This week I’m sharing some of the books on my spring tbr. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

I can’t believe it’s already the middle of September. It’s honestly crazy how quickly this year has gone. And now that this gorgeous weather is hitting Melbourne, it’s feeling like spring.  So for this week’s Top Ten Tuesday, I’m sharing the books on my spring TBR. 

There are a mix of books on the list today. Some are new books from authors and series I love. Some are some books that have been on my TBR for a little while now. I’m trying to read as many books from my TBR this September and I’m doing pretty okay so far, so hoping I can get a few more down. But there are also so many books I’m excited to read coming out as well. 

So let’s get right into it. Here are ten books that I want to read this Spring. As always these are in no real order.

Iron Flame (The Empyrean. #2) by Rebecca Yarros. – Fourth Wing Review. | Hopeless (Chestnut Springs. #5) by Elsie Silver. | Madame. (Salacious Players’ Club #6) by Sara Cate. | The Broken Vows (The Windsors #4) Catharina Maura.

Favourite Bookish Relationships  | TTT

Sep 12, 2023

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

I had a lot of fun with this week’s Top Ten Tuesday. You all know that the romance genre is my favourite. So I had a lot of books to pick from. But I tried to narrow it down as much as I could. So today I’m sharing some of my favourite relationships from books.

I am not going to lie, I probably missed so many that I loved, but I could only pick ten. I also did still to romantic relationships as then I would be here forever and could not get close to picking ten.  So let’s get into it, here are some of my favourite relationships from books. As always these are in no order. 

Millie and Zack from Tempt (Cloverleigh Farms, #9) by Melanie Harlow. | Cade and Willa from Heartless (Chestnut Springs. #2) by Elsie Silver | Hades and Zed, Lucus and Cass. from Hades Series by Tate James. | Iris and Dex from Under Locke by Mariana Zapata.

Asher and Kole from Line Mates & Study Dates. (CU Hockey. #4) by Eden Finley and Saxon James. Delilah and Claire from Delilah Green Doesn’t Care.

Willa and Ryder from Only When It’s Us (Bergman Brothers. #1) by Chloe Liese. | Lola and Leo, Rake, Caleb, Matthieu, Wes and Cyrus from Lola & the Millionaires by Kathryn Moon.

And there we go, those are just some of my favourite relationships from books. Have you read any of the books I’ve mentioned? Who made it onto your list? So let’s chat! 

Books That Defied My Expectations

Books That Defied My Expectations

Sep 5, 2023

This week I’m sharing the books that defied my expectations. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

I had a lot of fun with this week’s topic. So I decided I would share the five books that I didn’t know if I was going to like and ended up loving, and then five that I thought that I was going to really enjoy and didn’t. 

I share a lot about the books that I love reading and not so much about the books that weren’t for me. And today I get to share both. I just want to make a quick note, these are just my opinions. Sometimes a book just isn’t for me, but you might love it. And that is what reading is about. I might also love a book that you hate. And that is okay. 

So let’s get right into it. Here are the books that defied my expectations. The five books that surprised me with how much I loved them. And the five books that were a letdown. As always these are in no real order. 

The Books That Defied My Expectations and Surprised Me 

Babymoon or Bust by Ava Hunter – Review. | Muscles & Monsters (Leviathan Fitness. #1) by Ashley Bennett. | Delilah Green Doesn’t Care. (Bright Falls. #1) by Ashley Herring Blake. | The Mindf*ck Series (Mindf*ck, #1-5) by S.T. Abby.

Lola & the Millionaires: Part One and Two. (Sweet Omegaverse, #2/#3) by Kathryn Moon.

The Books That Defied My Expectations and Disappointed Me 

Mistakes Were Made by Meryl Wilsner. | The Words by Ashley Jade. | Knot My Type. (All Access. #1) by Evie Mitchell. | Custom Built. (Fast & Fury. #1) by Chantal Fernando.

Hands Down by Mariana Zapata.

And there we go. Those are just some of the books that defied my expectations in either a good or bad way. Have you read any of these books? What are your thoughts on them? What are the books that made it onto your list this week? Let’s chat!

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!
