Fifty Shades

I was so innocent. I was just working. I was reading. I was following S on her RobStenation blog. And suddenly I came across this post

Kristen talks 'Fifty Shades of Grey' - From Entertainment Weekly

I had to know what it was all about.

O M G.

I ended up google it. And started reading. Once started, I couldn't stop. I started reading it right in the evening right after work. I ended up reading it through the night. The same night my husband and my bigger, 4 years old, son had to travel out of the country for 3 weeks. The same night I was supposed to pack for him. Given the clue it was "'Edward and Bella' are now Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele." I thought it had something to do with vampires. But I was dead wrong. It wasn't. And the surprise kept me reading.

Fifty Shades of Grey

I had a pause to sleep for 1 hour before I woke up to pack. Lucky my understanding husband wasn't mad because I, at least, have done my part. My son won't need anything. All his stuffs were all in the suitcase and carry on. Then I drove them to the airport. Came home and read again. I finished the book in the afternoon, all sleep deprived. I haven't had this feeling to stay up all night and read since Twilight series.

And, oh no, the surprise didn't end. I thought if I would just give it time and finish and be done, and I would gain my life back. But no,.... I read through those 528 pages to come to "End of Part 1".


*****serious jaw dropped right there*****

I had no idea I just got myself into another trilogy. Ah, man, sleepless nights, less appetite, busy schedule, trying to read in between working and taking care of the younger 2 years old boy, I lost 2 kg of weight at the end of the trilogy. I got to finish the last book, Fifty Shades Freed one week later, when I was on the plane with my little boy to reunite with the rest of my family. Ah.... what a memory. Still feel quite fresh like it was yesterday.
