What is your favorite (reading) guilty pleasure?

papagena · June 2011

Any summer reads that you'd hide in a classy looking book jacket just so that hawt, hunky EPA scientist the next beach towel over won't see? Any long time favorites that you go back to, but don't want to admit?

Well, this isn't really juicy but I could read Stephen King books over and over.

lovelylinz · June 2011

I usually check out inspirational novels from the library, but I like to throw in a raunchy pirate romance novel when no one is looking... Embarrassed

kdello · June 2011

Pillars of the Earth. Seriously. It's like literature and smut had a love-child-book.

I used to LOVE the Heralds of Valdamar series by Mercedes Lackey - I tried to read them again - yeah, not so much... Ah well.

Lotte134 · June 2011

Trashy romance by Johanna Lindsey or anything by L.M. Montgomery (who wrote Anne of Green Gables, etc...) - not together though cause that would be weird.

I used to like Stephen King, and even more - that other guy who writes the same sort of genre, but a tad tamer... Forget his name,though

Lotte - have you read the LM Montgomery book, The Blue Castle? I have read the cover litteraly off that one!

I always throw in a romance novel that looks hot just from the cover whenever I go to the library along with the normal Harlen Coben or whatever. Then as I read it at my desk at work I wonder if I am blushing when I get to the good parts.

I have read Pride and Prejudice approximately 3214631 times.

I do love me a good YA novel, though.

ps- this is one really good advantage to e-readers, no one can see your book cover. Read all the smut you want!

The Twilight series. Edward rocks my world. ::Rawr::

It wasn't until the revelation that you didn't need light to read an e-reader.... that made me want one! That said, I love using the paperback swap website, and until they have something like that, I probably wouldn't have a ton to read on there! Except for library books, of course.

There are tons of lending groups all across the fine interwebs if you have a nook :P

Really? How do they work - are they just individual to individual?

shaunna&chad · June 2011

Harry Potter, and the Twilight series... I also appreciate of good cheesy romance occasionally :-)

Yep, you post your list of lendable books, other people post theirs, and then you lend and borrow. On the nook, it is all done through email and you have two weeks to read the book before it goes back to the owner.

Same with Kindle. My bf has lent me 4 books already.

Neat - thanks for letting me know! Hmmm...

Me too! Literally as well! It's one of my favorite books of all time along with her Emily series. So funny - it's obscure enough that I rarely meet anyone who's heard of it.

Yes Have you ever read Christy? It was another book I read around the same time that I got a bit obsessed with. Somewhat similar in certain ways.

I have. I should reread it, it's been years. It's definitely a good book. Thanks for the reminder!

I had totally forgotten about Christy! I think it's in my parents' attic. I loved that book, and loved the movie with Kellie Martin!

Oh, my friend, it wasn't a movie! It was a short running TV series! I was so excited when it came on. Couldn't compare to the book, but I enjoyed it for awhile.

and Yes to both you and Lotte!!

Ooooo - Fuller needs to fly up here, we can rent a really snazzy hotel room and watch the series over a weekend!!!! (file under things that would be utterly fabulous, even if they can't happen!)
