Top Ten Tuesday

Books on my TBR with Water on the Cover

Books on my TBR with Water on the Cover

Aug 29, 2023

This week I’m sharing the books that I have on my TBR with water on the cover. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

This week is all about water. So I decided to share the books that I currently have on my TBR that have some form of water on the cover. From the ocean and the beach to ice. It’s all types of water here. And I decided to share the books that I am also looking forward to reading soon. 

So let’s get into it. Here are the books currently on my TBR that have some sort of form of water on the cover. As always these are in order. 

Thicker Than Water by Brigid Kemmerer | Out on a Limb by Hannah Bonam-Young. | Sunny Disposition (Mendell Hawks #1) by Deanna Grey.  | Dare to Kiss You. (The Donnellys of Dogwood Cove #1) by Julia Jarrett.

Promise Me by Ashlee Rose. | Beautiful Things (Second Sons, #1) by Emily Rath. | Rebound (Pucks & Rainbows, #1) by L.A. Witt. | Do I Know You? by Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka.

Weightless by Kandi Steiner. | The Pool Boy (Nashville Neighborhood, #2) by Nikki Sloane.

And there we go. Those are the books that are on my TBR that have some form of water on the front cover. Some of these books have been on my TBR for a while, some are more recent. But I am excited for them. Have you read any of these books? Do you plan on reading them? So let’s chat! 

Young Adult Books I Still Love Recommending

Young Adult Books I Still Love Recommending

Aug 22, 2023

 

This week I’m sharing young adult books that I still love recommending. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

I thought I would wind it back today and share some of the young adult books I love and still recommend. If you didn’t know I’m a bookseller, I recommend books every single day. And I thought why not share some of the young adult books that I loved reading and still love, and would recommend today. And while this week is a genre freebie, I decided to play on it a little and share a readership rather than a genre.  

So let’s get into it! These are the young adult books that I love and want everyone to read. As always these are in no order. 

Vampire Academy (Vampire Academy, #1) by Richelle Mead. | Angelfall (Penryn & the End of Days. #1) by Susan Ee. | Daughter of Smoke & Bone. (Daughter of Smoke & Bone. #1) by Laini Taylor. | The Lightning Thief. (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, #1) by Rick Riordan.

Pushing the Limits (Pushing the Limits, #1) by Katie McGarry.  | The Winner’s Curse (The Winner’s Trilogy. #1) by Marie Rutkoski. | Cinder. (The Lunar Chronicles. #1) by Marissa Meyer. | Every Breath (Every, #1) by Ellie Marney.

Trial by Fire (Worldwalker, #1) by Josephine Angelini. | And I Darken (The Conqueror’s Saga, #1) by Kiersten White.

And there we go. Those are some of the young adult titles that I loved when I first read them, still do. And still love recommending them now. Have you read any of these? What did you think of them? So, let’s chat! 

 

 

Books I’ve Added To My TBR Because of TTT

Books I’ve Added To My TBR Because of TTT

Aug 8, 2023

This week I’m sharing some of the books I’ve added to my TBR because of Top Ten Tuesdays. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

Today’s topic is all about books we have added to our tbr because of Top Ten Tuesday posts. Now I am going, to be honest here. I don’t know when I added them to my tbr or from where I saw them. I just know that it got added to my TBR partly because I saw them on Top Ten Tuesdays as well as on social media. 

I’m always adding books to my tbr, all the time. Sometimes they get added to my Goodreads. Sometimes I screenshot them or check out if they are on KU and download them right away. Either way, they get added to one of my many tbrs. I’ve also been blogging for over 10 years now and I’ve been doing TTT for nearly just as long, so there are books on here that I added to my tbr some time ago. 

There is a range of books on here. From new books to some that have been out for a while. Romance and New Adult to even some young adult books. So let’s get into it, here are the books I’ve added to my tbr because of Top Ten Tuesday. As always these are in no particular order. 

Girl Out of Water by Laura Silverman. | The Widow of Rose House. by Diana Biller. | Thicker Than Water by Brigid Kemmerer. | A Lesson in Thorns (Thornchapel. #1) by Sierra Simone.

Priceless by Miranda Silver. | The Jasmine Throne. (The Burning Kingdoms. #1) by Tasha Suri. | Idol (VIP. #1) by Kristen Callihan. | Blame It on the Tequila. (Blame it on the Alcohol. #2) by Fiona Cole.

A Lady for a Duke by Alexis Hall | The Unseelie Prince (Maze of Shadows, #1) by Kathryn Ann Kingsley.

And there we go. Those are just some of the books that I have added to my tbr because of Top Ten Tuesday. Have you read any of these books? Are there any that you plan on reading? What books made it onto your tbr? So, 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!
