The Books That I Have Recently Read

May 13, 2020

Today I thought I would share some of the books that I’ve recently read. I read a lot. Most of the time I can finish at least one book a day. So there are times where I’m just picking up a book as soon as I finish the other. So today I wanted to share some of the books that I have recently read.

The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune: I started seeing this one pop up over the past couple of weeks and a fair few of my favourite bookish people had loved it. It sounded like my thing so I gave it a go. And I loved it. It’s probably my favourite book that I’ve read this year. Hands down. It could be one of my favourites of all time. I’ll be posting my full review soon. But just so you know, I loved it.

Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston: This is my first re-read on this list. I just felt that a good romance that I know and love. I always have so much fun reading this book. It just makes me so happy. It is something that I’m always recommending to customers at work because I love it that much. You can also check out my discussion I had with Ely from Of Wonderland.

Men of Inked #1 -#3 by Chelle Bliss: This series popped up on my Facebook feed recently so I thought that I would give it a go. They were pretty okay. Nothing to write home about, but I enjoyed reading them and will continue reading the series and will most likely read the companion series as well. But we will see. Out of these three, my favourite is between books 1 and 2. I’ve been really in the mood for books that include characters that are tattoo artists and this isn’t a horrible one. I do wish there was more about tattooing though.

Cinder (The Lunar Chronicles #1) by Marissa Meyer: This is my second read and the latest books that I finished. I saw a post on twitter about this series and it really made me want to re-read it. I love this series so much. It really brought me more into reading science fiction. It’s not a genre that I read a lot of, but I love this series. I think it’s a great series for those just starting to read sci-fi and not sure how they feel about it. Also, I want the new covers so bad!

And that is it for this post! What are some of your recent reads? Have you read anything that I have? Are you planning to read any of these? Let’s Chat!

Latest Additions Added To My Goodreads TBR #2

May 11, 2020

Today I thought I would share some of the latest books I’ve added to my Goodreads TBR. I use my Goodreads ‘to be read’ shelf for books that I don’t always own, but I want to try and maybe read. It’s a place for me to keep updated in the books that have caught my eye or are sequels to books that I love and series that I’m reading.

There is a range of romance and young adult here. But it is mostly romance that normally makes this list. With YA. I normally buy it pretty quickly or know what I want to read. With romance, I normally like to read reviews a little more and have a better understanding before I pick the book up. Anyway, let’s get into it. Like always these are in no particular order.

A King So Cold by Ella Fields: I honestly don’t know too much about this one here. It kept on popping up on a couple of my social media feeds and I’m intrigued. This is a new release so I want to wait for a little bit and read some more reviews before I pick this one up. It does sound on the darker side and I’ve had some ups and downs with it recently so I want to wait that little bit longer. But also look at that cover!

Lust (The Elite Seven #1) by Ker Dukey: This isn’t just the book that has intrigued but the whole series as a whole. I’m interested to see how everything plays out in this series. The reviews and ratings range for each book. Some are higher than others. And I think that I might give this one a go. Soon.

Fire In His Blood (Fireblood Dragon #1) by Ruby Dixon: I spoke about this one briefly in my current Kindle Unlimted books. I’ve been more interested in fantasy romance and I want to read more. And this series came up quite a bit. I don’t know how I’m going to feel about it. But I want to give it a go for sure.

The Shadows Between Us by Tricia Levenseller: As soon as I read the synopsis of this one I knew that I wanted to pick it up. It sounds right up my alley and something that I love reading in a young adult. It’s been getting mixed reviews, but I’ve got it on loan from my library so I cannot wait to pick it up and see for myself.

The Happy Ever After Playlist (The Friend Zone #2) by Abby Jimenez: I’ve started to see reviews pop up all over the place of this one and it sounds so good! It sounds adorable and something that I just want to read. Now, I haven’t read the first book in this series, so please tell me if I need to. The first book doesn’t catch me like this one though.

Hero (Morgan Brothers #1) by Lauren Rowe: This is another book that I spoke about in my KU post. But again, I’m interested in this one. And sometimes I just feel like a general romance book and this one feels like it’s going to be that. And I’ve heard good things about this series as well.

They Went Left by Monica Hesse: It wasn’t going to be a post from me if it didn’t include a historical fiction novel. This one sounds like it’s going to break me into tiny little pieces, but I’m ready for that. I love reading books set around World War II. It’s something that has always interested me and I can’t wait to read this one.

Date Me, Bryson Keller by Kevin van Whye: I’m not sure I’m ready for all the cuteness of this book. But I also feel that it’s going to hurt. It is just going to give all the emotions. However, this book is either going to go two ways for me. I’m going to love it or I’m going to hate it. But I can’t wait to read it.

A Lesson in Thorns (Thornchapel #1) by Sierra Simone: I’ve been debating picking up this book and series for some time now. It’s been getting some attention recently and I keep on seeing it. This is another one that I think I will either love or hate. I think I do need to be in the mode for it though. So I might just wait till then.

Meet Cute Club (Sweet Rose #1) by Jack Harbon: I hadn’t heard much about this book until a few weeks ago when it popped up in the ‘Readers Also Enjoyed’ thing on Goodreads. But it sounds adorable and so interesting. I love that is about books and M/M. It sounds like an utterly cute romance and I’m ready for that.

And that is it for this post! What are some of the books that you have recently added to your Goodreads TBR? Do we share any that is the same? Are you planning on reading any of these books? Have you? Let’s Chat!

Recent Book Bloggers and Booktubers I’ve Found

May 10, 2020

I always love finding new to me book bloggers and booktubers so today I thought I would share some of my recent finds. Now, most of these people have been around for a while, but they have recently just popped up on my radar. I would love if you checked them all out!

Jessica from PeaceLoveBooksxo | I’ve been trying to find more romance bloggers recently. I don’t follow a whole lot and I’m always looking for more recommendations and I came along Jessica. I love her videos, especially her recommendations. I’ve read a lot of what she has suggested recently and it’s just been great. And while we do have similar taste, she reads a lot that I hadn’t before and it was great delving into that as well.

Cal from Constant Raving Reviews | I didn’t find this one on my own per se but through twitter. We follow each other on twitter when I realised that she also had a blog and checked it out. I really enjoy reading her reviews and checking out her posts. She reads a range of things so there is something for everyone here.

Jennifer from The Book Refuge | This is a very recent find for me. Like I said early I’ve been really looking for some more romance bloggers/booktubers and while I was watching some videos, Jennifer’s videos came up as a recommendation. And I enjoyed them right away.

Laura from Laura’s Adventures in Literature | I really loved that Laura reviews a lot of #LoveOzYA – that just warms my heart. I love reading #LoveOzYA and when other people read it and love it. I also really enjoy the reviews in general. They are insightful and I love reading what Laura thinks.

And that is it! Those are some of my recent favourite book bloggers and booktubers that I’ve found! What are some of yours? Do you follow anyone that I talked about today? Are there any that you think I should check out? Let’s Chat!
