Things I’m Loving at the Moment

Things I’m Loving at the Moment

June 24, 2020 Posted by angelreads Discussions, Recommendations 2 Comments

I don’t talk about non-book stuff or general life things much on here. So today I thought I would share some of the things that I’m loving at the moment. Some of these things are bookish related, some aren’t. I just wanted to share my love for things that I am doing, watching, reading and everything else there is. 

Audiobooks: I’ve listened to a couple of audio here and there before but it isn’t something that I did on a regular. But I recently listen to Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo and adored it. If you haven’t read it, please do listen to it. Because it’s without a doubt one of the best audios I’ve listened to. You can check my full review and see why I loved it so much. And since then I’ve listened to a few more. I’m liking to listen to them while I write posts or just when I’m doing things around the house. So if you have any recommendations then please give them to me. 

Crossstitch: I’ve posted about this on twitter a little bit, but I’ve loved doing cross-stitch recently. It was something that I had wanted to do for a while and finally got the chance to do it. I love it so much. It’s a great thing to do while I’m watching videos and just chilling. It’s very relaxing and just lets me not think about other things going on. Nearly my whole family has been doing it as well, so it’s been a great family thing. The design I have gotten are so adorable!

Instagram Lives: I normally don’t watch too many Instagram lives, but recently there have been more and more from people that I follow and they have been fantastic. Someone that I have been loving is Arama from amaraluciano_. If you haven’t had the chance to catch Amara on either Amara’s own Instagram or the scrivener_app Instagram. Amara is informative, funny and just great to watch and interact with.

Supernatural: I’m doing another rewatch of Supernatural. I haven’t caught up with the last few series, so I wanted to do a re-watch. I just love it so much. If you don’t know me, I don’t like horror, I hate it. But supernatural does it in a way that I can watch it and not be terrified. It’s a good combo of being funny and scary at the same time. I’m on to season 7 at the moment and can’t wait to get to more current seasons.

I also want to highlight my Beta Reading service that I’m offering. It’s another thing that I love doing. And wanted to share it with you all. 

And those are some of the things that I’m loving at the moment. What are some of the things that you have been loving recently? Let’s Chat!

    I’ve been wanting to get into cross-stitching. I need a hobby that does not involve a screen. I’m glad you’re having a good time with it!

    Thanks for the recommendation of the audio for Poet X. I read one of this authors other books and loved it but haven’t listened to one yet.

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?
