Feature & Follow #9: Permission to Rant

The Feature & Follow is hosted by TWO hosts, Parajunkee of Parajunkee’s View and Alison of Alison Can Read. Each host will have their own Feature Blog and this way it’ll allow us to show off more new blogs!


Tell us about a book that you didn’t like and why we shouldn’t read it…nicely.

  I was a slacker and missed last week's FF because life likes to take over. It's a pesky bitch. Anyway, I am so ready for this week's FF! Bring it on!

  First up, I have a really sore spot about abusive book boyfriends. I was in an emotionally abusive relationship. It ruined me for awhile. Whenever you're actually living it, it isn't sexy. It's terrifying. Yesterday, I did a review on a book (Forgiven by Rebecca Brooke) that really got under my skin with an over the top abusive asshole. You can click here to read my rant-y review.

  That brings us to my second book for this list. Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James. If it's kinky sex you like, do your thing. But Fifty Shades is not the way real BDSM relationships are handled. (If you are interested in BDSM, go here instead of reading FSoG.) Christian even admits that he wants to hurt Ana. No. Shut the front door. I'm not an erotica fan. I think I'm still too childish for them, because most of the sex scenes seem so awkward that I laugh. But I promise if you're looking for some steamy scenes, you can find better than this book. We won't even talk about the whole fanfic controversy. Or the inner goddess. Or the lip biting. Or the tampon scene.

  And now we're almost finished! The end is nigh! No one is going to be surprised that I'm wrapping this up with the Twilight Series by Stephenie Meyer. Instead of boring you with more ranting, I'll let Rob Pattinson do the talking for me.

My version of how things should have went with Twilight? Easy. This:
