I am very happy to report no one even mentioned 50 Shades at my book club! I knew there was a reason I loved these ladies! lol

[RokofAges75]

Woot!  You must have classier friends than the rest of us! LOL

[mare]

Apparently lol :p

Glad you weren't subjected to hearing all about it at your book club Mare

I'm pleased to say that one of my friends who jumped on the bandwagon and bought the books has actually admitted she doesn't like it! Yay!

[myconfession]

Writers actually have to pay Amazon to have their books put on Kindle and I just don't have the money to do that. Maybe I can borrow some from this chick. Lol yeah, I'm jealous. I admit it. Especially if she sucks as an author as badly as most people say she does.

You don't pay to publish to Kindle on Amazon or any other ebook seller. You can get up to 70% commission on sales. And selling a book for .99 cents or $2.99 adds up after a while.

Okay, so having not read the "Twilight" books because I couldn't get past the first chapter of the first book (but have seen the movies), I freakin' loved all three "50 Shades" books. It kind of had that "this is gonna end badly but I want to keep reading anyway" feel to it. Ana's character annoyed the shit out of me, but Christian Grey was so messed up that it just made me want to keep reading.

From what I read, she did start out with publishing the book herself in e-book form. Then a company wanted to publish it for her.

I honestly can't wait to see how they adapt it to a movie. I'm hoping Ian Somendlanblahb lah (can never remember his last name) plays Christian.

I also want Nick to play Elliott (Christian's brother) LOL

I've seen all over the place that Ian Somerhalder will play Christian in the movie.  He is gorgeous, but I'm not sure anyone could make me part with money to see that film, lol.

[myconfession]

According to the author, they haven't even picked a writer yet, so no one has been casted yet. I know Ian wants to play Christian. Apparently everybody wants Ryan Gosling to play him too and that would just be horrible.

I just hope to God Kristen Stewart doesn't play Ana. She annoys the crap out of me.

[Carter-Orange]

She annoys me too, she never smiles!

[Pengi]

She annoys me too, she never smiles!

The lip biting thing. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD... the LIP BITING. lol I wanna smack her sometimes! OY VEYY!!! lol

I've probably posted this somewhere on the forum before, but if you haven't seen it before... dead-on impression of K-Stew LOL.

LMFAO Unbelievable. That's great!

It kind of had that "this is gonna end badly but I want to keep reading anyway" feel to it.

That was sort of like me. Once I had invested a few chapters I was like "I am GOING to see how this monstrosity ends!" It's sort of like watching Centre Stage. It's terrible, but you still feel compelled to finish watching LOL

That's exactly how I was. I never get into books that are "popular" like Harry Potter, Hunger Games, Twilight, I don't know why, so I felt like the same thing was going to happen to his.

I really did hate the ending of the third book. I felt like it was WAY too rushed and it honestly reminded me of a fan fic that someone just got tired of writing and decided to rush the ending.
