Hauling Sunday LIII

Ouf. Why is it that dropping the ball is so much easier than picking it up? That letting go is easier than getting our act together? Sigh. LOL.

Nothing new with me. I've just been busy with work. The past week, I've had to make phone calls to patients (booo) and that cut in in my blogging and reading time. Hopefully, this week will be better :) Also, I haven't felt in top shape lately ^_^; Nothing really serious and most probably, all attributed to stress ^_^; Which is pretty sad and it's making me feel like a lemon. Plus, worst of all is that I haven't been sleeping well... but today, I turned my mattress... so I hope that'll do the trick.

I almost didn't have any books for this post... I haven't gone to the bookstore the whole week and today, I broke down. After the week I had, I decided I should reward myself :) And it wasn't a hit and run. I actually took time to browse the aisles... and found some books worth checking out in the future :) In the meantime, I picked up my Harlequin fix :)



Only Yours by Susan Mallery - The reason I picked up this book was because the theme seemed to be "happy-go-lucky heroine thawing out stuffy hero" which is one of my favorites :P Otherwise, I'm not sure I'd have picked it up. Ms Mallery is really hit and miss with me and some of the books in this series I really enjoyed... but this trilogy being about the Hendrix triplet sisters didn't really appeal to me ^_^; So we'll see how it turns out :)

Good Girls Don't by Victoria Dahl - This one has really been getting great reviews and I like contemporary romances. So seemed logical for me to pick it :) I was tempted to pick up Ms Dahl's other release this month, It's Always Been You, which is a historical romance... but I have never read Ms Dahl's historical writing and I have one in my TBR pile... so I thought it'd be better to give it a try first. See, I'm trying to control myself :)

Where Demons Fear to Tread by Stephanie Chong - The truth? The cover LOL. I really liked the cover and this one while paranormal is about angels and demons, so it could work for me :)

One Good Reason by Sarah Mayberry - This one has been getting better reviews than its prequel, The Last Goodbye. It was on my list to buy, but I thought I'd be picking it up as an ebook... In the end, I picked it up in print today at the bookstore because there was a promotion :)

And there you have it, my new books. I also did an order online - hopefully, I'll be getting them by the end of the week :) I have to say though, I'm already looking forward to September... Meljean Brook, Nalini Singh and Jennifer Estep!! That's going to be a good month LOL.
