Throwback Thursday – Fifty Shades of Grey by @E_L_James

 

So yes, today is Throwback Thursday.  But, it is also the day we get to finally see the trailer for the upcoming, I can’t wait to see, movie adaptation of the book Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James.

Here it is!  View the trailer here.

Excited….Yes!  My very own inner goddess is doing the happy dance!

I decided that my Throwback Thursday post should be in honor of Christian Grey.

I picked out some of my favorite lines from the first book in the series, Fifty Shades of Grey.

 

Enjoy!

Some of My Favorite Lines!  

 

“I am going to have coffee with Christian Grey… and I hate coffee.”

“We aim to please Miss Steele”

“What is it about elevators?”

“I want you sore, baby,” he murmurs, and he continues his sweet, leisurely torment, backward, forward. “Every time you move tomorrow, I want you to be reminded that I’ve been here. Only me. You are mine.”

“Are you smirking at me, Mr. Grey?” I ask sweetly. Pompous ass.”

“Inside me! I gasp, and all the muscles deep in my belly clench. My inner goddess is doing the dance of the seven veils.”

 

“Why does he have such an unnerving effect on me? His over-whelming good looks maybe? The way his eyes blaze at me? The way he strokes his index finger against his lower lip? I wish he’d stop doing that.”

 

“I’ve never wanted more, until I met you.”

 

“Who’s he kidding? He’s no gentleman. He has my panties”

 

“You have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince”

I can’t wait for February 2015!

Which Songs Remind You of Books or Characters?

Are there songs that make you think of certain books or characters when you hear them?

 

The first song I heard when I got in the car today was “Sex On Fire“ by Kings of Leon.  I immediately thought of Christian Grey. Oh Mr. Grey,  I think it is time to reread The Fifty Shades of Grey Series by E.L. James.

 

 

Whenever I listen to “Iris“ by The Goo Goo Dolls I have Remington Tate from Real, Mine and Remy by Katy Evans on my mind. It is such a perfect song for such a fantastic series.

 

 

My mother was recently humming “Besame Mucho” and my thoughts immediately went to Professor Gabriel Emerson from my favorite trilogy: Gabriel’s Inferno, Gabriel’s Rapture and Gabriel’s Redemption by Sylvain Reynard. 

 

 

 

The song “Say Something“ by Christina Aguilera and A Great Big World makes me think of how much I love Donovan Hart in A Gentleman’s Affair and A Gentleman’s Secret by A.J. Lynn. I can’t wait to read more of his fascinating male point of view.

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Pour Some Sugar on Me“ by Def Leppard takes me back to the sexy Cash Davenport in Down to You (The Bad Boys Series) by Michelle Leighton.

 

There are other songs that also remind me of characters.  While the author may not have used songs in their book, certain songs fit the personalities of those loved characters.

One such character I love is Paul Jensen from Prodigal Son by Michelle Day.  “Bad to The Bone“ by George Thorogood pretty much summarizes the cheeky Paul.

Well, these are just some of my favorites.  

Which songs remind you of any of the characters in books you have read?

Share your songs in the comments.  Name the character, the book and the author.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
