luther. He is my husband and Lord but at this time we have not entered/explored me being considered anything but his wife. (That doesn't sound right, as if being wife alone was not good enough, I hope you understand my meaning)
I am having a hard time of understanding what my being his slave would entail. Would I lose all sense of self? of being an individual in her own right? Your lovely wife sounds incredibly content and in love, so obviously there can be wonder and love in this type of relationship. May I ask, how did you and she walk the path towards this?
I am having a hard enough time being properly submissive to my dear husband. I still have issues with impulsive behavior and these are some of the reasons, he can get quietly displeased with me. I then become sad that my actions have reflected poorly towards him. Sigh.
Any words of encouragement would be greatly appreciated.
Love, Isabella
Dear Isabella,
DeleteOur path has not been a conventional one. Serafina was not experienced at all with any thing even related to BDSM, so I've had to use great patience as she's grown to understand what it is that I most desire. We started with orgasm control, with Serafina learning to ask permission for orgasms. Also, because we landed in the role of being caregivers, moving slowly in the BDSM aspects of our relationship was not even something that was a choice, it was the only option we had!
Life has to come first.
You both have my best wishes moving forward.
Love and respect,
Michael
