A Slow and Steady Month | February Wrap Up

Mar 10, 2024

So it’s been a while since you have seen me. Over the past few weeks, I’ve had some problems with Angel Reads. But I’m hoping we are getting somewhere with it. So to get back into it, I thought I would share the books I read in February.

It’s honestly not been a fantastic start to the year and I’m not reading as much as I usually do, but I’m going steady. I read 15 books in February, which is a steady number for me. I did do a few re-reads as I was feeling myself falling into a slump. But I do hope that I am finally getting out of it.

So let’s get into it, here are the books that I read this February. As always these are in no real order.

A Decent Start To The Year | January Wrap Up

Feb 1, 2024

Well, it’s already been a pretty decent start to the year. I’m not going to lie, I was in a small slump at the start of the month. I just didn’t know what I wanted to read half the time. I would start something and then just not want to read much more. But I did a few re-reads and that slowly got me out of my slump.

It was a mix of romance this month. From rockstar romances to some omegaverse and fantasy. Really shows how much of a mood reader I am that is for sure. Also, most of what I read was fantastic this month. I even had my first 5-star read! What? But I am super excited to keep on reading more this year.

So let’s get into it, here are the 14 books I read in January. I would say that is a pretty decent start to the year. As always these are in no real order.

My Year in Books 2023 | Part 1

Jan 14, 2024

It’s that time again. Over the past few years, I’ve liked to share all the books I’ve read in the previous year. And while it takes me ages, I love sharing them with you. So today it’s time to share all the books I read in 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. And 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 3 different 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 January-April in 2023. As always these are in no real order.
