April Book Haul | Recent Books I Have Bought

April Book Haul | Recent Books I Have Bought

April 23, 2020 Posted by angelreads Book Hauls 2 Comments

I don’t do many book hauls on here, simply because I buy a lot of books through work and never really remember when I buy things. But today I thought I would share some of my recent buys. I mostly buy either from my store if it’s a physical book or from amazon for ebooks and most of my romances. 

I try and limit the books I buy, but that never really works out for me. Honestly, I have no control and I’m always buying books. But anyway here are the latest books that I have bought. As always these are in no order. 

Check, Please!, Book 2: Sticks & Scones (Check, Please! #3-4) by Ngozi Ukazu: I’ve been waiting months for the second issue to come out. I read the first Check, Please earlier this year and fell in love. I had so much fun reading it and I couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen next. And this one came into work last weeks and I got it right away. 

Only Mostly Devastated by Sophie Gonzales: I picked this one up a couple of weeks ago and I’ve already read it. It’s fantastic! It was such a fun and emotional read and I really hope more people get a chance to read it. And it’s a #LoveOzYA so get on it. 

Heartstopper: Volume One (Heartstopper #1) by Alice Oseman: I’ve been waiting to pick this series up for some time now. I’ve read a couple of Alice Oseman’s books before and really enjoyed and I’ve heard some really good things about these graphic novels. 

Heartstopper: Volume Two (Heartstopper #2) by Alice Oseman: I know that once I finish volume one, I would want to keep on reading so I picked up the second volume as well. I just couldn’t help myself and we have them both in stock. So it wasn’t a hard decision. 

There Was Still Love by Favel Parrett: I had seen this one floating around but it never really caught my eye. I did some more research, and it sounded like something that I might enjoy.  And then my best friend Ely read it, loved it and talked about it a whole lot. And that is always a good indication for me.  

The One You Can’t Forget (The Ones Who Got Away #2) by Roni Loren: I read the first in this series not too long ago and really enjoyed it a lot. And I knew that I needed to pick up the rest in the series. So I tracked down the rest of the books that I didn’t have. I’ve already read this one and loved it so much. 

The One for You (The Ones Who Got Away #4) by Roni Loren: This was the last one that I needed to get from this series and now I’ve got them all and cannot wait. I do have to wait a little while between the books though because gosh do they tear me apart. 

Fix Her Up (Hot & Hammered #1) by Tessa Bailey: I have heard a lot about this book and this series and when I saw it in the shop I couldn’t myself and bought it. I’m a sucker for romance like this. It uses one of my favourite romance tropes and sounds adorable! I cannot wait to read it. 

Incandescent (Knights Rebels MC #1) by River Savage: I didn’t know too much about this one when I got it. I first saw it in a video I was watching. And I’ve been in the mood for MC romances lately and this one sounded interesting. 

 

And those are some of the books that I’ve bought recently. What are some of the books that you have bought? Do we share any that is the same? Let’s Chat!

    The only book I’ve read that you have on your haul list is Fix Her Up and it was… okay. It didn’t blow me away but I did find it pretty entertaining. I’d just heard a lot of hype about it, but it didn’t end up being entirely the type of romance I was in the mood for at the time. Hopefully you have better luck with it!

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?
