Should I Unhaul These Books?

Should I Unhaul These Books?

June 17, 2021 Posted by angelreads Discussions 1 Comment

I have a lot of unread books. I’ve been collecting and buying books regularly for the last 10+ years. This means I have a lot of books from some time ago. I don’t only buy books from bookstores, but second-hand shops as well. I might have been interested in them at the time of purchase but now it’s been a couple of years. So today I thought I would share some of the books that I’m unsure about. The books I’m not sure if I want to read, the books I might unhaul. 

And I need your help. I need you to help me decide if I should keep the books and give them or go. Or if I should unhaul them. There is a mix of everything here and I cannot wait to hear what you think of them. Like always these are in no order. 

The Fallen and Leviathan (The Fallen #1) by Thomas E. Sniegoski: I got the whole series from a second-hand shop a number of years ago. It sounds like my type of book, but I have just never picked it up. I haven’t read an Angel book in a while, but I feel I could fall back into this world. What do you think? 

Captive Prince (Captive Prince #1) by C.S. Pacat: I won the whole series a few years ago. But I’ve been very hesitant to pick it up. I’ve heard a lot of mixed reviews about these books and I just don’t know what to do. I don’t read a lot of adult/romance fantasy books, so it’s never really been high on my list. Was this a hit for you? 

The Great Unknowable End by Kathryn Ormsbee: This is another one that I feel has been a hit or miss with some people. It sounds fantastic and strange, but also wonderful. But I also don’t read a lot of magical realism and I think that is one of the reasons why I’ve been so hesitant to pick it up. What are your thoughts on this one? 

Wolf by Wolf (Wolf by Wolf #1) by Ryan Graudin: I got this one when it first came out as everyone was reading it, but I’m not sure why I did. It sounds interesting, yes. And it does sound like something I might enjoy. But I have never thought about it since. Did you ever read this one? What did you think? 

Moxie by Jennifer Mathieu: I received an unsolicited review copy of this one back when it was published. It wasn’t very high on books on my tbr. It just doesn’t sound like my type of book. I don’t read too much contemporary, especially contemporary young adult. But I’ve also heard good things about this. What do you think? 

Girls of Paper and Fire (Girls of Paper and Fire #1) by Natasha Ngan: I’ve become very picky with the YA I’ve been reading recently. I did pick this one up when a lot of what I was reading was YA fantasy, but now my reading habits have changed. It sounds interesting, but I’ve also heard up and down things about it. From those who have read this one, what are your thoughts? 

Rebel of the Sands (Rebel of the Sands #1) by Alwyn Hamilton: Much like Girls of Paper and Fire, I got this when I was really reading and love YA fantasy. I think out of the two this is the one I’m least interested in. But that cover just pulls me in. I would love to hear some of your thoughts about this one and if I should give it a go. 

Pivot Point (Pivot Point #1) by Kasie West: When I first started to read YA contemporary Kasie West was one of my go-to authors – still is really. Then I picked up her other books, but never had the chance to read them. This one still sounds interesting to me, but I feel that it might not be what I’m looking for. Have any of you read this one? What did you think?

And there we go. Those are some of the books that I’m thinking about unhauling. Have you read any of them? What did you think of them? Should I pick them up? Let’s Chat!

    Ok I know Captive Prince is problematic, but it’s also… SO good. I’ve never read any MM romance like this one. I’ve binge-read the whole trilogy in a matter of days at a time when I was in a huge reading slump. I feel like this one really deserves a shot, the two main characters are basically two (albeit badass) cinnamon rolls pretending to be warriors 🥺 It is not at all what it seems, you just have to get past one or two scenes in book 1, then the other two don’t contain problematic scenes.

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

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!
