Books I Was SO EXCITED to Get, but Still Haven’t Read

Books I Was SO EXCITED to Get, but Still Haven’t Read

May 17, 2022 Posted by angelreads Top Ten Tuesday 7 Comments

This week I’m sharing the books I was excited to get but still haven’t read. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

I’ve gotten a lot of books this year, and I have read a good chunk of them. But there are still so many that I haven’t read yet. So today I’m sharing the books that I was excited to get this year but still haven’t had the chance to read.

There are mostly romances on this list because that is pretty much all I’ve been reading for the past year. But I’m excited to pick these ones up. As always these are in no real order. Let’s go.

A Pack of Blood and Lies (The Boulder Wolves #1) by Olivia Wildenstein | A Deal with the Elf King (Married to Magic #1) by Elise Kova | Punk 57 by Penelope Douglas | Immortal Plunder (Pirates of Felicity #1) by Kelly St. Clare. 

The Longing of Lone Wolves (Fae Guardians #1) by Lana Pecherczyk |  Gild (The Plated Prisoner #1) by Raven Kennedy. | Bombshell (Hell’s Belles #1) by Sarah MacLean | Taken to Voraxia (Xiveri Mates #1). by Elizabeth Stephens.

Reel (Hollywood Renaissance #1) by Kennedy Ryan | Hooked (Never After, #1) by Emily McIntire.

And there we go. Those are the books I was excited to get this year but still, haven’t had the chance to read yet. Where should I start? Have you read any of these? Let’s Chat!

    A Deal with the Elf King is also on my TBR but it’s on KU, so I don’t own it. I’ve read and enjoyed Gild. But I remember it being on my shelf for a few months before I picked it up.

    Have a great week 🙂

    Elizabeth Stephen’s Xiveri Mates series was my first alien sci-fi romance and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Bombshell is also on my TBR and I was very excited about it so I don’t know why I keep putting it off 😂 Hope you enjoy these whenever you get around to reading them!

    I’ve heard some crazy things about Punk 57 – makes me want to both read it and not. 🙂

Yeah, this is what I wanted. I really enjoyed Vict Yeah, this is what I wanted. I really enjoyed Victoria Wilder’s Bourbon Boys series, and as soon as I heard she was writing a new series, around whiskey and women. Well, hell year. It took me a little bit to get into the book, but after a few chapters, I was hooked. 

Wyn is hiding, hiding from everyone, even when she is there. She is hiding behind so much, and damn, I don’t blame her. We don’t know everything from the start, but we start piecing things together, and my heart broke. And I was terrified for her. But she is a Crowne woman, and that means something. 

We’ve met Julian before, and while he intrigued me before, I am invested now. He is charming, secretive in the best way and will do anything at this point for Wyn. But he is also lost, and somehow he finds his way to Rumour and back into Wyn’s life. 

The romance is hot and steamy and everything that you want. The tension and chemistry in this one is high. Neither Wyn nor Julian wants to really give in or give up on one another, but a lot is standing in their way, honestly, mainly themselves. I just sat there giggling half the time because they are swoon-worthy. 

I would say this is the darkest Victoria Wilder book I’ve read, so double-check those trigger warnings before jumping in because there is a lot that happens. And I don’t think it’s going to die down any time soon because these Crowne women are badass, and I know things are only just getting started. 

Overall, Rumors & Whiskey is hot and sexual. The tension is dripping off the page, and then you are thrown into the terror and horrors of Rumour. You don’t know what is going to happen next, you don’t know who to trust, and there are so many more secrets that have yet to be revealed. I know I am ready for more. Are you?

Thank you to @atriabooksaus for an earc of Rumors & Whiskey 🥃. I’m in love.

March was a better reading month than February for March was a better reading month than February for me, and while I’m still stuck in my heated rivalry fanfiction era I managed to scrap out of it a little this month. 

I reread four books from the sweet omegaverse series and honestly had the best time. I also read two of my most anticipated reads of the year and had a blast. Sadly I did also have my first dnf of the year.

What did you read this March? Any standouts? What are you looking forward to reading in April? Let’s chat!
