Book Covers That Feel Like Summer

Book Covers That Feel Like Summer

July 12, 2022 Posted by angelreads Uncategorized 12 Comments

This week I’m sharing the books that have covers that feel like summer. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

I love the feel of summer. Not so much summer itself, because it gets super hot here. I like the whole vibe of summer. And while it’s winter now here in Australia, and quite cold. I thought this would be a great topic to do, to make me feel a little warmer. 

I’ve read all the books on this list and have loved most of them. The main thing is that they remind me of summer. From the colours, to what is on the cover and just the overall aesthetic. Let’s get right into it. As always these are in no order. 

Alight (The Firecracker Cousins #1) by A.H. Cunningham – Review | In Deeper Waters by F.T. Lukens – Discussion. | With the Fire on High by Elizabeth Acevedo | Long Way Home (Thunder Road #3) by Katie McGarry.

Me + Somebody’s Son: A Heights Story by Christina C. Jones | The Governess Game (Girl Meets Duke #2) by Tessa Dare. | Girl Against the Universe by Paula Stokes – Review | On the Rocks (Becker Brothers #1) by Kandi Steiner.

For Vacation Only by Mila Nicks – Review | Xeni (Loose Ends #2) by Rebekah Weatherspoon.

And there we go. Those are the books that have covers that remind me of summer. From the colours to just the feel. And then everything in between. Have you read any of these books? What did you think of them? What covers made it onto your list? Let’s chat?

    I am definitely more of a winter person than a summer person, I hate the heat! These are some gorgeous covers though 🙂

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!
