Backlist Titles I Like From Authors I Love

Backlist Titles I Like From Authors I Love

August 1, 2023 Posted by angelreads Top Ten Tuesday 8 Comments

This week I’m sharing some of the backlist titles I like from authors that I love. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

When I love an author, there is a very good chance I’ve read a good chunk of their backlist. So today I’m sharing some of the titles from authors that I adore. Some are authors that I have been reading for years, some are from authors that I have picked up recently.

A backlist title is a book that has been on the market for more than a year. And I love reading them. It gives me some great insight into the author, to see how their writing has changed and grown. And sometimes the backlist titles become my favourite from the author. Now let’s get into it. Here are some of the backlist titles that I really enjoyed from authors I love. 

The Last Letter by Rebecca Yarros | Boys of Brayshaw High. (Brayshaw High #1) by Meagan Brandy. | Just Drop Out (Hannaford Prep, #1) by J. Bree. | The Vixen’s Lead (Kit Davenport #1) by Tate James.

Luna and the Lie by Mariana Zapata. | Delinquent (Academy of Misfits. #1) by Bea Paige. | Rookie Move. (Brooklyn Bruisers. #1) by Sarina Bowen. | The Birthday List. (Maysen Jar, #1) by Devney Perry.

Midnight Rescue (Killer Instincts, #1) by Elle Kennedy. | Slave to Sensation (Psy-Changeling, #1) by Nalini Singh.

And there we go! Those are just some of the backlist titles that I have enjoyed from authors that I love reading. Have you read any of these? What did you think of them? Are you planning on reading any of them? What books made it to your list? Let’s chat!

    I didn’t know that was the definition of a backlist title. Cool.

    Here is my Top Ten Tuesday post.

    Nalini Singh is an author that I’ve been wanting to try for a while. I just added a few of her books to my TBR this year and I can’t wait to give them a try 🙂

    Great List! All of the novels you listed sound like great reads.
    Rebecca Yarros, Mariana Zapata, and Devney Perry’s novels are already on my tbr and I just added J. Bree and Bea Paige’s novels to that growing list.
    Thank you for bringing these authors to my attention!

    I hope you have a great Tuesday!

    I was happy clapping while reading your list! The Birthday List, The Last Letter, and The Boys of Brayshaw are all the first books I read by those authors and they sent me reading their backlists! I’ve also read all of Bowen’s, Zapata’s and most of Kennedy’s. All great authors. I love you sharing them today.

    I’ve never read any of these or actually even heard of any of them. I’m glad so many “forgotten” books are being remembered this week 🙂

    Happy TTT!

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?
