Books on My 2020 Winter TBR

Jun 16, 2020

This week I’m sharing books the books what I want to read this winter, with my 2020 winter tbr. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl.

It’s started to get much colder where I live now and it’s the perfect weather to wrap myself up in my bed and just read. So today I’m sharing books that I want to get through this winter. From books that I’ve had a while to books that I’ve just picked up. Let’s hope that I can read these books soon.

Through the Storm (The Le Veq Family #1) by Beverly Jenkins: I just read my first Beverly Jenkins last week and loved it, and I really want to read more about the family. So I’m hoping to read at least one of the books that centre around the Le Veq family. And I’m excited about that. My library has them all on ebook, so I have them waiting for me.

Fresh Ink: An Anthology edited by Lamar Giles: I bought this one a couple of months ago and I’m slowly making my way through another anthology, but I hope to get to this one as well before the end of winter. I have a lot of trouble finishing an anthology for some reason, but I want to read this one for sure.

Check, Please!, Book 2: Sticks & Scones by Ngozi Ukazu: I’m so excited to pick this one up. I loved the first volume and this one seems like it’s going to be fantastic. I will probably pick this one up really soon. Especially with pride month.

The How and the Why by Cynthia Hand: I got this one just after Christmas last year and I still haven’t had the chance to pick it up. I’ve really enjoyed reading Cynthia Hand in the past and I’m really excited to read this one. I even got a hardcover of it – which I never do, but I didn’t want to wait for the paperback.

Prince Charming (Royals #1) by Rachel Hawkins: This is one of the books that was chosen as part of the best friend picks my TBR, but I also cannot wait to read it. I’ve been slowly making my way through the list and I’m really excited about this one. It sounds exactly what I love and I cannot wait to devour it.

Heartstopper: Volume One (Heartstopper #1) by Alice Oseman: This is another one that I got a little while ago. But I have the first two volumes and I need to get on reading it. It sounds like it’s right up my alley. So many people that I know love it, so I’m really excited about that as well.

Clap When You Land by Elizabeth Acevedo: I have spoken about this a couple of times now and I’m so excited about this one. It’s yet to come in at work, but I as soon as it does I will be reading it. I’ve heard nothing but good things about it. And that makes me really intrigued.

Monday’s Not Coming by Tiffany D. Jackson: I’m hoping that this one comes this week into work so I can finally read it. This one has been on my tbr for some time now and I finally ordered it in at work so I can read it. Again I’ve heard such amazing things about Tiffany D. Jackson, especially about this one.

A Duke, the Lady, and a Baby by Vanessa Riley: I’m super excited to pick this one up. It features disability which is rare in historical fiction. It also sounds super interesting and it caught my eye as soon as I read the synopsis. I’m actually hoping to get to this one this week sometime.

You Were Made For Me by Jenna Guillaume: I really enjoyed Jenna’s debut book last year and I’m really excited about this one. It sounds so good. And fun and full of romance and I can’t wait. The romance was one of my favourite parts of What I Like About Me, so I’m really excited to see what she does with it in this one.

And that is it for this week’s Top Ten Tuesday! What do you hope to read this winter or summer? Do we have anything that is the same? Let’s Chat!

Books I’ve Added to my TBR and Forgotten Why

Jun 9, 2020

This week I’m sharing books that I’ve added to my TBR, but I’ve forgotten why. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl.

I add a lot of books to my Goodreads tbr. It’s a place where I can keep everything about my books in one spot. I like to use my Goodreads tbr as a reminder of the books that I would like to read, they don’t necessarily have to be books that I own. It’s a place where I see something that I like and I add it to my to-read for later. So today I’m sharing some of the books that I’ve added to this TBR and I can’t remember why.

I’m really bad at reading books from this TBR. If it’s from authors that I love or a highly anticipated then I will pick it up. But I do forget a lot about the books on this list. I do like to go through it every once and a while and get rid of books. Anyway, like always these are in no order.

Kiss Kill Vanish by Jessica Martinez: This one came out quite a while ago now, and I’m not even sure many people I know read it. So I don’t even know how it ended up on my TBR. But I just had a quick look at the synopsis and it does sound like something that I still might enjoy. Will need to see if I can get it soon. I honestly think that the cover may have caught my eye.

Clipped Wings (Clipped Wings #1) by Helena Hunting: I have completely forgotten as to why this is on my TBR. But I can have a few guesses. It could have been when I was loving paranormal novels – which I still do. Or maybe when I first started getting into romance. I’ve since then read something from Helena Hunting, didn’t love it, but I think I might leave this one of there for now.

Cold Summer by Gwen Cole: I honestly think it was the cover that first made me add this to my TBR. In saying that, it does sound like something that I might enjoy. It’s a historical fiction set in WWII. If you have read this one please let me know what you think.

Brave New Girl (Brave New Girl #1) by Rachel Vincent: I’m not sure why this book was on my list. I’ve seriously forgotten as to why I would have put it there. It doesn’t sound like my thing. I mean I did read a few dystopian books, but honestly, they weren’t something that always pulled me in. It sounds so boring.

Martinis & Moonlight (Country Road #3) by Andrea Johnston: I have no idea why this one is on my TBR. I didn’t like the first two books. They were both under 2.5 Stars to me. So why I added the next one I’m not too sure. Why did I want to put myself through pain?

The Loneliest Girl in the Universe by Lauren James: I may have put this one on my TBR because of the author, but honestly I don’t understand why. I don’t read much science fiction. And when I do it has to be something that will stand out and from someone that I love reading. And that isn’t the case here.

Cracked Kingdom (The Royals #5) by Erin Watt: I can’t even explain why this is on my list. Like, have I forgotten how much I didn’t like this series. I gave most of the books in the series 2 stars, I honestly don’t why I kept on reading. I thought that it would get better – but it got worse, much worse.

A Thousand Ships by Natalie Haynes: This sounds like something that I might enjoy, but I’ve also not heard much about it. Especially from people that I know. It sounds interesting, but I have forgotten how it got onto my TBR.

Love Lettering by Kate Clayborn: If there is one book on this list that I have no clue about. It’s this one. The others I can make some guesses, but this one. It’s not me at all. Contemporary romances aren’t something that I enjoy a lot. But a couple of people that I trust enjoyed it, so that might be why.

Breathe (Sea Breeze #1) by Abbi Glines: I’m not sure why this is one my list. I’ve never really been interested in Abbi Glines books for some reasons. They have never caught my attention, so I’ve forgotten why this one is on my tbr.

And that is it for this weeks post! What are some of the books that you’ve forgotten that you have on your TBR? Are any the same as mine? Let’s Chat!

Books That Are Perfect For Winter

Jun 2, 2020

Before I start I do want to say a few things. Right now the world needs your voice. Black lives need your voice. Use it. And use it right. Here are some ways to help as well as some resources, please check them out. I’ve been posting and RT’ing more things on twitter. So please head over there and let your voice be heard. #BlackLivesMatter.

This week I’m sharing the books I think are perfect for winter! Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl.

Winter isn’t my favourite season, it’s my least favourite really. I’m mostly a spring and autumn time of girl. And right now it’s getting pretty cold here. So I’m all rugged up in bed, writing this post up. But one of the things I do love about winter. Is curling up in bed and reading. So today I’m sharing the books that I think are perfect to read in winter. Like always these are in no order.

The Devil in Winter by Lisa Kleypas: If this isn’t perfect, I don’t know what is. I love this book and series so much. If you are thinking about picking any historical romance series – this is the one. It’s so much fun and perfect to binge read in winter – or any time of the year.

The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune: One of my favourite typed of books to read during winter are feel-good ones. And this book is up there. One of my favourites so far in 2020. This book will make you smile, laugh and just have a good time. You can check out my full review now.

The Last Time We Say Goodbye by Cynthia Hand: When I’m all rugged up inside, I can have a good cry and no one can see me. And this book will make you cry. But it’s also such a beautiful story that I loved reading. It left me a mess, but I am okay with that.

Rookie Move (Brooklyn Bruisers #1) by Sarina Bowen: What is better than reading a winter sports romance in winter? Not much. This one of my favourite books from Sarina Bowen and I love this series so much, especially the first three. This one just makes me smile a whole lot.

Serious Moonlight by Jenn Bennett: Being able to curl up and fall into a good detective and mystery story is so much fun. I adore Jenn Bennett and this one here is a blast to read. The protagonists are amazing and I just loved it. If you love a good mystery with some romance then this is the book for you.

Life on the Edge (Edge #1) by Jennifer Comeaux: Another sports romance that is perfect for winter. I always have so much fun reading this series. It’s just something that you can fall into and just love reading. It’s not heavy, but it also looks at things in life.

Midnight Pursuits (Killer Instincts #4) by Elle Kennedy: It is a few books into the series, but it’s also one that always makes me think of a cold, cold winter. We rarely see snow in my parts. So as soon as the snow is involved I love it. This is an action-packed romantic suspense and I love it.

The Hate U Give (The Hate U Give #1) by Angie Thomas: I haven’t talked about this book in a while, but right now I think I need to. If you haven’t read this book. Please do. It’s important. It’s one you need to take your time and read. The Hate U Give is a book that you need to sit down and just take everything that you read in.

When Michael Met Mina by Randa Abdel-Fattah: If you haven’t picked this one up please do. Its another one of those books that aren’t always a present read, but it’s the right one. I’ve say this all the time, but it show be on every school book list.

Bittersweet by Sarah Ockler: I don’t talk about this book enough. This is such a sweet, YA romance that I love so much. It’s one to make your feel all warm inside and perfect for winter. If you want to read a book that will make you smile then this one is it.
