Whew! Catching up on my reading!

In honor of Halloween, I generally try to buy some kind of book in "honor" of the approaching event. I like vampire books, and of course, witchy books, so there's never any doubt that I'll stop by Barnes and Noble and pick up something from their Halloween table.

So, this year's book is entitled Blood Rose by Sharon Page. And, life being hectic, I didn't get a chance to read it. So, I decided to take it to work to read when we weren't busy. Well, didn't get a chance to do that either, because work has been busy, too.

So, I decided it could be my book to read on my short bus trip to the parking lot.

I found my bus seat and prepared to read a few pages. The critic reviews looked good, as did the critique on the back of the book. I opened it up and began to read:

London, October 18th, 1818

Sex. She wanted sex. But she wanted this anticipation, too. Serena Lark stirred sensuously on the bed enjoying the feel of silky sheets beneath her bare skin.

Okay, that sounds like a promising beginning, doesn't it? After all, I figured it to be a vampire romance novel. And, how interesting that the author brought the sex right to the beginning.

A candle lit the room - it could only be one, for the light was weak and the candle must be close to guttering. Golden light wavered on the wall and danced with the reflections of silvery-blue moonlight.

Serena's hands skimmed her tummy and touched - boldy stroked- her *****, which ached in delightful agony.

WHAT THE F***? I slammed the book closed, and looked at the back of the thing again. Nothing that set off any alarms in my brain. So, I opened it up again and continued on.

More descriptions of the vampire hunters who came into the room. And on page three:

"Miss Lark," He dropped to one knee. "Let us dispense with the pleasantries and begin with the delights." And with that he (CENSORED!!!!!!!)

Oh. My. God. I'm on the bus with coworkers and I'm READING PORN. *giggle* I slammed the book shut and shoved it in my bag. I think I'll quit reading that one on the bus; after all, the trip to the parking lot isn't all that far. But, I was red as could be - you'd have thought I was reading the thing out loud to the passengers!

Hey, it's a pretty good book, actually. I have to admit I would recommend it if you like to read that kind of thing. And yes, I admit it. I like to read that kind of thing. Makes an old girl think she's still alive! *laughs*

But not on the commuter bus!
