Authors Backlist Books That I Still Need To Read

Authors Backlist Books That I Still Need To Read

Oct 18, 2022

Today I want to share the backlists titles from some authors I love that I still need to read. I have done this kind of post a few times and enjoy doing it. It’s a great way for me to check in with authors that I love and see what I haven’t read yet. 

A backlist title mostly refers to books published at least a year ago or two ago. Sometimes authors only have a few backlist books and other times they can have lists of books.  So today I’m sharing some of the backlist titles that I need to read from authors that I have enjoyed reading. 

Let’s get right into it. There is a mix of books and authors here. From recent favourites to authors I’ve been reading for years. As always these are in no order. Let’s go. 

The Marriage Contract (The O’Malleys #1) by Katee Robert | Rock Hard (Rock Kiss #2) by Nalini Singh. | He’s a Brute (Tough Love #1) by Chloe Liese | Rhapsodic (The Bargainer #1) by Laura Thalassa.

A Lady of Rooksgrave Manor (Tempting Monsters #1) by Kathryn Moon | Long Shot (Hoops #1) by Kennedy Ryan. | Thicker Than Water by Brigid Kemmerer | Echoes Between Us by Katie McGarry.

A Night to Surrender (Spindle Cove #1) by Tessa Dare | Wolfsong (Green Creek #1) by T.J. Klune. | Punk 57 by Penelope Douglas | Fortune Favors the Cruel (Dark Maji #1) by Kel Carpenter.

And there we go. Those are the books from authors’ backlist that I still want to read. Have you read any of these books? What did you think of them? What backlists books are on your tbr? Let’s chat! 

 
Books That Are Perfect To Read On Vacation

Books That Are Perfect To Read On Vacation

Oct 11, 2022

This week I’m sharing then books that I think are perfect to read on vacation. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

While the weather is still not fantastic here in Melbourne. We are getting a few warmer days. This is what I think of when I hear holiday or vacation. It’s summer or spring. Nice warm weather, beaches and pools. Reading outside in the run. So today I’m sharing the books that I think are perfect for a vacation. 

There is a mix of books here. But most are on the contemporary side. As I love reading books in one sitting and for some reason contemporaries allow me to do that. As always these are in no order. Let’s go. 

Only When It’s Us (Bergman Brothers, #1) by Chloe Liese | Delilah Green Doesn’t Care (Bright Falls, #1) by Ashley Herring Blake. | Lovelight Farms (Lovelight, #1) by B.K. Borison | The Spanish Love Deception by Elena Armas.

The Duchess Deal (Girl Meets Duke, #1) by Tessa Dare | For Vacation Only by Mila Nicks. | Truth or Dare by Danielle Allen |  Get a Life, Chloe Brown (The Brown Sisters, #1) by Talia Hibbert.

Luna and the Lie by Mariana Zapata | Irresistible (Cloverleigh Farms, #1) by Melanie Harlow.

And there we go. Those are the books that I think are perfect to read on a vacation. Have you read any of these books? What did you think of them? Are you planning on reading any of them? What books made it to your list? Let’s chat! 

Completed Series I Wish Had More Books

Completed Series I Wish Had More Books

Aug 23, 2022

This week I’m sharing the completed series which I wish had more books. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

Now most of the time, when an author finishes a series, it’s complete to me. They are the creators, they know when it’s time to finish their characters story. But there are times when I’ve wanted series to have more books, for my own selfish reason. 

Nearly all the series I’ve mentioned in today’s TTT are young adult. Are most are in the fantasy/sci-fi realm. To me these are the series that I feel can have more expansion, that another book wouldn’t do it harm. It’s selfish really, because these are some of my favourite series, and I didn’t really want the series to end. 

So let’s get into it, these are the series I wish I had more books. And as normal these are in no particular order. 

The Winner’s Trilogy by Marie Rutkoski | Reboot by Amy Tintera. | The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer | Lewis Creek Series by Michelle Smith.

Worldwalker Series by Josephine Angelini | Disruption by Jessica Shirvington | The Girl from Everywhere by Heidi Heilig. | The Conqueror’s Saga by Kiersten White.

Unearthly Series by Cynthia Hand  | Brooklyn Bruisers by Sarina Bowen.

And there we go. Those are the completed series that I wish had more books in them. Have you read any of these? Do you wish they had a few more books? What series made it to your list this week? 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?
