![]() ![]() ![]() That being said, I flew through these novels. (That’s what these types of books are all about, right?!) The Fixed Trilogy, while not as poorly written as the 50 Shades books, (it’s hard to be worse, and I don’t usually say that about another author’s work!) it is similar to the general structure of sexy time novels, as it incorporates ridiculously fast-paced story lines and relatively unrealistic characters and plot points. Of course, the genre didn’t deter me either and I powered through all three books in a single weekend. So, as I went through the New York Times best seller list and randomly selected a few books to take on, I didn’t realize that The Fixed Trilogy was actually a 50 Shades of Grey style sexy time series! Call it what you will: contemporary romance, erotica, or trash and a half, I just like to call it good old fashioned sexy time. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() So, today is the day I’ll explain why that’s the case and to maybe encourage you to pick up The Kite Runner yourself – just in case it has been sitting on your tbr shelf for a while too. The Kite Runner had been sitting on my to-read shelf for a while now, so I picked it up, slowly reading bits and bits until I finally finished it a few days ago being totally speechless and in awe. Unfortunately, I really didn’t have any chance to read anything except for my required school reads but luckily, these times are over now (!) and I can finally get back to reducing my tbr pile and continuing with this year’s reading challenge. I already apologize for my inactivity these last few months. Hello everyone!
