Books I Want To Read Soon

Books I Want To Read Soon

August 24, 2020 Posted by angelreads TBR 3 Comments

Today I thought I would share the books that I would like to read soon. These are the books that are next of tbr pile. The ones that I want to pick up next. I thought this would be a fun way to share a little on what I’m planning to read, but also get you all to help me pick some of my next reads. 

Lately, I’ve been struggling with what to pick up next. I just don’t know what I feel like, so if you could help me pick something that I could read soon that would be fantastic. Anyway, here we go. 

Brazen and the Beast (The Bareknuckle Bastards #2) by Sarah MacLean: I read the first book in this series a little while ago and I want to continue reading this series for sure. I’m so intrigued to see where this all goes. I’ve heard nothing but good things about this series as a whole and I’m excited to continue. 

In the Prince’s Bed (Royal Brotherhood #1) by Sabrina Jeffries: A few months ago I read a Sabrina Jeffries series and fell in love. So, of course, I had to get another one. This series sounds so interesting and I’m excited to go in and more some more from an author that has caught my eye. 

The Midnight Lie (The Midnight Lie #1) by Marie Rutkoski: I bought this one a few months ago now and I need to get onto reading. I’ve loved reading Marie Rutkoski before and this one sounds so interesting. I’ve heard good things about it already and it sounds like it’s exactly what I love. I also haven’t picked up a fantasy in a little bit. 

Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds: I haven’t picked this one up yet as I knew I need to be in the right space to do it. I think I’m in that spot now and can’t wait to start it soon. It sounds interesting and intriguing and I can’t wait to read more poetry. 

With the Fire on High by Elizabeth Acevedo: This is another one that I’ve had for a little while. When I read The Poet X I cried like a baby and I need to be ready for that again. I like that this one is a little different but I love that as well. Hopefully, I can get to this one in the coming month. 

Only When It’s Us (Bergman Brothers #1) by Chloe Liese: I don’t know too much about this week. The second book in this series caught my eye first and then I read the synopsis of this one and knew I needed to jump on it. I’m excited to pick this one up soon. It just sounds like an awesome sports romance. 

 

And that is it for today’s post! What are some of the books that you want to get to soon? Have you read any of the books on my list? What do you suggest I pick up next? Let’s Chat!

    I’m excited for you to read more of Sarah’s series! It’s one of my favorite and it definitely gets better as the series progresses.
    I read The Midnight Lie a couple of weeks ago and it wasn’t my favorite. I enjoyed the characters but wanted a little bit more. I will pick up the sequel though because the book ended on a strong and interesting note.
    Also, I reviewed Only When It’s Us on the blog today. I loved that book!

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!
