Now that the holiday shopping season is ended, time to find some soul satisfying gifts for yourself. Where to start? Check out Amazon.com's list of best selling Erotica, continuously updated to reflect new releases (so bookmark it!).
Looking specifically for top selling French erotice, or vampire stories? Victorian erotica or Gay and Lesbian stories? Find the list on the UK site, but make sure you return to the US Amazon.com site here to complete your purchase from a US shipper and not pay for international shipping on those tales!
In 50 Shades of Grey Ana takes notice of Christian's elegant Omega wristwatch. Although she does not give specifics on the model, she gives enough information for watch enthusiasts to speculate as to which model Omega watch the fictional character favors.
I love the look of this watch, and my own husband who has been eying Omegas for years agreed that this might be the best looking, most versatile one for a man who has to get dressed for work but still wants a sporty but elegant watch. I'll put it on his wish list for the holidays this year, as long as he puts this one on his list for me. It's not the solid platinum watch that EL James describes in her book (and watch enthusiasts claim does not exist), but it will do! I think Omega watches may experience a lift this holiday season.
Noticing a trend here? I think erotica has fully infiltrated the Romance section. And just in time for "National Read a Book Day", which is today, September 6th.
From what I hear, it is the next 50 Shades of Grey. The steamy story of two abuse survivors forging a romantic (and of course, sexual) relationship - this single volume story has potential to morph into a full blown series a la 50 Shade.
The fact that this book already has 988 customer reviews on Amazon.com and 4 out of 5 stars looks promising. I can't wait to get my copy. Get yours here, and let me know if you have read it and what you think.
This morning, Hoda and Kathy were talking about an increase in rope sales possibly tied to the popularity of the 50 Shades series. I have a prediction of my own for this Father's Day - sales of silver ties will be through the roof.
What is more classic than buying dad a tie for Father's day? A silver tie might raise a few eyebrows (do they or don't they?) and might signal to dad that mom is ready to bring him into the fold of true 50 Shades fans. Just saying...
But if you are going to go for the rope for Dad this year, PLEASE don't go to Home Depot! Here are some more appropriate options that will increase the fun factor and eliminate the rope burn!
I have been looking at the stats for my blog and could not help but notice that just about every person who landed here from a search engine was looking for the same thing. Ben Wa balls - also known as Geisha balls.
In two of the most titillating scenes of the first book of the series, Anastasia and Christian play with these balls which have their origins in Asia and may be some of the oldest sex toys known to man.
In Anastasia's first encounter with Ben Wa balls, Christian inserts them during foreplay and spanks her while the balls are inside of her, creating extreme sensation in the still innocent Anastasia. In their next encounter with the Ben Wa balls, Christian asks Anastasia to wear them during a charity dinner given by his mother. This leads to a heightened state of arousal during the dinner scene which ends in a shattering climax in the restroom.
In the book, the Ben Wa balls are on of Anastasias favorite toys. And not surprisingly, sales of this sex toy have gone through the roof since the book's publication. When I went to order my own pair I found them almost sold out everywhere I looked online.
Here are a few pairs available now online. I just placed an order for a pair of my own!
Ok, so I know people are reading this and looking for these balls. So please, leave me a comment, or even better - a product review. I want to know what I am in for when mine arrive later this week!
My Mother-in-law told me about this skit the other day, believe it or not. Since we missed Saturday Night Live I had to find it on YouTube. Hysterical. Take a look.
It really makes me think that the 50 Shades trilogy is probably THE best thing to happen to the Kindle. A mommy friend of mine who is a big fan of the books got a Kindle for Mother's Day. But she has already read the entire trilogy. So now what use should she put her new Kindle to?
I just had to put together a list for her of some books to read on her brand new Kindle that she would be equally enthralled with.
The Sleeping Beauty Trilogy
Written by Ann Rice as A.N. Roquelaure, this is an erotic retelling of the classic fairytale. Instead of living happily ever after, Sleeping Beauty finds herself in all kinds of erotic, BDSM situations... Highly acclaimed by those in-the-know, this is the next step for you if you are looking to dive into another trilogy.
The Story of O
First published anonymously in 1954(!) this classic tale of one young woman's descent into the dark world of BDSM is a must read. Included on "Banned Book" lists around the world, I felt a need to read this when I was still in High School to find out just why it was banned. Oh my. Definitely a shocker, even for those who have read the 50 Shades series.
Liberating Lacey
By Anne Calhoun, a well known contemporary writer of erotic fiction, this is a great book for someone looking for a real-life story line along with their erotica - but not the commitment of a 3 book series.
Let me know your picks, and what everyone is reading now on their Mother's Day Kindles and Nooks!
below. It has a sporty style with 3 subdials and a slim profile which works well under shirt cuffs and suit jackets.
