May Books I Want To Read

May Books I Want To Read

May 6, 2018 Posted by angelreads Discussions No Comments

There are so many YA and romance books coming out in May that it’s a little crazy, so today I thought I would share some May releases that I cannot wait to pick it. While I might not be able to read them this month, I hope I can soon. Like always these are in no order. 

May Books 2018

 

The Burning Maze by Rick Riordan: There is no surprise that this one is on my list. This is book 3 in the Trail of Apollo series and I am so ready to see what happens next. I completely forgot it was coming out in May, but I am so ready to read it. 

 

 

 

 

 

May Books 2018

 

 

Royals (Royals #1) by Rachel Hawkins: There has been so hype around this one that I feel like need to pick it up. In saying that, it sounds like my type of book and that just works perfectly. It’s romance, it’s about royalty and it sounds kick-ass. I am just so ready for it.  

 

 

 

 

 

Speakeasy (True North #5) by Sarina Bowen: Another one that no one should not be surprised is on my list. I have nearly read all of Sarina’s books, I think I have 1 or 2 published books that I haven’t read it. It will happen. I adore the Truth North series and since May entered in book 1, I wanted to know more about her. And her is the chance!  

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Brightsiders by Jen Wilde: I didn’t realise Jen was bringing out another book yet, so when I saw this I nearly screamed. I loved Queens of Geek, and if you haven’t read it, you should. Again another book that sounds right up my alley. It’s full of romance, fun, music, and diversity. Gimmie already. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Leaving Everest by Megan Westfield: I hadn’t heard about this books, until the other day and now I am really intrigued. It’s a romance that including climbing Mount Everest. It just sounds like something I might enjoy. In saying that I haven’t heard about the author either – so it might be a dud. We will see.  

 

 

 

 

 

LIFEL1K3 (Lifelike #1) by Jay Kristoff: I haven’t read a book that Jay has written by himself before, so I am really hoping that I will like it because I really do like Jay and the Illunamie files. This one is out in Australia at the start of May, with the US and UK getting it at the end. 

 

 

 

 

I also wanted to mention a couple of May books that I have already read and love. Fighting for Everything by Laura Kaye, and Allied (Ruined #3) by Amy Tintera. I have reviews for both of these coming soon – and let’s just say I loved them both. 

What are some of the books that you cannot wait to read in May? Do we share any of the same? Let’s Chat!

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?
