Reading A Little More | July Wrap Up

Reading A Little More | July Wrap Up

Posted by angelreads Monthly Wrap Up No Comments

I have honestly been in such a slump this year, life is busy. But I had a pretty good reading month in July. I ended up reading 16 books this month, which is on the higher end for me this year. I also re-read quite a bit in July.

The books I read in July were a mix-match from a new MC series I started in June to some more Catherine Cowels. I think I’m on my 4th series of hers and loving it! Then some fantasy and why choose series that I’ve been reading over the past year.

So, let’s get into it. Here are all the books that I read in July and all of them were above 3.5 stars! As always these are in no real order.

The Bonds We Break (Iron Outlaws MC, #4) by Scarlett Cole – 3.5 Stars. | The Vows We Keep (Iron Outlaws MC #5) by Scarlett Cole – 3.5 Stars. | The Loves We Lost (Iron Outlaws MC, #6) by Scarlett Cole. – 4 Stars. | The Souls We Claim (Iron Outlaws MC, #7) by Scarlett Cole – 4 Stars.

Reckless Memories (Wrecked, #1) by Catherine Cowles – 4 Stars. | Perfect Wreckage (Wrecked #2) by Catherine Cowles – 4 Stars. | Wrecked Palace (Wrecked, #3) by Catherine Cowles – 4.5 Stars. | Dawn of Flames (Dragons of Ember Hollow, #3) by Tessa Hale – 4 Stars.

Plier (Ironside Academy, #1) by Jane Washington – 4 Stars. Reread. | Tourner (Ironside Academy, #2) by Jane Washington – 4 Stars. Reread. | Sauter. (Ironside Academy, #3) by Jane Washington – 4 Stars. Reread. | Relever (Ironside Academy, #4)by Jane Washington – 4 Stars. 

Binding 13 (Boys of Tommen, #1) by Chloe Walsh – 4 Stars. | Keeping 13 (Boys of Tommen, #2) by Chloe Walsh – 4 Stars. | Cruel King (Royal Elite, #0) by Rina Kent – 4 Stars. | Asking for Trouble (The Fallen Men #8) by Giana Darling – 4 Stars.

And there we go, those are the books I read in July! What did you read? Have you read anything that I did? What are your plans for August? I haven’t had a great start to August, but I am hoping that I can get to a few more before I leave for a holiday at the end of the month. Let’s chat!

Posted by angelreads Uncategorized 1 Comment

I know, I know it’s been a little while again. But life is life and it’s sorta getting in the way at the moment. But today I thought I would share my Goodreads tbr as I haven’t done that in a little while.

If you don’t know I use my Goodreads as a place to remind me of the books I want to read. I may have some of them, but I mostly don’t own the books I do put on that tbr. It’s a way for me to keep updated with books that I want to read that may not be out yet, or I haven’t bought yet.

There is a mix of books that are part of my recent additions from fantasy, to contemporary and some paranormal. It’s a mix of all the types of romances that I love. As always these are in no real order, but let’s go!

The Fates We Tame (Iron Outlaws MC #8) by Scarlett Cole. | Death’s Country by R.M. Romero. | Mistress of Lies (The Age of Blood, #1) by K.M. Enright. | Asking For Trouble (The Fallen Men #7.5) by Giana Darling.

If I Dig You by Colby Wilkens. | Disobedient Pawn (The Kings of Wayward Academy, #1) by Brooklyn Cross. | The North Wind. (The Four Winds, #1) by Alexandria Warwick. | Psycho Shifters (Cruel Shifterverse, #1) by Jasmine Mas.

Midnight Duet by Jen Comfort. | Legacy of Shadows (Supernaturals of Castle Academy, #1) by Tessa Hale. | The Lost Elemental. (Royals of Kingwood Academy, #1) by Tessa Hale. | Dante (Chicago Ruthless, #1) by Sadie Kincaid.

And there we go. Those are some of the recent books I’ve added to my Goodreads tbr. From new to me authors, to ones that I am loving. What books have you recently added to your tbr? Let’s chat!

April was a very good reading month for me, especi April was a very good reading month for me, especially after last month. I had some really fantastic reads in April. I did do a lot of re-reading this month but I had such blast. I re-read Caught Up and Play Along and the first 4 books in the Ironside Academy series. 📚

I read some books that I’ve been waiting for including the new book from Kels and Denise Stone, as well as the new Tessa Hale. ✨

Overall it was such a good month, lots of binge reading series and starting on some new authors. I’m so excited to see what May brings. 🖤

What was your favourite book that you read in April?

IT’S RACE WEEK! 🏎️ If you didn’t know al IT’S RACE WEEK! 🏎️

If you didn’t know already I love F1, have ever since I was younger and decided that this year it would be fun to combined my love for F1 and reading together. 📚

After a week off we are back at it. We are in Miami this week’s and things are only just heating up. This week I’m reading Falling Off the Cliff  Kanitha P.

…

Formula 1 legend in the making and rising star Thiago Valencia is chasing redemption as well as his second World Champion title. With a tarnished reputation and an undetermined future in F1 that hangs by a terribly loose thread, he can’t afford to lose his seat. Thiago is ready to do anything to redeem himself and erase his past mistakes. When a mysterious woman intrudes on his private party in Monte Carlo, he is certain the universe has brought his polar opposite into his life as salvation. He is sunshine, she is moonlight; he is a bright star and she is a moonbeam.

Destiny takes the wheel, steering Kamari into Thiago’s orbit, but her open disdain and closely guarded heart warn her to stay away. Enchanted by her charms, Thiago is intent on melting her freezing barriers and tearing down the walls shielding her heart.

When Kamari agrees to help him save his future by being his fake girlfriend, the unexpected happens, triggered by a game of lies, secrets and desire.

As they plunge towards the finish line, the race veers offtrack and neither of them are ready to fall off the cliff.
…

A little late but I am finally getting to share Ra A little late but I am finally getting to share Race 5’s Race Week Reads review. This week I read, Downforce (Pit Lane #1) by Hannah Lily.

🏎️ Review 🏎️

I had so much fun reading this book. I knew I was in for a ride as soon as I started Downforce. It was entertaining, fun, and I just had a good time reading it. And while it does explore some heavy topics, I don’t think it took away from the fun nature of the book.

Right from the start, we can see the tension between F1 Presenter, Olivia Fraser and F1 Driver, Jonah Scott. And while silly at times, it was fun seeing them interact together. Both really didn’t like each other. They both had said things about and to one another that sometimes it caused chaos. And I was here for it.

I did find that at times, just silly things happened. I am not a massive rom-com reader, and there was a lot of falling into one another, and arguments stemmed from nothing. This is honestly just because I don’t like these types of scenes, but it didn’t really make me dislike the book at all.

I loved the whole road trip aspect of the book, it’s different from other F1 books I’ve read so far this year and just made for some interesting banter and lust. I do wish that the road trip was a little longer than it was because I did feel like the romance moved pretty quickly here, but again, it didn’t really affect how much I was enjoying the book.

The romance was this combination of being slow burn and full of angst right at the start, to the road trip happening and then bam. But I loved it, though. The banter between Olivia and Jonah was fantastic. I loved seeing them grow not only with one another but with themselves as well.

Overall, I had a great time reading Downforce and will be continuing the series for sure when the other books come out. The romance was angsty and just felt right. The found family aspect really worked well here, and the F1 aspects were pretty okay. Not the best I’ve seen, but not the worst either. If you are looking for a fun read that has a great romance and a little rom-comy, then pick this one up.
I’ve already had a pretty amazing reading year. I’ve already had a pretty amazing reading year. There have been so many books that I have enjoyed but there are some that I have just loved. 🖤

I didn’t realise before I put this post together that all of these books are from authors I’ve read and loved before. There hasn’t been a Rebecca Yarros book that I haven’t rated under 4 Stars. Elsie Silver is just making me love everything that she writes. Wild and Wrangled may be my favourite in the series. 📖

Three rereads also made it to this list. Binding 13 still makes me gasp and smile all at the same time. And Caught Up and Play Along just hit every time. 📚

I’ve honestly had a great year so far and since making this post a few more books I’ve read I’ve ended up loving. It’s going to be hard to pick my favourites at the end of the year that is for sure. ✨

What books have you loved reading this year? Are any books that made my list on yours? Let me know!
