This week I’m sharing some of the books on my spring tbr. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

I can’t believe it’s already the middle of September. It’s honestly crazy how quickly this year has gone. And now that this gorgeous weather is hitting Melbourne, it’s feeling like spring.  So for this week’s Top Ten Tuesday, I’m sharing the books on my spring TBR. 

There are a mix of books on the list today. Some are new books from authors and series I love. Some are some books that have been on my TBR for a little while now. I’m trying to read as many books from my TBR this September and I’m doing pretty okay so far, so hoping I can get a few more down. But there are also so many books I’m excited to read coming out as well. 

So let’s get right into it. Here are ten books that I want to read this Spring. As always these are in no real order. 

book covers

Iron Flame (The Empyrean. #2) by Rebecca Yarros. – Fourth Wing Review. | Hopeless (Chestnut Springs. #5) by Elsie Silver. | Madame. (Salacious Players’ Club #6) by Sara Cate. | The Broken Vows (The Windsors #4) Catharina Maura.

New-To-Me Authors I’ve Read In 2023 | Part 3

New-To-Me Authors I’ve Read In 2023 | Part 3

Posted by angelreads Discussions, Recommendations No Comments

 

One of the things that I love about reading is trying new-to-me authors and last year I read quite a few of those. I have already read a good chunk this year, and we have a few more months to go. But I didn’t want to just read new-to-me authors, but I wanted to share them with you as well. 

So I decided to start a series where I talk a little bit about the new-to-me authors I’ve been reading. You can check out part one and part two now. Reading authors that I haven’t read before is always daunting and exciting at the same time. I am so excited to try an author I haven’t read before. It’s always a risk, but so many times that risk pays off. 

So let’s get right into it. Here are more of the new-to-me authors I’ve been reading in 2023. Sometimes I find them through recommendations and sometimes they just pop up as suggestions. And as always these are in no particular order. 

Heather Renee: I had the chance to meet Heather earlier this year at BABE. And I knew I wanted to read a few of her books before the event. I ended up reading her Luna Marked series and enjoyed it quite a bit. I picked up a few of her books up from the event and cannot wait to dig in. 

Emily Rath: Emily has been all over TikTok the last few months, and earlier this year I picked up That One Night and Pucking Around and enjoyed them. I have since picked up the next book in the series and plan on reading some of her historical fiction. 

Angel Lawson and Samantha Rue: I’m including these two together because I’ve only read the books books they have written together. I really enjoyed their The Royals of Forsyth University series. I’ve read the first two completed series and plan to read the rest. They are dark, and sexy and sometimes just what I want. 

Devyn Sinclair: This is another author that I picked up for an event. This time it was for RARE Melbourne at the start of the year. I knew I was going to like this author right away, and then I met her in person and she was just as nice. I’ve now Knot Your Damn Omega and Knot All that Glitters and I plan to read more. 

Lana Ferguson: I read Lana’s first book The Nanny earlier this year. And while I didn’t love it. I still did enjoy it quite a bit. And I am so excited for her next book. It’s more my style and I think I am going to love it.

Sheridan Anne: Sheridan has been on my TBR for some time now and I was able to pick up some of her books at RARE and BABE. I read the first in her Kings of Denver series and plan to read more. I’m excited about her darker series too. 

K. Loraine and Meg Anne: I have had an up-and-down reading experience with these two authors. I’ve now read the whole of the The Mate Games series. And while I did enjoy it, I didn’t love it. I do plan on reading more from these two. I just don’t know when exactly. 

Odette Stone: Odette is another author who has been on my TBR for a while now. I finally picked Puck Me Secretly and had a fantastic time. I am really looking forward to reading the rest of this series for sure. And maybe some of her other books. 

And there we go. Those are some more of the new-to-me authors that I picked up so far in 2023. I had a good range of new-to-me authors that I picked up. I’m excited to read more from these authors and ready to read even more.

Have you read any of these authors? What did you think of them? Have you read any new-to-you authors this year? 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.
…

On Monday of race week I’ll announce the book I’ll be reading for the week, then throughout the week I’ll be posting stories and my thoughts. And then on Sunday, race day my review and final thoughts will go up.

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!
