It’s new release day again, and this is one of the longest lists in a LONG time!! Over 100 new releases today, plus new audiobooks plus reader recommendations that sound awesome! And!! the *blurb-jolters* (like that one to the left. OMG I wanna!!!) 

What others do I wanna read? Pure Abandon is much loved right now (a la “Arsen” feel and has been HIGH on my TBR list since its release), Hawthorne & Heathcliff (yet another HIGH on my TBR list that is back to getting SO much love – THIS STORY I KNOW i’m going to go crazy for…), A Taste of Heaven (sounds like so much “contemporary romance fun”, she wins on a show like “chopped” and ends up dealing with a chef like “Chef Ramsey” Tee hee!! Can you imagine?? Ahhhh the torment potential!!), fugly (that one to the left that is calling my name the MOST right now… her boss thinks that, of her… I think. And he’s and ass!! YAY ME!!!), and Softer Than Steel (I absolutely loved #1, and am thrilled she has continued this as a rock star series…).
