Posted by angelreads Discussions, TBR No Comments

If you haven’t booktok is going a little hectic at the moment and you know I had to jump in. It’s a great place for romance recommendations and I can sit there for hours going through videos. I have also started making some video’s myself, so if that is something that you want to check out – please do.

Anyway today I thought I would share some of the books I’ve added to my tbr because of TikTok. There is a range of different romances here. From dark romances to fantasy and everything in between. I really want to widen what I read in romance – and it’s a great way to do it. Anyway, let’s go.

Love in Sight by Denver Rose | Freestyle (Academy of Stardom #1) by Bea Paige | Dare You To Hate Me by B. Celeste | Lilac by B.B. Reid

Ache by Marley Valentine | Gild (The Plated Prisoner #1) by Raven Kennedy | Weightless by Kandi Steiner | Scars (The Triad #1) by Dana Isaly

Devious Little Liars (Saint View High #1) by Elle Thorpe | Diver’s Heart by K.A. Knight | Storm the Castle (Marry the Scot #1) by Jolie Vines | Abel (Sabine Valley #1) by Katee Robert

And there we go, those are just some that I have added to my tbr recently from TikTok. You can check out some more that I have on my wish list here. Have you joined booktok? What do you think of it? Have you read anything that you have seen on there? Let’s Chat!

Books I Have Read In One Sitting | TTT

Posted by angelreads Features, Top Ten Tuesday 4 Comments

This week I’m sharing the books that I can read in one sitting. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl.

I can read a lot of books in one sitting. It’s actually not too hard for me. I am quite a fast reader and that means I can knock out a book in a few hours. I don’t do it as much anymore simply because I work full time. But it does still happen. Anyway let’s get into it, here are the books I’ve read in one sitting. Some may surprise you!

Halo (Fallen Angel #1) by Ella Frank, Brooke Blaine: This one was easy to read in one sitting. I started to read it and before I knew it I was finished. It’s just over 250 pages. I think I’ve read each of the books in this series in one sitting as well.

Heartstopper: Volume One (Heartstopper, #1) by Alice Oseman: Like the previous book, I’ve read each of these volumes in one sitting. They are just so easy to do and I really want to pick up some more graphic novels soon.

Truth or Dare by Danielle Allen: This is a novella so finishing this in one sitting was pretty easy. I also did enjoy it – so that did make it so much easier. It was a fun, quick read. And it’s great to pick up if you want to read something that won’t take you long.

Birthday Shot by Rilzy Adams: This is another great novella that hits all the right places. It’s an easy one-sitting read for anyone really. It’s over before you know it and even though you do want more – you are good.

The Duchess Deal (Girl Meets Duke #1) by Tessa Dare: Most of the time historical romances are books that I can read in one sitting. And that was no different for The Duchess Deal. I love this book and series so much and I’m hanging for the last book – hopefully we will get it soon.

Only When It’s Us (Bergman Brothers #1) by Chloe Liese: Like historical romances, contemporary romances are also pretty easy for me to read in one sitting. And as soon as I started Only When It’s Us – I knew I was going to love it. This whole series is also fantastic.

Dear Martin (Dear Martin #1) by Nic Stone: While this isn’t classed as a novella, it is on the shorter side, especially for a YA book. And while it’s small it packs a punch. This book is so good that I couldn’t put it down and if you haven’t read it, then please do pick it up.

Lessons in Corruption (The Fallen Men #1) by Giana Darling: You know those books that you just pick up and before you know it, you have finished it? This is one of those. I only started reading Giana Darling last year – but this whole series has taken me by surprise, and I was able to finish this one in one sitting.

Lady Midnight (The Dark Artifices #1) by Cassandra Clare: Now I’m not sure how I did this one. I honestly have no idea. I just picked it up and didn’t put it down. I’ve read a few of Clare’s in 2 or 3 days, but this was by far the fastest.

The Kingmaker (All the King’s Men #1) by Kennedy Ryan: This is another one of those books that I just could not put down. It was addicting and I needed to know what was going to happen next. And then the ending? Umm yer, let’s just say I made the mistake of reading this before the second book came out.

And there we go, those are some of the books that I have read in one sitting. Have you read any of these books? What books have you read in one sitting? Let’s Chat!

Also if you don’t follow me on social media and want to you can. I have Twitter, Instagram and now I’m on TikTok. And I’m having a lot of fun!

My Last 5 Reads | July 2021

Posted by angelreads Discussions 1 Comment

At the start of the week, I share the next few books that I am hoping that I can get to. So today I thought I would share some of my latest reads. I really enjoy doing these posts, because it gives me an idea of what I have read lately.

I’ve been reading a lot of series lately instead of sharing each book I read in the series. I have grouped the series as one. I’ve been reading a lot of romance this year – which is how last year went as well. I am loving it, especially as I’m also trying new sub-genres in romance as well. Enough of all this, these are my latest reads.

Four by Sara Cate and Rachel Leigh: After reading the Madison Kate series and Den of Vipers, I wanted to try some darker romances. Sadly this one wasn’t for me. I didn’t love the writing style, the romance was just okay. I managed to read it in a few hours, so I did enjoy reading it. But it wasn’t what I was hoping.

With You Forever (Bergman Brothers #4) by Chloe Liese: I picked this one up as soon as I received my e-arc of it. I just adore this series so much and the synopsis of this one just hit me. I loved it so much, so happy with it. And I can’t wait to share more of my thoughts on it.

Ice Planet Barbarians #5 – #7 by Ruby Dixon: I read the first 4 books of this series last year and now with everyone reading it from Tiktok I knew I wanted to read a few more. So I’m now up to book 8. I just have so much fun reading this series. It’s not all that great – but it is just so much fun. And I really enjoyed book 7 – quite a bit.

Emerald Lakes #1-#3 by Britt Andrews: I picked this series up on a whim. I had seen in floating around Tiktok quite a bit and I really want to start reading more fantasy/paranormal romance. I’m still not sure how I feel about this series. There were a few unexpected things, that I wasn’t prepared for. But I’m still reading the rest of the series – because I’m really interested to see where things go.

One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston: I have had this since we reopened back at work and it also might be Ely and mine’s June buddy read – yes we are a little behind. But I have finally started it. I haven’t finished it yet but I am really enjoying it so far and cannot wait to finish reading it.

And there we go, those are some of my latest reads and what I am currently reading. What have you read recently? What are you currently reading? Let’s Chat!
