Cozy Reads That You Need To Read

Posted by angelreads Top Ten Tuesday 9 Comments

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

It took me a little while to pick the books for this week. But once I started I could not stop. While it’s coming to summer here in Australia, it’s feeling pretty wet here in Melbourne. And it doesn’t look like it’s getting better, any time soon. So these are the books that I would like to read on those cold and rainy days. The books that I feel like a cuddle. 

So today I’m sharing my cozy reads. It doesn’t always mean winter and books set during Christmas for me. But books that make me feel good and put a smile on my face. And let’s get right into it. As always these are in no order. 

A Little Too Late (Madigan Mountain #1) by Sarina Bowen | Muscles & Monsters (Leviathan Fitness #1) by Ashley Bennett. | Lovelight Farms (Lovelight #1) by B.K. Borison | With You Forever (Bergman Brothers #4) by Chloe Liese.

In Deeper Waters by F.T. Lukens | The Mistletoe Motive by Chloe Liese | From Lukov with Love by Mariana Zapata. | Punderworld, Volume 1 (Punderworld #1) by Linda Šejić. 

Heartstopper: Volume One (Heartstopper #1) by Alice Oseman | Check, Please! Book 1: #Hockey (Check, Please! #1 (years 1-2)) by Ngozi Ukazu.

And there we go. Those are some of my cozy reads that I think you should read. From warm and fuzzy feelings to christmas and winter reads. These are perfect for this time of year or when ever you need a pick me up. 

What books made it onto you list this week? Do we have any books that are the same? Have you read anuthing from my list. So, let’s chat!

A Pretty Tame Month | November Haul

Posted by angelreads Book Hauls No Comments

It was a pretty tame November in regard to the books I bought and received. I know that December will be a little more intense that is for sure. And even though it was my birthday this month it wasn’t too bad. 

I bought quite a few books this month that either have been on my tbr a while or I’ve wanted to get physical copies of them for some time. There are also a couple of review books as well that made I received in December. It was a pretty good month overall. And I’ve already made my way through some of these books as well. 

So let’s get into it. And always these are in no real order. Just whatever I see first really. 

A Little Too Late (Madigan Mountain #1) by Sarina Bowen | A Little Too Close (Madigan Mountain #2) by Rebecca Yarros. | A Little Too Wild (Madigan Mountain #3) by Devney Perry. | Two Wrongs Make a Right by Chloe Liese.

The Dragon’s Bride (A Deal With a Demon #1) by Katee Robert | The Kraken’s Sacrifice (A Deal With a Demon #2) by Katee Robert. | The Demon’s Bargain: Peculiar Tastes #2 (A Deal With a Demon #4) by Katee Robert. | A Match for Hell. (The Infernal Rending Universe #1) by Traci Lovelot.

Demon Hunter Academy (The Infernal Rending Universe) by Traci Lovelot. | The Death God’s Sacrifice (Peculiar Tastes #1) by Jenny Nordbak | The Hellmouth Guardian’s Lover (Peculiar Tastes #3) by Adriana Herrera. | The Vixen’s Deceit (Peculiar Tastes #4) by Nikki Sloane. 

The Captive Merman’s Promise (Peculiar Tastes #5) by Zoey Castile | The Fae Queen’s Captive (Peculiar Tastes #6) by Sierra Simone.

And there we go, those are the books that I brought or received this November. For me, it was a pretty tame month, so I’m feeling pretty good about that. Nevertheless, what books did you get this month? Have you read anything that I got? 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?
