May Wrap Up (2016)

May Wrap Up (2016)

May 30, 2016 Posted by angelreads Monthly Wrap Up 5 Comments

May Wrap Up

May has kind of been a rough month for me. I have barley read any books and uni has been hectic. Because of all this my mind has been all over the place, its been hard to keep up with blogging – so I am sorry for the lack of posts this month. 

I am hoping that June is much better. I am on break now from uni – So I am hoping to get some more posts up and hopfully work on my manuscript. 

My #LoveOZYA feature has contuined this month and I really hope that you are enjoying it. If you have any Australian YA authors that I have no interviewed and you would like to see – let me know and I can see what I can do.

I only read 2 books this month.Yep you didn’t read wrong, I only read 2 books in May. However I really liked both of them. 

May Read

Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo | 4 Stars: This word was captivating, I was draw in and didn’t want to get it. It had intriguing characters and an interesting plot. Cannot wait to read more.

    I’m sorry May was so hectic for you. I really hope it calms down with the break soon and you can get back to reading all the awesome books. I adore Six of Crows so I’m happy to see you liked it.
    I took out The Girl from Everywhere from my TBR after a trusted friend mentioned the annoying triangle. I might change that when book 2 is out.
    I really like those bookmarks! Good luck with the Etsy store! 🙂
    Have a great June!

      Thank you. It always happens at the end of the semester, assessment afer assessment. Yay, I am really excited for Crooked Kingdom.
      It’s wired the romance, I hate love triangles and it didn’t really annoying me that much – which is strange. I am hoping that it doesn’t go to shit in book 2 haha.

      Thank you on both accounts.

April was a very good reading month for me, especi April was a very good reading month for me, especially after last month. I had some really fantastic reads in April. I did do a lot of re-reading this month but I had such blast. I re-read Caught Up and Play Along and the first 4 books in the Ironside Academy series. 📚 I read some books that I’ve been waiting for including the new book from Kels and Denise Stone, as well as the new Tessa Hale. ✨ Overall it was such a good month, lots of binge reading series and starting on some new authors. I’m so excited to see what May brings. 🖤 What was your favourite book that you read in April? 🏷️ #romancebooks #bookstagram #romancereads #angelreads #bookblogger #spicybooks #romancereader #romance #smut #recentreads #aprilreads #aprilwrapup
IT’S RACE WEEK! 🏎️ If you didn’t know al IT’S RACE WEEK! 🏎️ If you didn’t know already I love F1, have ever since I was younger and decided that this year it would be fun to combined my love for F1 and reading together. 📚 After a week off we are back at it. We are in Miami this week’s and things are only just heating up. This week I’m reading Falling Off the Cliff Kanitha P. … Formula 1 legend in the making and rising star Thiago Valencia is chasing redemption as well as his second World Champion title. With a tarnished reputation and an undetermined future in F1 that hangs by a terribly loose thread, he can’t afford to lose his seat. Thiago is ready to do anything to redeem himself and erase his past mistakes. When a mysterious woman intrudes on his private party in Monte Carlo, he is certain the universe has brought his polar opposite into his life as salvation. He is sunshine, she is moonlight; he is a bright star and she is a moonbeam. Destiny takes the wheel, steering Kamari into Thiago’s orbit, but her open disdain and closely guarded heart warn her to stay away. Enchanted by her charms, Thiago is intent on melting her freezing barriers and tearing down the walls shielding her heart. When Kamari agrees to help him save his future by being his fake girlfriend, the unexpected happens, triggered by a game of lies, secrets and desire. As they plunge towards the finish line, the race veers offtrack and neither of them are ready to fall off the cliff. … How Race Week Reads Will Work On Monday of race week I’ll announce the book I’ll be reading for the week, then throughout the week I’ll be posting stories and my thoughts. And then on Sunday, race day my review and final thoughts will go up. 🏷️ #romancebooks #bookstagram #romancereads #angelreads #bookblogger #spicybooks #romancereader #romance #f1 #formula1 #ausgp #raceweekreads #f1romance #sportsromance #fallingoffthecliff #kanithap #fullthrottle
A little late but I am finally getting to share Ra A little late but I am finally getting to share Race 5’s Race Week Reads review. This week I read, Downforce (Pit Lane #1) by Hannah Lily. 🏎️ Review 🏎️ I had so much fun reading this book. I knew I was in for a ride as soon as I started Downforce. It was entertaining, fun, and I just had a good time reading it. And while it does explore some heavy topics, I don’t think it took away from the fun nature of the book. Right from the start, we can see the tension between F1 Presenter, Olivia Fraser and F1 Driver, Jonah Scott. And while silly at times, it was fun seeing them interact together. Both really didn’t like each other. They both had said things about and to one another that sometimes it caused chaos. And I was here for it. I did find that at times, just silly things happened. I am not a massive rom-com reader, and there was a lot of falling into one another, and arguments stemmed from nothing. This is honestly just because I don’t like these types of scenes, but it didn’t really make me dislike the book at all. I loved the whole road trip aspect of the book, it’s different from other F1 books I’ve read so far this year and just made for some interesting banter and lust. I do wish that the road trip was a little longer than it was because I did feel like the romance moved pretty quickly here, but again, it didn’t really affect how much I was enjoying the book. The romance was this combination of being slow burn and full of angst right at the start, to the road trip happening and then bam. But I loved it, though. The banter between Olivia and Jonah was fantastic. I loved seeing them grow not only with one another but with themselves as well. Overall, I had a great time reading Downforce and will be continuing the series for sure when the other books come out. The romance was angsty and just felt right. The found family aspect really worked well here, and the F1 aspects were pretty okay. Not the best I’ve seen, but not the worst either. If you are looking for a fun read that has a great romance and a little rom-comy, then pick this one up.
I’ve already had a pretty amazing reading year. I’ve already had a pretty amazing reading year. There have been so many books that I have enjoyed but there are some that I have just loved. 🖤 I didn’t realise before I put this post together that all of these books are from authors I’ve read and loved before. There hasn’t been a Rebecca Yarros book that I haven’t rated under 4 Stars. Elsie Silver is just making me love everything that she writes. Wild and Wrangled may be my favourite in the series. 📖 Three rereads also made it to this list. Binding 13 still makes me gasp and smile all at the same time. And Caught Up and Play Along just hit every time. 📚 I’ve honestly had a great year so far and since making this post a few more books I’ve read I’ve ended up loving. It’s going to be hard to pick my favourites at the end of the year that is for sure. ✨ What books have you loved reading this year? Are any books that made my list on yours?
