A Good End To The Year | December Wrap Up

A Good End To The Year | December Wrap Up

Posted by angelreads Monthly Wrap Up No Comments

Welcome to 2023, how are we all going? Today I am sharing all the books I ended reading in December. It’s a pretty up-and-down month for me but ended up finishing off the year pretty good. I work in a bookstore so December is our busiest month, retail Christmas and all. So let’s just say I didn’t have too much time to sit and relax. But I am really happy with what I ended up reading. 

I picked up a good range of books this month. I read a few Christmas books, a few paranormal romances and a couple of others here and there. And without a doubt, these are all romances as usual. So let’s get right into and as always these are in no real order. 

Knot All Is Lost: Part 1 (Knot All Is Omegaverse #1) by Elizabeth Knight  – 4 Stars | Knot All Is Lost: Part 2 (Knot All Is Omegaverse #2) by Elizabeth Knight. – 3.5 Stars. | Heartless (Chestnut Springs #2) by Elsie Silver – 4 Stars | Steps (Finding Their Muse #1) by Bea Paige – 3.5 Stars Reread.

Sacrificed to the Dragon (Stonefire Dragons #1) by Jessie Donovan – 4 Stars| Seducing the Dragon (Stonefire Dragons #2) by Jessie Donovan. – 4 Stars. | Furore (The Night Skulls MC #1) by N.J. Adel – 1 Star. | How the Grump Saved Christmas by Claire Kingsley – 3 Stars. 

Tis’ the Season for Revenge (Springbrook Hills #5) by Morgan Elizabeth – 4 Stars. | From Cocktails to Sleigh Bells by Wren K. Morris – 3 Stars | Focused (Ward Sisters #1) by Karla Sorensen – 4 Stars. | The Savage by Daniela Romero – 2.5 Stars. 

Montana Lights and Mistletoe Nights: Gabriel and Alba (Kings of Retribution MC Christmas Collection ) by Crystal Daniels and Sandy Alvarez – 3 Stars. | Leather and Mistletoe by Crystal Daniels and Sandy Alvarez – 3 Stars. | Tangled in Tinsel (Holidates #1) by Trilina Pucci – 3 Stars. | Lost Wolf (Savage #1) by Mila Young. – 3.5 Stars Reread. 

Broken Wolf (Savage #2) by Mila Young 3.5 Stars Reread. | Fated Wolf (Savage #3) by Mila Young – 3.5 Stars. 
 
And there we go those are all the books that I read in December and closed off the year. It was an up-and-down reading monthly for sure. There were some that I loved reading and there were a few not-so-great ones here. However, I’m pretty happy with how I finished up the year. 
 
What books did you read in December? What was your favourite? Have you read anything from my wrap-up? So let’s chat!

My Favorite Books of 2022

Posted by angelreads Top Ten Tuesday 17 Comments

This week I’m sharing my favourite reads of 2022. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

Welcome to the new year and the first Top Ten Tuesday of 2023. Today I am sharing my favourite books of 2022. It was quite hard putting this list together as I had so many good reads. So in the end I read 231 books, over 65,804 pages. And my favourite part; a whole heap of romance books. 

So when putting this list together I had to really think about the books I love. I don’t get 5 stars out a lot, and the same went for this year. But I also loved a lot of books this year. There was a heap of 4-star reads. When I put this list together I tried to pick one book per series, and one book per author. It didn’t always turn out that way, but I tried.

So let’s go, here are my favourite reads for 2022. And let’s hope that we all have a fantastic reading year in 2023, without a doubt it’s going to be a good one.

The Dragon’s Bride (A Deal With a Demon #1) by Katee Robert | Everything for You (Bergman Brothers #5) by Chloe Liese. | Delilah Green Doesn’t Care (Bright Falls #1) by Ashley Herring Blake | The Longing of Lone Wolves (Fae Guardians #1) by Lana Pecherczyk.

Broken Bonds (The Bonds That Tie #1) by J. Bree | Unhinged (Necessary Evils #1) by Onley James | Mixed Signals (Lovelight #3) by B.K. Borison. | Two Wrongs Make a Right (The Wilmot Sisters #1) by Chloe Liese.

Electric Idol (Dark Olympus #2) by Katee Robert  | Find Me (WITSEC #1) by Ashley N. Rostek | From Lukov with Love by Mariana Zapata. | Lilacs and Leather (Pack Saint Clair #1) by Thora Woods.

And there we go. Those are my favourite books for 2022. And yes I do know there are more than 10 here. I just wasn’t able to pick. Have you read any of these? What did you think of them? Are you planning on reading any of them? And what books were your favourite in 2022? So, 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?
