My Favourite Read From Each Month in 2021

My Favourite Read From Each Month in 2021

January 13, 2022 Posted by angelreads Discussions No Comments

I haven’t done a post like this before and I thought it would not only be a fun post to write but for you all to read. I’ve already shared some of my top reads of 2021. But I thought I would share some of my favourite books from each month last year. This was a great way for me to look back at all the books that I read last year and really think about which ones I loved. 

These books aren’t all 5 stars, I don’t normally rate that many that high, but they all came very very close let me tell you. There is a mix of romance, young adults and all different types of subgenres. So let’s get right into it. 

January: Ever After Always (Bergman Brothers #3) by Chloe Liese: I just love this series so much. I’ve said this before but I don’t read many full contemporary romances. However, this series is so good! While this isn’t my favourite from the series, I still loved it so much. The characters are fantastic, the romance hit hard and if you haven’t picked this series up yet please do | 4 stars.

February: Never Seduce a Scoundrel (School For Heiresses #1) by Sabrina Jeffries: This was Ely and mines buddy read for February and let me tell you I adored this book. It was a fantastic start to the series and I cannot wait to read more | 4.5 stars – Discussion 

March: Chain of Iron (The Last Hours #2) by Cassandra Clare: I read this as soon as it was published. I didn’t want to wait long because of spoilers. Plus I was still at home recovering at this point. I don’t want to say too much about this one yet, but I loved it. The characters were amazing, the plot killed me. Let’s just say that this book left me broken. And I’m not sure how I’m going to wait for the last book. | 4.5 Stars 

April: Six of Crows (Six of Crows #1) by Leigh Bardugo: After reading the Shadow and Bone series for the first time, I wanted to do a re-read of Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom again. I forgot just how much I love this duo. I love the characters, the world, the plot. Just everything about it screams me | 4.5 Stars 

May 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. 

June Punderworld, Volume 1 by Linda Šejić: I received an earc of this graphic novel and gosh I’m in love. Hades and Persephone and adorable and made my heart melt. I need to read the rest like now. Because the cuteness cannot be contained. I’ve now bought a physical copy because it was just too adorable | 4 Stars.

July With You Forever (Bergman Brothers #4) by Chloe Liese: As soon as I received my e-arc of this I had to read it. And I was not disappointed, it’s simply fantastic. This is by far becoming to be one of my favourite romance series. This is a fantastic sibling’s best friend and marriage of convenience romance.| 4.5 Stars 

August Lola & the Millionaires: Part One and Two (Sweet Omegaverse #2) by Kathryn Moon: So I had to put both parts of this one on this list because I seriously love them so much. This has become one of my favourites series/duos. It was my first dip into Omegaverses and I seriously fell in love with it. And not only that it’s a fantastic reverse harem as well | 4.5 Stars

September Rejected (Shadow Beast Shifters #1) by Jaymin Eve: I was not expecting to like this book as much as I did. I picked it up because it did sound like something that I would really enjoy. And I’ve been looking for some new paranormal romances for me to read. And I kind of loved this one. I ended up binging the series | 4 Stars 

October King of Battle and Blood (Adrian X Isolde #1) by Scarlett St. Clair: This is one of those books that people either love or hate. And I loved it. It’s intense, sexy and you won’t be able to put it down. From vampires and witches to arranged marriages, enemies to lovers and political court intrigue, it was so good | 4 Stars. 

November The Love Hypothesis (The Love Hypothesis #1) by Ali Hazelwood:  I wasn’t expecting to like this one as much as I did. I had heard so many good things from other bloggers, booktubers and booktokers, so I felt like I was going to like it. I just didn’t know that it would hit me as hard as it did n| 4 Stars. 

December  War (The Four Horsemen #2) by Laura Thalassa: This is my favourite of the series by far. The romance in this one hits hard, the plot is addicting and I just could not put it down. This series as a whole is fantastic and honestly, all the others have been 4 stars reads. War just gets through, because the romance in this one is fantastic | 4.5 Stars.

 

And there we go. Those are my favourite books I read for each month of 2021. Have you read any of these books? What did you think of them? What are some of your favourite reads from last year? So, let’s chat!

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?
