Last 5 Books That I Have Read

Last 5 Books That I Have Read

June 23, 2017 Posted by angelreads Discussions, OZYA 5 Comments

Last 5 Books I've Read BannerToday I thought I would share the last five books that I have read. Reading was a little slow in the month of May. I just finished from uni, starting my new job at a bookstore and needed a good great. I think I read maybe one book in those weeks. But the last couple of weeks I’ve gotten back into the reading groove. So here are the last five books that I have read.

So here are the last five books that I have read. These are in order from the latest read. You can follow me on Goodreads to keep updated with what I am reading. 

One Small Step…: A #LoveOzYA  Short Story by Amie Kaufman: I’ve started to slowly read Begin, End, Begin: A #LoveOzYA Anthology. And one story in and I am already loving it. I’ve read a couple of books already by Amie Kaufman and this one just took me right in. I’ll be reviewing the whole anthology soon, so keep your eye on it. What is your favourite story from the anthology? 

Last Books Read - LoveOzYA

Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare: I am doing a re-read with Ely from Tea and Titles and though we are a little behind, I was finally about to read Clockwork Prince and just feel in love again. Gosh, I seriously forgot how much I love this trilogy. Check out my review with Ely on Clockwork Angel. 

Her Outback Cowboy by Annie Seaton:  I find that a contemporary novel is always great for getting out of a reading slump and while I didn’t love this one. It did help me get straight back into reading. It was a quick read, and it’s set in Australia so that was a plus | Review. 

Into Your Arms by Chelsea M. Cameron:  While this was another disappointing read, I pushed through it and like Her Outback Cowboy it started to get me out of a reading slump. It’s was again a quick read that I cruised through in a couple of hours. 

Last 5 Reads - Lord of Shadows

Lord of Shadows by Cassandra Clare:  This was the source of my reading slump – but not in a bad way.  It was just so good that I all I did was think about it. I had so many thoughts going through my head that I couldn’t stop thinking about. And there are still heaps going through my mind, that I just want to talk with everyone about it | Review.

And that is it! What are the books that you last read? Do we share any that is the same? What do you do to get out of a reading slump? What is the book that you are planning to read next? Let’s Chat! 

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

    I thought that One Small Step… was a strong starting point for the anthology. I didn’t expect to care for the characters like I did. 🙂 And the female love aspect was just so sweet and lovely. I loved quite a few of them: you can check out my review. 😉

    I haven’t read any of those, although I have the Clockwork Princess on my shelf.

    I haven’t read most of these – I mean, I think I’ve read Cassandra Clare’s books but unfortunately, I can’t remember what happened. I do remember that I quite enjoyed them though! To get out of a reading slump I generally turn my attention to something else. This can include graphic novels, youtube etc and this can often help with my motivation.

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?
