Books on My Winter 2023 to-Read List

Books on My Winter 2023 to-Read List

June 20, 2023 Posted by angelreads Top Ten Tuesday 7 Comments

This week I’m sharing the books I want to read this winter. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

I know it’s been a little bit since I posted, but life is getting a little in the way. Last week I got back from the Ballgown and Books Event in Syndey and went right back to work. Which meant I didn’t have much time to get in posts done. So I thought a great way to get back into it, is to share the books I want to read in the coming months.

It’s winter now here in Australia and the more it rains the more I want to stay inside even more. And what better way to stay warm and dry than to read as much as I want? Today I’m sharing the books that I’m hoping to read in the next couple of months. From books that have been on my tbr for a while, to newer books that have caught my eye. And hopefully, I can continue some series’ as well. As always these are in no order, let’s go! 

Please check the trigger and content warnings before picking up any of these books. 

The Ritual by Shantel Tessier | Reckless (Chestnut Springs, #4) by Elsie Silver. | If Only You (Bergman Brothers, #6) by Chloe Liese. | Moon Touched (Zodiac Wolves, #1) by Elizabeth Briggs.

A Soul to Heal (Duskwalker Brides, #2) by Opal Reyne. | Princes of Chaos (Royals of Forsyth University, #7) by Angel Lawson and Samantha Rue. | The Sinner and the Scholar by Lana Pecherczyk. | Poison Roses (Boys of Bellerose, #1) by Jaymin Eve and Tate James.

Waiting to Score (Pierson U #1) by Elouise Tynan. | The Unwanted Marriage (The Windsors, #3) by Catharina Maura.

And there we go. Those are some of the books that I want to read in the coming months. Have you read any of these? What did you think of them? Are you planning on reading any of these books? Nevertheless, what is on your winter/summer tbr? So let’s chat!

    What is it with people with the last name of Briggs writing about wolves? 😉
    I don’t know why but I am very drawn to that cover of The Sinner and the Scholar so I’m going to look that up.
    Happy reading this winter 🙂

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!
