SGoM October 2014: BDSM
I'm in for this one too! I wasn't expecting two SGOMs this month! I'll be reading
,
, and
for sure, adding in
if I get a chance.
Yeah, the two SGoM stayed tied though-out the month, so a couple of us Mods changed our votes... and then thought, "Why not have two, for a change?"
So if I'm understanding this correctly, are we suppsed to pick a book from one of these SGOM groups and then post on this thread what we think of the book?

Yep I'd heard that before and I've heard many different versions . In Iran they pull the other person's hair if you say the same thing at the same time . I don't know why !

I'm not much of a BDSM fan although I did just read
, which is very light BDSM and it was pretty good. If anyone has recommendations for light (and I mean very light) books, I'll see if I can fit one in. Otherwise, I'll stick to the other SGOM.

I usually avoid books tagged as BDSM, but found a couple that look good on www.allromanceebooks.com. I haven't tried Joey W. Hill yet, and am leery of Ellora's Cave as a publisher right now after hearing that some authors have not been paid appropriately and they have engaged in a lawsuit to shut up a romance review blogger who posted about problems. However, I may go for a freebie, or check to see if I already own one of hers.

I think I found something I can read for this (and it fits some other challenges which is a bonus). Like some others have mentioned, I'm pretty light on what I like on the BDSM scale. I'm good with the B, a little bit of the D and not much on the SM. I was going to try Joey Hill because I always hear good things but then the whole EC thing hit the fan. I'm a fan of the DA blog so I really don't want to give them money right now.
But then I found
on one of the lists. Doesn't seem too heavy, has good reviews in general, not an EC book and I picked it up as a freebie at some point. So, looks like I'm in for this one too.

It does!! I've heard good things about it! I suck at buddy reads but let me know if you're interested.

I'm good wi..."Karen, Backstage Pass is a favorite of mine! The author has two other series, both of which center around rock bands, though her Exodus End series isn't released yet. If you continue on with the Sinners, be aware that they were published out of order, and what is listed as book three really isn't book three, but book five.

I think I'll be going with
- I've read quite a few Lora Leigh books and she is the right level for me.
Lauren wrote: "I think I'll be going with

I finished my first read for the month today: Wrapped Around Your Finger. It was actually very good! It took a complete novice and introduced her very gently into the BDSM scene. It was short, but didn't feel that you were missing anything from it. I want to find more by this author!

If I was buying it now, I'd hesitate, due to the Ellora's Cave Lawsuit nonsense that's going on right now, but I had bought it prior to learning of that.
I also found out there is a sequel to it, but it is priced at over $7, and I don't like spending that much for a Kindle book, so because of the lawsuit and outrageous price, I'm holding off on it for now.
