A Month Away | Preparing for My Trip

A Month Away | Preparing for My Trip

May 1, 2019 Posted by angelreads Discussions, Travel 3 Comments

Today I’m posting something a little different. But I thought it would be something to speak with you all about. On the 13th of May, I’m heading on a nearly month adventure overseas. The furthest I’ve ever gone from Australia is Hawaii – which mind you, I love. But this time, I am heading to four new places – yes that is right four. 

Over the 3 and half weeks that I am away I’ll be heading to Denver, Colorado; New York, London and finishing it off in Hong Kong. This trip has been nearly 3 years in the making. The main reasons for this trip is to go to my cousin’s graduation. But with such a long trip in the mix, my aunties and I thought it would be worth it if we added a couple more places to our holiday. And I cannot wait! 

Like I said the only place I’ve been out of Australia is Hawaii. And not only do I get to go overseas, but I also get to go to some of the places that I’ve wanted to visit forever. I’ve always wanted to go to the UK since I can remember really. I don’t just want to go for a visit, but I do want to live there – and I thought that this would be an amazing way for me to see if it’s something that I want to go. Another place that I’ve always wanted to go to is New York – like London it’s a place that I can see myself living in the future. I can’t wait for this trip to begin.

Denver is our first stop on this trip. With a stop over in LA for 6 hours though. My family live in Denver so we are here for the graduation and just to hang out. I haven’t met most of these members of the family, so it’s going to be really nice. They are going to take me around Denver, Shopping and so much more. 

I haven’t planned too much of this trip, my aunties and I have left it all up to my cousin. My only request is to go to some bookstores – which I am so excited about. Denver is going to be a time for family, shopping and a little sightseeing mixed in. We are in Denver for over a week so there is plenty of time to do things. 

Then we are off to New York. I am so excited for New York ahhh! There is so much that I want to do and so little time, but we are going to try and fit everything we can in. The thing that I am most excited for in New York is that I am going to see Hamilton. I can’t even begin to explain how excited I am for this one. 

I also want to visit some bookstores when I’m there, so if you have any recommendations, please give them my way.

London is our next stop and the place that I am looking forward to the most. Going to London has always been a dream for me, and I can finally do it. I do plan to go back in a couple of years to see more of Britain, but for now, it’s a little sampler. 

I’ll be in London for about a week, and I am trying to fit in as much as I can. I’ll be heading to the Harry Potter studios – which I still can’t believe that I am going. I am also going to see Hamilton again, and this time my aunties are coming with me. 

One thing that I can’t contain my excited for is going to the Tower of London. If you didn’t know, I love history. Yes, it might be a strange thing to love. But I love learning about different times in history and how the world worked. One of my favourite times in history to learn about is the mid-to-late 1400’s. It was such an interesting time, and I am totally fascinated by it. 

I will also be heading to Oxford for the day as well as Windsor Castle. It’s going to be a busy week but I am so excited about it. I am also hoping to head to the British Musem and some bookstores along the way. 

Eva Dang

My final stop is Hong Kong and let me tell you, I am so excited about all the food that I will get to eat.  Not only that, it’s totally different from other places that I have been to so that always excites me. I’m only going to be there a couple of days, but at the moment I am planning to visit; Victoria Peak and the Tian Tan Buddha. 

And then I will be back home. It’s going to be the longest time I’ve been away from home, but I am so looking forward to it. What are some recommendations for places to visit, eat and things that you think I might enjoy? Have you been to any of these places? Do you live in any of them? Let’s Chat!

    Denver is my favorite in my city in the US! I love it more than NYC (I’m actually not the biggest NYC fan – it’s TOO EXPENSIVE!) but it’s a city to visit for sure. I hope you have a blast on your trip!

    This will all be so fun! I actually just visited London for the first time a few days ago, and just got back yesterday! The Tower of London is an amazing experience that I truly loved. It was awesome seeing the Crown Jewels – so make sure you do that too while you’re at the tower! I loved the Warner Brothers studio tour too. I could’ve spent all day there! I hope you have fun on this trip!

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!
