For me, I’ll consider it National Novel READING Month, as there are a ton of excellent Erotic Novels, BDSM/Fetish Novels, and if I’m feeling particularly A.D.D. I’ll cheat with some short stories.

Here’s 5 Novels from GV’s book collection:

Carrie’s Story

Molly Weatherfield
This thoroughly engaging novel is destined to become a modern-day classic, beautifully blending an intricate S/M underground world with the erotic flowering of a young, sexy and wry-humored female Berkeley PhD who is willingly sold into Victorian-style slavery. For those who hunger to experience sexually explicit slave auctions, pony trainings and ripe men and women disciplined in the erotic arts — or just want to sink into a world as detailed and heady as Story of O — this book is just what the master ordered.

Claiming Of Sleeping Beauty

A. N. Roquelaure
Well-known novelist Anne Rice penned this S/M trilogy (this is the first volume, Beauty’s Punishment and Beauty’s Release follow) under a pseudonym because of its deliciously scandalous content. Rice chronicles the adventures of Sleeping Beauty who, upon awakening from her slumber, finds her heart and body under the rule of her princely deliverer. Countless broken taboos fill these volumes.

Followed by the sequels:
Beauty’s Punishment and Beauty’s Release

Pleasure’s All Mine

The Memoir of a Professional Submissive
“What’s a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?” is probably the first question you’d ask Joan Kelly in a dungeon. In a world of professional dommes, her job niche is unusual — she works as an independent submissive. With an appealing moxie, she explains how she went from working as an unfulfilled secretary to becoming a professional sub. Her observations of a sexual subculture are insightful and she writes with real affection for her clients and their hot scenes. In her pursuit of sensual sadism, she gains confidence through sex work and finds self-possession while surrendering to the sexual will of others.

The Leather Daddy And The Femme

Carol Queen
Upon its release, this groundbreaking classic turned typical erotica upside down and revealed San Francisco’s outrageous sexual underground. This updated edition, with previously unprinted scenes, takes the story further. Miranda — Randy when she’s a guy — lusts for gay leathermen, and one evening she becomes the sex toy she’d always dreamed of being. That’s the beginning of this story of transgender encounters, tricks and cruising, vivid sexual escapades — and possibly the most modern version of true love in contemporary literature. A Down There Press book.
Winner of the 1999 Firecracker Alternative Book Award

Story Of O

Pauline Réage
Set in 19th-century France, this book was the first critically acclaimed contemporary S/M novel. The details of O’s systematic, willing submission to her lover have fueled many a fantasy. This is a great read for people interested in the dynamics of submission and dominance as well as people simply looking for a hot one-handed read.
