Paranormal/Fantasy Romance Books For October | TTT

Paranormal/Fantasy Romance Books For October | TTT

Oct 26, 2021

This week it’s time for a Halloween Freebie. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

It’s always hard for me to do Halloween posts for many different reasons. But the one that stands out the most is, I don’t like scary books or even movies. They are just not for me. But I do like my paranormal and fantasy romances. So I thought there is no better time to recommend some of my favourite paranormal/fantasy romances you can read in October. While these aren’t ‘scary’ they include creatures and themes that I think are perfect for the spooky season. 

So let’s get right into it. These recommendations go from a little bit spicy, to hot and spicy. So there is something for everyone. Like always these are in no order. 

Rejected (Shadow Beast Shifters #1) by Jaymin Eve | Queen Takes Knights (Their Vampire Queen #1) by Joely Sue Burkhart | Pestilence (The Four Horsemen #1) by Laura Thalassa | Slave to Sensation (Psy-Changeling #1) by Nalini Singh 

Dark Lover (Black Dagger Brotherhood #1) by J.R. Ward | Vampire Academy (Vampire Academy #1) by Richelle Mead | From Blood and Ash (Blood and Ash #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout | A Touch of Darkness (Hades & Persephone #1) by Scarlett St. Clair 

The Magic of Discovery (Emerald Lakes #1) by Britt Andrews | Neon Gods (Dark Olympus #1) by Katee Robert

And there we go. Those are some of the paranormal/fantasy romances that I think are perfect for October. Like I said none of these are scary, but paranormal romance always does the trick. 

Have you read any of these? What did you think of them? Are you planning on reading them? What are some of the books that you would add to your list? So, let’s Chat! 

Secondary Characters Who Deserve More Love

Secondary Characters Who Deserve More Love

Aug 10, 2021

This week I’m sharing some of my favourite secondary characters. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

For me, secondary and minor characters can make or break a novel. They are the glue that can stick a novel together. So today I thought I would share some of my favourite secondary characters who I think, deserve some more love. From fantasy to romance novels and more, here are those characters that I want people to know more about. 

While doing this I realised that there are a lot of secondary characters that I love. There are so many that I would easily add to this list, but they end up having their own book. So I did play with the topic a little and while they might have their own book now if they were a secondary character in a book first, I’m including them. Like always these are in no order.  

The whole friendship group from One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston | Grim from Academy of Stardom by Bea Paige | Miles from Lore by Alexandra Bracken | Nick friendship group from The Extraordinaries by T.J Klune

Betsy from Lord of London Town by Tillie Cole | Kit from the Psy-Changeling Series by Nalini Singh | Bergman Family from the Bergman Brothers series by Chloe Liese | Ash from the Hades Hangmen series by Tillie Cole

And there we go, those are some of my favourite secondary characters that deserve more love. Have you read any of these books? Do you agree? Let’s Chat! 

 

Books I’d Want With Me While Stranded On a Deserted Island

Books I’d Want With Me While Stranded On a Deserted Island

Jul 27, 2021

This week I’m sharing the books that I want with me while stranded on a deserted island. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

If I somehow become stranded on a deserted island I would want my favourite books with me. The ones that would make me happy, the ones that would take me away. Those books just make me feel good. So, today I’m sharing not only the books I that would want with me while stranded on a deserted island, but some of my favourite reads. 

There are all different kinds of books on this list. From young adult to romance and everything in between. While I have been reading more romance over the last few years. YA still has a very big spot in my heart. And I mean if I could just have bind-up’s of all the series that I mention then I’ll be good. Anyway enough of this – let’s go. 

Check, Please! Book 1: #Hockey (Check, Please! #1-2) by Ngozi Ukazu | The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune | This is How We Change the Ending by Vikki Wakefield | Only When It’s Us (Bergman Brothers #1) by Chloe Liese

The Duchess Deal (Girl Meets Duke #1) by Tessa Dare |With the Fire on High by Elizabeth Acevedo| The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians #1) by Rick Riordan | Slave to Sensation (Psy-Changeling #1) by Nalini Singh

Lady Midnight (The Dark Artifices #1) by Cassandra Clare | Eyes Turned Skyward (Flight & Glory #2) by Rebecca Yarros

And there we go, those are the books that I would want to have with me if I was stranded on a deserted island. Have you read any of these? What did you think of them? Are you planning on reading them? Nevertheless, what are some of the books that you would want with you? So, let’s chat!

April was a very good reading month for me, especi April was a very good reading month for me, especially after last month. I had some really fantastic reads in April. I did do a lot of re-reading this month but I had such blast. I re-read Caught Up and Play Along and the first 4 books in the Ironside Academy series. 📚

I read some books that I’ve been waiting for including the new book from Kels and Denise Stone, as well as the new Tessa Hale. ✨

Overall it was such a good month, lots of binge reading series and starting on some new authors. I’m so excited to see what May brings. 🖤

What was your favourite book that you read in April?

IT’S RACE WEEK! 🏎️ If you didn’t know al IT’S RACE WEEK! 🏎️

If you didn’t know already I love F1, have ever since I was younger and decided that this year it would be fun to combined my love for F1 and reading together. 📚

After a week off we are back at it. We are in Miami this week’s and things are only just heating up. This week I’m reading Falling Off the Cliff  Kanitha P.

…

Formula 1 legend in the making and rising star Thiago Valencia is chasing redemption as well as his second World Champion title. With a tarnished reputation and an undetermined future in F1 that hangs by a terribly loose thread, he can’t afford to lose his seat. Thiago is ready to do anything to redeem himself and erase his past mistakes. When a mysterious woman intrudes on his private party in Monte Carlo, he is certain the universe has brought his polar opposite into his life as salvation. He is sunshine, she is moonlight; he is a bright star and she is a moonbeam.

Destiny takes the wheel, steering Kamari into Thiago’s orbit, but her open disdain and closely guarded heart warn her to stay away. Enchanted by her charms, Thiago is intent on melting her freezing barriers and tearing down the walls shielding her heart.

When Kamari agrees to help him save his future by being his fake girlfriend, the unexpected happens, triggered by a game of lies, secrets and desire.

As they plunge towards the finish line, the race veers offtrack and neither of them are ready to fall off the cliff.
…

A little late but I am finally getting to share Ra A little late but I am finally getting to share Race 5’s Race Week Reads review. This week I read, Downforce (Pit Lane #1) by Hannah Lily.

🏎️ Review 🏎️

I had so much fun reading this book. I knew I was in for a ride as soon as I started Downforce. It was entertaining, fun, and I just had a good time reading it. And while it does explore some heavy topics, I don’t think it took away from the fun nature of the book.

Right from the start, we can see the tension between F1 Presenter, Olivia Fraser and F1 Driver, Jonah Scott. And while silly at times, it was fun seeing them interact together. Both really didn’t like each other. They both had said things about and to one another that sometimes it caused chaos. And I was here for it.

I did find that at times, just silly things happened. I am not a massive rom-com reader, and there was a lot of falling into one another, and arguments stemmed from nothing. This is honestly just because I don’t like these types of scenes, but it didn’t really make me dislike the book at all.

I loved the whole road trip aspect of the book, it’s different from other F1 books I’ve read so far this year and just made for some interesting banter and lust. I do wish that the road trip was a little longer than it was because I did feel like the romance moved pretty quickly here, but again, it didn’t really affect how much I was enjoying the book.

The romance was this combination of being slow burn and full of angst right at the start, to the road trip happening and then bam. But I loved it, though. The banter between Olivia and Jonah was fantastic. I loved seeing them grow not only with one another but with themselves as well.

Overall, I had a great time reading Downforce and will be continuing the series for sure when the other books come out. The romance was angsty and just felt right. The found family aspect really worked well here, and the F1 aspects were pretty okay. Not the best I’ve seen, but not the worst either. If you are looking for a fun read that has a great romance and a little rom-comy, then pick this one up.
I’ve already had a pretty amazing reading year. I’ve already had a pretty amazing reading year. There have been so many books that I have enjoyed but there are some that I have just loved. 🖤

I didn’t realise before I put this post together that all of these books are from authors I’ve read and loved before. There hasn’t been a Rebecca Yarros book that I haven’t rated under 4 Stars. Elsie Silver is just making me love everything that she writes. Wild and Wrangled may be my favourite in the series. 📖

Three rereads also made it to this list. Binding 13 still makes me gasp and smile all at the same time. And Caught Up and Play Along just hit every time. 📚

I’ve honestly had a great year so far and since making this post a few more books I’ve read I’ve ended up loving. It’s going to be hard to pick my favourites at the end of the year that is for sure. ✨

What books have you loved reading this year? Are any books that made my list on yours? Let me know!
