Books That Bring Back Good Memories

Books That Bring Back Good Memories

November 30, 2021 Posted by angelreads Top Ten Tuesday 10 Comments

This week I’m sharing the books that bring back good memories. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

This week’s topic was a lot of fun and made me really think about it. There are a lot of books that could have made it to this list. So many books bring back good memories for me. But I really tried to put some of the books on here that I haven’t shared in a while. Anyway, let’s get into it. As always these are in no order. 

Angelfall (Penryn & the End of Days #1) by Susan Ee | Obsidian (Lux #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout | Daughter of Smoke & Bone (Daughter of Smoke & Bone #1) by Laini Taylor | My Love Lies Bleeding (Drake Chronicles #1) by Alyxandra Harvey.

Vampire Academy (Vampire Academy #1) by Richelle Mead | Pushing the Limits (Pushing the Limits #1) by Katie McGarry | Full Measures (Flight & Glory #1) by Rebecca Yarros | The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune. 

Lola & the Millionaires: Part One (Sweet Omegaverse #2) by Kathryn Moon | Neon Gods (Dark Olympus #1) by Katee Robert.

And there we go. That is my post for this week. Have you read any of the books on my list? What did you think of them? What books bring back good memories for you.

    I haven’t read any of these, but CERULEAN SEA is one I wanted to get to this year. Doesn’t look like I will. There’s always next year!

    Happy TTT!

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.
