Book club update: 50 Shades of Grey

I know it has been a hot minute since we updated you about our book club, but don’t take that silence as failure. Much like Beyonce, Ladies (insert current season here) Book Club is a fabulous, sparkling, beautiful success – not to mention one helluva dancer. Since our inaugural meeting in June, we have made it through 15 books, a hockey game, a brunch, an ornament/cookie exchange, and countless wedges of brie and bottles of bubbles.

In an attempt to get my parents to stop asking me when I am going to update our blog, I am going to roll out a series of book club update posts (yay!). First up: 50 Shades of Grey. This was a controversial choice, but the the popularity of this book spiked our curiosity. While the consensus was the book was complete and utter trash, most of has had a good time reading it and discussing it, mostly because of these bomb discussion questions.

Have you read it? Did you love it/hate it/get super grossed out by it?

Book Club Discussion Questions

Throughout the book, Ana embarks on a whole new adventure in her life, sexually and romantically. As a little icebreaker, we will open up our own sex novels and start out with a little game of ‘never have I ever.’ Be prepared with at least 4 “Never have I ever’s”… and yes, you lushes, there will be drinking involved (duh).

Never have I ever

Christian tilters on the line between total sweetheart romantic boyfriend and complete stalker in the tale. Has a boyfriend ever shown his psychopath side? Have you? Please provide examples of both.

Rumors are floating around of the making of a 50 movie (eeeeeeeek) and consequently, so are rumors of who will play the ever so dashing Mr. Grey. Opinions please ladies. (Be prepared with Google images ready on your phone as well, as this can easily turn into a heated debate).

What were your feelings on the end of the book? What do you think will happen in the next book? How do you think the series will end? Do you plan to continue?

That’s all…. for now.

Laters, baby.

  1. From a nagging parent…from our perspective looking at your blog is a kind of a payoff as it shows us from a different perspective that we have raised bright, articulate children that have moved on into adulthood and are still learning, communicating, and embracing the technology of the day to do so. After 20+ years of trying to do the best we could to raise you pups, viewing your blog verifies at least for me that you were paying attention along the way, and turned into honest, caring, positive people that get it.
    Blog on you Birds, it is more therapeutic than you can imagine……just sayin
