When You Read All Month | April Wrap Up

When You Read All Month | April Wrap Up

April 30, 2020 Posted by angelreads Monthly Wrap Up 2 Comments

After a slower reading month for me in March, things really picked up for me in April and I’m so glad. Most of the month I read a range of romance with a little MG thrown in there. And I think that is what I needed. Reading romance is a great outlet for me and I don’t normally have to think too much when reading them – which is fantastic. 

Anyway, here are all the 35 books that I read in April. Like always these are in no order. 

Steadfast (True North #2) by Sarina Bowen: I felt like a reread of this one from the series. I’m not even sure why. It is one of my favourites though. This one is an emotional read, but I still really enjoy it a lot. I just love Jude so much. 

The One You Can’t Forget (The Ones Who Got Away #2) by Roni Loren: I’m slowly making my way through this series and I’m loving it. But it’s hard to read. I normally love binge reading series – which you will see today. But I just can’t do it with this one. It deals with such a hard topic and each book is emotional as hell. But, also so good. 

Irresistible (Cloverleigh Farms #1) by Melanie Harlow: I really felt like a good romance with a single parent and this one popped up in my searches. And I’m really glad that it did. I liked this one a whole lot. It was such a fun read and I loved seeing all the character fall in love with one another. I loved the relationship between the two protagonist and his kids – it melted me. 

Undeniable (Cloverleigh Farms #2) by Melanie Harlow: Yes I kept on reading this series. It’s all on Kindle Unlimited, so it was so easy. I adored this one so much. It features a second chance romance, as well as love to hate. Come on! It was such a fun read. And the romance was adorable.  

Storm (Storm MC #1) by Nina Levine: Another romance subgenre I’ve been really into lately is MC romances. And this one came up as a recommendation. And the second book in the series was a single parent. It was a bad decision. This one was bad. Really bad. I’ve read a lot of MC romances now and this one has to one of the worst. 

Insatiable (Cloverleigh Farms #3) by Melanie Harlow: This one is a friends to lovers romances and this one is hella adorable. Not my favourite in the series, but I still really enjoyed it. Noah and Meg just fit really well and I loved getting to see them find out things about one another.  

Unbreakable (Cloverleigh Farms #4) by Melanie Harlow: This one is the last in the series that is out so far and like the others, I enjoyed it a lot. This one melted me so much. It’s a single parent romance that was done well. It explored the ups and downs of divorce and everything that follows. As well as looking into starting a new family. It was so good! 

Fierce (Storm MC #2) by Nina Levine: I don’t know why I continued. I really don’t. Maybe I wanted to see if it got any better. But it didn’t. Not at all. 

Wind Dragons MC #1-3 by Chantal Fernando: I wanted to read a good MC romance, so I picked up one I’d read before and dug into a few in the series. Some of the things that happen in these are ridiculous. But I love it. That is what I feel an MC romance is. I think my favourite of these 3 has to be Dragon’s Liar. 

 

Percy Jackson and the Olympians 1-5 by Rick Riordan: I’ve been wanting to do a re-read of this series for some time now. And my siblings were watching the movies and I couldn’t help and start the series again. And I’m so glad that I did. Seriously it’s just fantastic. And if you haven’t read it. Please do. It was such a great time being back in this world. And truly reminded me why I love it so much. 

Luna and the Lie by Mariana Zapata: I’ve wanted to pick up a Mariana Zapata for some time now. And after watching a couple of videos from PeaceLoveBooksxo. I thought I would give this one a go. Overall I did enjoy this one, however, I thought it was way too long. I felt at times that things did drag on and I was just waiting and waiting for things to happen. I do want to try more from her though. 

Shameless (Texas Nights #1) by Lex Martin: This is another author that I’ve seen pop up a lot with romance bloggers and I felt that this one was my kind of thing. And I’m so happy that I picked it up! The romance was adorable. It melted my heart so much. I loved seeing both Brady and Katherine trying to figure everything out. I loved seeing Brady with the baby. It was adorable. I don’t know if I will continue with the series yet. But I enjoyed this one. 

Becker Brothers #1-4 by Kandi Steiner: I didn’t know too much about this series before I started. But they were such a good time. I loved the overall mystery surrounding the family and that was threaded through all of the books. The romances were all fantastic and I just had a good time. 

Knights Rebels MC #1-3 by River Savage: I again feel into the MC romance. While this wasn’t as bad as some I’d already read this one. It wasn’t the best. However, I still enjoyed each one that I read and will continue reading the series as each book comes out. 

The Fallen Men #1-4 by Giana Darling: This is another author that has been on my radar for some time now. But again didn’t really know where to start. But since I was in the mood for MC romances, I thought it was a perfect time. And I love this series. It’s not for the faint-hearted, but it was such good fun. And it did rip me apart, a little. I can’t wait to read more. 

Hades Hangmen #1-5 by Tillie Cole: This isn’t a series that I would recommend to everyone. It’s hard to read most of the time and there is a lot of questionable things that happen throughout the novel. But I found that all intriguing. It’s a MC romance for sure. If you love your MC romance and are okay reading things that are really tough and not great – then go for this one. If not – stay away. 

 

 

And that is everything that I read this April! It was a strong reading month for me, with a lot of romance reads. I think next month will be very similar as well, cause it’s what I’m in the mood for. What did you read this April, anything the same? Let’s Chat!

    Oh my gosh, that is so many books. Haha. Not gonna lie I’m a little jealous. Things did not go as planned in April for me. I’ve been wanting to reread the Percy Jackson series as well! I just need to actually get myself a copy.

March was a better reading month than February for March was a better reading month than February for me, and while I’m still stuck in my heated rivalry fanfiction era I managed to scrap out of it a little this month. 

I reread four books from the sweet omegaverse series and honestly had the best time. I also read two of my most anticipated reads of the year and had a blast. Sadly I did also have my first dnf of the year.

What did you read this March? Any standouts? What are you looking forward to reading in April? 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?

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!

I just had a really good start to the year. While February is a little slow so far I’m looking forward to what I can pick up.
