August Book Haul

So I have decided that I want to start up a new thing on my blog, and that is Book Hauls. I just love sharing all the new books I get months. So at the start of each month I will post what i brought throughout the previous month. For example at the start of September, I am posting what books I brought or received through August. I would Also like to here what books you also brought throughout the month as well. 
 
So in the Month of August I brought alot of books. I didn’t mean to, but when i start to buy books I just cannot seem to stop. (these are in no particular order as i don’t remember which books I brought first.)
 
First I brought a fair few Cassandra Clare books, I do have most of them on my Kobo but I wanted Physical copies. I just love them to bits. 
 
 
– City of Bones (The Moral Instruments) 
– City of Ashes (The Moral Instruments) 
– City of Glass (The Moral Instruments) 

 

– City of Fallen Angels (The Moral Instruments) 
– City of Lost Souls (The Moral Instruments) 
– Clockwork Angel (The Infernal Devices)

I also brought the 2nd and 3rd books into the Bloodlines series by Richelle Mead. Another one of my buys was Angelfall by Susan Ee

 

– The Golden Lily (Bloodlines)
– The Indigo Spell (Bloodlines) 
– Angelfall (Penryn & the End of Days)

The last 2 books I brought were written my the amazing John Green


 

 

– The Fault in Our Stars
– An Abundance of Katherines

If you follow my blog or follow me on twitter, you might have read that I went to Penguin Teens Live in Melbourne. I received 2 books by 2 Australia Authors while I was there.

    You just answered me on Twitter, but I’ll still ask here as I said I would! ^-^ (Thank you for changing the commenting options!)

    I was wondering if you’d read all the Bloodlines books yet, but you just told me you’re halfway through The Golden Lily. Are you enjoying it? I seriously love that series so much! I’m completely addicted and I don’t want to admit to how many times I’ve read those books!!

    That night at Penguin was so good – I really loved listening to what Will & Jennifer had to say!

      Haha,
      it’s alright thank you for pointing out that you couldn’t comment.
      I am loving Golden Lily at the moment, I just love how Richelle Mead writes she seems to take me to another world. Been addicted to the VA world for about 6-5 years now and I just love that we keep on getting more books.

      I love the night at Penguin, it was an amazing experience. yes I loved listening to both Will and Jennifer they both had very wise words to say.

March was a better reading month than February for March was a better reading month than February for me, and while I’m still stuck in my heated rivalry fanfiction era I managed to scrap out of it a little this month. 

I reread four books from the sweet omegaverse series and honestly had the best time. I also read two of my most anticipated reads of the year and had a blast. Sadly I did also have my first dnf of the year.

What did you read this March? Any standouts? What are you looking forward to reading in April? Let’s chat!

I have a love-hate relationship with this series. I have a love-hate relationship with this series. But I ended up really enjoying this one. It’s best friends to fake dating to-lovers. It’s always been you, bad-boy/good-girl, and I loved that. While Save Your Breath has quite a few tropes, it really leads itself to it, and it works. 

Aleks and Mia have known each other for years now. Since they were teenagers, that angst has been building up this whole time. And you can tell right from the get-go, it’s fantastic. I even wanted more of it, because I love pain. When Aleks went to live with Mia’s family as a teenager, sparks flew, but for many reasons, they both put their feelings aside. And well, now they are not only going to be fake-dating, but they might as well be engaged, too. 

I really enjoyed seeing how both Aleks and Mia both tried to hide how they were feeling throughout the whole ‘fake-dating’ situation, but anyone could see it. They know each other as no one else does. Aleks has a lot going on, and while I do think this was brushed over a little too much, Mia is his centre. Mia is a massive music star and is a female in the industry, so yeah, people don’t respect her. Obvsiouly because why couldn’t a female star be badass and write about the things that she has gone through? Aleks and Mia get each other, and that is very clear from the start; they are both just trying to squash everything. We get to see them slowly start to show how they feel, and well, one night it all explodes. 

Overall, I enjoyed this one a lot; it’s not my favourite of the series, but I had a great time reading it. I liked Aleks and Mia a lot as characeters and while I think the mental health aspect could have been explored a whole lot more, I can see why it wasn’t. The romance was slow and spicy, the angst was great, and the payoff for these two was what they needed.

Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I onl Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I only ended up reading 3 books in. 3 pretty fun books but one of my slowest readings months in a while. 

And I’m going to be honest here it’s because I’ve been constantly reading Heated Rivalry fanfics. 🤷‍♀️ I’m having the best time though. 

How was your reading in February? Any 5  star reads?
