Books I Would Buy Right Now

Books I Would Buy Right Now

August 2, 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 topic is Ten Books You’d Buy Right This Second If Someone Handed You A Fully Loaded Gift Card. 

I wish I had all the money in the world to buy books, but with no job and a university student – it’s hard to buy books. So if I had a loaded gift card I would go on a book shopping spree for sure. I would be in heaven. In in my list there are some that have already been published and some that are coming out in coming months. 

Buy Now 1

Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys: I adored this book, it’s one of my favourite books this year, however I received an e-arc of it, therefore I don’t have one of my book shelf. 

Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys: Ely over at Tea and Titles loves this one and since it’s by Ruta Sepetys and set during world war 2, I think I am going to love it to. 

The Kane Chronicles by Rick Riordan: This is the only series that I have yet to read by Riordan and I love all his other books, so I don’t see why I won’t love these. 

buy now 2

P.S I Like You by Kasie West: It’s Kasie West – enough said. 

Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake: This one sounds like my type of book and I loved Anna Dresses in Blood. 

Girl Against the Universe by Paula Stokes: I have heard so many good things about this one that I cannot help but want it. 

buy now 3

On the Edge of Gone by Corinne Duyvis: This one sounds so interesting plus the hardcover is gorgeous! 

Summer of Sloane by Erin L. Schneider: It’s set in Hawaii and I have been hearing quite good things about it. 

The Serpent King by Jeff Zentner: This one sounds fantastic and gosh the reviews have been amazing. 

radio silence

Radio Silence by Alice Oseman: I really enjoy Alice Oseman’s first book, and I have been hearing so many good things about this one. 

And that is it! What are books that you would buy right now if you had the money? Do we share any? Let’s Chat!

    I want to get a hardcover of Salt to the Sea as well. And I also basically need to own everything by Ruta Sepetys! I’ve been debating whether I wanted to get Summer of Sloanes, but I’m not sure yet because I hear there’s some romance drama. But Hawaii though!
    I hope you get a gift card soon so you can make some of these purchases!

    You should definitely get hold of a copy of Between Shades of Grey if you can, I thought it was a lovely, intriguing read. I’ve not read Salt To The Sea though so I might have to give that one a go! 🙂

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?
