Most Anticipated Reads For The First Half of 2023

Jan 10, 2023

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

There are so many books that I am excited to read this year. And while I know there are many when it came to this post I just forgot so many of them. But here are the ones that I know I cannot wait to read. Some are new books in a series that I love. Some are from new to me authors. And I don’t even know too much about it. All I know is that I want to read them. 

So let’s get right into it. Here are some of my most anticipated reads for the first half of 2023. As always these are in no particular order. 

Radiant Sin (Dark Olympus #4) by Katee Robert | Poison Roses (Boys of Bellerose #1) by Jaymin Eve and Tate James. | Final Offer (Dreamland Billionaires #3) by Lauren Asher. | Chain of Thorns (The Last Hours #3) by Cassandra Clare. 

The Nanny by Lana Ferguson | Love, Theoretically by Ali Hazelwood. | The Gargoyle’s Captive (A Deal With a Demon #3) by Katee Robert. | Highest Bidder (Salacious Players Club #5) by Sara Cate.

TCOOAC (The Mortal Fates #1) by J. Bree | Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros.

And there we go. Those are the books on my list! What made it to your list for this year? 

My Favorite Books of 2022

Jan 3, 2023

This week I’m sharing my favourite reads of 2022. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

Welcome to the new year and the first Top Ten Tuesday of 2023. Today I am sharing my favourite books of 2022. It was quite hard putting this list together as I had so many good reads. So in the end I read 231 books, over 65,804 pages. And my favourite part; a whole heap of romance books. 

So when putting this list together I had to really think about the books I love. I don’t get 5 stars out a lot, and the same went for this year. But I also loved a lot of books this year. There was a heap of 4-star reads. When I put this list together I tried to pick one book per series, and one book per author. It didn’t always turn out that way, but I tried.

So let’s go, here are my favourite reads for 2022. And let’s hope that we all have a fantastic reading year in 2023, without a doubt it’s going to be a good one.

The Dragon’s Bride (A Deal With a Demon #1) by Katee Robert | Everything for You (Bergman Brothers #5) by Chloe Liese. | Delilah Green Doesn’t Care (Bright Falls #1) by Ashley Herring Blake | The Longing of Lone Wolves (Fae Guardians #1) by Lana Pecherczyk.

Broken Bonds (The Bonds That Tie #1) by J. Bree | Unhinged (Necessary Evils #1) by Onley James | Mixed Signals (Lovelight #3) by B.K. Borison. | Two Wrongs Make a Right (The Wilmot Sisters #1) by Chloe Liese.

Electric Idol (Dark Olympus #2) by Katee Robert  | Find Me (WITSEC #1) by Ashley N. Rostek | From Lukov with Love by Mariana Zapata. | Lilacs and Leather (Pack Saint Clair #1) by Thora Woods.

And there we go. Those are my favourite books for 2022. And yes I do know there are more than 10 here. I just wasn’t able to pick. Have you read any of these? What did you think of them? Are you planning on reading any of them? And what books were your favourite in 2022? So, 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!
