Stacking The Shelves #5: Fifty Shades Trilogy


Stacking The Shelves, hosted by Tynga's Reviews, is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, may it be physical or virtual.
So I finally bought some books I have been dying to read. And if it wasn't for me having to catch up on my review requests, I would be devouring them right now. I can't wait to finally read the notorious Fifty Shades Trilogy. I bought Partials because I am going to a book signing soon that has Dan Wells as one of the authors on a panel.

  1. I assume you're going to a Dark Days tour stop? Me too!! I can't waait to meet Dan Wells. I absolutely **LOVED** Partials! I couldn't put it down!

    I hope you enjoy Fifty Shades of Grey. I personally... really didn't like it. I bought the trilogy just like you did, then I read the first book, and returned the other two.

    It seems to be a love or hate kind of book so I'll be interested to see which side of the spectrum you're on :P

    1. Yup, going to the Dark Days tour. I am so excited to meet Roth and Wells.

      I am a little nervous about Fifty Shades, but I am going to give it a good college try.

    4. That's so cool!! We'll se each other there! :) I don't know if you're allowed to get more than one book signed per author. I assume so. Most of the signings I've been to don't have a limit, or if they do, it's like 2 or 3 books (rather than 1).

      You could always call up and ask though :)

    5. Thanks. I did call. Three dif people didn't know, lol.

  4. I read the first book in the fifty shades trilogy last weekend and really liked it. It seems to be a real love/hate one though. Loads of people have told me how great it is, and the same number of people have told me its rubbish. I personally love christian grey though, and will definitely be reading the other two books.
    I bought partials a couple of weeks ago and it is sitting on my shelf calling to me, I have loads of review books to get through though so it will have to wait a bit longer!
    Oh, you won the signed 'Thorn' book mark on my blog too by the way :) You should be hearing from the author soon :)

    1. I am so happy you liked it. I noticed it seems to be 50-50 if someone likes it more not.

      OMG, I won. Yaaay. Thanks so much.

  6. Man, so jealous about the signing. Very, very few authors come up here. The only reason I've ever had books signed for me because I was out of state lol. Have fun!

    1. LOL, that's sad though. I get messed over when the east coast authors stay east coast for signing tours.

  11. Awesome books this week! Partials was a great read. I really enjoyed it. The 50 Shades series was not bad. The writing was horrible, but Christian Grey is very swoon-worthy, and the sexy time parts are not too shabby! Enjoy the books you got this week :) Happy reading!

  25. Oh I hope you love Fifty Shades! I absolutely adore the series... but I will admit it's not everyone's cup of tea. I still need to look into Partials. I've seen it around, but haven't even read the blurb yet.

  26. Haha, I'm really curious what you'll think about the Fiftys series. I think there are few people who don't have an opinion (regardless of the fact that many of them haven't even READ the books) and it's always funny to see what bookbloggers think. (Though I personally really did not like several parts of the books, and skipped even more..)

  28. Ooooh, I am VERY intrigued to see what you make of Fifty Shades... I'm... err... I downloaded the chapter sample from Amazon, and I just couldn't be bothered... also, Smart Bitches' and Dear Author's reviews convinced me I wasn't interested, but we shall see! A few of my friends have LOVED.

    1. Yeah, I like reading the controversal books. Erotica is not for everyone though. Especailly with bondage type stuff. We shall see if it's too much for me. EEEE! I'm scared. lol.

  29. Boo for Fifty, but I hope you love Partials!
