Uniquely Rika

This is what I am currently reading, and I rather like it.  It's a different approach, written by a woman.  I find it highly readable and far different from the hate-fueled literature of Elise Sutton and others who feel the only way is their way.  I'll keep you posted.

New Fiction?

I found the following author through one of the strangest Amazon searches I could ever imagine.  I went there looking for a book of Fair Isle glove and mitten patterns.  I was also directed to--erotica from a woman named Louisa Burton, who writes a series known as The Hidden Grotto.  If I can find out what Fair Isle (or, more specifically, fingerless) gloves have to do with BDSM and Victorian-era erotica, y'all will be the first to know.  Right now, I only have samples, but I'll let you know what I think.

Upcoming Reviews

I know, I know. . . . I KNOW!  I know I use this title a lot on my posts, but this time I really am going to finish the whole book and post the reviews.  The two latest titles?  Friendly Fetish by Dr. Emily Dubberley (based on the opening chapters, I wish someone had introduced this book to me early on in my readings) and At Her Feet, by Fox and Tammy Eckhardt.

I'll warn you right now, hard-liners--you're not gonna like my take on Friendly Fetish.  I see it, so far, as Fetish 101, much like Jay Wiseman's SM 101, which I'm still reading.  And it's not that Wiseman's prose is unreadable.  No, far from it.  But I do take notes, I do highlight and underline things, and I do read and re-read things so that I make sure I'm understanding them properly.  Yes, I know, I'm such a pain in your ass--but you knew that when you started following, so don't bitch or you'll just get the ball-gag again.

At Her Feet has been camped out on my Kindle for a while now.  I only just now got to it, and am now wondering why I waited so long.  I'm also re-reading The Mistress Manual, because I can't remember if I gave it a proper review here.

I'll keep you posted Readers!
