Latest Additions Added To My Goodreads TBR #2

Latest Additions Added To My Goodreads TBR #2

May 11, 2020 Posted by angelreads Discussions, TBR 1 Comment

Today I thought I would share some of the latest books I’ve added to my Goodreads TBR. I use my Goodreads ‘to be read’ shelf for books that I don’t always own, but I want to try and maybe read. It’s a place for me to keep updated in the books that have caught my eye or are sequels to books that I love and series that I’m reading. 

There is a range of romance and young adult here. But it is mostly romance that normally makes this list. With YA. I normally buy it pretty quickly or know what I want to read. With romance, I normally like to read reviews a little more and have a better understanding before I pick the book up.  Anyway, let’s get into it. Like always these are in no particular order.  

A King So Cold by Ella Fields: I honestly don’t know too much about this one here. It kept on popping up on a couple of my social media feeds and I’m intrigued. This is a new release so I want to wait for a little bit and read some more reviews before I pick this one up. It does sound on the darker side and I’ve had some ups and downs with it recently so I want to wait that little bit longer. But also look at that cover! 

Lust (The Elite Seven #1) by Ker Dukey: This isn’t just the book that has intrigued but the whole series as a whole. I’m interested to see how everything plays out in this series. The reviews and ratings range for each book. Some are higher than others. And I think that I might give this one a go. Soon.

Fire In His Blood (Fireblood Dragon #1) by Ruby Dixon: I spoke about this one briefly in my current Kindle Unlimted books. I’ve been more interested in fantasy romance and I want to read more. And this series came up quite a bit. I don’t know how I’m going to feel about it. But I want to give it a go for sure. 

The Shadows Between Us by Tricia Levenseller: As soon as I read the synopsis of this one I knew that I wanted to pick it up. It sounds right up my alley and something that I love reading in a young adult. It’s been getting mixed reviews, but I’ve got it on loan from my library so I cannot wait to pick it up and see for myself. 

The Happy Ever After Playlist (The Friend Zone #2) by Abby Jimenez: I’ve started to see reviews pop up all over the place of this one and it sounds so good! It sounds adorable and something that I just want to read. Now, I haven’t read the first book in this series, so please tell me if I need to. The first book doesn’t catch me like this one though. 

Hero (Morgan Brothers #1) by Lauren Rowe: This is another book that I spoke about in my KU post. But again, I’m interested in this one. And sometimes I just feel like a general romance book and this one feels like it’s going to be that. And I’ve heard good things about this series as well. 

They Went Left by Monica Hesse: It wasn’t going to be a post from me if it didn’t include a historical fiction novel. This one sounds like it’s going to break me into tiny little pieces, but I’m ready for that. I love reading books set around World War II. It’s something that has always interested me and I can’t wait to read this one.

Date Me, Bryson Keller by Kevin van Whye: I’m not sure I’m ready for all the cuteness of this book. But I also feel that it’s going to hurt. It is just going to give all the emotions. However, this book is either going to go two ways for me. I’m going to love it or I’m going to hate it. But I can’t wait to read it. 

A Lesson in Thorns (Thornchapel #1) by Sierra Simone: I’ve been debating picking up this book and series for some time now. It’s been getting some attention recently and I keep on seeing it. This is another one that I think I will either love or hate. I think I do need to be in the mode for it though. So I might just wait till then.

Meet Cute Club (Sweet Rose #1) by Jack Harbon: I hadn’t heard much about this book until a few weeks ago when it popped up in the ‘Readers Also Enjoyed’ thing on Goodreads. But it sounds adorable and so interesting. I love that is about books and M/M. It sounds like an utterly cute romance and I’m ready for that. 

And that is it for this post! What are some of the books that you have recently added to your Goodreads TBR? Do we share any that is the same? Are you planning on reading any of these books? Have you? Let’s Chat!

    Date Me, Bryson Keller sounds really good! I’ve had my eyes on it as well. I also have a copy of that Monica Hesse book. I hope you enjoy all of these reads!

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!
