I Did Good This Month | January Haul

I Did Good This Month | January Haul

February 6, 2021 Posted by angelreads Book Hauls No Comments

I didn’t purchase too many books this month! And I feel pretty good. However, I did order a whole heap. so give or take. Today I’m sharing the books that I purchased, received and bought in January.

I got a range of different books in January. Young Adult, Romance, Fantasy, it was just a range of things I love. Like always these are in no order. 

Shadow and Bone Boxset: After seeing all the stills and characters I had to get the box set. I’ve read Six of Crows and Crooked and adored it. I’ve been putting off reading this series for a while. But I think it’s time. I don’t know if I will have them read by April, but I want to try to have at least read the first. 

Lore by Alexandra Bracken: As soon as I read the synopsis for this one I knew that I needed to read it. I hope that I can get to it soon. It just sounds exactly what I will love to read. 

Full Disclosure by Camryn Garrett: This has been on my tbr for some time now, and I finally had the chance to pick it up in January. I’m really excited to start it. It sounds intriguing and something that will be on my mind for some time. 

Custom Built (Fast & Fury #1) by Chantal Fernando: I didn’t know that Chantal Fernando was bringing out a new series, so I picked up the first book and sadly wasn’t a massive fan. 

My Darling Duke (Sinful Wallflowers #1) by Stacy Reid: I bought this one as I received book 2 for review and wanted to read the first before I dug in. And I am so glad that I did because I adored this book so much. 

From Blood and Ash (Blood and Ash #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout: I’ve been wanting to buy this one for ages, but the paperback is expensive so I’ve held off. But I also want to pick it up soon so I grabbed the ebook. If I end up loving it as much as others are, then I will most likely buy them. 

To Love and to Loathe (The Regency Vows #2) by Martha Waters: After my interview with Martha, I knew that I would love to read some of her books, and then I got this one for review. I am so excited to jump in and read. I’ve heard so many good things about it already. 

The Spinster and the Rake (Never a Wallflower #1) by Eva Devon: I haven’t heard too much about this author or this book, but it sounds fantastic and I am always here for new historical romances. 

The Things We Leave Unfinished by Rebecca Yarros: It’s a new Rebecca Yarros do I need to say more? You should all know by now how much I love Yarros’ books and I cannot wait for this one. It’s slightly different to her others but that is what makes me even more excited. 

An Earl, the Girl, and a Toddler (Rogues and Remarkable Women #2) by Vanessa Riley: While I didn’t fall in love with the first book of this series, I am very intrigued to see where it is taken. It sounds like it’s going to be interesting and I wanna know what is going to happen next. 

And that is it. Those are the books that I got in January. I did so good with my book buying and I’m proud of myself.  but I know that Feb is already not off to a great start – oh well. What did you get in January? Have you checked out my January wrap up too? Let’s Chat!

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!

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!

I just had a really good start to the year. While February is a little slow so far I’m looking forward to what I can pick up.
