I love romance too and I TOTALLY hate when people say you're not smart enough for other kind of books (thriller etc.),just because you prefer romance,so I know what you mean,but anyway I find Chris more "offensive" than Kristen. His face was like "OMG I know everything about that book,I don't wanna even be in the same room as that book".

Ugh, I know…completely over this attitude. It’s not that I loved 50 Shades (see my partial review below) but picked out the dirty bits like school kids and read those. I guess it’s funny to some, but it hits too close to home when the genre is mocked. Anyway, you should totally come off anon so we can talk romance and book recs!

Honestly I don't think she wanted to offend anyone. I would be more offended by Chris who didn't even want to touch the book,but I think that when they do this kind of interviews,they're never serious. Kristen said a few times that she is curious to read it,so I don't think she is disgusted by people who like erotica :)

Oh, I wasn’t thrilled about Chris either! I know what you mean and I respect your opinion :) It’s just whenever anyone insults romance, I feel the need to defend it to my last breath!!

"So Kristin Stewart thinks erotica is gross and its readers “freaks”? Cool, Kristen. That’s real nice." Please tell me you're joking! PLEASE!! She was just sarcastic! I mean,if she's serious people say how boring she is,if she makes sarcams people don't understand it... O__O

I get that people can be misunderstood but I watched the interview and she honestly seemed disgusted. I don’t know, maybe her sarcasm needs a little work. But calling people freaks for their reading taste isn’t the best idea for a joke..

I’ve been reading historical for a while and I want to change it up but I’m not sure where to start! Something with a mystery/thriller/paranormal subplot?
Bonus points if it’s on Amazon Kindle and less than $10 (I’m a poor uni student living abroad).
Thanks in advance,

If you have a look at this blog post, the author is discussing the impact of Fifty Shades of Grey from an agent’s point of view. And I have to agree with them on most points.
What do you think about Fifty Shades of Grey - as a piece of literature or as something that will impact the industry?

Kat at bookthingo and I talk paranormal romance by awesome Aussie authors. Note: I get Keri Arthur’s early publisher wrong: she was with ImaJinn, not Loose ID
