Top Ten Tuesday

Places In Books I’d Love to Live

Places In Books I’d Love to Live

Mar 30, 2021

This week I’m sharing the places in books that I would love to live. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

This week was a sort of hard one because most places in books especially fantasy aren’t all perfect. It’s a world and it there good and bad. But I dug deep and here are some of the places in books that I would love to live in, or maybe just visit. There is a mix of fantasy worlds with a mix of historical and contemporary worlds.  Sometimes I love the world because of what it is and what you can do. While others it’s the characters that make the world. But here we go, like always these are in no order. 

The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune | Grisha World by Leigh Bardugo | A Touch of Darkness (Hades & Persephone #1) by Scarlett St. Clair | The Shadowhunter World from Cassandra Clare

The Duke and I (Bridgertons, #1) by Julia Quinn | Psy-Changeling World from Nalini Singh | A King so Cold (Royals #1) by Ella Fields | Lux and Origin World from Jennifer L. Armentrout 

The Lunar Chronicles World from Marissa Meyer | Percy Jackson World from Rick Riordan 

And that is it for this weeks Top Ten Tuesday. As you can see some of the places I picked, won’t be fantastic to live, but hey they also have magic and I’m all here for that. What are some of the places that you would like to live or visit from a book? Do we share any that is the same? Let’s Chat!

Books On My 2021 Autumn TBR

Books On My 2021 Autumn TBR

Mar 16, 2021

autumn tbr post

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

Today I’m sharing the books that I want to go to in the next couple of months. These are a mix of new releases, backlist titles and books I’ve had on my tbr for some time. Working in a bookstore is very hard on my tbr so I end up getting books that I don’t always know I want until they arrive, but I’m trying really hard this year not to do that. Anyway here are the books that I want to read by the end of May. 

autumn tbr covers

Undercover Duke (Duke Dynasty #4) by Sabrina Jeffries: You all know how much I’m loving Sabrina Jeffires, and I also adore this series. You can check out my review latest book for more. I can’t wait to see where this story is going to be taken. 

Ariadne by Jennifer Saint: This wasn’t on my radar until recently. And let me tell you I’ve already pre-ordered it and I can’t wait to dig you. I love my re-tellings, especially my greek mythology ones and this just sounds absolutely fantastic. 

From Blood and Ash (Blood and Ash #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout: I finally got an ebook of this recently and I’m just waiting for the right time to dig in. But I feel like it’s going to be very soon. I’m so excited about it. I’ve loved Jennifer L. Armentrout’s books that I’ve read before and this sounds so good. 

The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie (Mackenzies & McBrides #1) by Jennifer Ashley: I’ve been wanting to read this for a while now. And I feel like it’s finally time for me to dig into it. It sounds really interesting, it has disability rep and it’s historical romance. So it sounds like me. 

autumn tbr covers

Our Year of Maybe by Rachel Lynn Solomon: I finally got a copy of this, last week. It might be a little bit before I pick it up, but I am super excited about it. All the reviews I’ve seen have been so good and it just sounds fantastic, but also like it will hurt me. I think it’s the perfect book to read this autumn though. 

Lore by Alexandra Bracken: I can’t wait to dig into this. There are mix reviews at the moment, but I feel it’s one of those books that you need to read for yourself. And then decide what you think. I have to be in the mood to read this one for sure though. 

Wild Rain (Women Who Dare #2) by Beverly Jenkins: I loved the first book in this series and I’ve loved other Jenkins books I’ve read before, so I am super excited to dig into this one. Plus it sounds fantastic. I love reading outside regency in my bubble. 

Perfect on Paper by Sophie Gonzales: I loved Sophie’s debut novel and this just sounds like it’s going to be just as good and perfect for Autumn. I already got my copy when it came in at work and I can’t wait to dig in. 

autumn tbr covers

Shadow and Bone (The Shadow and Bone Trilogy #1) by Leigh Bardugo: So I did that weird thing where I read Six of Crows before I picked up this series. But I want to read at least the first book before the show comes out. Which looks fantastic by the way. Let’s hope I get to it. 

Heartstopper: Volume One (Heartstopper #1) by Alice Oseman: This is one of the books that Ely picked for me this year to read and I’m finally reading it. I have all the parts that are out, as my little sister loves them. But I need to get on it. I’ve loved reading books from Oseman before, so this makes me excited. And this will be a perfect autumn read! 

And that is it for my Autumn TBR! What do you plan to read in the next couple of months? I know that most of you are going into spring instead of autumn. Have you read any of these books? What do you think of them? Let’s chat! 

Books I Don’t Know If I Want To Read

Books I Don’t Know If I Want To Read

Mar 9, 2021

This week I’m sharing the books that I’m not sure if I should read. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

Sometimes there are books that I can’t decide if I want to read. It’s the books that leave me in two minds. The ones that have both good and bad reviews. So today I thought I should share some of the books that I need help deciding if I should read them. Some of these I may own, and some I’m thinking of getting. If you’ve read any of these help me out? Like always these are in no order. 

The Kiss Quotient (The Kiss Quotient #1) by Helen Hoang | Beach Read by Emily Henry | The Hating Game by Sally Thorne |Beautiful Bastard (Beautiful Bastard #1) by Christina Lauren 

Ninth House (Alex Stern #1) by Leigh Bardugo | Prisoner of Night and Fog (Prisoner of Night and Fog #1) by Anne Blankman | A Thousand Ships by Natalie Haynes | Don’t Call the Wolf by Aleksandra Ross

The Spare by Miranda Dubner | Into the Drowning Deep (Rolling in the Deep #1) by Mira Grant

And that is it for this weeks Top Ten Tuesday. Have you read any of these books? What did you think of them? Should I read them? What are some of the books that you don’t know if you want to read? 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!
