A Much Better Reading Month | May Wrap Up

A Much Better Reading Month | May Wrap Up

June 3, 2021 Posted by angelreads Monthly Wrap Up No Comments

After a very slow April, I finally feel like I’m in a much better reading mood. While I didn’t read a whole lot more this month, I feel like I’m getting back into it. I did re-read quite a number of books this month and I feel that has helped me move out of my little slump. Add to that the fact Melbourne went back into lockdown, which meant I couldn’t work.  Which meant I had a lot more time to read. 

Enough of all this talk let’s get into it. As I said before I did some re-reading this month which helped with my slump. I also managed to pick up a few books that I’ve been waiting to read for a while. But here we go, like always these are in no order.  

Fugitive (Houston Defiance MC #3) by K.E. Osborn: I received the 4th book in this series for review before I realised I completely missed this one. So I finally picked it up. This might be my least favourite from the series. I like it, but I wasn’t able to connect with the character as much. The romance was really cute though | 2.5 Stars. 

Impulsive (Houston Defiance MC #4) by K.E. Osborn: As soon as I read the synopsis for this one I was intrigued. It sounds fantastic and it was. The romance was great, the characters were and I can’t wait to see where this story goes | 3 Stars.

To Love and to Loathe (The Regency Vows #2) by Martha Waters: As soon as I heard about this book I knew that I needed to read it. And I ended up loving it. It’s a fantastic historical romance and I can’t wait to read more from Martha Waters | 4 stars – Review. 

Last Will and Testament (Radleigh University #1) by Dahlia Adler: I saw this as a recommendation on a list that I was reading a little while ago and I’ve missed my college/university romances. This wasn’t it though. There was a lot of things missing for me in this one. The romance was okay – but I wanted more. The characters were here and there | 2.5 Stars.

Psy-Changeling #1 – 4 by Nalini Singh: This was a big re-read this month. I re-read it for no other reason than feeling like it. I read the first 4 books and then I pick and choose a few of the others. These first four and just fantastic. They just hit me just right. 

Psy-Changeling #5-6 & #9-10 by Nalini Singh: I couldn’t do a re-read and not read these ones. I just love them so much. I love this series so much. And I cannot wait to continue reading it – which I now will. 

Get a Life, Chloe Brown (The Brown Sisters #1) by Talia Hibbert: This is one of mine and Ely’s buddy reads and let me tell you, I loved it. I’ve been wanting to start this series for a while now and I finally did it. I took a little while to get into it, but once I did I had a blast | 4 Stars.

Heartstopper: Volume Four (Heartstopper #4) by Alice Oseman: I bought this the day it was published and came into work, but I couldn’t read it right away. I wasn’t ready for the pain. I loved it so much, it hurt but gosh it also made me smile so much |  5 stars. 

Crooked Kingdom (Six of Crows #2) by Leigh Bardugo: I finally finished my re-read of Crooked Kingdom this month. I honestly don’t know why it took me so long to read – but I did it. I loved it and I can’t wait to read King of Scars | 4.5 Stars. 

And there we go. Those are the books that I read in May. Have you read any of these? What did you think? Are you planning on reading them? What did you read in May? Let’s Chat!

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!
