RARE Melbourne 2023 | Wrap Up and Haul

RARE Melbourne 2023 | Wrap Up and Haul

May 21, 2023 Posted by angelreads Book Hauls No Comments

Not going to lie. I’ve been putting off getting this post together. Because I knew that it was going to make me some time. But here it finally is.

In April I went to the first-ever RARE Melbourne event, and I had such a blast. It’s not my first romance signing event, but it was my first of this size. Ely and I bought our tickets all the way in 2022 and planned our way throughout the year. There were quite a few preorders, and then I did end up buying even more books throughout the weekend. 

I meet so many amazing authors, some that I have loved for a long time and some that I had only discovered. And I always love going to events like this and getting to meet authors that I love is always a bonus. I will be posting some photos up on Instagram soon, so you can check them out! 

But let’s get into it as this is going to be a big post. Here are all the books that I bought at RARE Melbourne 2023. Here are go, I tried to group all the books from the same author as possible, but otherwise, these are in no order.

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!
