A Pretty Good Month | June Haul

A Pretty Good Month | June Haul

July 4, 2021 Posted by angelreads Book Hauls No Comments

I had a pretty good June! Along with June being one of my slowest reading months – I didn’t buy many books in June either.  This came down to a few things. The first being for a good chunk of the month we were in lockdown so I wasn’t at work to get things and I stopped myself from buying more. And because I wasn’t reading much I just didn’t want anything. 

But I did get a little bit. It was a mix of books this month from romance to young adult and a little bit in between. Check them out now. 

Fire with Fire by Destiny Soria: I don’t know too much about this one. I just came across it a few times and it caught my eye. Not only is the cover so pretty, it just screams me and I cannot wait. It sounds fantastic and I’m really excited to start it soon. 

Light It Up (How It Went Down #2) by Kekla Magoon: This is another one that I don’t know too much about, but I read the synopsis and knew that I needed to have it. The whole concept of how this book is also written has really caught my eye as well.

One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston: I don’t think I need to explain how much I loved Red, White and Royal Blue and gosh I’m excited for this. I love that it’s different and that makes me even more excited to read it. I had to wait a little bit before I could grab my copy but now I have it and I can’t wait. 

The Winter King (Weathermages of Mystral #1) by C.L. Wilson: A friend of mine got this and it just sounded so interesting. I don’t read a lot of historical romances/fantasies like this and I’m intrigued. I honestly don’t know too much about it. 

Take a Hint, Dani Brown (The Brown Sisters #2) and Act Your Age, Eve Brown (The Brown Sisters #3) by Talia Hibbert: After finishing Get a Life, Chloe Brown last month and really enjoying it. I needed to get the rest of the series. They both came in after lockdown ended and I excited to read them now for sure. 

Punderworld, Volume 1 by Linda Šejić: I received an e-arc of this for review and let me tell you already I adored and cannot wait for more. Plus look how pretty that cover is! 

Drag Me Up (Gods of Hunger #1) by R.M. Virtues: I’ve been on a massive mythology kick lately and this one sounds so damn good. I have heard so many good things about it as well. So I had to pick it up. And I mean give me more romance mythology re-tellings any day. 

And there we go! Those are all the books I got in June. I’m pretty proud of myself actually, especially since I bought quite a bit last month! What did you get in June?

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?
