Getting Right Back Into It | May Wrap Up

Getting Right Back Into It | May Wrap Up

Jun 2, 2022

May was a really good reading month for me. For the past few months, I just haven’t felt in the best mood to be reading. But I had a good start in May and got me right back into reading. 

It was a very up and down reading month bookwise. I adored some books and really didn’t like others. And then there were a few that sat in the middle. I read some books that have been on my tbr for some time as well as some new releases that I have been hanging for. But let’s get right into it. As always these are in no real order.

Not A Great Reading Month | April Wrap Up

Not A Great Reading Month | April Wrap Up

May 1, 2022

Well, I wasn’t expecting my April to go like this. I was finally back into reading after the slump I had last month. But then at the start of April, I ended up catching Covid… It wasn’t a great time, I was pretty out of it for a while. And even after I still wasn’t able to concentrate that much. Which lead to a not great reading month for me. 

So I re-read a few books and read some books that had been on my tbr for a while. I also was able to read a few novellas. By doing these few things, I was able to keep on reading without pushing myself too much. And while I didn’t read as much as I would have liked, I did read some fantastic books this month. So let’s get into it. These are the books I read in my not so great April. 

Delinquent (Academy of Misfits #1) by Bea Paige – Reread – 3.5 Stars | Reject (Academy of Misfits #2) by Bea Paige – Reread – 3.5 Stars | Family (Academy of Misfits #3) by Bea Paige – Reread – 3.5 Stars | The Fine Print (Dreamland Billionaires #1) by Lauren Asher – 4 Stars. 

Taken by a Sinner (Sinners #1) by Michelle Heard – 3 Stars | Praise (Salacious Players Club #1) by Sara Cate – 3.5 Stars | Doing It Right by Harloe Rae – 2 Stars | Lavender and Lightning (Pack Saint Clair #2) by Thora Woods – 4 Stars. 

Collided (Dirty Air #2) by Lauren Asher – 3 Stars | A Shot of Sin (The Vault #1) by Eden Summers – 3.5 Stars | Union of Sin (The Vault #2) by Eden Summers. – 3.5 Stars | Brutal Sin (The Vault #3) by Eden Summers – 3 Stars.

Carnage (Four Horsemen #1) by Sarah Bailey – 3 Stars | Chaos (Four Horsemen #2) by Sarah Bailey. – 3 Stars | Corrode (Four Horsemen #3) by Sarah Bailey – 3 Stars | Cataclysm (Four Horsemen #4) by Sarah Bailey – 3 Stars. 

Escaping Conviction (Conviction #1) by Greer Rivers – 3.5 Stars 

And there we go. Those are all the books that I read this April. Did you have a better reading month than me? What did you read? While I didn’t have a great April, I am hoping that next month is a little better. Let’s Chat! 

A Very Up and Down Reading Month | March Wrap Up

A Very Up and Down Reading Month | March Wrap Up

Mar 31, 2022

My march reading was very up and down. There was a good part of the month when I just didn’t read that much. Mostly it’s because I didn’t know what I wanted to read. And as a mood reader, it makes it hard to pick up a book. And then towards the end, I powered through. 

 I still managed to read a really good amount of books. With a lot of them being novellas or short stories. But I read some new authors, some books that have been on my tbr for a little while. And some really fun things. I tried some new things this month as well and I just had a lot of fun. So let’s get into it and 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?
