The continuation of the trilogy has arrived... now I just have to finish reading what I've already got going and then I can plunge into these. Thanks so much for sending and making available!

Well, I didn't hate this like some other Goodread readers (and bookcrossing buddies) have... but I did find this one long and drawn out. It didn't strike me as particularly hot, rather a bit repetitive. Much of what irritated me in the first (the tinkerbell of an inner goddess, flitting around and cheerleading versus the ghost of guilty conscience past pouting and sulking)is still here in the second, but I'm afraid much of what drew me through the book was not in evidence here. Will read the third and send them on together. Glad to have the opportunity to read these as a spiral. Thanks!

So sorry it took so long for me to get these back on the road! I'm so grateful I could read these as a spiral - I enjoyed them on a certain level, but as they are not keepers for me, I'm happy to send them on. These are headed to the UK.

Liked this one a little more than the first book, a bit more drama and not all about the sex lol!
Sending it on its way now up north :)

Travel well little book!
It's here! I'm in demand this week. I received another book spiral yesterday. Before I can read that one or this one I will have to finish a book I'm reading for my secret santa. It's going to an international country and the last date of posting is coming up soon. That's the plan, finish book for secret santa first, then read this spiral book and my other spiral book simultaneously. :)
Enjoyed this very much. I'm definitely being educated in and out of the playroom. The best bits for me come in the form of the email exchanges between Ana and Christian. You don't have to deal with her inner goddess, her thoughts on how she feels or how she sees Christian reacting, just fun banter back and forth.
Looking forward to the next. :)

Sorry, just realised I hadn't journalled this one. It arrived last week and I'm starting it now.

Sorry for taking so long to journal this. Trying to use this website on my phone was driving me mad so I've had to wait until I was back at work.
I am surprised how much I'm enjoying these books. They are not cover to cover sex which was the impression I was getting when they were first in the news. Like Ythan I really like the emails and the changing signatures at the bottom. They amuse me.

On its way in the spiral.
Sorry about not journaling these books when they arrived, but I wasn´t able to use my computer! :(
I definitely enjoyed this book better than the 1st. I love all the email exchanges, but I really think all 3 books could have been condensed into one without losing much!
Sending on to ababaigalit.

Traveling again! ;)
Well the book is here in Israel and I started reading it.
Got to Portugal today, I still have a couple of rings ahead but will read this one quickly.
This book had a lot more drama and was a bit more thrilling than the first one, which made me stay awake a couple of nights trying to finish it. ~
As I received both books at the same time and have already started the last one I'll send them together to sedna as soon as possible.
Thanks for sharing! Who's going to watch the movie?

The book arrived. Thanks Rrrcaron for sharing and QueenSissi for sending.
It's getting a little repetitive, especially the sex scenes.

The book is travelling on it's own again to Canada. As Ametisti asked to be skipped and chelsxo apparently being inactive, the book is on it's way to carelaisa in Canada.
The book got here today! I should start it in the coming days...
Thanks Rrrcaron for sharing and sedna5213 for sending it my way.

Well, I can say it’s better written than the 1st novel in the trilogy. But can I say it’s one of the best one ever written? No, it’s not. I still think it’s Twilight high on sex – ticks that Edward and Bella are found in Christian and Ana. The goal of this book is solely to entertain – definitely not to read for its prose and overall message. Only one book to read but I can almost say it right away – there was no need for 3 books, 2 would have sufficed.
Will pm the next bcer and mail the book, hopefully, in the coming days!
EDIT: the book is now travelling to the next reader as of Nov 19th!

I had a hard time getting interested in this book. Let's blame it on the crazy, busy holiday season. About half-way in, I was pretty hooked. This book had so much more story than the previous one and it left me wanting to start book 3. I should be able to get this in the mail just after the first of the year.
Angelmommyof3 is no longer interested. I have pm'd jennyc1230.
12/31/13-1/3/14
Jennyc1230 pm'd that she has already read this book and asked to be skipped. I pm'd mysticalzoe but have not heard back-giving her a few days. After looking at mysticalzoe's bookshelf, it appears that she is inactive-no post since 2012. I have pm'd imawinn2.

Sorry about the delay in journaling this book. It arrived a number of days ago but life has been rather hectic on this end. Anyway, I am still waiting for the arrival of the first book, Fifty Shades of Grey. I have been in contact with the person who has it and they said that they will be sending it to me. So it will be a while before I am able to read this one. Thanks for sharing your books with us Rrrcaron and thanks for sending Fifty Shades Darker to me southernfryed.
A little more meat to this one than the first book of E.L. James Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy. There is actually more of a plot. I found myself enjoying Fifty Shades Darker and found it less "Penthouse style". You know what I mean? When I started reading Fifty Shades of Grey, I kept thinking about those stories readers wrote and submitted to Penthouse that started with, "Dear Penthouse, I'm a college student and I never thought this would happen to me." *smirk* Anyway... In Fifty Shades Darker, author James reveals some more of what makes Christian Grey tick the way he does. The relationship between Christian and Ana becomes more complex and throws Mr. Grey off his familiar track. Still, the reader must endure detailed sex in every other chapter(another *smirk*). However, if one has made it this far in the trilogy, one must endeavor to persevere. ;-)
Sending this book to marriedfairy who is next in line. Happy Travels! Happy Reading!
Hi everyone, I finished the 3rd book last night and will be mailing it off tomorrow. What a twist at the end! WOW !!!! Anyways I will be sending both books the 2nd and 3rd in the same package to Rrrcaron. Thanks for letting me join!!
