A Little Haul |August Book Haul

A Little Haul |August Book Haul

September 2, 2020 Posted by angelreads Book Hauls No Comments

It’s time for August Book Haul Time. August was a so so month for me. I purchased a good chunk of books, but I also had a lot finally arrive as well. Compared to some of my montly purchases it’s a little haul for me. They have mostly been romances. As they are harder for me to get from work and I’ve had to source them from other places. 

Anyhow, I think it’s a good mix of historical and contemporary romances. They are a few that I purchased physical copies of that I had already read and loved. Enough talk, like always these are in no order. 

Visions of Heat (Psy-Changeling #2) by Nalini Singh: Even before reading the first book. I wanted to have the second on hand. And I’m so glad that I did. Because I picked it up as soon as I finished book 1. Would you like to see a series review of these as I read them? Let me know. 
 
The Duchess Deal (Girl Meets Duke #1) by Tessa Dare: I finally got another Tessa Dare this month. I’ve been meaning to pick another one of her books up and I finally did. I’m excited to read it soon. This one sounds fantastic and I’ve heard so many good things. 
 
Brazen and the Beast (The Bareknuckle Bastards #2) by Sarah MacLean: After finishing the first book in this series I knew that I wanted to pick up the rest right away. I feel in love with all the characters from the first book and I’m excited to see where it’s taken here. 
 
Daring and the Duke (The Bareknuckle Bastards #3) by Sarah MacLean: I knew that I would want to binge read the rest of the series. So I picked up the last book as well. I’m intrigued by this one a lot. It’s about the main ‘villain’ and that I find very interesting. 
 
The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune: I think you should all know by now how much I loved this book. But if you don’t. It’s one of my favourite books that I read this year, if not one of my favourite books of all time. My physical copy arrived just before we went into stage 4 lockdown and I just love looking at it. 
 
Someone to Watch Over Me (Bow Street Runners #1) by Lisa Kleypas: I’ve been slowly making my way through Lisa Kleypas and this is the next series that I want to pick up. I’m excited to try something new from her and I hope that I like it as much as her other books. 
 
A Rogue by Any Other Name (The Rules of Scoundrels #1) by Sarah MacLean: I couldn’t help myself and picked up the first book in another series from Sarah MacLean. I can’t wait. This one sounds excited. 
 
Royal Brotherhood #1 – #3 by Sabrina Jeffries: After finishing Sabrina Jeffries Duke Dynasty series. I knew that I wanted to read more from her. So I deiced to pick this series up. I’m a massive binge reader, especially when it comes to romance. So I just got all 3. Deliveries at the moment are pretty bad, so it was just easier this way. 
 
Full Measures (Flight & Glory #1) by Rebecca Yarros: Guess what all? I’m finally getting my physical copies of this series. Do you know how hard and expensive it is to get in Australia? But I took the plunge. 
 
Eyes Turned Skyward (Flight & Glory #2) by Rebecca Yarros: I ended up getting the first two books. I’m slowly going to get the next few books. But just going to take it a few months at a time. Because like I said expensive! But this is one of my favourite romance series so I don’t care. 
 
Scoring With the Wrong Twin (WAGS #1) by Naima Simone: I don’t know too much about this one, but I saw it on twitter and it caught my eye. You know I’m a sucker for sports romances. And I’ve heard good things about Naima Simone. I’ve just started it and I’m liking it so far. 
 
 
And those are the books that I got in August! After writing this post it does seem like a lot of books. But compared to the rest of the year. This was okay. Plus I paid for 9 I think this month. The rest I’ve just been waiting for. 
 
What did you get last month? Have you read any of the books that I got in August? Let’s Chat!

April was a very good reading month for me, especi April was a very good reading month for me, especially after last month. I had some really fantastic reads in April. I did do a lot of re-reading this month but I had such blast. I re-read Caught Up and Play Along and the first 4 books in the Ironside Academy series. 📚

I read some books that I’ve been waiting for including the new book from Kels and Denise Stone, as well as the new Tessa Hale. ✨

Overall it was such a good month, lots of binge reading series and starting on some new authors. I’m so excited to see what May brings. 🖤

What was your favourite book that you read in April?

IT’S RACE WEEK! 🏎️ If you didn’t know al IT’S RACE WEEK! 🏎️

If you didn’t know already I love F1, have ever since I was younger and decided that this year it would be fun to combined my love for F1 and reading together. 📚

After a week off we are back at it. We are in Miami this week’s and things are only just heating up. This week I’m reading Falling Off the Cliff  Kanitha P.

…

Formula 1 legend in the making and rising star Thiago Valencia is chasing redemption as well as his second World Champion title. With a tarnished reputation and an undetermined future in F1 that hangs by a terribly loose thread, he can’t afford to lose his seat. Thiago is ready to do anything to redeem himself and erase his past mistakes. When a mysterious woman intrudes on his private party in Monte Carlo, he is certain the universe has brought his polar opposite into his life as salvation. He is sunshine, she is moonlight; he is a bright star and she is a moonbeam.

Destiny takes the wheel, steering Kamari into Thiago’s orbit, but her open disdain and closely guarded heart warn her to stay away. Enchanted by her charms, Thiago is intent on melting her freezing barriers and tearing down the walls shielding her heart.

When Kamari agrees to help him save his future by being his fake girlfriend, the unexpected happens, triggered by a game of lies, secrets and desire.

As they plunge towards the finish line, the race veers offtrack and neither of them are ready to fall off the cliff.
… 

How Race Week Reads Will Work 

On Monday of race week I’ll announce the book I’ll be reading for the week, then throughout the week I’ll be posting stories and my thoughts. And then on Sunday, race day my review and final thoughts will go up.

A little late but I am finally getting to share Ra A little late but I am finally getting to share Race 5’s Race Week Reads review. This week I read, Downforce (Pit Lane #1) by Hannah Lily.

🏎️ Review 🏎️

I had so much fun reading this book. I knew I was in for a ride as soon as I started Downforce. It was entertaining, fun, and I just had a good time reading it. And while it does explore some heavy topics, I don’t think it took away from the fun nature of the book.

Right from the start, we can see the tension between F1 Presenter, Olivia Fraser and F1 Driver, Jonah Scott. And while silly at times, it was fun seeing them interact together. Both really didn’t like each other. They both had said things about and to one another that sometimes it caused chaos. And I was here for it.

I did find that at times, just silly things happened. I am not a massive rom-com reader, and there was a lot of falling into one another, and arguments stemmed from nothing. This is honestly just because I don’t like these types of scenes, but it didn’t really make me dislike the book at all.

I loved the whole road trip aspect of the book, it’s different from other F1 books I’ve read so far this year and just made for some interesting banter and lust. I do wish that the road trip was a little longer than it was because I did feel like the romance moved pretty quickly here, but again, it didn’t really affect how much I was enjoying the book.

The romance was this combination of being slow burn and full of angst right at the start, to the road trip happening and then bam. But I loved it, though. The banter between Olivia and Jonah was fantastic. I loved seeing them grow not only with one another but with themselves as well.

Overall, I had a great time reading Downforce and will be continuing the series for sure when the other books come out. The romance was angsty and just felt right. The found family aspect really worked well here, and the F1 aspects were pretty okay. Not the best I’ve seen, but not the worst either. If you are looking for a fun read that has a great romance and a little rom-comy, then pick this one up.
I’ve already had a pretty amazing reading year. I’ve already had a pretty amazing reading year. There have been so many books that I have enjoyed but there are some that I have just loved. 🖤

I didn’t realise before I put this post together that all of these books are from authors I’ve read and loved before. There hasn’t been a Rebecca Yarros book that I haven’t rated under 4 Stars. Elsie Silver is just making me love everything that she writes. Wild and Wrangled may be my favourite in the series. 📖

Three rereads also made it to this list. Binding 13 still makes me gasp and smile all at the same time. And Caught Up and Play Along just hit every time. 📚

I’ve honestly had a great year so far and since making this post a few more books I’ve read I’ve ended up loving. It’s going to be hard to pick my favourites at the end of the year that is for sure. ✨

What books have you loved reading this year? Are any books that made my list on yours? Let me know!
