Books I Love With Gorgeous Covers

Posted by angelreads Uncategorized 4 Comments

This week I’m sharing some of the books that I have loved that also have gorgeous covers. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl.

It’s freebie week on Top Ten Tuesday this week, so I thought I would share some cover love. So I am sharing the books that have gorgeous covers that I have also loved what’s inside. There is a range of books here, mostly romance but there is a YA or two. I don’t always know why I love a cover. It could be the colours used or the feel that they give. Some I can just stare at all day.

Enough of this, let’s get right into it. Here are just some of the books that I have loved that also have gorgeous covers. As always these are in no real order.

Broken Bonds (The Bonds That Tie #1) by J. Bree. | The Kraken’s Sacrifice (A Deal With a Demon #2) by Katee Robert. | Lavender and Lightning (Pack Saint Clair #2.) by Thora Woods | Find Me (WITSEC #1) by Ashley N. Rostek.

Tin (Faeries of Oz #1 ) by Candace Robinson and Amber R. Duell. | Angel (Fallen Angel #3) by Ella Frank and Brooke Blaine. | A King so Cold (Royals #1) by Ella Fields | The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune.

Mixed Signals (Lovelight #3) by B.K. Borison. | With the Fire on High by Elizabeth Acevedo.

And there we go. Those are some of the books that I have loved reading and also have gorgeous covers. Have you read any of these books? What did you think of them? What are books that you love that have gorgeous covers? Let’s chat!

Posted by angelreads Monthly Wrap Up No Comments

And here we go. This is the last part of my yearly wrap-up for 2022. I’ve had such a great time doing this series. And I’m sad it’s coming to an end but I can’t wait to do it again next year.

Summer Reading Tag | Book Tag

Posted by angelreads Book Tag 2 Comments

It’s time for another book tag. It has been a while since I have done one of these and what better day to do the summer reading tag than today? If you don’t know already I live in Australia and it’s definitely hit summer at the moment. It’s quite warm let’s just saw that. This tag was created by Amy Jane Reads. However, the video is no longer active and I found the tag over at Zezee With Books.

I have a love-hate relationship with summer. I love it because I like to swim and go to the beach. But also it does get quite hot here in Melbourne. I didn’t end up doing the whole tag as some questions I didn’t know how to answer some, but let’s get right into the tag.

WHAT THREE BOOKS DO YOU WANT TO READ THIS SUMMER?

There are so many books that I want to read in the next few months. So many. But some of the books on my tbr that I want to at least try and read are; A Deal with the Elf King by Elisa Kova, Wicked Beauty (Dark Olympus #3) by Katee Robert and Midnight Kisses by Jeanine Bennedict.

WHICH CHARACTER MOST EMBODIES THE TRAITS OF SUMMER?

This was such a hard one for me to pick. I really don’t know. So instead I picked a few books that I have loved that covers remind me of summer. Heartless(Chestnut Springs #2) by Elsie Silver, Laurels and Liquor (Pack Saint Clair #3) by Thora Woods. Nowhere But Here (Thunder Road #1) by Katie McGarry and For Vacation Only by Mila Nicks.

WHAT BOOK/S DO YOU MOST ASSOCIATE WITH THE PHYSICALITY OF SUMMER?

Again this is such a hard question. And I did have to do some digging. But firstly Girl Against the Universe by Paula Stokes stands out to me. Tennis and Summer are just the pair for me. Plus this book was fantastic. The second one is Secrets of a Summer Night (Wallflowers #1) by Lisa Kleypas. Not only is it one of my favourites but it just reminds me of summer nights.

WHAT KIND OF BOOKS DO YOU LIKE TO READ ON HOLIDAY? ANY BOOKS THAT HOLD MEMORIES TO CERTAIN PLACES?

I honestly will read anything on holidays. I’m a mood reader through and through. So I could read something that will make me call my eyes out on a holiday. But I do tend to feel like reading more on the contemporary side of romances during the summer and when I am away on holiday. They are just easy to read. I can go back and forth without having to remember everything.

Some of the books I have read or would love to read again in summer; Luna and the Lie by Mariana Zapata, Focused (Ward Sisters #1) by Karla Sorensen. Rookie Move (Brooklyn Bruisers #1) by Sarina Bowen and In the Weeds (Lovelight #2) by B.K. Borison.

IF YOU COULD GO ON HOLIDAY WITH ANY AUTHOR, WHO WOULD YOU GO WITH AND WHERE? WHAT WOULD YOU WANT TO KNOW?

Ohhh. This is just such an interesting one. But I would love to go on a holiday with Cassandra Clare. She has gone to so many magical places and I would love for her to take me on those journeys that she has gone on. I don’t even care where we go.

And there we go! That is the summer reading tag. I had a lot of fun doing this tag and it was a fantastic way to celebrate a hot summer day. What would your answers be? Do you like summer? If you want to do this tag, let me know! Let’s chat!
