Books I Love But I Haven’t Talked About Enough

Books I Love But I Haven’t Talked About Enough

March 22, 2016 Posted by angelreads Features, Top Ten Tuesday 11 Comments

TTT

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they post a new Top Ten list that members at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. All bloggers are then welcomed to join. This week’s Top Ten Tuesday is: Ten Books I Really Love But Feel Like I Haven’t Talked About Enough

I love a lot of books, but I do talk about more than I do others. Here is a small list of some of my favourite books/series that I don’t think I talk about enough. 

Book Cover Love

Lux Series by Jennifer L. Armentrout: This is only a recent read, and I have no idea why I waited so long to read these books, because they are seriously so good. I haven’t written my reviews for this, but I read the whole series in a week. 

Winner’s Trilogy by Marie Rutkoski: This is probably one of my favourite fantasy series that I have read. I adore these books, and I just want everyone to read them. Winner’s Curse | Winner’s Crime | Winner’s Kiss

Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys: Another recent read, but this book is already of my favourite this year. Review

Book Cover Love

Emmy and Oliver by Robin Benway: I love this book a lot, it was fun, cute and broke my heart at times. Review

Masquerade by Kylie Fornasier: This book is just beautiful. Review 

The Darkest Corners by Kara Thomas: This book messed with my mind, but it was so good. here was so many twist and turns and I had no idea to believe. I guessed some things and was way off on others. This book kept me thinking and thinking, I could not put it down. Review coming soon. 

And that is it for this weeks Top Ten Tuesday. I hope you liked the 6 books that I love, but don’t about enough. I hope that you read some of them. Do we share any? Are you going to read any? Let’s Chat.

    I’m still waiting for my copy of The Winner’s Kiss! It’s not supposed to be released for a good week but it seems like everyone has already read it. I got Salt To The Sea from NetGalley, so I’ll be reading that soon.

    I recently added The Darkest Corners to my “want to read” list–so glad to see it here, and hear you liked it so well! Books that mess with readers’ minds are some of my FAVORITES, so now I’m even more psyched to pick this one up!

    Great collection of titles! Here’s my TTT.

    I hear a lot about Salt to the Sea, but still haven’t had a chance to read it. The Winner’s Curse is fantastic! Great list!

    Here are my Top Ten!

    I LOVED Emmy and Oliver too! I was so surprised how much I adored it too… I’m usually so hard to please when it comes to contemporary. xD BUT YUUUS it was so adorable and mildly heartbreaking. <3

    I loved Emmy & Oliver, but I knew I would. Robin’s AKA books are some of my favorites. YES to The Winner’s Curse series. Marie’s words are so lovely. Annnnnnnnd huge yes to the Lux books. I have a serious crush on Daemon Black.

    There are a few on here that I haven’t heard of, I’ll have to check them out.
    Great list!

    Except for the first two Winner’s Curse books, I haven’t actually read any of these! Which I will have to change, because they all sound good. I actually borrowed the first Lux book from the library but never got around to reading it D:

    And I think The Darkest Corners is one you recommended to me when I asked for mystery/thriller recs? It looks awesome, and I can’t wait to read it 😀

    I actually have a copy of Masquerade that I won in a giveaway, so I will have to read that one soon. I’ve only heard good things about it, which bodes well!

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?

January was a really solid reading month. I read s January was a really solid reading month. I read some books that had been on my tbr for some time, reread a few things that peaked my interest. I also started a few new series. And just had a good time!

I just had a really good start to the year. While February is a little slow so far I’m looking forward to what I can pick up.
