Happy New Year!

Dec 31, 2014

New-Year-2015-Computer-Background-wallpaper

Yes, yes I know this is early, but I wanted to make sure I got it done, because if you haven’t noticed, I have not posted in a while.

There is a reason before you say anything. I have family over from the US and we have been doing something every single day, leaving at 10 in the morning and not coming home till late. And then when I come how I am so exhausted it’s crazy. Don’t worry they are leaving in a couple of days so everything should be back to normal soon I hope.

But anyway. 2014 has been a crazy year for me. Going through and finishing year 12, graduating from high school and blogging a whole lot more.

Blogging has become my life and I love it. I cannot wait to bring more to you in 2015 including some awesome features that I am so excited for me.

So I hope you all had a wonderful 2014 and bring in the new year with style.

I AM BACK!

Nov 11, 2014

Well as the title says I am back! I could not be more excited about it. So if you didn’t know I was on a short hiatus, okay yes it was like 2 months but in those 2 months I had my practice exam, graduated from high school and today finally after 13 years of school, I have finished. (yes, yes I still have University but it’s different.)

I could not be happy that I am finished, It’s been a long year and after 3 weeks of 6 exams my fingers are blistered, my hands hurt and my room is a mess with everything everywhere but I am so glad that it is over.

I never really realised how much blogger impacted my life, it’s been so hard not being able to blog and talk to you all about books. I have also only read 1 book in those 2 months and only because I needed a break.

Blogging has become my life the last 2 years and not being able to do it the last 2 months has been crazy and I am so glad that I am back. It’s time to read and review and just have too much fun. I have so many exciting things to come and some really awesome features that I cannot wait to start. But for now it is time to party and just be all crazy…about books.

I also turn 18 this months so that is something else that I am looking forward to this month.

The next couple of weeks might be crazy me getting back into the grove of things, reviewing the books that I read before I went on hiatus and didn’t get to review a whole heap of stuff but I am excited to be back and I hope that you are too.

Short Hiatus

Short Hiatus

Sep 6, 2014

Hey Everyone. So as the title says I am going on a Short Hiatus. And by short I mean to the end of November. I would not do this if I didn’t have to, but my final end of year exams are coming up very soon and I have so much studying to do.  These exams are worth more than half of my mark, so I need to do quite well in them. Hence I am going to be studying a lot.

I just won’t be able to focus on Angel Reads to the standard I want, and do well in my exams aswell. There will be some guest posts here and there, and I might get a few up, but I cannot say how many and when.

I am sorry for doing this to you guys and I hope that you stick by me. But once the end of November is over I am all yours!!! I will have finished high school, and I have at least 3 months off before I go to University. So we are going to have some fun. I have so many new and exciting things coming next year that I hope that you all will love.

Although my hiatus will be a few months I will make it up to you. I promise.

Thank you all for understanding.

Angel

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?
