Kindle Unlimited TBR – January 2024

Kindle Unlimited TBR – January 2024

Posted by angelreads Kindle Unlimited, TBR 1 Comment

It’s time for another Kindle Unlimited TBR. It’s been a little while since I have updated you all on what I currently have out from Kindle Unlimited, so here is a little update. 

There are still some things on here from months ago, but because I’m a massive mood reader. So I never know what I want to read. There are times when books sit on my KU for months on end. But I do normally get to them eventually. 

I’ve been in a random mood lately and just reading a little bit of everything. And that kind of makes sense once you see this TBR. So let’s get into it, here are the current books on Kindle Unlimited TBR. And as always these are in no real order. 

Before We Came (Lakes Hockey #1) by Sloane St. James. | Behind the Net (Vancouver Storm. #1) by Stephanie Archer. | The Sinner. (L.O.R.D.S., #2) by Shantel Tessier. | Love Me (WITSEC, #3) by Ashley N. Rostek.

The Daymakers by Grace McGinty. | Watch Your Mouth (Kings of the Ice, #2) by Kandi Steiner. | Love Redesigned. (Lakefront Billionaires, #1) by Lauren Asher. | A Wolf in the Garden (Lost Moon: Unravelling Monsters Universe #1) by Allegra Hall. 

Restoration (Valenshek Legacy Book 3) by Tate James. | The Best Laid Plans. (The Best Men, #1). by Karla Sorensen. | For the Fans by Nyla K. | Beyond Shame (Beyond, #1) by Kit Rocha.

Brutal Obsession by S. Massery. | Cracked Foundation (Carnal Expectations #1) by Bex Dawn. | The Sinner and the Scholar (The Sinner Sisterhood #1) by Lana Pecherczyk. | Haunting Adeline (Cat and Mouse, #1) by H.D. Carlton. 

Enigma: The Complete Collection by Shandi Boyes. | The Serpent and the Wings of Night (Crowns of Nyaxia, #1) by Carissa Broadbent.

And there we go, those are the books I currently have with Kindle Unlimited. From new to me authors and to authors I’ve already read and loved. So, have you read any of these books? What did you think of them? Do you use Kindle Unlimited? What’s on your TBR? Nevertheless, let’s chat! 

My Year in Books 2023 | Part 1

My Year in Books 2023 | Part 1

Posted by angelreads Discussions, Monthly Wrap Up No Comments

It’s that time again. Over the past few years, I’ve liked to share all the books I’ve read in the previous year. And while it takes me ages, I love sharing them with you. So today it’s time to share all the books I read in 2023. 

One of the reasons I love doing these books is that it lets me look back at all the books I read over the year. I get to see what books I love, the books I may re-read. And even lets me work out the series I need to finish. I also get to see what types of books I read the year. And while I mostly did read romance in 2023, I like seeing the subgenres that really caught my eye. 

This series will be done similarly to last year, with 3 different posts. Each post will follow different months and will be as follows, January-April, May-August, September-December. 

In 2023, I read 222 books. And while not my biggest year I’m happy with what I read. So, let’s get right into it. Here are all the books I read from January-April in 2023. As always these are in no real order.

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?
