Top Ten Tuesday

Most Anticipated Books Releasing In The Second Half of 2023

Most Anticipated Books Releasing In The Second Half of 2023

Jul 11, 2023

This week I’m sharing my most anticipated books releasing during the second half of 2023. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

It’s freebie week this week and I decided to pick a topic that I missed a few weeks ago and share with you some of my most anticipated books releasing during the second half of the year. 

I can’t believe that it’s already July! Where has this year gone? I’ve had a pretty good reading year so far, and there are so many books that I am looking forward to reading in the second half of the year. There are also so many books releasing during the second half of 2023 that I cannot wait to read. And this is a great post to get at least some of them down. 

So let’s get into it. Here are some of my most anticipated books releasing during the second half of 2023 that I cannot wait to read. As always these are in no real order. 

Iron Flame (The Empyrean, #2) by Rebecca Yarros. | Better Hate than Never (The Wilmot Sisters, #2) by Chloe Liese. | Hopeless. (Chestnut Springs. #5) by Elsie Silver. | Madame (Salacious Players Club, #6) by Sara Cate.

Iris Kelly Doesn’t Date (Bright Falls, #3) by Ashley Herring Blake. | Wildfire (Maple Hills, #2) by Hannah Grace. | Pucking Wild. (Jacksonville Rays. #2) by Emily Rath. | Love Redesigned (Lakefront Billionaires, #1) by Lauren Asher.

Hunt on Dark Waters (Crimson Sails, #1) by Katee Robert. | The Chalice of the Gods (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, #6) by Rick Riordan.

And there we go. Those are some of my most anticipated reads for the second half of 2023. I’m so excited about all of these, and I don’t know what I want to read first. Nevertheless, what are excited to read? Are any of the books on my list on yours? So, let’s chat! 

Books with Red, White And Blue Covers That I Love

Books with Red, White And Blue Covers That I Love

Jul 4, 2023

This week I’m sharing the books that I have liked reading with red, white and blue covers. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

The topic for this week Top Ten Tuesday was a little different. It’s all about the colours of your country’s flag. Since I am from Australia, our colours are similar to a lot of other flags of the world, and they are Red, White and Blue. So today I’m sharing the books that I have enjoyed reading with red, white or blue covers. They can have other colours in there, but they are to be predominantly; red, white or blue. This was a lot of fun and I had a great time going through the books I’ve enjoyed and finding covers that match.

Anyway, let’s get into it. Here are the books that have either red, white or blue covers. As always these are in no real order. 

The Longing of Lone Wolves (Fae Guardians. #1) by Lana Pecherczyk. | The Kraken’s Sacrifice. (A Deal With a Demon, #2) by Katee Robert.  | A Soul to Keep (Duskwalker Brides. #1) by Opal Reyne. | A Little Too Wild. (Madigan Mountain, #3) by Devney Perry.

 

Pucking Around (Jacksonville Rays, #1) by Emily Rath. | Not Your Pucking Girl (Kings of Denver #1) by Sheridan Anne. | From Lukov with Love Mariana Zapata. | Death Wish (Reaper Reborn, #1) by Harper A. Brooks.

Two Wrongs Make a Right (The Wilmot Sisters, #1) by Chloe Liese. | Where Good Girls Go To Die (Good Girls, #1) by Holly Renee.

So, there we go! That was a lot of fun. I had a great time putting this post together. What are some of the books that made it to your list? Are there any books that we both have on our lists? Nevertheless, Let’s Chat!

Books on My Winter 2023 to-Read List

Books on My Winter 2023 to-Read List

Jun 20, 2023

This week I’m sharing the books I want to read this winter. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

I know it’s been a little bit since I posted, but life is getting a little in the way. Last week I got back from the Ballgown and Books Event in Syndey and went right back to work. Which meant I didn’t have much time to get in posts done. So I thought a great way to get back into it, is to share the books I want to read in the coming months.

It’s winter now here in Australia and the more it rains the more I want to stay inside even more. And what better way to stay warm and dry than to read as much as I want? Today I’m sharing the books that I’m hoping to read in the next couple of months. From books that have been on my tbr for a while, to newer books that have caught my eye. And hopefully, I can continue some series’ as well. As always these are in no order, let’s go! 

Please check the trigger and content warnings before picking up any of these books. 

The Ritual by Shantel Tessier | Reckless (Chestnut Springs, #4) by Elsie Silver. | If Only You (Bergman Brothers, #6) by Chloe Liese. | Moon Touched (Zodiac Wolves, #1) by Elizabeth Briggs.

A Soul to Heal (Duskwalker Brides, #2) by Opal Reyne. | Princes of Chaos (Royals of Forsyth University, #7) by Angel Lawson and Samantha Rue. | The Sinner and the Scholar by Lana Pecherczyk. | Poison Roses (Boys of Bellerose, #1) by Jaymin Eve and Tate James.

Waiting to Score (Pierson U #1) by Elouise Tynan. | The Unwanted Marriage (The Windsors, #3) by Catharina Maura.

And there we go. Those are some of the books that I want to read in the coming months. Have you read any of these? What did you think of them? Are you planning on reading any of these books? Nevertheless, what is on your winter/summer 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!
