A Slow but Steady Month | May Wrap Up

A Slow but Steady Month | May Wrap Up

Posted by angelreads Monthly Wrap Up No Comments

Okay so I know it’s nearly the end of June, but I still have a little time to do my May wrap-up. It was a pretty okay reading month in May, not fantastic but I still managed to read a few books. I ended up reading 11 books in May. While I read some books from authors that I’ve read and loved before, I also read quite a few new to me authors, which I kind of love. It was a great month for discovery.

So let’s get right into it. Here are all the books that I read in May. And as always these are in no real order.

Her Greatest Mistake (Greatest Love, #1) by Hannah Cowan. – 3.5 Stars | Her Greatest Adventure (Greatest Love, #2) by Hannah Cowan – 3 Stars. | All I Need (The Knights Series, #1) by E. Salvador – 4 Stars. | Malice (Lost Souls MC, #1) by Brooklyn Cross. – 3 Stars.

Surrender (Lost Souls MC, #2) by Brooklyn Cross – 2.5 Stars. | Tattered Stars (Tattered & Torn, #1) by Catherine Cowles – 4 Stars. | Falling Embers (Tattered & Torn, #2) by Catherine Cowles – 4 Stars. | Hidden Waters (Tattered & Torn, #3) by Catherine Cowles. – 4 Stars.

Shattered Sea (Tattered & Torn, #4) by Catherine Cowles – 4 Stars. | Fractured Sky (Tattered & Torn, #5) by Catherine Cowles – 4.5 Stars. | Knot Her Goal (MVP: Most Valuable Pack, #1) by Ari Wright – 3 Stars.

And there we go, those are all the books that I read in May this year. As you can see it was mostly contemporary romances. But I kinda loved it because it gave me a break from all the fantasy I was reading. I read some real standouts this month including everything from Catherine Cowels and All I Need by E. Salvador.

What did you read in May? Did you have in standouts? Have you read anything that I have yet? So, let’s chat!

Books on My Winter 2024 To-Read List

Posted by angelreads TBR, Top Ten Tuesday 1 Comment

This week I’m sharing the books on my winter 2024 to-read list. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl.

Well, it’s winter here in Australia, well in Melbourne and this week’s Top Ten Tuesday is all about my Winter TBR. Even though I haven’t been reading as much as I usually do, I’m still reading. I want to try and read a range of books on my tbr for a while and some newer releases that have caught my eye or that I have been waiting on.

I’ve been reading all over the place this year from fantasy to contemporary, to things a little darker. So I tried to pick a range of books that I would want to read. As always these are in no real order, but here are the books I plan to read this winter. Let’s go!

To Bleed a Crystal Bloom (Crystal Bloom, #1) by Sarah A. Parker | The Throne of Honor and Blood (The Mortal Fates, #2) by J. Bree. | Dark Fae (Ruthless Boys of the Zodiac, #1) by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti. | The Book of Azrael (Gods and Monsters, #1) by Amber V. Nicole.

Fragile Sanctuary (Sparrow Falls #1) by Catherine Cowles. | The Darkest Chord (Darkest Nights. #1) by Jenn Bullard. | Off to the Races. (Gold Rush Ranch. #1) by Elsie Silver. | Done and Dusted (Rebel Blue Ranch, #1) by Lyla Sage.

Relever (Ironside Academy, #4) by Jane Washington. | Dawn of Flames (Dragons of Ember Hollow, #3) by Tessa Hale.

And there we go. Those are just the books that I would like to read this winter. As you can see there is a range of fantasy, contemporary and some things a little darker on this list. I’m super excited to read to them all and I hope I can soon. What books made it to your winter or summer list? So, let’s chat!

Current Kindle Unlimited TBR | June 2024

Posted by angelreads Kindle Unlimited, TBR 1 Comment

It’s been a little while since I have posted but here I am with my current Kindle Unlimited TBR. There are some newer books on here, some books that haven’t been on my tbr before, and some that have been sitting here for a while. Honestly, sometimes a book doesn’t last a day or two before I’m reading and then other times it can sit on my Kindle for months. I am a massive mood reader and if I don’t feel like reading something, it’s not going to be read in that moment.

Anyway, let’s get into it. Here are the books I currently have on my kindle from Kindle Unlimited. As always these are in no real order.

The Throne of Honor and Blood (The Mortal Fates, #2) by J. Bree. |Knot Her Shot (MVP: Most Valuable Pack, #2) by Ari Wright.  | The Dixon Rule. (Campus Diaries, #2) by Elle Kennedy.| To Bleed a Crystal Bloom (Crystal Bloom, #1) by Sarah A. Parker.

Fragile Sanctuary (Sparrow Falls, #1) by Catherine Cowles. | Stalked by Seduction and Shadows by Maggie Sunseri. | Dark Fae (Ruthless Boys of the Zodiac, #1) by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti. | The Secrets in Shadow and Blood (Season of the Vampire, #1) by Lana Pecherczyk.

Vampire’s Fledgling (Blood Vow, #2) by Helen Scott. | Binding 13. (Boys of Tommen, #1) by Chloe Walsh. | Keeping 13 (Boys of Tommen. #2) by Chloe Walsh. | Last Light by Claire Kent.

Divine Rivals (Letters of Enchantment, #1) by Rebecca Ross. | Dragon (The Halloween Boys #2.) by Kat Blackthorne. | The Sinner. (L.O.R.D.S., #2) by Shantel Tessier. | For the Fans by Nyla K.

Brutal Obsession by S. Massery. | The Sinner and the Scholar (The Sinner Sisterhood #1) by Lana Pecherczyk. | Haunting Adeline (Cat and Mouse, #1) by H.D. Carlton. | The Serpent and the Wings of Night (Crowns of Nyaxia, #1) by Carissa Broadbent.

And there we go. Those are all the current books I have out with Kindle Unlimited. Have you read any of these? What did you think of them? What do you think I should read next? So 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!
