Popular Books That I’ve Loved To Read

Popular Books That I’ve Loved To Read

Posted by angelreads Discussions No Comments

On Tuesday I share some of the underhyped books that I loved reading. So today I thought I would share books that were/have become popular that I loved. From old favourites to books I’ve read this year. I tried to share a mix of different romance genres and more.

It’s really hard to say what is popular sometimes. But this is based on my experience and what I have seen as a bookseller, and on social media. And as always these are in no real order. So let’s go. 

Lessons in Corruption (The Fallen Men #1) by Giana Darling | From Lukov with Love by Mariana Zapata. | Broken Bonds (The Bonds That Tie #1) by J. Bree. | Neon Gods (Dark Olympus #1) by Katee Robert.

The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood | Brutal Prince (Brutal Birthright #1) by Sophie Lark.  | 7th Circle (Hades #1) by Tate James | From Blood and Ash (Blood and Ash #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout.

Birthday Girl by Penelope Douglas | Twisted Games (Twisted #2) by Ana Huang. | It Ain’t Me, Babe (Hades Hangmen #1) by Tillie Cole | Praise (Salacious Players Club #1) by Sara Cate.

And there we go! Those are some of the popular books that I’ve loved to read. What popular books have you loved? Have you read any of these books? What do you think of them? Let’s Chat!

Underhyped Books That I Cannot Help But Love

Underhyped Books That I Cannot Help But Love

Posted by angelreads Top Ten Tuesday 7 Comments

This week I’m sharing the underhyped books that I cannot but love. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl

I really struggled with this week’s topic. Mainly because who I think may be an unlikeable character, someone else might disagree. So I decided to play around with this theme, and instead share underhyped books that I love. 

I love sharing books that I love and that don’t see around a lot. That I want more people to read. So I thought it would be the perfect post to share some of the underhyped books that I cannot help but love. Let’s get right into it. And always these are in no order. 

One Night in Garoureve (The Shifters of Garoureve #1) by Elle M. Drew – Review. | Lilacs and Leather (Pack Saint Clair #1) by Thora Woods. | Find Me (WITSEC #1) by Ashley N. Rostek | Dark Horse (A Demon’s Guide to the Afterlife #1) by Kel Carpenter and Aurelia Jane.

The Mistletoe Motive by Chloe Liese | Tin (Faeries of Oz #1) by Candace Robinson and Amber R. Duell. |Drag Me Up (Gods of Hunger #1) by R.M. Virtues. | Queen Takes Knights (Their Vampire Queen #1) by Joely Sue Burkhart.

The Ones Who Got Away (The Ones Who Got Away #1) by Roni Loren | A Delicate Deception (Regency Imposters #3) by Cat Sebastian.

And there we go. Those are some of the books that I think are underhyped that I cannot help but love. Have you read any fo these books? What did you think of them? What made it to your list this week?Let’s chat!

Getting Back Into Reading | October Wrap Up

Posted by angelreads Monthly Wrap Up No Comments

October started off slow, but as the month went on I got to reading more and more. I read a mix of things this month. From some new-to-me authors and old favourites. It was a mix of contemporary to monster and darker romances.

I really like the mix that I did have this month. If I was ever getting bored with something or I felt that I was going to go into a slump. I would just switch it up. I did plan to read more monster romances for Halloween. But I didn’t get to as many as I would have liked. But I did have a good time reading what I did. 

Anyway enough of all this. Here are all the books that I read this October. And as always these are in no real order. 

Washed In Blood (Heaven’s Guardians MC #1) by Ashley Lane – 3 Stars | Silenced By Sin (Heaven’s Guardians MC #2) by Ashley Lane – 3 Stars. | Haunted By Regret (Heaven’s Guardians MC #3) by Ashley Lane – 3 Stars | Betrayed by Beauty (Heaven’s Guardians MC #4) by Ashley Lane – 3 Stars. 

Laurels and Liquor (Pack Saint Clair #3) by Thora Woods – 3.5 Stars – Review | Icebreaker (UCMH #1) by Hannah Grace – 4 stars – Review. | Muscles & Monsters (Leviathan Fitness #1) by Ashley Bennett – 3.5 Stars | Tentacles & Triathlons (Leviathan Fitness #2) by Ashley Bennett – 3.5 Stars. 

Failure to Thrive by Elle Rivers – 2 Stars | Just Drop Out (Hannaford Prep #1) by J Bree – 3.5 Stars.  | Make Your Move (Hannaford Prep #2) by J. Bree – 4 Stars | Play the Game (Hannaford Prep #3) by J. Bree – 3.5 Stars.

Monster’s Plaything (Monster & Me #1) by C.R. Jane and Mila Young – 4 Stars. | Rookie Move (Brooklyn Bruisers #1) by Sarina Bowen – 4 Stars Reread. | Hard Hitter (Brooklyn Bruisers #2) by Sarina Bowen – 3.5 Stars Reread. | Pipe Dreams (Brooklyn Bruisers #3) by Sarina Bowen – 4 Stars Reread. 

Brooklynaire (Brooklyn Bruisers #4) by Sarina Bowen – 4 Stars Reread. | Bountiful (True North #4) by Sarina Bowen – 4 Stars Reread. 

And there we go. Those are all the books that I read this October. I did a little re-read at the end of the month, as I felt like I was falling into a little slump. But I’m currently reading Queen of the Vampire Court by Katee Robert and loving it so that is exciting. Overall my month ended up being pretty good. 

What did you read this month? What was your favourite read? Have you read anything from my wrap-up? What did you think of them? Is there anything you are looking forward to reading in November? Nevertheless, 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?
