Books I Love To Read This Time Of Year

Books I Love To Read This Time Of Year

December 8, 2020 Posted by angelreads Top Ten Tuesday 5 Comments

This week it’s a holiday freebie so I’m sharing the books I love to read this time of year.  Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

I don’t read many holiday-related books. I’m not too sure why. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that where I live, it’s summer during Christmas. And I’ve never had the chance to experience a white Christmas. So today I thought I would share some of the books that I like to read and re-read this time of year. 

A Wallflower Christmas (Wallflowers #4.5) by Lisa Kleypas: I mean what is more perfect than reading a Lisa Kleypas historical romance set around Christmas? I adore this one and I think it’s going to one that I will re-read often. 

Life on the Edge (Edge #1) by Jennifer Comeaux: I don’t know what it is about this series that makes me want to re-read it during the holiday period. Maybe because it has to be with figure-skating, and then that makes me think of snow. There are also some Christmas scenes in it as well. But this is such a fun series and I love re-reading it. 

North of Need (Hearts of the Anemoi #1) by Laura Kaye: I’ve read a chuck on Laura Kaye and this is the first of her paranormal/fantasy that I picked up. It’s great, I had a blast reading it and I need to continue with the rest of the series for sure. 

Pushing the Limits (Pushing the Limits #1) by Katie McGarry: I tend to do a lot of re-reading at the end of the year, not totally sure why I do it. But I do. And Katie McGarry is someone I love to read it. And this series, especially the first book is one I adore. It’s one of the books that got me reading more and more romance. I always love a bad boy. 

Rookie Move (Brooklyn Bruisers #1) by Sarina Bowen: This is another favourite of mine that I love to re-read. It’s such a fun series, and this first book just hits all the right places. I adore the romance, I love the characters and it has ice hockey so why not? 

The Duke and I (Bridgertons #1) by Julia Quinn: Historical romances are some of my favourite things to read this time of year. I’m normally so busy with work, that heavy high fantasies are just hard to read and I can’t keep focus. But HR novels are perfect and this series has been a gem reading this year and I can’t wait to read more.   

Check, Please! Book 1: # Hockey (Check, Please! #1-2) by Ngozi Ukazu: As I said before December is normally a very busy month work-wise for me. So graphic novels are a great way for me to still read, but not be tied down by a book. This has to be one of my favourite graphic novels series ever. It just makes me smile and feel so happy. 

Full Measures (Flight & Glory #1) by Rebecca Yarros: This is another one I love re-reading this time of year. I’m not sure why it happens but Rebecca Yarros just knows how to hit all the right places. And this book right here is what started it all.  The romance, the heartbreak and heartache. But then, the hope. Oh gosh. 

The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune: At this time of year, I like to read books that just make me happy. And this is one of them for sure. I am sure that you are getting sick of me talking about this one, but it’s fantastic and I will never stop. But if you are looking for a book that will just make you smile. Then this is it. 

And that is it for this week’s Top Ten Tuesday! What books do you love to read this time of year? Do we share any that is the same? Let’s Chat!

    We don’t get a lot of winter here either! Still, I love imagining myself in a beautiful snowy spot.

    I love that you included The House in the Cerulean Sea. There’s something to be said for just reading a book that makes you happy … especially after a year like this!

Yeah, this is what I wanted. I really enjoyed Vict Yeah, this is what I wanted. I really enjoyed Victoria Wilder’s Bourbon Boys series, and as soon as I heard she was writing a new series, around whiskey and women. Well, hell year. It took me a little bit to get into the book, but after a few chapters, I was hooked. 

Wyn is hiding, hiding from everyone, even when she is there. She is hiding behind so much, and damn, I don’t blame her. We don’t know everything from the start, but we start piecing things together, and my heart broke. And I was terrified for her. But she is a Crowne woman, and that means something. 

We’ve met Julian before, and while he intrigued me before, I am invested now. He is charming, secretive in the best way and will do anything at this point for Wyn. But he is also lost, and somehow he finds his way to Rumour and back into Wyn’s life. 

The romance is hot and steamy and everything that you want. The tension and chemistry in this one is high. Neither Wyn nor Julian wants to really give in or give up on one another, but a lot is standing in their way, honestly, mainly themselves. I just sat there giggling half the time because they are swoon-worthy. 

I would say this is the darkest Victoria Wilder book I’ve read, so double-check those trigger warnings before jumping in because there is a lot that happens. And I don’t think it’s going to die down any time soon because these Crowne women are badass, and I know things are only just getting started. 

Overall, Rumors & Whiskey is hot and sexual. The tension is dripping off the page, and then you are thrown into the terror and horrors of Rumour. You don’t know what is going to happen next, you don’t know who to trust, and there are so many more secrets that have yet to be revealed. I know I am ready for more. Are you?

Thank you to @atriabooksaus for an earc of Rumors & Whiskey 🥃. I’m in love.

March was a better reading month than February for March was a better reading month than February for me, and while I’m still stuck in my heated rivalry fanfiction era I managed to scrap out of it a little this month. 

I reread four books from the sweet omegaverse series and honestly had the best time. I also read two of my most anticipated reads of the year and had a blast. Sadly I did also have my first dnf of the year.

What did you read this March? Any standouts? What are you looking forward to reading in April? Let’s chat!
