In A Little Slump | March Wrap Up

In A Little Slump | March Wrap Up

April 2, 2019 Posted by angelreads Monthly Wrap Up 1 Comment

I knew I was going into this reading slump, I could feel it. I never really plan what books I am going to read each month, most of the time, I read whatever I am feeling like. If there is a new release or a review book that I need to read that is really the only certainty. But my reading in March was just slow for me. I was really busy with work, life was a little crazy, and I just didn’t know what to read. 

But anyway, I ended up reading 7 books in March, and I only loved about 2 of them. So I was having a pretty bad month even with the books that I was reading. Anyway, here are the books that I read in March. 

Defending Morgan (Mountain Mercenaries #3) by Susan Stoker: I really wanted to like this one, but I just couldn’t get into it. I liked the concept of the novel. But I felt that the characters were all one dimensional and I didn’t feel like they had substance. I could feel the connection between Arrow and Morgan a little, but it just all went way to fast. Everything just feels flat to me. I also have no idea what I kept on reading. 

Lover at Last (Black Dagger Brotherhood #11) by J.R. Ward: I thought I had read this one, but I hadn’t. In saying that I really wanted to love this one. As soon as these characters were introduced, I need to know their story. But I didn’t love it as much as I wanted to. I was really disappointed that this one wasn’t a story solely about Qhuinn and Blay. I think they both deserved that. Nevertheless, the parts that were about Qhuinn and Blay were really good. I loved getting to know them ever more and loved seeing them together – finally. 

Mac (Desert Sinners MC, #1) by Rachel Lyn Adams: I didn’t hate this one, I didn’t. But I also didn’t like it. There were some parts of this book that didn’t really sit with me. I have read some really good motorcycle club books over the past couple of years, I’ve also read some pretty bad ones. And Mac sits in the middle. There were some parts that I really enjoyed and other parts turned me off. Nevertheless, I might continue this series in the future, but I am not sure. 

Brick (Cooper Construction #1) by Jen Davis: Like with motorcycle club books, I’ve also read a range of  ‘gang’ books. And this one has to be one my less favourite. I am not even sure why I kept on reading. It wasn’t for me at all. I just didn’t like the protagonists, the characters, the plot. Nothing really. 

Extra Credit: Three Ivy Years Novellas (The Ivy Years #6) by Sarina Bowen: I had already read two of these Novella’s before, but I decided to re-read them both and read the newest edition from Sarina Bowen. And can I just say that I adored it so much? Yesterday would have to be my favourite of the three. It was fantastic seeing John and Graham again. 

Eyes on Me by Rachel Harris: Was a fantastic read. It’s a lighthearted romance novel that explores friendship, new romances, but also looks at grief and learning to overcome it. The writing was easy to read and the romance was just adorable. Rachel Harris has a knack for writing very real characters and she does it yet again in Eyes on Me. Read my full review.

Coming Up for Air (Hundred Oaks) by Miranda Kenneally: It was a little bittersweet reading the final book in this series as I have been reading it for some time now. But Coming up For Air was a great way to finish it all off. It explores coming of age, being a teen and looking into the future. You will laugh, you will smile and you might even cry. Maggie and Levi are adorable together, but also have fantastic character arcs of their own. If you are looking for a cute, quick read, then this one if for you. You can check out my full review now. 

 

And that is it! While march was a downer, April is already looking up for me. What did you read in March? What was your favourite and less favourite read? Let’s Chat!

    I’m so sorry to hear you had a bad reading month! I definitely relate though, February for me was horrible. Thankfully, March was better and I hope April is better for you! My favorite read from last month was You’d Be Mine by Erin Hahn.

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?
