I’m Back! Uni, Life and Exhaustion

I’m Back! Uni, Life and Exhaustion

October 31, 2016 Posted by angelreads Discussions, Features 2 Comments

im-back

So, you might have noticed that Angel Reads has been a little quite the last couple of weeks. I’m a little sorry for that, however, I was in the last few weeks of my university course and everything was crazy. I had assessment after assessment, events, and my internship. I haven’t really had no time to rest, you might have even noticed I was not on twitter a lot as well – which was so hard!

Anyway, I have finished my course and I graduate officially on the 14th of December. I have 1 more assessment to go, but it’s due on Sunday, so I thought I would say hello early. If you didn’t know already I was doing an Associate Degree in Professional Writing and Editing. 

What’s Next?

Anyway, I have finished my course and I graduate officially on the 14th of December. YAY! I am not going to my ceremony simply because I am planning on studying some more. Hopefully next year I will be enrolled in the Bachelor of Communication (Public Relations). I will know in the next couple of months if I am.  

Books

I have been reading the past couple of weeks and that’s because it’s a 40-minute train ride to and from University. Public transport is one of my main reading times, as normally when I come home I sleep or study. Some of my favourite for the recent months are:

Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake:  Three Dark Crowns is dark and sinister. You don’t know who to trust or what is going to happen next.There were a couple of problems here and there, but overall, I really enjoyed it. The reader is left on their feet through the book, and even when it ends, you are left standing on the edge of a cliff. Full Review

Something in Between by Melissa de la Cruz: Such an important book that is topical. It was a refreshing and smart and that I think every teen and adult should read.  Full Review coming soon. 

Worldwalker Trilogy by Josephine Angelini:  An enthralling and intriguing journey for both the reader and the characters. With wonderful character development and a riveting world of fantasy and science. This series to easy to fly through and you will be satisfied when you finish. Reviews: Trial by Fire,  Firewalker  and Witch’s Pyre

    Yay on finishing your course! I hope things get a bit less crazy for you. Also yay for more reading team, I struggle with finding more of that…or making more time for it.

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?
