PigtailPrincess Posted June 23 Author Report Posted June 23 3 minutes ago, littlegala said: What do you recommend? For another book? Depends on what you generally like honestly. I tend to read more in depth long reads or series with lots of angst and heavy story. Do you have a Goodreads?]

PigtailPrincess Posted June 24 Author Report Posted June 24 @littlegala @Looksee @SquirtleSquad @Aikko Ok so yall know! Starting every Wednesday that week's chapters are free to discuss. This means there wi be spoilers but please only AFTER that week is over! So that means if I have a thought on chapter one then come tomorrow I would be able to post here since that week's reading is done. Obviously if none of us managed to read we can push it back but it looks like we all are keeping up and I havnt assigned a large amount. So if you havnt read that week's chapters be careful popping in here until you have. But it's important that we not pist spoilers until after that assignment is due. If this is confusing let me know!!! I will also continue to check in how i have to see how we are. I also love feedback from yall. Would you like more things to participate in? Feeling the pace is good? Thanks again for jo8ning me on this adventure. We also have our Wednesday chat at 7pm dont forget!!!! 1

Everyone still reading? It’s going great, I’m a pretty fast reader and got a bit excited so I’m a chapter ahead. I’ll have to do better about stopping in the right spot since I’m used to reading without a stopping point! I have been reading another book along with lights out to help me not read it too quickly. I was wondering if you could explain how to do the spoilers. I wanna answer the questions, but I’m not sure how to make a spoiler. Should I just wait to answer them til tomorrow?

Here is your official first assignment. The first three chapters! Due by Wednesday when the next assignment comes out. Please feel free to discuss, post quotes, ect here just make sure you spoil properly and give page numbers like I mentioned. Below I am posting the first set of questions. These are 100% optional so no pressure but I like being a little extra. They do have spoilers so I would answer at the end. Happy reading 📚 Reveal hidden contents Question 1: In the first chapter our female lead very much insinuates that her unusual/violent tastes in the bedroom are a direct result of her job. Do you think this can happen or is common? Or does the job just trigger what a person already wants? Question 2: Our male lead talks a fair bit about his friend Tyler this chapter. Describing alot of his less admiral qualities but following it up with why he appreciates him as a friend. My question is do you think people who are "flawed" lean towards deeply imperfect friendships like we see here? Would you call this friendship healthy? Question 3: Why is it, in your opinion, that some people desire to be watched and some are repulsed by the invasion of privacy? There are so many kinks and I am just curious as to what we think makes this one tick. Here are my responses to the questions this week! I’m really enjoying this book so far, it’s different to what I normally read. I love broaden my book horizons 📚 Spoiler Question 1: In the first chapter our female lead very much insinuates that her unusual/violent tastes in the bedroom are a direct result of her job. Do you think this can happen or is common? Or does the job just trigger what a person already wants? •This is a tough question for me. In my opinion it could happen, especially if you have no idea you’re interested in something you experience at work. However I feel like the lead character did know she had interest in it. She’s just seems to be in denial about it due to the stigma behind enjoying unconventional kinks. Ultimately I believe the job triggered an interest that was already inside her to begin with. Question 2: Our male lead talks a fair bit about his friend Tyler this chapter. Describing alot of his less admiral qualities but following it up with why he appreciates him as a friend. My question is do you think people who are "flawed" lean towards deeply imperfect friendships like we see here? Would you call this friendship healthy? •I feel like people who struggle tend to gravitate more towards others who also have those struggles or in the least understand them. It’s could be healthy, though I don’t think this specific one will be. Question 3: Why is it, in your opinion, that some people desire to be watched and some are repulsed by the invasion of privacy? There are so many kinks and I am just curious as to what we think makes this one tick. •I would guess because society for a long time has instilled in us that sexual acts are something that should be intimate and private. On the other side of that, the taboo can make it exhilarating to partake in such things in public spaces where others will see. 1 1
Looksee Posted June 25 Report Posted June 25 Sorry have I missed the questions? I am reading and enjoying it’s not my usual type of book but I’m liking it
Looksee Posted June 25 Report Posted June 25 Question 2: Spoiler I am not sure what I think about this friendship I can see how on the surface Tyler is not a positive influence (fir want of a better word) however Josh is someone who masturbates on video knowing not who could view it so I would question the morals of Josh also. I think though they sound a fun pair 1
Looksee Posted June 25 Report Posted June 25 Question 3 Spoiler I feel kinks are there to keep things exciting like we don’t just eat to fuel ourselves we add spice and herbs to enhance the flavour. I totally get the voyeur as well as the person being spied on if someone is masturbating to you for me that makes it all the better 1
