As we looked over the list of May 2012 titles, it’s fair to say that all of us at AAR found at least a few things to anticipate. Some months are fairly slim pickings, but May seems to have a little more promise to it. And there are two books that almost all of us just can’t wait to get our hands on – Beguiling the Beauty by Sherry Thomas and Somebody to Love by Kristan Higgins. With some other releases of historicals, series romance, contemporary romance, paranormal and even a little chick lit to round out the list, May is looking hopeful indeed. What do you want to read this month?
