So just as I'm straying dangerously close to being on trend in my reading and finishing The Hunger Games trilogy another series leaps out of the blue to claim the top spot, and capture the reading public's imagination. The Fifty Shades trilogy is apparently all the rage in America at the moment and, having just researched the books, I can safely say there is more sex in the synopses of these books than there is in Suzanne Collins's entire trilogy - never have I seen the word 'erotic' used so many times to describe a book! Everything else on the list looks rather tame in comparison, except The Blood Sugar Solution of course; haemo-health always sexy.
