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. 🙂

I had such a great time reading this book. I didn’ I had such a great time reading this book. I didn’t know what to expect, but at the same time it was exactly what I wanted.

Driven is an entertaining, suspenseful new adult romance debut that has a second chance romance, is brothers best friend and has fast cars. 

It’s one of those books that is perfect for those looking for something that they won’t want to put down, leave them second guessing and wanting more. 

It’s full of second changes, finding yourself and falling for the one person that is forbidden. 

This is all such a great debut novel that makes me want to read more from Emma J Warrender.
