Indie Romance Books That You Should Read

Posted by angelreads Top Ten Tuesday 4 Comments

This week I’m sharing indie romance books that you should read. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl.

It’s all about indie books this week and you all know that I love those. 90% of what I read these days is independently published/self-published books. Not for any reason other than it’s where I can find what I am looking for. So let’s just say I am very excited about this week’s Top Ten Tuesday. There are still a lot of readers out there that don’t know where to start with indie books. So today I thought I would share the romance books that I think you should read.

I am not going to lie, this post took me some time. I’ve read hundreds of indie romance books over the last few years and I could name way more than 10, so it did take me a while to dwindle it down. I tried to pick at least one book for nearly everyone.

So let’s get right into it. These are the indie romance books that I think you should read and hope that you enjoy. And like always these are in no order. Please check all trigger warnings before you read any of the books on this list.

Unhinged (Necessary Evils, #1) by Onley James | The Wrong Bride (The Windsors, #1) by Catharina Maura. | A Little Too Late (Madigan Mountain, #1) by Sarina Bowen. | Brutal Prince (Brutal Birthright, #1) by Sophie Lark.

The Longing of Lone Wolves (Fae Guardians, #1) by Lana Pecherczyk. | Broken Bonds (The Bonds that Tie, #1) by J. Bree. | The Never King (Vicious Lost Boys, #1) by Nikki St. Crowe. | A King so Cold (Royals, #1) by Ella Fields.

Reason to Believe (Legacy, #1) by Rebecca Yarros. | Under Locke by Mariana Zapata.

And there we go. Those are only just some of the indie books that I have loved and think you should give a go. Have you read any of these? What did you think of them? What indie books made it to your list? Ley’s chat!

Re-read Book Tag

Posted by angelreads Uncategorized No Comments

It’s time for another book tag. If you haven’t realised by now I love re-reading. I don’t know why but it’s one of my favourite things to do. It’s a great way to get me out of a slump and sometimes I just love re-reading something that I love. So when I came across this tag I knew that I had to do it.

The Reread Tag was created by Brianna at Brianna’s Books and Randomness, and you guessed it! It’s all about re-reading. So let’s get right into it.

A CHILDHOOD FAVOURITE THAT YOU COULD READ 100 TIMES AND STILL LOVE.

This could be one of two books. While I haven’t read them both in some time, I would not hesitate to read them again. And they are If I Ran the Circus by Dr. Seuss and Junie B. Jones Is a Beauty Shop Guy by Barbara Park. These are books I would re-read weekly when I was younger. If I Ran the Circus was one of the longest Dr. Seuss books I had and Junie B was such fun.

A BOOK YOU DNF’D BUT WOULD BE WILLING TO GIVE A SECOND CHANCE TO.

There aren’t many books that I DNF, it’s more ‘I don’t feel like this book at this moment’. So the book that fits this for me is The Diviners (The Diviners, #1) by Libba Bray. On paper, this sounds like my type of read. But I have tried to read it twice now and haven’t been in the mood. Maybe I will be able to do it one day.

A NEWER FAVORITE YOU WOULD RE-READ

I don’t even have to think about this one, because I have already done it and will do it again. But it’s Lola & the Millionaires: Part One and Two (Sweet Omegaverse, #2 & #3) by Kathryn Moon. This is now one of my favourite duo of books. I enjoy this whole series really but Lola is just everything that I want. If you like why choose and omegaverse and haven’t picked this up, do it.

A BOOK YOU HATED AND NEVER WANT TO READ AGAIN

There aren’t many books that I hate per se, but there are books that I didn’t enjoy and would not re-read again. Some of the books that I haven’t enjoyed recently are Steal Me (Haunted Roads #1) by India R. Adams, Rebel & Her Knights (Pack Bonds, #1) by Rosemary A. Johns and Vows of a Mobster by Eva Winners.

A CLASSIC YOU READ IN SCHOOL BUT WANT TO TRY AGAIN

There aren’t many classics that I read in school that I would like to re-read honestly. I mostly read Jane Austen and I’m just not a fan. I have tried to read several of her books for school and outside of it and just haven’t liked any. And the rest of the classics I mainly read were Shakespeare. Which I did enjoy, but I would rather read more from him than the same ones.

AN AUTHOR YOU WOULD RE-READ ANYTHING FROM

Again this is easy! Rebecca Yarros hands down. There isn’t a good of hers that I haven’t loved and given below a 4 star. I have re-read a few of her books already and would do it again hands down. She just writes books and characters that I fall in love with. And

A SERIES YOU WANT TO RE-READ FOR THE FUN OF IT

This is a toss-up between two series that I adore. The Winner’s Trilogy by Marie Rutkoski and The Conqueror’s Saga by Kiersten White. I adore both of these series so much, and I have wanted to do a re-read for some time now. so it might just happen soon.

And there we go. That is the re-read book tag. I hope that you enjoyed that, I know I had a lot of fun doing it. Do you like to re-read? What is a book that you would like to read again? If you do this tag let me know and I will check it out. Let’s Chat!

A Up-and-Down Reading Month | March Wrap Up

Posted by angelreads Monthly Wrap Up No Comments

March was a very up-and-down month for me. I went into a little reading slump and didn’t end up reading as much as I wanted to read. I ended up reading about 14 books, which is on the lower end for me. But I still read some fantastic books.

I read quite a few new authors this month in my preparation for signings that I’m going to this year. And I’m really excited because I discovered some that I already really enjoy and cannot wait to read even more. I also read books from some authors that I have been loving over the last year or so.

So let’s get into it. While the month was very up-and-down here are the books I read in March. And as always they are in no order.
