Top Ten Things On My Reading Wishlist

Jan 20, 2014

Top Ten Tuesday 1

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they post a new Top Ten list that members at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. All bloggers are then welcomed to join.
This week’s Top Ten Tuesday is: Top Ten Eight Things On My Reading Wishlist (if you could make authors write about these things you would.) These are in no Particular order and they are for mostly YA authors.
1.I wish for… More YA thriller – I am really liking thriller novels at the moment after reading Psycho Inside Me  but there isn’t that much, in young adult novels so I would love some more.
2. I wish for…More books based around  Greek Mythology – I love Greek Mythology alot, I would love for more YA novels to be based on it, just all about the Greek Gods, the demi gods, all the monsters. Pretty awesome if I say so myself.

3. I wish for… More novels about magic – I love magic and everything about it, so some more novels that incorporate magic is pretty awesome. I know there is a bit already out, but i want more like Harry Potter if you get what I mean.

4. I wish for… More Male character leads – yes there is a few but not many. It’s different and nice having someone other then a female as our main character.
5. I wish for… More books set in Australia – There is countless books set in America and i am just sick of reading about the same place over and over again. I live in Australia and I have only read 1 book that is set in Australia it was so awesome, I knew the places that were being talked about and i wasn’t as lost
aus
6. I wish for… Books set around the war time – I am always intrigued about books set around war, and I would love see more set around of times of real wars.
7. I wish for… Less love triangles – I hate love triangles, the annoy me and get me so angry, so do many other things check out some here. Sometimes i don’t read a book because I know it has a love triangle in it. They just out me so off.

8. I wish for… More books set in Medieval Times – Something about this time era pulls me in. I am not sure to what it is. Maybe because ‘magic’ was around in these times and just the clothes worn, knights, kings, queens etc I just love it.

So that is what I want to see done by more YA authors. What,if you could make authors write about?

Cover Reveal: Ringer by C.J Duggan

Jan 20, 2014

RINGER-1

 

Expected Publication: March 18th 2014
Publisher: Independent 
Series: Summer 3.5
Genre: Contemporary New Adult
Cover Designer: Keary Taylor
Add to Goodreads Shelf 
Pre Order Ringer 

Synopsis:

They say it’s the quiet ones you have to worry about, and she was quiet, very quiet—when she wasn’t busy despising me with a burning passion.

Ringo ‘Ringer’ James has a no-strings-attached policy.

Love them, leave them, and remain the eternal bachelor.

After a summer in which every one of his mates has succumbed to settling down, or so it seemed, Ringer is on the lookout for a quick exit. Having had enough of the stomach-turning love fest witnessed over the past three months, Ringer jumps at the opportunity to help out his mate, Max, by heading to Max’s dad’s property for a working holiday.

It’s just what he’s looking for. A remote, dusty homestead in Ballan, with only hard work, a cold beer and a comfy bed to worry about – no women.

Until Miranda Henry.

The privately educated daughter of his boss has returned home from overseas and things are about to get very complicated, very fast. As summer draws to its end, Ringer is about to learn that sometimes attraction defies all logic, and that there really is such a thing as ‘enemies with benefits.’

Ringer’s Novella is book 3.5 in the Summer Series and can be read as a stand alone or a part of the series, but like anything for a more deeper understanding of the characters, it’s recommended to start with The Boys of Summer.

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!

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.
