Top Ten Tuesday

Books With an Adjective In the Title

Books With an Adjective In the Title

Mar 22, 2022

This week I’m sharing books with an adjective in the title. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

This week’s Top Ten Tuesday was a little. I really had to think and put my editing brain back on. Today I share books with adjectives in the title. I’m not going to lie here I really had to think about the books I was picking, and I might have got a few wrong. But I still had lots of fun. 

So let’s go, these are the books with an adjective in the title. There is a mix of books here and as always these are in no order. 

Twisted Games (Twisted #2) by Ana Huang | Electric Idol (Dark Olympus #2) by Katee Robert – Discussion | Wicked Gods (Gifted Academy #1) by Michelle Hercules  | Daring and the Duke (The Bareknuckle Bastards #3) by Sarah MacLean.

Cold-Hearted Rake (The Ravenels #1) by Lisa Kleypas | In Deeper Waters by F.T. Lukens – discussion | Savage Lover (Brutal Birthright #3) by Sophie Lark | Undercover Duke (Duke Dynasty #4) by Sabrina Jeffries.

My Darling Duke (Sinful Wallflowers #1) by Stacy Reid | The Rebel King (All the King’s Men #2) by Kennedy Ryan.

And there we go! Those are some of the books that I have loved with an adjective in the title. Have you read any of the books I mentioned? What did you think of them? Are you planning on reading them? Let’s Chat! 

Books On My Autumn 2022 TBR

Books On My Autumn 2022 TBR

Mar 15, 2022

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

I know I always say this, but there are just so many books coming out this year. So today I’m sharing the books that are coming out through Autumn here in Australia. Or the months of March, April and May. I’m so excited for so many books in the coming months and they all didn’t make this list. But these are the ones that if I had them now I would love it. 

As most of my lists and reading have been going the past year, most of these books on my Autumn tbr are romances. Which I love. This list is a mish mush of new books in a series, new books altogether and some books from authors I haven’t read yet. So let’s go, as always these are in no order. Here are the books on my Autumn tbr. 

Lavender and Lightning (Pack Saint Clair #2) by Thora Woods | Caution to the Wind (The Fallen Men #7). by Giana Darling | Compelled (Shadow Beast Shifters #5) by Jaymin Eve | The Dragon’s Bride (A Deal With A Demon #1) by Katee Robert.

So This Is Ever After by F.T. Lukens | Dating Dr. Dil (If Shakespeare was an Auntie #1) by Nisha Sharma. | I Kissed Shara Wheeler by Casey McQuiston | A Duke for Diana (Designing Debutantes #1) by Sabrina Jeffries. 

Under One Roof (The STEMinist Novellas #1) by Ali Hazelwood | The Agathas by Kathleen Glasgow and Liz Lawson.

And there we go. Those are the books that I would love to read this Autumn. I’m hoping that will at least get to a few of them. What are you looking forward to reading this autumn/spring

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!
