Books on My Autumn 2023 To-Read List

Posted by angelreads Top Ten Tuesday 10 Comments

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

It’s time for another to-read list, and while most of the world is going into spring, we are going into Autumn here in Australia. So today I’m sharing the books that I hope to get to in the next few months. For the most part, a lot of these are for books that I want to read before I go to RARE Melbourne and BABE in Sydney.

I’m so excited to meet so many authors, but there are also so many that are new to me. So I am trying out some of their books before I go. There are also some books on here that I have been wanting to read for a while and hope to get to soon, and some new release from my favourite authors. 

So let’s get into it, these are the books that I am hoping to read in the next few months. And as always these are in order. 

A Soul to Heal (Duskwalker Brides, #2) by Opal Reyne | The Dreams of Broken Kings (Fae Guardians #3) by Lana Pecherczyk. | First Blade (Awakening #1) by Jane Hinchey. | Lords of Pain (The Royals of Forsyth University, #1) by Angel Lawson and Samantha Rue.

Beautiful Danger (The Crimson Crows #1) by Gabrielle Delacourt. | King of Wrath (Kings of Sin, #1) by Ana Huang. | Highest Bidder (Salacious Players Club #5) by Sara Cate. | The Crown of Oaths and Curses (The Mortal Fates, #1) by J. Bree.

Coach by Devney Perry | If Only You (Bergman Brothers #6) by Chloe Liese.

And there we go! Those are just some of the books that I am planning and hoping to read this Autumn. And while it’s going to be pretty busy for me in the coming months, I do hope that I get to most of these. What books made it onto your tbr for the next few months? So do we share any books that are the same? Let’s chat! 

So Far So Good | February Haul

So Far So Good | February Haul

Posted by angelreads Book Hauls No Comments

 

It’s been a pretty good year so far. I am really trying not to buy too many books during the first half of the year because of all the events I’m going to. I have 2 big events happening in the next few months and I’ve pre-ordered quite a few books already. Because of this, I’m trying to only buy new releases, books I’ve had on order for a while and maybe some second-hand shopping trips. 

This isn’t a strict buying ban, but I am trying to make some good choices. So today I’m sharing the books I brought and received in January and February 2023. In the last two months, I went to a book event, bought some new releases and grabbed a few books second-hand and a few free ebooks from amazon. 

There is a mix of books here from new to me authors to books that I have highly anticipated. So let’s get into it, as always these are in no order. 

Chain of Thorns (The Last Hours, #3) by Cassandra Clare.| Chain of Thorns (The Last Hours, #3) by Cassandra Clare. – Waterstones Edition | Calendar Girl: Volume One (Calendar Girl #1-3) by Audrey Carlan. | Resisting Roots (Lotus House #1) by Audrey Carlan.

The Marriage Auction: Season One, Volume One by Audrey Carlan. | The Redeemable (Hell’s Redemption #1) by Grace McGinty | The Unrepentant. (Hell’s Redemption #2) by Grace Mcginty. | Rebels and Runaways (Eden Academy, #1) by Grace McGinty.

Final Offer (Dreamland Billionaires, #3) by Lauren Asher. | Radiant Sin (Dark Olympus, #4) by Katee Robert | The Governess Game. (Girl Meets Duke, #2) by Tessa Dare. | Down Range (Shadow Warriors, #2) by Lindsay McKenna. 

Night’s Immortal Kiss by Cheryln Jac. | First Blade (Awakening #1) by Jane Hinchey. | Sweet Berries (Cambric Creek, #2) by C.M. Nascosta. | Bloody Lucky: A Thornbriar Academy Story Cali Mann.

And there we go, that is what my haul looks like so far this year. I’ve already read a few books on this list and I plan on reading some more soon. What books have you gotten so far this year? Do we have any that are the same? So, let’s chat!

Well, I know that I am meeting most of these authors. I am going to quite a few bookish events this year and going to have the chance to meet a lot of authors already on this list. Some I hope to meet in the future. I thought about this a lot and there are still so many authors I would love to add. But these are some on the top of my list. These are in no real order, so let’s go. 

Onley James | Lauren Asher.  | J.Bree  | Mariana Zapata.

Katee Robert | Chloe Liese. | Rebecca Yarros | B.K. Borison.

Nalini Singh. | Kathryn Moon

And here we go. Those are just some of the authors that I would love to meet. From new to me authors do some I gave been reading for years now. I am so excited to be meeting the ones that I am this year and more. I am going to some amazing events this year and I cannot wait. 

Who are some of the authors that you would love to meet? Do we share any of the same authors? Who are some of the authors that you have met and loved? 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.

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?

January was a really solid reading month. I read s January was a really solid reading month. I read some books that had been on my tbr for some time, reread a few things that peaked my interest. I also started a few new series. And just had a good time!
