Here are the books I have read in May. I'm excited to say that I've read 6 books in May and a
total of 27 books since I started in January! I hope to be able to read more in the upcoming months until the end of December.
This month, I have read some good books. I was excited to read Julie James' About That Night, finally. I loved it as I always do with the rest of her other books. Except this one, the sex were more steamier than her previous works, which I also like. The humors are also there as well as the hero/heroine bantering, but maybe there are less of it. But I really enjoyed the book and loved Kyle and Rylann together. I also loved Lucky in Love by Jill Shalvis, the latest Lucky Harbor series. Ty and Mallory are so good together and I loved every moments of them on pages. The emotions, the hearts and humors is just my kind of book I like to read. I'm looking forward to get my hands on the next release, At Last, which is on June 26, 2012! Notice, I've been reading some of Jill Shalvis' older works too. I've all of her books and finally able to read them, so I'm now up to dated on her books. Although I have read many books by Lora Leigh, there are still some I need to read or catch up on. I loves Lora Leigh books, especially the ones with the best friend/lover theme. I wish there were more theme like this one, but sometime it really hard to find.
Below are the books I read in May. These were some good books read! Wish me luck that I be able to continue to read more in the next few months.

What Been Going On With Me
50 Books Challenge
I'm sorry for not posting enough, and the last time I posted was Christmas 2011. It had been a busy month for me, since January 2012 arrives. With the New Years and birthdays all happened at once, so that was why I delayed in posting. Plus the darn 'Gardens of Time' apps game from Facebook, which my good friend M had got me to play. I hate this game for a good reason, HA! *G* I will try to keep up and post more on my blog whenever I can. I was debating (and have been since last year) of closing this blog down because I fear that my blog isn't getting enough readership. And that it get very hard for me to think of something good to post about. But a very good friend of mine 'pushed' me to keep it running and do my best in my blog as much as I can. She said "practice make perfect". In a sense, that is true. But it is HUGE challenge for me. I'm not the best grammar and speller out there, I will admit. But I don't wish to make my readership feel uncomfortable to be here and I do hope they will stay with me as long as I still have this blog. I still use my blog to keep up with the books I read over the years and to remember what the book are about from the reviews I've done. I also want to see how many books I can read each years too. I always challenge myself to read 50 books. And if I can reach it, then I go further for 100. But no matter how fast or slow I read, I can only managed to read below 50. In 2011 I read a total of 37 books. While that isn't a bad number, it still leave me feeling...unsatisfied because I didn't reach that 50 books goal. This year, I'm going to try my best to reach that 50 books goal! And I know I'm going to need those 'push' from friends and that would be helpful for me.
I have not posted books that I read in December 2011. So here they are. See below. I only read 3 books for December but two out of the three books were very good! Both are my favorite authors. And I hope you would check them out and read their books! I also have not posted all the books I have read for 2011 either. I will post that underneath the "December Books 2011" too. I know I didn't put links to read the book's reviews for each books, but I only have limited time to blog. And it'll take me long time to link them to each books. You are more than welcome to search it around my blog. Most of my reading range from contemporary romance, romance suspense and erotic contemporary romance. A few historical and paranormal (no vamps please *G*!) And these are all books I bought on my own. And if I'm lucky enough to win books from online contests, it make me happy and I be glad to review them :) I have read many good books from my favorite authors in 2011 and I hope to continue to read plenty more books from them in 2012! I also wish everyone happy reading! :)
