Top Ten Tuesday

My Favourite Recent Fictional Crushes

My Favourite Recent Fictional Crushes

Aug 31, 2021

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

Today I thought I would have a little fun with this week’s Top Ten Tuesday. I thought I would share some of my favourite recent fictional crushes. But I changed it a little. I’m not just sharing those I have fallen in love with, but those who call to me. Those that scream and shout and won’t let me forget them. So there we go, here are some of my favourite recent fictional crushes. 

Oz from Nowhere But Here (Thunder Road #1) by Katie McGarry – Reread | Hades from Neon Gods (Dark Olympus #1) by Katee Robert – Discussion | August from One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston  | Axel from With You Forever (Bergman Brothers #4) by Chloe Liese – Review.

Hades and Persephone from Punderworld, Volume 1 by Linda Šejić | King from Lessons in Corruption (The Fallen Men #1) by Giana Darling – Review | Lore from Lore by Alexandra Bracken – Discussion | Steele from the Madison Kate series by Tate James – Review. 

Hawke from Kiss of Snow (Psy-Changeling #10) by Nalini Singh | Lady Penelope Campion from The Wallflower Wager (Girl Meets Duke #3) by Tessa Dare. 

And there we go! Those are some of my recent fictional crushes. Are any of these on your list? Who is on your list? Let’s Chat! 

Also if you haven’t followed me on TikTok already and you want to, I’m posting over there every day – and it’s all about romance. 

Ten Books I Want To Re-Read

Ten Books I Want To Re-Read

Aug 24, 2021

books I want to re-read

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

So I had to mix this weeks topic a little as I did the original topic just a few weeks ago. If you want to check out the books that I wish I could read again for the first time you can. Instead today I’m sharing the books that I really want to re-read. I love re-reading, it’s one of my favourite things to do. I do a lot of re-read during the year especially when I have no idea what I want to read or I feel like I’m going into a slump. 

And while I re-read through the whole year, December is when I do most of my re-reading. It’s a combination of being super busy at work and not wanting to start anything that I won’t finish. So let’s see the books that I want to re-read in the next few months. Like always these are in no order.

My Favourite Places To Read

My Favourite Places To Read

Aug 17, 2021

This week I’m sharing my favourite places that I love to read. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

I don’t read in a lot of different places, especially over the past year or so. As I’m writing this my state has gone into another lockdown. This is lockdown number #6, and my places to read at the moment are very limited. Meaning I can only just read at home. But anyway, today I’m sharing some of the places that I love to read. From places inside to outside here are some of my favourite places, like always these are in no order. 

My bed: This is probably my favourite place to read, it’s where I get most of my reading done. Especially right now as it’s winter and can get pretty cold. I can rug up, be under my blankets and stay warm. Sometimes it gets a little comfortable.

The train: While this isn’t exactly my favourite place to read, it’s where I get most of it done. I take the train too and from work when we aren’t in lockdown. It’s about a 40 min ride each way – so I get a lot of reading done this way.

Outside in the Sun: In the summer one of my favourite places to read is outside. I love the sun hitting me, the heat warming me up. And just taking everything in. It’s one of the most relaxing ways to read and I really did enjoy doing it. 

On the Beach/By the Pool: When we aren’t in lockdown and it’s summer, I do love reading by a pool or on the beach. Again, it’s the feeling of the sun on my skin. I really do miss reading like this – hopefully soon.

On the Couch: This is another place that I like to read in winter. We have a wood heater downstairs in the lounge and it’s the perfect way to warm up and read. It’s always one of my favourite places to do some reading at my best friend Ely’s house! We curl up and just chill.

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!
