Should I Read These Books?

Should I Read These Books?

October 12, 2020 Posted by angelreads Discussions 1 Comment

Today I need your help. There are some books that I can’t decide if I should read. They have either been on my TBR for a while or I can’t figure out if I should buy a copy. So I thought I should bring it out to you. 

These books are on this list because I can’t work out if I still want to read them. Or they have been on either my physical or Goodreads tbr for some time now and I can’t figure out if I should read the book. There’s a mix of YA and Romance on this list as well as a mix of subgenres. But I could use your help in deciding if I should them. Anyway, let’s get into it. 

In Honor by Jessi Kirby: This has been on my Goodreads TBR for a long time now. And I don’t want to remove it. It sounds exactly like a book that I will love. It has the tropes that I adore and I want to give it a chance. As well as some decent reviews. If you have read this, do you think it’s something I will enjoy? 

Tone Deaf by Olivia Rivers: This is another one that I don’t own yet, but has been on my tbr for a while. It has disability representation and that sounds fantastic. This is one of the books that are most likely going to stay on my list. 

Red Rising (Red Rising Saga #1) by Pierce Brown: This is a strange one, I’ve tried to read it once before and got about 50% and then I had to put it down for other reasons and then never picked it back up. I was enjoying it, but it also confused me. I’m not really sure where I sit on this one. 

Wilder Girls by Rory Power: This is one I’ve been questioning since it came out. It’s not my usual thing but I have also heard some amazing things about it. I think it would be a great read for this time of year but would love to hear what you think. 

This Savage Song (Monsters of Verity #1) by Victoria Schwab: I’ve read books from Schwab before and enjoyed them quite a bit. But this series is a little different and I’m still not certain how I feel about it. I have both books in the series though. 

Spellslinger (Spellslinger #1) by Sebastien de Castell: This is again another one that has been on my tbr for some time now. Fantasy is a strange one for me. I go through phases where it’s all I read and then I don’t read it for months. What did you think of this series? 

Aurora Rising (The Aurora Cycle #1) by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff: I’m not a massive science fiction reader. I don’t read it that often, but this one caught my eye right away. It sounds like something that I would enjoy – I have a copy. I’m just nervous to pick it up. 

Beautiful Bastard (Beautiful Bastard #1) by Christina Lauren: I have had this one for years! And I mean years. I picked it up when I first started reading romances but never read it. I’m waiting to read some Christina Lauren and I think this is a great one to start with. What do you think? 

Whisper to Me by Nick Lake: This is another one that I don’t know if I should read. It sounded interesting when I got it, and I’m still intrigued. But I haven’t been reading a lot of contemporary YA recently so I’m unsure. 

Grace and Fury (Grace and Fury #1) by Tracy Banghart: This is another one that I bought because I heard some good things about it. But haven’t thought much about it since. It still sounds interesting but not sure if I should pick it up.  

And that is it for today’s post! Have you read any of these books? Should I keep them on my TBR and read them soon? Let me know.

    I was all ready to help you, but I’ve only read two books from this list: In Honor and Beautiful Bastard. Both are fantastic and I highly recommend!

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!
