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.

And there we go. So now I don’t expect to read all of these books. But I at least want to hit every prompt. I’m so excited to do this readathon and I hope that you join me along the way. I’m going to try and do some more posts about indie books that I love in July as well.

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!

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?

January was a really solid reading month. I read s January was a really solid reading month. I read some books that had been on my tbr for some time, reread a few things that peaked my interest. I also started a few new series. And just had a good time!

I just had a really good start to the year. While February is a little slow so far I’m looking forward to what I can pick up.

What did you read in January? Any 5-star reads? Let’s chat!
