TV Shows That I Love Watching

Posted by angelreads Top Ten Tuesday 6 Comments

This week I’m sharing something a little different and sharing TV shows that I have loved watching. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

I had a lot of fun doing this week’s Top Ten Tuesday. I don’t talk about the shows I watch a lot so I jumped on this topic. Apart from reading I love watching different series. So today was a blast. As you will probably be able to tell I like a whole heap of different tv shows.

From contemporary to fantasy and everything in between. I just love having the option to watch whatever I feel like. Some of my favourite tv shows are on this list. And that makes me just super excited. So let’s get into it. Here are some of the tv shows that I loved watching. As always these are in no order. 

Criminal Minds – Created by Jeff Davis | Shadow and Bone – Developed by Eric Heisserer | NCIS: Los Angeles | NCIS: Los Angeles – Created by Donald P. Bellisario and Don McGill. | House of the Dragon – Created by Ryan Condal and George R. R. Martin. 

Merlin – Created Julian Jones,  Jake Michie,  Johnny Capps and Julian Murphy. | Stargate SG-1 – Created by Brad Wright and Jonathan Glassner. | Charmed – Created by Constance M. Burge. | Hawaii Five-0 – Developed by Peter M. Lenkov, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci. 

Lucifer – Developed by Tom Kapinos. | Buffy the Vampire Slayer. 

And there we go. Those are just some of the tv shows that I have really enjoyed watching. And I can probably re-watch any of these series. What tv shows do you love to watch? What made it to your list? Let’s chat!

Books With Animals on The Cover

Posted by angelreads Top Ten Tuesday 2 Comments

This week I’m sharing books with animals on the cover. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

I liked this week’s Top Ten Tuesday a lot. It let me have a little break from thinking too hard and just sharing some pretty covers. I am a sucker for a good cover, and if it has an animal on it, I am drawn right in. Today I’m sharing with you a range of different books from fantasy to paranormal and a few others here and there. I also let myself go with fictional and mythological animals as well. 

So let’s get right into it. Here are some books I have liked with animals on the cover. And as always these are in no order. 

Wolf Kissed (Luna Marked #1) by Heather Renee | Psycho (Necessary Evils, #2) by Onley James. | Broken Bonds (The Bonds that Tie, #1) by J. Bree. | Sacrificed to the Dragon (Stonefire Dragons, #1) by Jessie Donovan. 

 

Dark Horse (A Demon’s Guide to the Afterlife #1) by Kel Carpenter and Aurelia Jane. | The Dragon’s Bride (A Deal With a Demon, #1) by Katee Robert. | Muscles & Monsters (Leviathan Fitness, #1) by Ashley Bennett | Desperate Measures (Wicked Villains, #1) by Katee Robert.

The Vixen’s Lead (Kit Davenport, #1) by Tate James. | Lore Olympus: Volume One by Rachel Smythe.

And there we go. Those are some of the books that I have enjoyed with animals on the cover. Have you read any of these? Are you planning on reading any of them? What are the books that made it to your list? Let’s Chat!

Books I’ve Already Loved This Year

Posted by angelreads Discussions No Comments

We are already going into 4 months of the year, so I thought it would be fun today to share some of my favourite reads so far. As of the 7th of April, I have read 72 books. I’m kind of shocked about but I have just constantly been reading. I’ve had some highs and some lows in terms of what I’ve read. But overall it’s been a pretty good year so far. 

While it’s no surprise everything I have been reading has been romance. Which I am loving. I have also been trying to read as many books from authors that are attending events that I am going to. So it’s been a pretty fun year so far.

But let’s get into here. Here are some of the books that I am already loving in 2023. As always these are in no order. Please also check trigger and content warnings for each book. 

The Kraken’s Sacrifice (A Deal With a Demon, #2) by Katee Robert: I knew that I was going to like this one before I even picked it up. And I wasn’t disappointed. This is a mix of sweet and sexy tied with a very emotional story. This is a monster romance that hits the spot. 

Where Good Girls Go To Die (Good Girls, #1) by Holly Renee: I wasn’t expecting to like this one as much as I did, but right from the start I was drawn in. This was more of a slower burn than I thought it was going to be. It’s not slow, but it takes a little more time. Which I liked. 

The Wrong Bride (The Windsors, #1) by Catharina Maura: This had been on my tbr for a while and I picked it up because I’m seeing Catharina this month! I loved reading this book. It was exactly what I was looking for and it was delivered. I’m so excited to read the rest of the series and even more books from Catharina. 

Final Offer (Dreamland Billionaires, #3) by Lauren Asher: This is no doubt one of my favourite books of the year. It’s my favourite of the series. This was sexy, sweet and oh-so emotional. The romance was hot and heavy, but also slow and sexy at the same time. It was nice seeing these two fall in love again.

Death Wish (Reaper Reborn, #1) by Harper A. Brooks: I hadn’t heard much about this book before I picked it up recently. But I ended up really enjoying it. It wasn’t as smutty as I was expecting, but I still had a fantastic time reading it. 

Maniac (Necessary Evils, #7) by Onley James: I’ve been waiting for this book since when I started this series and I wasn’t disappointed. Maniac is full of angst, smut and lots of violence. But it was a fantastic end to the series. 

Heartless (Chestnut Springs, #2) by Elsie Silver: This is actually a re-read. I read this late last year, but with the new book coming out I wanted to read the first and third book for the first time. I ended up loving this one just as much as the first time, a grumpy single dad is what I need. 

 

And there we go. Those are some of my favourite reads so far this year. From new to me authors to some I already love. I’ve already had a pretty good year and cannot wait to see what the rest of the year brings. Have you read any of these books? What did you think of them? Are you planning on reading any of these? What are some of the books that you have loved this year.

Yeah, this is what I wanted. I really enjoyed Vict Yeah, this is what I wanted. I really enjoyed Victoria Wilder’s Bourbon Boys series, and as soon as I heard she was writing a new series, around whiskey and women. Well, hell year. It took me a little bit to get into the book, but after a few chapters, I was hooked. 

Wyn is hiding, hiding from everyone, even when she is there. She is hiding behind so much, and damn, I don’t blame her. We don’t know everything from the start, but we start piecing things together, and my heart broke. And I was terrified for her. But she is a Crowne woman, and that means something. 

We’ve met Julian before, and while he intrigued me before, I am invested now. He is charming, secretive in the best way and will do anything at this point for Wyn. But he is also lost, and somehow he finds his way to Rumour and back into Wyn’s life. 

The romance is hot and steamy and everything that you want. The tension and chemistry in this one is high. Neither Wyn nor Julian wants to really give in or give up on one another, but a lot is standing in their way, honestly, mainly themselves. I just sat there giggling half the time because they are swoon-worthy. 

I would say this is the darkest Victoria Wilder book I’ve read, so double-check those trigger warnings before jumping in because there is a lot that happens. And I don’t think it’s going to die down any time soon because these Crowne women are badass, and I know things are only just getting started. 

Overall, Rumors & Whiskey is hot and sexual. The tension is dripping off the page, and then you are thrown into the terror and horrors of Rumour. You don’t know what is going to happen next, you don’t know who to trust, and there are so many more secrets that have yet to be revealed. I know I am ready for more. Are you?

Thank you to @atriabooksaus for an earc of Rumors & Whiskey 🥃. I’m in love.

March was a better reading month than February for March was a better reading month than February for me, and while I’m still stuck in my heated rivalry fanfiction era I managed to scrap out of it a little this month. 

I reread four books from the sweet omegaverse series and honestly had the best time. I also read two of my most anticipated reads of the year and had a blast. Sadly I did also have my first dnf of the year.

What did you read this March? Any standouts? What are you looking forward to reading in April? 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.
