I've got 3 new books. So drum roll please.

Buying new books every week is really a bad habit. I feel guilty when paying for them at the cashier. But after I tuck them comfortably on my shelf, I felt a great sense of satisfaction (got-my-hands-on-them kind of satisfaction) followed by dread real quick after realising how many books I have in my TBR pile.

I know of others with a hundred books waiting to be read. Mine is peanuts compared to them. But for my standards, having more then 5 currently and knowing that there will be more books coming and no time to read them -- sucks.

Anyway, Introducing my three new books:

I just realised I got Viva Las Bad Boys! (also by HelenKay Dimon) on 9th Aug 2006 (which is Singapore's birthday!) I got this book, Your Mouth Drives Me Crazy, on 8th Aug 2007. So it's just a day short of a year. Damn. I really hate waiting. But luckily her next book is released on March 2008.

But isn't that like, 7 months later? Damn.

Next!

Perfect Kisses! I love both Susan Johnson's & Sylvia Day's writings, and as for Noelle Mack, I'm still reserving judgment. I've got one of her book, Three published under Aphrodisia.

I do like Three and had enjoyed reading it. I only didn't like the fact that the hero and heroine didn't get married, though they did pledge to stay together. I'm all for marriages and having babies in the endings.

Next!

I wonder anyone remembered this page I created. It's about the title Sun, Sand, Sex. I checked back the newly-revamped Kensington page here, and they amended the title (correctly) with the comma instead of the "and" (as in Sand, Sand and Sex). But the kept the wrong spelling of Jennifer Apodaca's name!

Jennifer Apodaca and Shelly Laurenston are new to me. I can't wait to read Linda Lael Miller's story! She's one of my very first romance authors and I've enjoyed most of the books she have written. It's been quite a while since I last read her work.

Tempting

I got Susan Johnson's Tempting recently at a mini book bonanza at less than a third of the price sold at Bookstores. The version I got is the green paperpack one:

I've already read the book: I saw the trade paperback version (the pretty pink one) on the shelves at the library one day last year, and made a big leap for it. I enjoyed Tempting enough to want to buy it, but I want the trade paperback version, pretty pink and big text and all, but it's nowhere to be found for sale.

Here's a heart-breaking moment from the book:

When the winter wind struck them, she shivered in his arms.

He broke into a run.

Max was carrying Christina in his arms as she was in a weak form (poisoned by evil husband), and thus Max was really desperate to get her to a doctor fast. In the end, she became well again, gotten rid of evil husband, and got married again. To Max of course.

Happy ending always.
