Books I Don’t Know If I Want To Read

Books I Don’t Know If I Want To Read

March 9, 2021 Posted by angelreads Top Ten Tuesday 7 Comments

This week I’m sharing the books that I’m not sure if I should read. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

Sometimes there are books that I can’t decide if I want to read. It’s the books that leave me in two minds. The ones that have both good and bad reviews. So today I thought I should share some of the books that I need help deciding if I should read them. Some of these I may own, and some I’m thinking of getting. If you’ve read any of these help me out? Like always these are in no order. 

The Kiss Quotient (The Kiss Quotient #1) by Helen Hoang | Beach Read by Emily Henry | The Hating Game by Sally Thorne |Beautiful Bastard (Beautiful Bastard #1) by Christina Lauren 

Ninth House (Alex Stern #1) by Leigh Bardugo | Prisoner of Night and Fog (Prisoner of Night and Fog #1) by Anne Blankman | A Thousand Ships by Natalie Haynes | Don’t Call the Wolf by Aleksandra Ross

The Spare by Miranda Dubner | Into the Drowning Deep (Rolling in the Deep #1) by Mira Grant

And that is it for this weeks Top Ten Tuesday. Have you read any of these books? What did you think of them? Should I read them? What are some of the books that you don’t know if you want to read? Let’s chat!

    I’ve not read any of these books so I’m not much help but I will say I love the cover for Don’t Call the Wolf so probably wouldn’t get rid of it if it was on my shelf.

    I hope someone gives you advice about Ninth House. I’m curious about it, too.

    I own Ninth House and STILL haven’t read it. The others I haven’t heard of or haven’t read. I hope you enjoy if you do end up reading any of these!

    I’ve only read Ninth House of these, which I liked, though it was a little slow to get into.

    I have The Ninth House on my Kindle, but I haven’t started it yet either. *sigh* So many mixed reviews!

    Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thanks!

    I read Into the Drowning Deep a few years ago and enjoyed it, it was an interesting read with some very intense and gripping scenes!

    Beach Read is overhyped in my humble opinion. I haven’t read any of the others really so unable to comment further.

    Happy reading! My TTT https://readwithstefani.com/spring-book-unhaul/

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?
