Top 5 most requested titles for May 2010

List by Natalie

"Always read something that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it."
~ P.J. O'Rourke

The wonderful Natalie told me what our top 5 most requested titles were for May 2010. Two of them I expected (numbers 2 and 1) and the other 3 - seriously, what are you people reading? Kidding! Is there something slightly strange about us wanting to share what other people are requesting? Absolutely. Does that make you slightly voyeuristic for wanting to see what your fellow bibliophiles are reading? Sure does :) Enjoy.

Top 5 raciest romance reads to float across my desk this week

List by Tosca

"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day."
- from a list of funny 'Love' quotes by kids

Caution: reading these books may cause extreme blushing. You have been warned!

Ok, so the post opens with a love quote about a dog licking your face so it can only get better right? I mean, I'm not about to list books that involve dodgy and illegal acts with animals because EWW. So you can relax, now. What I am going to list, though, are the 5 best (or worst, depending on your point of view) of the raciest romance reads to cross my desk all week. And geez do I see heaps (and call it 'research' - all in the name of work). The reason for the dog/love quote is because 3 of the titles listed below feature shape shifters as the heroes. In fact, they're all lions. Kings of the jungle. Rowwwrrrrr! And I couldn't find a cat/love quote, so there.
