Book Tag: The Summer Reader

Book Tag: The Summer Reader

March 7, 2017 Posted by angelreads Book Tag, tags 5 Comments

I wasn’t tagged by anyone this time, but I thought it would be fun since it’s currently coming to the end of Summer here in Australia. I love summer when I am able to go to the beach or pools not so much when it’s 40+. Anyhow, I hope you like. I saw this tag on Igniting Pages, however, I don’t know where the tag orginated. Please do tell me if you know.

Lemonade: Pick a book that started off bitter but then got better

We Come Apart by Sarah Crossan and Brain Conaghan: Okay, this didn’t exactly start off as bitter, however, it’s was one of my first verse novels. So getting into the rhythm of that was hard. But, in the end, I ended up enjoying the book.

Golden Sun: Pick a book that made you smile beyond compare

Catching Jordan by Miranda Kenneally: I just recently re-read this and I forgot how much these books make me smile. I love Sam and everything that he does. I love Jordan and how strong and vulnerable she is. All these series are quite similar in this fact, and I love it.

Tropical Flowers: Pick a book set in a different country

The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas: Because this didn’t fit in any other question, I had to slot it in here. The Hate U Give is set in America so it totally works. But I suggest that everyone picks up this book as soon as you can because it’s brilliant.

 

Green Grass: Pick a character(s) that was full of life, making you smile

Blake Riley from Good Boy by Sarina Bowen Elle Kennedy: He is such a fun character that gosh it made me smile. I just think all these books by these two in this ‘series’ are so good.

Tree Shade: Pick a book where a mysterious or shady character is introduced.

Caraval by Stephanie Garber for sure! Throughout the whole book, you are introduced to new characters, but you also don’t know who to trust. Everyone is trying to deceive you, it’s all a game. You think that you can trust a character, but then something happens and you are second guessing yourself before you know it | Full Review 

Watermelon: Pick a book that had some juicy secrets

Him and Us by Sarina Bowen Elle Kennedy: These books were fantastic! If you are looking for some good NA, then these are the books for you. I smiled, I cried, I loved. Oh, and there are defiantly some juicy secrets.

Sun Hat: Pick a book with a vast big universe/setting

Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor: This book was fantastic. I cannot even begin to explain. I was intrigued and pulled right in. The world of this book, though, is phenomenal. It’s different, yet familiar and I loved it.

Beach Sand: Pick a book that was grainy and the plot barely developed

Cheater by Rachel Van Dyken: I really didn’t like this book at all. So much contributed to it, but I didn’t even know what was happening half the time, plus the character aren’t that crash hot either.

BBQ: Pick a book in which a character was portrayed as hunk

Crash into You by Katie McGarry: Not as much as a hunk as a Bad Boy – but gosh do I love him. I think he might be my favourite boy from the Pushing the Limits series.

Summer Fun: Pass The Tag On

Ely from Tea and Titles 
Casey from adoptabook
Danielle from The Chronicles of Danielle
Tash from Confessions from Romaholics

And that is it for this tag! I love doing tags so if you want to tag me in anything please do, but let me know! Have you read any of these books? Do you agree with me? Do you disagree? If you are not tagged about, don’t worry you can still do The Summer Reader Tag. Let me know if you do. Let’s Chat!

I love talking so talk to me over on my twitter @angel_reads, Facebook, instagram and Goodreads. You can also follow Angel Reads on Bloglovin and via email (in the sidebar)

    Great post Angel! I’m so excited to read Strange the Dreamer – I’ve heard only good things about it so far and it’s lovely to see that you have high praise for it as well. I’m always on the lookout for a sweet contemporary read, so will definitely need to check out Miranda Kenneally’s books thanks to your recommendation here. Thanks for sharing 🙂

    I think Legend is one of the shadiest characters I’ve ever encountered, and we haven’t even properly met him yet haha.

    I’m happy to hear the world of Strange the Dreamer is so good! With any luck I’ll be losing myself in it next week.

    I’ll probably do this tag at some point!

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?

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.

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? Let me know!
