I am hoping my kids will be asleep by the time it starts. They have been read to, and tucked into bed with their respective glasses of water..... if only they would pass out.

Ooh ooh! I read it! I read it!

In short, I thought it was pretty great. While I didn't personally get hot and bothered by every single story, I could still appreciate the writing of the ones I wasn't as fond of. And my husband likes this book as well because it resulted in him getting woken up for late night booty on more than one occasion

I am two stories short of completing it. So far I have to say that though some of the stories are good, it is certainly not my favorite so far.

Hmm, it's hard to say specifically which stories inspired the late night wake ups, since I'd read a few in a row, and then pounce. He is also wildly for the idea of more late night wake ups, and now encourages me to read erotica while he goes to sleep and hopes to get woken up, lol.

Hey you two!

I've noticed that most of the books I get sent for this really seem to go that way. I like most of the stories, but there are a few I just can't seem to get into.

Same here. That's why we love the short story collections like these as opposed to full-length erotica novels.

I think if I had to choose one that I thought would be fun to do, it would be from I'm Not a Voyeur. Standing at the window fucking, while watching another couple in their own apartment fucking does sound hot. As hot as a couple of these stories were though, I really didn't find any that GRABBED me.

I'm actually pretty interested in reading one of the full-length books, but I'd have to hunt around a while first to make sure that I'd have a really good shot at liking it.

Hmmm, at least in my fantasies that would. Not sure if I'd be brave enough to really do it. lol

The full-length novel can be a gamble, I've never thought of it like that. We've got Carrie's Story on the list for next month and I've read it and really enjoyed it... but that's getting ahead of myself.. lol

Hence my reluctance in going for a full length novel as of yet. It's a lot easier to skip to the next story than go "oh hey, I don't like this whole book." Although now that I think of it, I guess it is technically easier to just set the whole book down and move on... But I'm rambling now
