Incompleted Series I Want To Continue in 2024

Incompleted Series I Want To Continue in 2024

Apr 21, 2024

If you didn’t know I love reading series. So today I decided to share some of the incomplete series that I want to continue reading in 2024. Some of these series I started a few years ago and slowly read as the series comes out, and some I’ve just read and now I’m waiting for more.

I’m a massive fan of interconnected contemporary series, so you will see quite a few of them on this list, but fantasy and paranormal series are always a standout for me. I am up to date with most of the series on this list, but I am catching the rest.

Anyway enough of the chit-chat, here are some of the current incomplete series that I want to keep on reading in 2024. And as always they are in no particular order. So, let’s go.

Ironside Academy Series by Jane Washington: I wasn’t expecting to like this series as much as I did. I read the first 3 books one after the other and loved them. So I’m super excited for the next book and waiting for it’s release.

Campus Diaries Series by Elle Kennedy: I didn’t know if I was going to love this new series but Elle Kennedy and I ended up loving the first book, so I cannot wait for more.

Windy City Series by Liz Tomforde: I liked the first book in this series but loved the second and third, so I am super excited to see where this series goes.

Maple Hills Series by Hannah Grace: I’ve enjoyed both Icebreaker and Wildfire quite a lot and I cannot wait to read Daydream. This is definitely going to be one that I read right as it’s released

Tempting Monsters Series by Kathryn Moon: I read the first book in this series last year and enjoyed it a lot. I’ve loved all the other Kathryn Moom books I’ve read so I will be continuing this series for sure.

The Windsors Series by Catharina Maura: I’m a little behind in this series and have already read the first two. But I do want to continue. I am more picky with my contemporary romances, but I have liked the first two books so far.

Duskwalker Brides Series by Opal Reyne: I don’t know why I haven’t continued this series yet. But I want to read at least another one of the books this year. Maybe even catch up with the series. I loved the first one, so I am super excited to read more.

The Mortal Fates Series by J. Bree: I am caught up with this as much as I can, but the second book comes out soon, and I cannot wait for it. It’s one of my most anticipated reads for 2024.

And there we go. Those are some of the incomplete series I am currently reading, and I plan on continuing to read them. Have you read any of these series? What do you think of them? Are you planning on starting any of these? Let’s chat!

Books I’ve Loved Already This Year

Books I’ve Loved Already This Year

Apr 14, 2024

I have already read quite a few books this year so I thought it would be fantastic to share with you the books that I have loved.

It’s been an okay reading year so far, I’ve nearly hit reading 50 books and while that is on the lower side for me I hope I can read more in the coming months. I have had some fantastic books, some books that weren’t my thing and some books I loved. So today I thought it would be fantastic to share the books that I have already loved this year.

From fantasy, to contemporary and small town romacnes. Here are the books I have already loved reading in 2024.

Serpentine Valentine by Giana Darling: Giana Darling is always a hit for me and this one is different from anything else I’ve read from her and it was fantastic, one of my favourite books of the year. It’s sapphic and mythology inspired and honestly just hits with the spice as well.

Twilight of Embers (Dragons of Ember Hollow, #1) by Tessa Hale: I’d seen this one floating around social media a little and then I picked it up and I knew why. It’s got dragons, why choose and fated mates. It’s what I love. I’m about to start the second book and I’m super excited for it.

The Penalty Box (Vancouver Wolves Hockey, #3) by Odette Stone: This is by far my favourite in this series, which I have now finished reading. It’s got a little bit of the mafia, it’s suspenseful and has hockey. Yes please.

Wild Love (Rose Hill, #1) by Elsie Silver: Elsie Silver knows whats up! This single dad, brothers best friend, billiolnari romance hits. It’s fantastic and has jumped to one of my favourites from Elsie.

Lost & Found #3-5 by Catherine Cowles: Honestly this whole series is fantastic. However, Glimmers of You is one the first one I really loved, it’s angsty and brothers best friend. Shadows of You is single mother and a grumpy mountain of a man. It’s fantastic. And Ashes of You is single father who will do anything for this boys and a women who has been hurt beyond compare. They both needed each other.

And there we go. Those are all the books I have already loved reading this year. Have you read any of these? What did you think of them? Are you planning on reading any of them? So let’s chat!

All the Books I Read in 2023 | Part 3

All the Books I Read in 2023 | Part 3

Mar 31, 2024

We are finally getting to the last part of this series! Ah. But as I said in my last post on this series. I had a few issues with my blog, but things are looking good now. I’m so excited to share with you all the books I read from September to December 2023.

One of the reasons I love doing these books is that it lets me look back at all the books I read over the year. I get to see what books I love, the books I may re-read. It even lets me work out the series I need to finish. I also get to see what types of books I read the year. And while I mostly did read romance in 2023, I like seeing the subgenres that really caught my eye.

This series will be done similarly to last year, with three posts. Each post will follow different months and will be as follows, January-April, May-August, September-December.

In 2023, I read 222 books. And while not my biggest year I’m happy with what I read. So, let’s get right into it. Here are all the books I read from September – December 2023. As always these are in no real order.

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.

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?
