Re: Fifty Shades of Grey - E L James
I read an article that said the sales of rope, tiewraps and tapes (gaffer/masking) had gone up by a lot in the past 2 months and that sales in sex shops also had an increase. There had also been a Fifty Shades workshop which had proved very popular. So it all has a knock on effect!
Kevin was even talking about the books with 3 ladies he was driving yesterday......not in detail I trust as he hasn't actually read it! And even buying a new washing line proves to be a matter of raised eyebrows, so I found the other day..........

Re: Fifty Shades of Grey - E L James
After hearing all the hype at work about this book ive just put it on hold at my library before checking the reviews out on here.
Im queue position 97 at the library and after reading the reviews on here i dont think its going to be worth the wait. We shall see!!
Currently reading: The Captain's Daughter - Leah Fleming
Books read in 2012: 8 Target: 30 (I need to get my thumb out)

The book might not be fit to read by the time it comes round to you once 96 people in front of you have read it.
Mr Grey I don't mind at all if Henry Cavill plays you.

Re: Fifty Shades of Grey - E L James
I laughed today at my reading group. The lovely library lady that runs it said 'People keep coming in asking for that book with grey in the title' She was completely mystified as to why. We explained. She said 'Ooh, I might go the WH Smith in my lunchbreak and see if I can get a copy!'
