Mailbox Monday (2)

I'm back this week participating in Mailbox Monday! It was originally started by Marcia at The Printed Page and each month is hosted by a different blogger. This month's host is Martha at Martha's Bookshelf. Beware because Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists. Let's get to the books!
Mailbox Monday
Purchased
Fifty Shades of Grey, Fifty Shades Darker, and Fifty Shades Freed by E L James
Yes, I finally gave in and jumped on the bandwagon. These aren't the type of books I normally read, but with EVERYONE reading them I feel like I have to now so I can form my own opinion. Plus since they're working on a movie, I obviously have to read them before the movie comes out.

Have you given into the Shades of Grey hype yet? And what's in your mailbox this week?

  1. I have read them. I did love them. I probably won't watch the movies. I don't trust Hollywood to get the safer-sex part right, and it will make me suuuuper cranky!

  2. I am still debating whether or not I want to read these. I can't wait to see what you think of them.

  3. I tried to read these and I just couldn't do it. And it wasn't even the naughty parts that I couldn't get through. They are not written well, and I am not really a snob or anything, but I was expecting more from the writing. They have a lot of potential, but it was hard to get into them when the writing is just terrible. Maybe you can get through them. I am also a new follower of your blog!

  4. Have fun with fifty shades. I have read them, didn't hate them, they are fun for what they are. I don't know if I'd see the movie - I guess it depends who is cast.
    Hope you enjoy the books!

  5. I haven't read it it. It's mommy porn so yes I admit I look down on it buy my mommy loved the first one *facepalm* and with her birthday being on Tuesday I ordered for her the soon to be released box set.

  11. Nice! I have not hopped on board yet. I believe I am down to number 500 on the library's waiting list for the first book though. I will get there eventually.
    Happy reading,

  16. I tried but I CANNOT get through the first one. I actually find it really boring and the relationship annoys me. Apparently the second one is better though.
