It Was Not A Good Month | October Haul

It Was Not A Good Month | October Haul

October 27, 2022 Posted by angelreads Book Hauls No Comments

Okay, October was not a good month. Let me start by saying I didn’t buy all these books this month. I just got them in October. Earlier this month I went to a romance book signing here in Melbourne called Books In-Sight. So it means I picked up a lot of books. 

I picked up such a range of books this month from all types of romance, to even some non-fiction. From indie-published books to trad published and more. Enough of all this chat, it’s time to share them. Here are the books that I got this October. 

Tragedy, the Greeks, and Us by Simon Critchley | The Ruin of All Witches: Death and Desire in an Age of Enchantment by Malcolm Gaskill. | The Valkyrie’s Viking (The Valkyrie of Birca #1) by Tanya Nellestein. | Demons Do It Better (Hidden Species #1) by Louisa Masters.

Only the Positive (Only You, #1) by Elle Thorpe | Only the Perfect (Only You #2) by Elle Thorpe. | Only the Truth (Only You #2.5) by Elle Thorpe. | Devious Little Liars (Saint View High #1) by Elle Thorpe.

Dangerous Little Secrets (Saint View High #2) by Elle Thorpe | Twisted Little Truths (Saint View High #3) by Elle Thorpe. | Claimed By The CEO (Woodmeadows Pack #1) by Corinne Mazille | Emerald (The Silvia Saga #1) by Jenna Lee.

Topaz (The Silvia Saga #2) by Jenna Lee | Ruby (The Silvia Saga #3) by Jenna Lee. | Broken Wolf (Savage #2) by Mila Young. | Fated Wolf (Savage #3) by Mila Young. 

Hunted (Haven Realm Chronicles, #1) by Mila Young | Kings of Eden (Kings of Eden #1) by Mila Young and Harper A. Brooks. | Monster’s Plaything (Monster & Me #1) by C.R. Jane and Mila Young. | The Evelyn Maynard Trilogy (The Evelyn Maynard Trilogy #1-3) by Kaydence Snow.

Reverie and Redemption by Kaydence Snow | Praise (Salacious Players Club #1) by Sara Cate. | Eyes on Me (Salacious Players Club #2) by Sara Cate | Give Me More (Salacious Players Club #3) by Sara Cate.

Dating Dr. Dil (If Shakespeare was an Auntie #1) by Nisha Sharma. | A Million Kisses in Your Lifetime by Monica Murphy. 

And there we go. Those are all the books that I bought this October. As you can see it was quite a lot and clearly I can’t stop. Especially with how well I have been doing. Nevertheless, it’s all good, I can’t wait to read them all.

What books did you pick up this month? Are you looking forward to them? Are there any books on my haul that you have already read? So, let’s chat!

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!

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!
