Nothing but Sex in October

To me this whole month is all about research. I was going to make this happen in Nov, but have decided that, because I'm having a little bit of trouble finding what I need, and I can't seem to get this topic off my mind, I am going to push it forward as well as extent it for however long I need. All this info will be labelled 'research' and will be intertwined throughout the last couple of months of this year. It will also become something of a thing whenever I read a book, because...well read on and you will see.  

[read this for the first blog, and the reason why I started it, I see no point in saying this shit twice]
[oh, and this one two, but it's not all that important]

It's become painfully clear, as I look up the idea, the books that I need to make this into what I want it, that book shops are what makes it hard for YA reader to transition themselves to adult novels.

You have to basically go on blind luck that you are going to get a novel that has a level of sex that you can actually deal with and not something that is more erotic. Yeah, I'm actually disappointed in the book stores or maybe more for the mummy types out there that hadn't bitched about this yet (really you should look into this, it's actually something that could be used). I cannot find out, before I buy a book, whether or not I'm seeing just a normal romance novel, or if it's an erotic ones. And just by the name you know there's a huge difference.

And there is, the biggest is that a lot of people aren't ready for that type of book, and a lot of them, most really, that are paranormal and well known, spoken about are actually closer to erotic than they are just plan. 

The difference, if you don't know, and you are the ones that I'm writing this for, is that a planner type of sex in a book is something you probably want to read when you were going into the adult novels. They are the ones that are less...um...involved in the sex. 

Okay, this isn't really working, I'm going to show you the difference between what I think is the type of book you should read. I'm going to start with something that's very light and that works its way up--this is only from my own shelves, hopefully throughout the post I will have a lot better ideas. (Though I might show you like this, just what the sex is like in each book I recommended or don't so that you can all see if you can handle it or not, deal?)
