May 17, 2022

I’ve gotten a lot of books this year, and I have read a good chunk of them. But there are still so many that I haven’t read yet. So today I’m sharing the books that I was excited to get this year but still haven’t had the chance to read.

There are mostly romances on this list because that is pretty much all I’ve been reading for the past year. But I’m excited to pick these ones up. As always these are in no real order. Let’s go.

A Pack of Blood and Lies (The Boulder Wolves #1) by Olivia Wildenstein | A Deal with the Elf King (Married to Magic #1) by Elise Kova | Punk 57 by Penelope Douglas | Immortal Plunder (Pirates of Felicity #1) by Kelly St. Clare.

May 3, 2022

This week I’m sharing One-Word Reviews for the Last Ten Books I Read. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

This week was such an interesting and fun topic. It really made me think about the books I’ve read recently. I did combine some of the series I’ve read, so I wasn’t reviewing a batch of books from the one series and saying the same thing. Let’s get right into it, here are my one-word reviews for the last ten books I’ve read. As always these are in no order. 

Escaping Conviction (Conviction #1) by Greer Rivers: Unexpected.

Four Horsemen #1-4 by Sarah Bailey: Dark.

Collided (Dirty Air #2) by Lauren Asher: Highspeed.

The Vault #1-3 by Eden Summers: Sexy.

Lavender and Lightning (Pack Saint Clair #2) by Thora Woods: Pretty. 

Doing It Right by Harloe Rae: Eh.

Praise (Salacious Players Club #1) by Sara Cate: Hmm.

Taken by a Sinner (Sinners #1) by Michelle Heard: Okay.

Books I Love With People On The Cover

Apr 26, 2022

This week I’m sharing the books I’ve loved with people on the cover Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

Images of people of covers are very debated in the community. And while I don’t hate people on covers as some people do, I don’t always love them. So today I thought I would share some of my favourite books that have a person on the cover. I get why people don’t always like these covers, but sometimes they are just fantastic.  

There is a range of different books that have made my list from young adult to romances. And as always these are in no order. Let’s Go!

Lilacs and Leather (Pack Saint Clair #1) by Thora Woods | Lola & the Millionaires: Part One (Sweet Omegaverse #2). by Kathryn Moon | Brutal Prince (Brutal Birthright #1) by Sophie Lark. | Pestilence (The Four Horsemen #1) by Laura Thalassa.

Slave to Sensation (Psy-Changeling #1) by Nalini Singh | Vampire Academy (Vampire Academy #1) by Richelle Mead. | Hate (Madison Kate #1) by Tate James | Pushing the Limits (Pushing the Limits #1) by Katie McGarry.

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?
