Top Ten Tuesday

Books I Enjoyed, But Rarely Mention On Angel Reads

Books I Enjoyed, But Rarely Mention On Angel Reads

Mar 1, 2022

This week I’m sharing the books I’ve enjoyed, but rarely mention on Angel Reads. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

This was a really interesting topic this week. I changed it up a little bit, because I talk about nearly every book that I read on here. So I thought change it to books that I rarely talk about that I enjoyed. Most of these I gave 4 stars and above, but I just seem to not talk about them a lot. Enough of this let’s get right into it. And as always these are in no order. 

My Darling Duke (Sinful Wallflowers #1) by Stacy Reid | The Extraordinaries (The Extraordinaries #1) by T.J. Klune | To Love and to Loathe (The Regency Vows #2) by Martha Waters | Get a Life, Chloe Brown (The Brown Sisters #1) by Talia Hibbert.

Rebel (Women Who Dare #1) by Beverly Jenkins | Birthday Shot by Rilzy Adams | Playing with Fire by L.J. Shen | Drag Me Up (Gods of Hunger #1) by R.M. Virtues.

The Ones Who Got Away (The Ones Who Got Away #1) by Roni Loren | The Kingmaker (All the King’s Men #1) by Kennedy Ryan.

Those are the books I’ve enjoyed reading, but rarely mention on the blog. As I said before, I really enjoyed all of these books a lot. I need to talk about them more for sure. Have you read any of these? What books made your list? Let’s Chat! 

Dynamic Duos and Teams That Just Work | TTT

Dynamic Duos and Teams That Just Work | TTT

Feb 22, 2022

This week I’m sharing the duos and teams in books that just work. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

I changed this weeks topic up just a little because I realised I love more teams than duos. I also played with it and I didn’t just include friendships groups or pairs. Also I included any other relationships. This post was really fun to put together and with Valentines Day being yesterday, I did pick a lot of romantic relationships too. 

I’ve been reading some really interesting romances lately and some duos and teams even made this list. As always these are in no order. Let’s get into it.

Merry Thieves from The Last Hours series by Cassandra Clare | Crows from Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo | Sienna and Hawk from Kiss of Snow (Psy-Changeling #10) by Nalini Singh | August’s Friendship Group from One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston.

Persephone and Hades from Neon Gods (Dark Olympus #1) by Katee Robert | Lola and her Pack from Lola & the Millionaires by Kathryn Moon | Olive and Adam from The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood | Hades and her boys from the Hades series by Tate James.

Linus and the Crew from The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune | Jack and Bittle from Check Please! by Ngozi Ukazu.

And there we go, those are some of my favourite duos and teams. I love that I have a mix of relationships here. Have you read any of these books? What do you think of my list? Who made it on yours? Let’s Chat! 

Books Too Good to Review Properly

Books Too Good to Review Properly

Feb 15, 2022

This week I’m sharing the books that were too good that I can’t review properly. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

I’ve read a lot of books over the last few years and I don’t have time to review them all, so today I thought I would share the books that I’ve really enjoyed reading but most likely won’t review properly. Sometimes I don’t know how to review a certain book, I just know that I loved it. There are times were I just don’t know what to say. And here are those books. As always these books aren’t in any partulaur order. 

King of Battle and Blood (Adrian X Isolde #1) by Scarlett St. Clair | Lola & the Millionaires: Part One and Two (Sweet Omegaverse #2) by Kathryn Moon | Check, Please! Book 1: #Hockey (Check, Please! #1-2) by Ngozi Ukazu | Through the Storm (Le Veq Family #1) by Beverly Jenkins.

The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller | You’d Be Mine by Erin Hahn | A Darker Shade of Magic (Shades of Magic #1) by V.E. Schwab | Sleeping Giants (Themis Files #1) by Sylvain Neuvel.

Heartstopper by Alice Oseman | Lore Olympus: Volume One (Lore Olympus Volumes #1) by Rachel Smythe

And there we go. Those are the books that I love but don’t think I will review properly. Have your read any of these books? What did you think? Are you planning on reading them? What books made your list? 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!
