I'll read the summary. Especially since you're usually passionate about the books me and you both find good, so that'll be a maybe now lol
Hello, all. Just thought I'd stop in and post since I was invited and joined and all. Am I a masochistic reader? Well, I read all three Fifty Shades books and hated every minute of it...so that's a big yes. I grew up watching Mystery Science Theater 3000, so I guess I see the point in subjecting myself to things I think are awful. Sometimes I even enjoy it!
So basics; I'm 31, married, have a 13-year-old son, love animals and reading and writing and photography and a boatload of other stuff, and I have a mouth like a sailor, but I can generally keep it under control. I also really like spaghetti.
I'm Sara and I'm Australian and I got invited to this group
Hi my name is Ashley I'm 20 and I'm a new mom so reading is a new found hobby of mine to pass the time away. I like reading all kinds of books but especially ones with deep emotion or a controversial topic so thanks for inviting me.
My name is Fany, 17 years old. I love love love books that are all angst! (: The more heartbreaking the steamier. don't you think? lol
Hello people!!! I'm from Singapore. I'm still in school so I still have homework :( but I always find time to read so that's okay :)

Thank god!! For a moment I thought I was the only one who sees what a hot piece of bad ass Gideon is! I understand what you mean about Christian, he definitely leaves your heart branded.

Hell no! Now there is 2 of us in that club!
Hello. I'm Rachael...32 years old. I have an 11 year old daughter and a wonderful husband. I'm absolutely 100% addicted to reading.....I love all kinds of books but I'm particularly drawn to the more emotional, dark, angsty ones.
Hi all! I'm new here! I can't tell you how happy I was to stumble on to this group. I've only recently come to realize how much I LOVE angst-y emotional books. I love the happy, fluffy ones, too, but the darker books really stick with me for some reason.When I can tear myself away from the Kindle, I am a mom of 4 and wife to one. I can't wait to get to know you all, and get some recommendations!
Hi ladies :) My name is Dee. I love a huge range of books but my all time favorites are angtsy reads w/bad boys ;) If I cant put a book down that's a good sign! I love chatting w/others on books and making new GR friends!

Hi all! I do love a masochistic read so I'm looking forward to some good recommendations from this group. I live in Texas & work in the mental health field. I go by Optimist but my actual name is Kim. Thanks for the invite.

no way gideon is seriously hot so make that three
Male37
Working at home (revision and correction of essays, thesis, papers, etc. in French only)
I wrote 3 BDSM books:
Esclave à l'entraînement
Conseil de discipline
L'enlèvement
and I am writing others. One is finished, but the publisher told me that it will probably be online only in June. :(
Native language: French (so excuse my bad English)
I am bi and SM (mainly masochist, sadist by proxy)
I once had a Master and a Mistress (his wife)
I once had a male and a female slave (separately)
I live now with Paul, my partner since 2002 and I still love him. He is a sub, but not masochistic at all. :(
For my books:
I love thrillers (Stephen Hunter, Robert Crais,...), SciFi (all the books of the old guard as Asimov, Simak, Heinlein, Masterton,...). I have already read books written by Stephen King and by Dan Brown, but I am less fond of them now.
I have read books written by French authors (from France) like Proust, Sartre, Balzac, Camus, De Beauvoir,..., and by Quebeckers like Robert Lalonde, Michel Tremblay, Agnès Guitard, Réjean Ducharme, Louis Hémon, etc.
I love hardcore BDSM stories:
Humiliator
The Good Sadist
The Story of Tol
Master's Dungeon CDE that is a collection of the books of Alex Morgan in the series Master's Dungeon
The 120 Days of Sodom and Other Writings written by Marquis de Sade
...
But I also love softer stories:
Falls Chance Ranch
Above the Dungeon and its sequel: Out of the Dungeon
Power Play: Awakening (I did not like so much the first book of the series: Resistance)
Often, I prefer male BDSM authors like Jack Brighton, Ty Marton, Alex Morgan, Jack Rowan, Kyle Stone, John Preston, David Stein,... Maybe this is because they dare to show their true SM nature more than women. Often, in women's books, the stories are more sentimental. Not that I do not like nice sentiments, but I already have these in my real life. That is why what I am looking for in books is thrill and hardcore BDSM.
But I have read women's books that were really great too. I read lately Bound: Forget me knot. The author is a woman and I still loved it. ;) I hope that there will be a sequel.
nice to meet u Danny. i love ur personal history. i can tell ur a fun person =Dhope u get some good recommends and have lot of fun in the group =)

Thanks!
Any chance your books will be available in English? My French is not good enough to read & understand the nuances sad to say. Thanks for sharing your bio. I saw where you're doing the February Alpha Dom challenge & one of your book options was Dark Soul Vol. 1. Just finished it & the Vol. 2. Edge play so you might like it; heavy mafia theme.
I'll be honest I'm not much into the erotic books. But I do love books like SC Stephen's Thoughtless. Lol I feel left out.
Estefany wrote: "I'll be honest I'm not much into the erotic books. But I do love books like SC Stephen's Thoughtless. Lol I feel left out."Don't be. A masochistic read can be anything from sci-fy to mystery to non-fiction to erotica & all points in between. Just because you're not into romance/erotic novels doesn't mean you're not a masochistic reader. I believe Clarifina mentioned Truth in the invite email which isn't erotic at all. There might be some confusion with the name of this group & its relation to actual BDSM.
hello all, name is Tara. 32 and a mil spouse currently living in Germany, but only for another 5 weeks, then we move to the US. I'm a contemporary Lit major. So I tend to read a little of everything but really appreciate a good controversial read.

Welcome Danny!!! So nice to meet you. :) I will definitely have to check out all of those books being a fan of BDSM books myself. Although I actually like the sentiments in women BDSM novels...

Well, since since I've already slipped a toe or two into the water, I guess it's time to swim!
I'm Jen, age 41, from Montreal, Canada. E-books and audiobooks have brought me back to reading for pleasure (I was a voracious reader as a child, always had my nose in a book or magazine).
I like stories that teach you something about yourself, tales that have a deeper meaning beyond the mundane requirements of plot, and narratives that put character development at the centre of the world the author has created.
i dislike long descriptive passages (especially about the weather!), plot twists that make no sense or seem to wrap things up in a nice little bow, and characters who don't grow or learn at all, or who seem to move artificially in directions imposed by other characters or by the author. I'm currently experimenting with a series (Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan) in an effort to try something completely new. I also tend to have multiple books on the go simultaneously (which drives my colleagues crazy!)
I look forward to great conversations :)

Hope does not hurt.
There is a nice little snow falling here right (Canada) now and I have my Kindle device with about a million books to read. So I can wait a little more. ;)
Snow is infinitely better than the -40 temps we've been experiencing...brrr!

AH! I loved Beautiful Disaster! I'm definitely anxiously awaiting the release of Walking Disaster! I seriously feel like I'm dying.

It's 75 & humid as can be here (Texas). I'm so jealous.
@Jennifer-not jealous. At all. Where the hell are you Antarctica? -40????
Montreal, Canada. I don't blame you for not envying us our glacial climate. We were very spoiled by a string of mild winters (slightly above 0) and this year we're being punished for our sins.

We have been known to boo Justin Bieber *shock and awe*

Why not exchanging our places for some time? I'd like to play with cow boys. ;)
Danny wrote: "Why not exchanging our places for some time? I'd like to play with cow boys."LOL! I'm sure I can rustle up a couple for you to play with. I'll just arrange them on loungers around the pool for you to choose from. ;)
@Jennifer-uh, you got Keanu Reeves, Chuck Hughes & Neil Young. I'll be driven up a wall & back by any of those. Every day of the week & twice on Sundays.
