I Couldn’t Stop Myself | September Haul

I Couldn’t Stop Myself | September Haul

October 4, 2020 Posted by angelreads Book Hauls No Comments

For the most few months I’ve been trying really hard not to buy books. But September I crumbed and bought too many books for my own good. 

I got a lot of books in September. I don’t even know why it kept on happening. But I just couldn’t stop myself from buying more books. There is a mix of YA and romance here. It’s been a while since that has happened. And even though I did buy a fair few books, I’m excited about them all.  

Let’s get into it like always these are in no order. I did buy most of my books this month but I also did get a few for review. 

Physical Books 

Blood & Honey (Serpent & Dove #2) by Shelby Mahurin: Normally I would have picked this one up after a shift at work, but since I’m still not working. It took a little longer for me to pick this one up. I am so glad that I have it now and hope that I can get to it this month. 

A Rogue of One’s Own (A League of Extraordinary Women #2) by Evie Dunmore: This one is similar to Blood & Honey in that it took me a while to get a copy, but I finally did and I’m so excited to read it I adored Bringing Down the Duke, and I’m intrigued to see where the story goes. 

Psy-Changeling #3 – #5 and #10 by Nalini Singh: I’m slowly making my way through this series – or trying to. But I love it so much, and because of that, I’m slowly getting my copies of all the books. I was trying to get them in order. However, I found a cheap copy of book 10 – Kiss of Snow and jumped on it. I’m so ready to keep on reading this series. 

The Duke and I (Bridgertons #1) by Julia Quinn: I’ve been wanting to start this series for ages and since they are expected to release the series this year, I want to get to it before then. I did purchase this one a few months ago. In saying that my copy has yet to arrive, so I grabbed another copy. 

The Governess Game (Girl Meets Duke, #2) by Tessa Dare: After finishing the first book in this series I couldn’t stop myself and had to get all the books that are currently out. I’m so excited to start reading this one.

The Wallflower Wager (Girl Meets Duke #3) by Tessa Dare: This is the last book in the series that is currently out so I grabbed it as well. I adore the covers of this series, they are stunning and now I can look at them all the time.

The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo: I finally got my own copy of The Poet X. I adored this book. Now I have a copy that not only matches my other Elizabeth Acevedo collection. But I have a copy of a book I love. 

The Rogue (Devil’s Duke #1) by Katharine Ashe: I don’t know too much about this one. But it sounds like it’s going to be a blast to read, and I found it for a fantastic price. 

The Earl (Devil’s Duke #2) by Katharine Ashe: I also grabbed the second book as well, because again I think I’m really going to love this series and I couldn’t stop myself with the fantastic price. 

A Most Unlikely Duke (Diamonds in the Rough #1) by Sophie Barnes: I’ve been reading more and more historical romance lately and I wanted to expand my collection and get some new authors. This one sounds like it’s going to be fantastic and I’ve read some great reviews. 

The Match of the Century (Marrying the Duke #1) by Cathy Maxwell: This is another one that I don’t know too much about but it sounds great and I didn’t have the will to stop myself from buying it. And I also blame Ely because I was at hers when I got a batch of these books. 

Storm and Fury (The Harbinger #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout: This book has been on my tbr for a while now. As I’ve started getting back into paranormal/fantasy, it seems the perfect time to pick it up. 

Swing by Kwame Alexander with Mary Rand Hess: This is another one that has been on my wish list for a little while now and I managed to find it for a decent price as well. I’m so excited that I will get to read it. 

Ebooks

Scoring off the Field (WAGS #2) by Naima Simone: After finishing the first book in this series I quickly jumped at getting the rest of them. I enjoyed reading this series a lot and it was a great sports romance. You can check out my series review now.

Scoring the Player’s Baby (WAGS #3) by Naima Simone: As soon as I finished the second book, I quickly jumped onto the third and it was fantastic. It’s my favourite of the series so far, and I’m really excited to read more from Naima Simone. 

Rifts and Refrains (Hush Note #2) by Devney Perry: I bought the second book in this series as soon as it came out. I haven’t read a Deveny Perry before so I didn’t know what to expect. But I’ve already read it and loved it. 

ARCS 

Lies & Lullabies (Hush Note #1) by Sarina Bowen: The Hush Note Series finally came out last month. I received an earc of Lies and Lullabies and read it right away. You can check out my review now.

Muses & Melodies (Hush Note #3) by Rebecca Yarros: I also received an earc of this one and you all know me with my Rebecca Yarros. Again I picked it up as soon as it landed on my kindle and it was fantastic. 

Tempting Lies (Tempt Me #4) by Sara Whitney: This is the last book that I received in September. I reviewed this one recently and it was a surprise with how much I enjoyed reading it. 

And those are all the books I that I picked up in September – I think. I try and keep an eye of what I do buy but sometimes I forget. 

What books did you get in September? Were you like me and couldn’t stop yourself and kept on buying? 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?
