October Romance New Releases 2023

Posted by angelreads New Releases 2 Comments

There are a lot of romance new releases coming out this October. So I thought I would put together an ongoing list of romances coming out this month. I’m getting pretty overwhelmed with how many romances are coming out this month. So I needed one place where I could have a list of everything. While also keeping up to date with what I am reading and what is coming out.

There will be traditionally published and indie books on this list. And while I may not catch everything right at the start of this month. This post is going to be constantly updated when I find new books that are coming out. I am going to try and group the books in genres and by date as much as I can. But there may be some crossovers, so I just picked one.

‘Not Enough Time’ TBR | Book Tag

Posted by angelreads Book Tag No Comments

I haven’t done a book tag in a little while and I thought it would be fun to do the ‘Not Enough Time’ TBR Book Tag. This tag was created by Sheri at Read Betwixt Words.

My TBR is long. Really long. For me, my TBR isn’t just the books that I currently own but haven’t read, but for books I also want to read. I don’t buy every book I read in physical or even digital form. I use Kindle Unlimited a lot and do most of my reading there. So my TBR is a mix of physical books I own, and books that I simply want to read. So let’s get into the ‘Not Enough Time’ TBR book tag.

A BOOK YOU KEEP SAYING YOU WILL READ… BUT DON’T

Corrupt (Devil’s Night, #1) by Penelope Douglas has to take this one. I’ve read books from Penelope before and enjoyed them. I like dark romance. I have heard fantastic things about this series. And I just don’t pick it up when I trying to pick what to read. Hopefully soon.

A BOOK YOU KEEP SAYING YOU WILL READ… BUT HAVEN’T

I’ve gone and bought the first 3 books in this series and still haven’t picked it up. But I will. I’ve been wanting to read Gild (The Plated Prisoner, #1) by Raven Kennedy for a while now and I just haven’t picked it up. There is no real reason but I am hoping I can get to it soon.

A BOOK YOU WANT TO READ… BUT DON’T HAVE YET

After finishing the Boys of Brayshaw series a few months ago, I’ve been wanting to pick up Tempting Little Thief (Girls of Greyson, #1) by Meagan Brandy. But I haven’t bought it yet. However it’s now going trad, so I will be picking up very soon I think.

A BOOK THAT YOU HAVEN’T SEEN REVIEWED… BUT SOUNDS GOOD

This one is a little hard for me because a lot of the books I read I see on social media or I pick up on Goodreads. And one of the first things I do is check out the reviews. But one I haven’t seen many reviews for and has been on my TBR for a little while is Do I Know You? by Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka.

A BOOK THAT’S BEEN ON YOUR TBR FOR YEARS

So many books. But one I know I want to read is Thicker Than Water by Brigid Kemmerer. This one has been on my TBR for many many years now. And I want to read but I just never pick it up. There is literally no reason why I haven’t picked it up yet.

A BOOK THAT INTIMIDATES YOU… BUT SOUNDS AMAZING

I’ve been wanting to read this one for a little while now. Basically, since it was published. But I don’t read straight fantasy a lot, and each time I go to pick it up. I don’t even open the first page. The Poppy War (The Poppy War, #1) by R.F. Kuang is a book that intimidates me but I’ve heard such amazing things about it. And I will get to it.

A BOOK THAT WAS RECOMMENDED… BUT HAVEN’T HAD A CHANCE TO READ YET

Out on a Limb by Hannah Bonam-Young, has been recommended to me a few times recently and I am really excited to pick it up. It sounds like it has a lot of tropes that I love, it’s been getting pretty good reviews. And a few people that I know have already recommended it to me. So I’m going to it soon.

A BOOK YOU’RE NOT SURE OF… BUT WILL GIVE A CHANCE

Midnight Kisses by Jeanine Bennedict was all over social media for a moment, some people loved it. Others didn’t. And I’m on the fence about picking it up. It sounds good. It sounds like something that I would enjoy. But I am hesitant to pick it up.

A BOOK YOU WOULDN’T NORMALLY CHOOSE… BUT ARE CURIOUS ABOUT

I don’t read a lot of graphic novels and comics, but Fine Print, Volume 1 by Stjepan Šejić is one I got a while ago and I’m really intrigued by. It sounds like it’s right up my alley and something that I would really enjoy. It sounds like it’s sexy, but also fun and entertaining. I am so here for that.

A BOOK YOU’VE READ… BUT NEED TO FINISH THE SERIES

There are so many that I could have picked for this one but I still need to continue with the Dark Olympus series by Katee Robert. I have read Neon Gods and Electric Idol. But I am a little behind in the rest of the series. I have Wicked Beauty on my list for this month. But I don’t think I am going to get to it. So hopefully soon.

A BOOK YOU THINK YOU’LL LOVE… BUT KEEP PASSING UP

I know that The Serpent and the Wings of Night (Crowns of Nyaxia, #1) by Carissa Broadbent is going to be exactly what I love and want from a book. But I do keep on putting it off. I’m excited to read it though and hopefully, I get to it in the next few months. I have heard amazing things about it. It’s my type of fantasy and I just want to read it.

***

And there we go, that is the ‘not enough time’ TBR book tag. I had a great time doing this tag, and it made me look at my TBR a little more. Don’t forget I am doing read my TBR September this month. I’m having a great time doing it at the moment.

Have you read any of these books on my TBR that I mentioned? What did you think of them? What books are on your TBR? I’m tagging anyone that wants to do this tag! Let’s chat!

Last Five Reads | September 2023

Posted by angelreads Last 5 Reads No Comments

I haven’t done one of these in a while, and I thought it would be the perfect time to update you on what I’ve been reading lately. This September I’ve been trying to read as many books of my physical TBR as I can. I’ve been doing pretty well so far, but I have a few strays, which I am totally okay with.

But today is all about the latest books I’ve read. The last week and a half my reading as been a little on the slower side, and I did do 2 rereads. But I kind of needed it, and I’ve read a range of different books that I’ve really enjoyed. So let’s go, here are my last five reads.

Reclaim: Cedar Valley Bears (Small Town Packs) by Cassie Laelyn: I read the first book in this series earlier this year and enjoyed it quite a bit. They are really quick reads, about 200 pages. But they are fun, emotional, high-intensity and have some good smut. I really liked that we got to bear shifters in this one. It’s a little different. Not too much more to say, other than that I had a great time.

Awaken: Wolves of Timber Falls (Small Town Packs) by Cassie Laelyn: I ended up moving right into the last book in this series. And we are back with the wolves this time. There was a forbidden romance between a wolf and a hunter. It was hot and sexy. And there were a lot of things going on. But nothing felt overwhelming. It was a great read.

Lola & the Millionaires: Part One and Two (Sweet Omegaverse, #2/#3) by Kathryn Moon: This was my reread of the month. I wasn’t in the best space to read. So re-reading one of my favourite books of all time was pretty perfect. I just needed a book to get my mind out of things but also keep it going. I love this omegaverse and these are just some of my favourite characters. If you are looking for an omegaverse to read. This is your girl.

String Me Along (Learning to Love Series) by Lilian T. James: Again I read the first book in this interconnected series earlier in the year and enjoyed it. So I wanted to pick this one up as well. I had a great time. It’s an easy contemporary read, where there isn’t much happening but still keeps you entertained. I will be reading more from Lilian for sure.

A Lady of Rooksgrave Manor (Tempting Monsters, #1) by Kathryn Moon: As you can already tell, I really enjoy Kathryn Moon. And this has been on my TBR for a little while now. This book is pure smut and I loved it. I didn’t really need it to be much more. There is a little plot. But it has a lot to do with Esther and her monsters. And it was great. I loved it.

And there we go. Those are some of my latest reads. What have you read recently? What did you think of them? Have you read anything from my latest today? Let’s chat!
