Books finished in May, and other things

Well, here are my May reads. It was a pretty good month. I expect June to be even better! Still have a few review books to finish up, but not too much. Then I really dig into my tbr pile. I also hope to do Keishon's TBR challenge.

Well, that was 29 books finished in May bringing my year total up to 121. Not too shabby.

A few of the books I hope to read in June from my tbr pile are: eh...there are lots. Too many to choose. I'd really like to get to Cindy Gerard's To the Edge, as well as Jennifer Crusie's Welcome to Temptation. and then there's the two Laura Kinsale books I acquired, as well as Stargazer by Colby Hodge, The Way He Makes Me Feel by Tamara Sneed, Mr. Impossible by Loretta Chase, The Veil of Night by Lydia Joyce, Talk of the Ton anthology, Till Next We Meet by Karen Ranney, lots of Bombshell titles, as well as lots of Harlequin Intrigues. The Moon Witch by Linda Winstead Jones since I liked the Sun Witch so much... like I said, lots of choices. Damnit.

Oh, if I didn't blog about some of these titles, give a shout out and I'll let you know what I thought. All the manga ones were really good, though. Negima! is cute, and so obviously geared to adolescent boys. It's kinda funny. Hellsing is good, different than the anime, but both are really good.

No book buying until after the 14th. I promised DH. I can do it, yes I can! I mean, I DO have all these books to choose from. I also have a seriously long list of books to get from the library and have several new ones that are coming out in hardback on hold like the newest JD Robb, Tori Carrington's, the new MJD, and the new Johanna Lindsey. So whenever those come in I'll read them. Usually I'd just buy the Robb one, but really, I end up seeing the hardback for cheap later on.

What did you think of Hard Candy? I like Angela Knight but wasn't sure if I should buy this one.

Hard Candy was okay, but nothing special. The stories are more just about hot sex with multiple partners rather than real romance.

How much you read makes me sentimental for the days before I started writing!!! I miss all the reading!!!!!!

Alyssa said...

Thanks for telling me about Hard Candy. I'm not into the multiple partners trend, so I'll avoid this one.

What did you think of Gossymyr (I'm sure I butchered the spelling). I have it and tried to start it but couldn't get in to it.

I was actually surprised at how much I liked Gossamyr. It does start out slow and the writing takes some getting used to. I did like it in the end.
