Books I’ve Read That I Want To Buy

Books I’ve Read That I Want To Buy

August 27, 2019 Posted by angelreads Features, Top Ten Tuesday 4 Comments

This week I’m sharing with you all the books that I’ve read, but I need to buy and own. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

I’ve read a lot of books over the last 9 years of blogging and many of those books I don’t own. Whether I’ve borrowed books from the library, both physically or through ebook services. And borrowing books from friends or co-workers, and then recently reading books that my work receives as reading copies. So today I thought I would share some of the books that I’ve read, but now I need to buy. 

Anything by Lisa Kleypas. Over the past couple of months, I have slowly been making my way through all her historical fiction and lovely it – so much. But not I need to buy them all – because they are fantastic and I always need them in my life for re-reads. But this is going to take some time – and money because there are heaps. 

Serious Moonlight by Jenn Bennett: I’ve loved every Jenn Bennett book that I’ve read, and it was exactly the same for Serious Moonlight. I was lucky enough to receive an earc of this one, but I need a physical copy for sure. 

You’d Be Mine by Erin Hahn: I love this book so much. I read this late last year and I really want to own a physical copy of this one. I wasn’t expecting to love it as much as I did and it blew me away. A re-read is also in the books for this one. 

Any of Sarina Bowen’s books: If you have known me for a while, then you would know that I love Sarina Bowen. So I want to eventually buy all her books in physical form. They are seriously some of my favourite romance books ever – it will happen. 

All the Rage, Some Girls Are and Cracked Up To Be by Courtney Summers: I love all three of these books. I read them years ago, but I still think about them now. Each one of these novels is impactful and emotional. But I really want to read them again. 

Fight and Glory series by Rebecca Yarros: Again another romance series that I have as ebooks, but really want physical copies. This is one of the first romance series that I read and adored. And I really want to own the series in my hands. 

And that is it for this week! What are some of the books that you’ve read that you want to buy? Do we have any that’s the same? Let’s Chat!

    I have all of LK’s books as ebooks and some as paperbacks, but I definitely want to own all of them at some point. I also have a few by Jenn Bennett, but haven’t had a chance to buy them as hard copies.

    Serious Moonlight sounds really good! I’ll have to check it out. I also like historical fiction so I’ll have to check out some of Lisa Kleypas work. Here is my Top Ten Tuesday.

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?

January was a really solid reading month. I read s January was a really solid reading month. I read some books that had been on my tbr for some time, reread a few things that peaked my interest. I also started a few new series. And just had a good time!
