Around the Year in 52 Books discussion

- What are you reading this week?
Wool: The Graphic Novel
- What made you embarrassed to read this?
Its a comic book for heaven sakes. My serious book reading friends would give me the evil eye.
- Do you have any other guilty pleasures?
This was not a guilty pleasure, just a mistake because I needed to find a book I would be embarrassed to read in public. Problem is I could not even read it in private. If I were to read a comic book, there are plenty better than this. I'm just wondering what Wool by Hugh Howey (non graphic) is any better.

Kushiel's Dart by Jacqueline Carey

Romance + Fantasy + BDSM Prostitution and that cover art...

So glad I own a Kindle so I can hide my shame.

- Do you have any other guilty pleasures?

I embrace my pleasures with no guilt. That said, I often read books from which I garner no pleasure. Perhaps I am the one who is into BDSM?

Progress Post:

Winter Heat: Six sizzling fun-size chick lit stories

I wasn't really embarrassed but these are hot sexy little stories so some people may be embarrassed.

Romance novels. Love to just indulge in a happily ever after sometimes.

- What are you reading this week?
Fifty Shades of Grey

- What made you embarrassed to read this?
Just the fact that it is well known as women's porn, and the fact it has received some pretty lamentable reviews ... But after years of saying I would never read it it seemed the perfect choice for this challenge category.

- Do you have any other guilty pleasures?
Oh my! I would have to say chocolate .. Though it doesn't make me feel that guilty!! :-)

- What are you reading this week?
Shopaholic to the Rescue by Sophie Kinsella
- What made you embarrassed to read this?
In general this was a hard category for me because I read everything on my kindle or listen to it on audio so I'm not really too embarassed to read anything. Who would know? But this series has gotten really, really bad and the fact that I'm a completest and must finish it does make me a little... grrr... especially because the one time I was reading and a cute guy asked me what I was reading? It was this. But in the spirit of the challenge I confessed to what I was reading and about the challenge and he said for him it would be Twilight and we had a whole conversation about that. So there you go.
- Do you have any other guilty pleasures?
Fanfic? But again? It isn't like anybody can tell so who cares?

- What are you reading this week? I Didn't Come Here to Make Friends: Confessions of a Reality Show Villain (thanks you to Kelly above for the idea)
- What made you embarrassed to read this? It is written by and about someone who was on the bachelor tv show.
- Do you have any other guilty pleasures? Reality TV - married at first sight is a current favorite.

I have now shuffled my reading choices and kicked (or should that be whipped??) the first Fifty Shades book into the category of "First book in a new to me series" .. So I am now reading Fifty Shades Darker for this category .. Oh my!

- What are you reading this week? A Case of Kiss and Tell by Katherine Garbera / The Reluctant Heiress by Sara Orwig

- Do you have any other guilty pleasures? Nope, not really.

What are you reading this week? Foxing the Geese: A Regency Romance
- What made you embarrassed to read this? I'm always embarrassed to read romance novels in public so since I had the day off yesterday, I read this in the comfort of my living room. The title was intriguing, the book nut so much.
- Do you have any other guilty pleasures? Ice cream. I needed it yesterday to make this book more enjoyable, lol.

- What are you reading this week? Sin and Desire - in public on the train, but luckily on my kindle

- What made you embarrassed to read this? It's a book of short stories revolved around sex. Erotica at it's finest. It's not really my genre and I'm only reading it for the challenge. I've started it and it's pretty average.

- Do you have any other guilty pleasures? Not really.

The Coregasm Workout: The Revolutionary Method for Better Sex Through Exercise

The title is enough to be embarrassing in public. I have two teens at home that may be upset to see it on our shelf too. ;)

Do you have any other guilty pleasures?
The only one I am willing to mention is chocolate. :D

- What are you reading this week?
This week I am reading The Smartest Guys in the Room: The Amazing Rise and Scandalous Fall of Enron by Bethany McLean.

- What made you embarrassed to read this?
I may as well wear a big badge that says "I am a dullard". To be fair, having started it, it is dull even for the financially-minded. I think it only gets exciting when things really start going down the pan.

- Do you have any other guilty pleasures?
I have contemplated reading Fifty Shades of Grey but my mother-in-law has read it and has said she wants to discuss it with me once I have read it. So I shall never read it! There's a conversation I need like a hole in the head.

What are you reading this week? Eligible

- What made you embarrassed to read this?
It's chic lit and some would call it embarrassing.

Hallmark channel movies and Bachelor in Paradise (although I don't watch the Bachelor so its kinda hard to watch). And anything that is against my diet.

- What are you reading this week? Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Parts 1 & 2 - as a joker

I am not embarassed to read anything. I would be embarassed to read for example Fifty Shades of Grey, but I am not reading that in a million years.

- Do you have any other guilty pleasures? Not really.

What are you reading this week? I Love Dick, by Chris Kraus

What made you embarrassed to read this? Well, duh, the double entendre of the title, of course! This epistolary novel doesn't really have to do with "the dirty thing". Instead, the main character - and her husband - are really obsessed with a guy named Dick. So they (and especially she) loves Dick.

Do you have any other guilty pleasures? I love reading Us Magazine and enjoy reading blind gossip columns/apps that are mainly about celebrities and other public figures.
