#AtoZChallenge ee cummings

As a child, I remember being fascinated by ee cummings, because he didn't like capitalization nor punctuation. It blew my mind, because those rules were being drilled into my head in elementary school. Nevertheless, we read his poetry, particularly those written for kids, I suppose.

Moving on as a teacher, I loved a book called hist whist, that I still like to break out during the Halloween season. I knew about his poetry for adults and had read some of them. I never knew that he had an erotic collection, as well. I only found out after a friend mentioned how her husband had read ee cummings during their wedding ceremony and often purchased his books of poetry for her.

cummings was also apparently an artist, with numerous drawings to accompany his poetry. Have you read them?

Blurb from Amazon:

E. E. Cummings’s erotic poems and drawings gathered in a single volume.

Many years ago the prodigious and famously prolific E. E. Cummings sat in his study writing and thinking about sex. His private brooding gave way to poems and drawings of sexual and romantic love that delight and provoke. Here, collected for this first time in a single volume, are those erotic poems and sketches, culled from Cummings’s original manuscripts by the distinguished editor George James Firmage.

#AtoZChallenge Betrayed Series by Carolyn McCray

I have often heard of this series, but I haven't yet read it. The Betrayed Series by Carolyn McCray is supposed to filled with sensuality and controversy that puts Dan Brown to shame. I saw it on a few lists of spicy reads and romance, so I decided to include it. Have you read any of these? What did you think?

Ambush: A Prequel to 30 Pieces of Silver


Deep in the cartel-controlled Mexican jungle, Brandt and his team must rescue a CIA mission gone awry. Can they survive a brutal ambush?  








30 Pieces of Silver

A Christian suicide bomber.
John the Baptist's bones inscribed in ancient Greek.
A dark secret carried from the foot of the crucifixion.

Can science solve the world's greatest mystery?









Havoc


What if the Tablets of the Ten Commandments were not sent off in the Ark. What if they contained more than the Golden Rule? 

Rebecca and Brandt go on their greatest adventure trying to stay one step ahead of a new viscous enemy, the Disciples of the Stone.

 






Shiva


Is a young girl the new messiah or just a pawn in a violent chase across continents? Can Brandt and Rebecca keep the child safe from the Disciples who want to wipe her existence from the face of the earth.

#AtoZChallenge Anais Nin

When looking for spicy reads, one of the top names in erotica has always been Anais Nin. She is a classic. I admit that I have only read one of her books. I honestly don't even remember which one it was. I housesat for a friend for a week, and it was sitting on her bookshelf. As with all short stories, some I really liked. Some were disturbing. Some I didn't much care for. She is definitely someone I would be curious to learn more about and read more.

I have included a few titles with descriptions. As always, you can click on a book title for more information, reviews, and to download. Blurbs are from Amazon. What are your favorites?

In Delta of Venus, Anais Nin pens a lush, magical world where the characters of her imagination possess the most universal of desires and exceptional of talents. Among these provocative stories, a Hungarian adventurer seduces wealthy women then vanishes with their money; a veiled woman selects strangers from a chic restaurant for private trysts; and a Parisian hatmaker named Mathilde leaves her husband for the opium dens of Peru.









Evocative and superbly erotic, Little Birds is a powerful journey into the mysterious world of sex and sensuality. From the beach towns of Normandy to the streets of New Orleans, these thirteen vignettes introduce us to a covetous French painter, a sleepless wanderer of the night, a guitar-playing gypsy, and a host of others who yearn for and dive into the turbulent depths of romantic experience.











The Portable Anais Nin is the first comprehensive collection of the author's work in nearly 40 years, during which time her catalogue has doubled with the release of the erotica and unexpurgated diaries. A handy source book of Nin's most important writings, arranged chronologically and annotated by prominent Nin scholar Benjamin Franklin V. Included are complete diary excerpts, entire fictional works, such as The House of Incest, erotica, interviews, selections from her unpublished diary, and her critical writings.
