If it weren't for the blogging activity I'd never have any idea what I had read; I've even bought the same book more than once. I bolded the text for the stories I liked best! Some were shorter novellas which I don't usually enjoy; of those I really enjoyed Winning the Wallflower and Driving Mr. Dead.

One thing I know is that if I like something I will read as much of that series or author as possible within my time constraints. So you might see patterns. For example after I read the book If Walls Could Talk  I read a few Historical Romances and loved Firelight and Eloisa James' stories.
