Books On My Winter 2022 To-Read List

Books On My Winter 2022 To-Read List

Jun 28, 2022

This week’s Top Ten Tuesday is Winter TBR’s Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

It is supposed to be a summer tbr. However, since it’s winter here in Australia, I’m sharing the books that I am hoping to read this winter.  

In July I’m doing the Indie Accords and I’m hoping to read as many books of that tbr as possible. There are also some traditionally published books I want to read as well. There is a mix of dark romances, contemporary romances and a little in between. As well as new releases and backlist titles. 

 Now, let’s get into it these are the books I want to read this winter. As always these are in no order. 

Rock Addiction (Rock Kiss #1) by Nalini Singh | A Lady for a Duke by Alexis Hall. | The Never King (Vicious Lost Boys #1) by Nikki St. Crowe | Wicked Beauty (Dark Olympus #3) by Katee Robert.

Moonstruck (Necessary Evils #3) by Onley James | Blood Bonds (The Bonds That Tie #3) by J. Bree. | Gild (The Plated Prisoner #1) by Raven Kennedy | Promises and Pomegranates (Monsters & Muses #1) by Sav R. Miller. 

Archangel’s Kiss (Guild Hunter #2) by Nalini Singh | Lovelight Farms (Lovelight Farms #1) by B.K. Borison.

And there we go. Those are some of the books that I plan to read this winter. What are some of the books that you are planning to read the next few months? Have you read anything from my list? Did you like them? 

What have been some of your favourite books that you have read this year? What have been something you haven’t liked? 

Indie Accords 2022 TBR

Indie Accords 2022 TBR

Jun 23, 2022

Today I’m doing something a little different. I am not normally one to participate in readathons. I’m a massive mood reader and I can’t really sick to tbr’s that much. But July is the month of the Indie Accords and well nearly everything I read these days is Indie. 

The Indie Accords is a month-long readathon that celebrates indie and self-published books. It was created by the lovely Lana from Lore & Lullabies. You can check out her blog and youtube now. It begins July 1st in your own timezone and runs until 11:59 pm 31st of July.

You can check out more information about the Indie Accords here. But also check out the hashtag #IndieAccordsReadathon22 on Twitter to see what everyone is planning to read. 

While also reading as many indie books and self-published as you can, there is also prompts that you can also complete. So today I’m sharing with you the books that I’m hoping to read throughout the month to complete these challenges. Because I am such a mood reader, I am picking a few books per prompt and will just see what I feel like reading.

Anyway, here we go. I’ve split this up into the prompts, but I will also just read other indie books throughout the month. I might not read everything from this list. But I want to read at least one from each prompt. So let’s go. 

Read A Host Favourite – Check them out here. 

Air Awakens (Air Awakens #1) by Elise Kova | Lovelight Farms (Lovelight Farms #1) by B.K. Borison | The Flames of Albiyon by Jean Menzies | Fantasy of Frost (The Tainted Accords #1) by Kelly St. Clare.

Read an author from a different country to the one you live In.

Stalked by the Kraken (Monstrous Matches #1) by Lillian Lark | The Princess Trap by Talia Hibbert | Moonstruck (Necessary Evils #3) by Onley James | The Beast (Wicked Villains #4) by Katee Robert.

Read a book for its cover.

A Cursed Kiss (Myths of Airren #1) by Jenny Hickman | Tales You Win (Grim & Beast Duet #1) by Bea Paige | Her Soul to Take (Souls Trilogy #1) by Harley Laroux.  | Lore & Lust (Lore & Lust #1) by Karla Nikole. 

Read in a different format than you usually do.

For me, this is reading indie books in physical form. So I am going to try and knock off some of the books I have on my physical tbr. 

Fortune Favors the Cruel (Dark Maji #1) by Kel Carpenter | Reel (Hollywood Renaissance #1) by Kennedy Ryan. | The Doctor (Nashville Neighborhood #1) by Nikki Sloane | Savage Lands (Savage Lands #1) by Stacey Marie Brown.

My Current Libro.fm TBR

My Current Libro.fm TBR

Jun 9, 2022

After seeing Ely share her latest Libro.fm books I thought I would share some of the books that are currently on my tbr with Libro.fm. 

Libro.fm is a platform where you can purchase audiobooks from local bookstores. Since it’s a US-based program, it doesn’t work for me. However as I’m part of their ACL program, I receive free audiobooks in exchange for talking about them.

So let’s get right into it. Here are the books that are currently on my tbr from Libro.fm. There is a range of different audiobooks here and I’m excited to get into my next one. Okay, here we go. 

A Lady for a Duke by Alexis Hall | Book Lovers by Emily Henry | Together We Burn by Isabel Ibañez | I Kissed Shara Wheeler by Casey McQuiston.

The Lost Dreamer by Lizz Huerta | The Atlas Six (The Atlas #1) by Olivie Blake  | A Brush with Love by Mazey Eddings | Bright Burning Things by Lisa Harding.

The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina by Zoraida Córdova | The Dating Dare (A Sweet Mess #2) by Jayci Lee.

And there we go. Those are the audiobooks that I currently have from libro.fm. Have you listen to any of these? What did you think of them? 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!
