50 Shades of Gray

Fifty Shades of Grey: Thursday July 5, 12-1 pm

A rebroadcast of our lively discussion about the wildly popular "Fifty Shades of Grey" trilogy, the erotic-themed novels that still hold the top three spots on the New York Times bestseller list for both e-books and trade paperbacks.
