july book challenge

i was in mumbai for 1 1/2 weeks so wasn't able to read that much books... like my boss said, productivity of the team is high when we are in mumbai.. it's because everyone wants to go home asap! that's why we worked our butts off until 8pm then have dinner and i would be so tired, i would just go to sleep.

46. Jeff Kinney - Dog Days
still a cute series but i feel like he's ripping people off, writing a short book about what Wimpy Kid did for just one summer. 4 stars.

47. Julie James - Something About You
i have to thank my friend C for introducing me to this author. her books are always a breezy read with fun characters and lovable romance! 4 1/2 stars.

48. Cindy Gerard - To the Edge
i used to love buying her Harlequin/Silhouette books whenever I see them in booksale. This is my first time reading her stand alone novels and it's quite good. A bit of romance and action. This is the first of the Bodyguards series. 4 stars.

49. Eleanor Herman - Sex with the Queen
I've always been fascinated about history, esp if it involves a bit of interesting tidbits and behind the scenes tale of kings and queens. The first few stories of the queens were fascinating, but there were so many queens in the book and it's sad to actually read that they all suffered the same fate and went on the same path of destruction and power. The last bit on Princess Diana was a bit shocking. Didn't realise that behind the sad and pretty facade lies a needy and manipulative b*tch. but of course these maybe half-truths and she may have led a miserable life so who are we to judge? 4 stars.
50. Laura Griffin - Thread of Fear
My cousin C recommended this author to me. Her writing kept me interested to finish the series except she was like Lisa Gardner, the killer was so out of the blue and unexpected. It was like she just needed a plot to start the ball rolling and focused entirely on the romance part and then wham! last chapter they finally figure out the killer and it's nobody important. But still a good read. 4 stars.
51. Leslie Kelly - Suite Seduction
For a while I've stopped reading Harlequin and Silhouette romances but have recently gone back to my habit. The plot is nothing new but she kept it fresh by injecting lots of funny scenes and romantic moments. I would love to read the rest of her books. 4 1/2 stars.
52. Marie Force - Line of Scrimmage
I love reading about sports romances (Deirdre Martin, Susan Phillips, Rachel Gibson) so I tried this book... and loved it! 4 1/2 stars.
actually, not bad. i was able to breach the 50th book mark! Hooray!! 48 books to go!

amazon is p1ssing me off

it's bad enough that they dropped the price a few months ago when iPad came out... now there's even the improved versions with 3G + WiFi and black color? Arrghh!!

need you now

Picture perfect memories, scattered all around the floor

Reaching for the phone 'cause I can't fight it anymore
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time

It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now
Said I wouldn't call but I've lost all control and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now

Another shot of whiskey, can't stop looking at the door
Wishing you'd come sweeping in the way you did before
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time

It's a quarter after one, I'm a little drunk and I need you now
Said I wouldn't call but I've lost all control and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now

Woah, woah

Guess I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all

It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now
And I said I wouldn't call but I'm a little drunk and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now, I just need you now

Oh baby, I need you now

- Lady Antebellum

So nice to see your face again

Tell me how long has it been
Since you've been here
(since you've been here)

You look so different than before
But still the person I adore
Frozen with fear
I'm out of love but I'll take it from the past
I'll let out words cause I'm sure It'll never last

And I've been saving
These last words for one last miracle
But now I'm not sure
I can't save you if
You don't let me
You just get me like I never
Been gotten before

Maybe it's the bitter wind
A chill from the Pacific rim
That brought you this way
(that brought you my way)

Do not make me think of him
The way he touch your fragile skin
That hunts me everyday
I'm out of love but I can't forget the past
I'm out of words but I'm sure it'll never last

And I've been saving
These last words for one last miracle
But now I'm not sure
I can't save you if
You don't let me
You just get me like I never
Been gotten before
Like I never been gotten before

So nice to see you face again
But tell me will this ever end?
Don't disappear

And I've been saving
These last words for one last miracle
But now I'm not sure
I can't save you if
You don't let me
You just get me like I never
Been gotten before
Like I never been gotten before
