Fifty Shades of OMG!

I recently promised myself and a close friend of mine I wouldn't  read this book, because it seemed like it was regarded more as mommy porn then anything else. After the book finding its place on my desk at my office by a friend and colleague i got curious , couldn't be that bad surly and maybe it isn't so bad... WELL!!! Was I in for a shocker!  Let me just tell you it is beyond erotic! I mean sure i can see why every "dick, tom and harry " out there rants and raves over this book and at certain times I had to roll my eyes after a while because I was like wow! Ok! Stop!

At some point its just way to much. I really felt that the story line was there but hidden by all this freakishness going on! I do understand what the hype is about, sure sex sells and i think if you look beyond all of that, its a sweet book about exploring each other , falling in love and letting you guard down.

Though the one thing I noticed and sure EL  James is a Twi-Hard ,  me too and have read the books a billion times (ok maybe not so much,but u get my point) but the fact is , I see alot of Twilight lines creeping up in this book or certain things she describes about how Ana see's Christian...and that bothered me.

However all in all , it was a good ol' read and every girl would love a little bit of 50 Shades of ****ed up!

The World of A Song of Ice and Fire

I know that i have been missing for the last past few weeks. I have a valid reason. 


Though all i can say is, I love the world that George R. R Martin has created for us, one of kings and wars and dragons and the "others" giants, of the famous words of the Starks "Winter is coming" 

I am currently reading  A Storm of Swords part 1 and there is so much more information and so many moments where I'm like "what" "no ways" "seriously". I even had to shed a few tears when Harwin realizes who Arya is and goes down on one knee! 

I'm hooked and love it so much! Have any of you guys started reading A Song of Ice and Fire... If not then now is the time to start! 

Will be giving you a more detailed update once in done, which should be soon! Cant put this book down! 

Exciting news!

It is impossible for me to not be able to post about JK Rowling or Harry Potter. I am and have always been a big fan of her work and have been part of that magical world since i was 14 years old. 

I almost fell off my chair when it was announced that she would be releasing a new book in September , which would have nothing to do with Harry Potter and his magical world. That this would be her first book aimed at Adults... It would make sense seeing that her readers including myself have all grown up. 

It was announced that her new book which is called  The Casual Vacancy   will be released September 27th 2012 in the UK & US. We might have to wait just a little bit longer in here in Johannesburg. 


I'm really excited about this and can hardly wait!  I"m hoping that this might turn into a series of books, I'm not ready for J.K Rowling to put her "pen" down just yet.
Are you a J.K Rowling fan too? Are you looking forward to reading  The Casual Vacancy  ?

You play a part !

As part of this blog , I'm really looking forward to many of the follows interacting with each other , suggesting books and writing reviews on books you have read. About books you have loved and thought were completely not worth spending the cash on… I’ve had a few , they still sitting on my shelf waiting to be read.  


Do you read books more then once and hold onto them, like I do?  Or  do you “pass them down”  I want to hear all about it. 

Looking forward to it! 

Winning!

Today I got an email saying that i won a book called Skulduggery Pleasant: The End of the World by Derek Landy an Irish author who has written 6 book in this series. I've never heard of the Author nor of the books. Though the books seemed to be aimed at the younger reader as well as young adults and it is a short story. I love fantasy and it seems it might be something i might enjoy. Winning a book is awesome and i"ll keep you updated once i start reading it.
