Books on My Summer 2022 To-read List

Books on My Summer 2022 To-read List

December 14, 2021 Posted by angelreads TBR 9 Comments

This week I’m sharing the books on my summer tbr Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

There are so many books that I want to read. So many. But today I’m sharing the books that I hope to get to in the next few months. We are currently in summer here in Australia and the weather is very strange here in Melbourne. I do like to read more summery reads this time of year, but I’m a mood reader and things change all the time. 

Anyway, let’s get into it. There is a mix of new releases, books that have been on my tbr for a while and books that have caught my eye recently. There are also some new kinda reads for me and I’m excited. As always these are in no order. 

Electric Idol (Dark Olympus #2) by Katee Robert | Twisted Games (Twisted #2) by Ana Huang | Angels’ Blood (Guild Hunter #1) by Nalini Singh | The Sweetest Oblivion (Made #1) by Danielle Lori.

Beastars, Vol. 1 (BEASTARS #1) by Paru Itagaki | The Way of the Househusband, Vol. 1 (極主夫道 / Gokushufudō #1) by Kousuke Oono, Sheldon Drzka |  Portrait of a Scotsman (A League of Extraordinary Women #3) by Evie Dunmore | Iron Widow (Iron Widow #1) by Xiran Jay Zhao.

Famine (The Four Horsemen #3) by Laura Thalassa |  A Deal with the Elf King (Married to Magic #1) by Elise Kova.

And there we go. Those are some of the books on my summer tbr. These are the books that I am hoping to read in the next few months. Have you read any of these? What did you think of them? What do you want to read? Let’s Chat!

    I hope you enjoy The Way of the Househusband. It’s quite ridiculous at times, but so funny.

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.
