My Audiobooks TBR | September Update

My Audiobooks TBR | September Update

Posted by angelreads TBR No Comments

It’s been a few months since I’ve share my audiobooks tbr with you. And I’ve picked up a fair few new ones recently. So today I’m sharing some of the recent audiobooks I’ve picked up through Libro.fm

Libro.fm is a platform where you can purchase audiobooks from local bookstores. I’m part of their ACL program, where I receive free audiobooks in exchange for reviewing and talking about them. 

I try to read a range of different audiobooks and it’s where I read most of my nonfiction. Anyway, let’s get into it. Here are the audiobooks that I’ve gotten over the last few months. 

The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy by Megan Bannen | Twisted Love (Twisted #1) by Ana Huang |
Thank You for Listening by Julia Whelan|  Honey & Spice by Bolu Babalola.
 
Carrie Soto Is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid| Before We Were Trans: A New History of Gender by Kit Heyam. | Ithaca (The Songs of Penelope #1) by Claire North | Bookish People by Susan Coll.
 
 
I’m Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy | A Broken Blade (The Halfling Saga #1) by Melissa Blair | The Kiss Curse (Ex Hex #2) by Erin Sterling. 
 
And there we go. These are the current titles that are on my Libro.f tbr. I’m really excited to get stuck into a few of these. Where should I start? Do you use Libro.fm? Or do you use something else to listen to your audiobooks? Let’s chat! 
Books with Geographical Terms in the Title

Books with Geographical Terms in the Title

Posted by angelreads Top Ten Tuesday 4 Comments

This week I’m sharing the books with geographical terms in the title. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

Okay, I am not going to lie, this week’s topic was hard. I seriously had no idea what books to pick at the start, but as I went through them, it slowly started to come to me. There are books on this list that I haven’t thought about in a while so I enjoyed going through the books I’ve read. I also may have stretched some of these terms just a little. 

Now let’s get right into it. These are the books that I have enjoyed with geographical terms in the title. And as always these are in no order. 

An Inheritance of Ashes by Leah Bobet | These Shallow Graves by Jennifer Donnelly  | Words in Deep Blue by Cath Crowley. | Burning (Burning #1) by Danielle Rollins.

Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys | North of Need (Hearts of the Anemoi #1) by Laura Kay | No Place to Run (KGI #2) by Maya Banks. | From Blood and Ash (Blood and Ash #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout.

Beyond the Horizon by Bea Paige | City of Bones (The Mortal Instruments #1) by Cassandra Clare 

And there we go. Those are the books that I have enjoyed with geographical terms in the title. This one was an interesting but hard topic and I’m intrigued to see what books made it to your list. Let’s Chat!

Yeah, this is what I wanted. I really enjoyed Vict Yeah, this is what I wanted. I really enjoyed Victoria Wilder’s Bourbon Boys series, and as soon as I heard she was writing a new series, around whiskey and women. Well, hell year. It took me a little bit to get into the book, but after a few chapters, I was hooked. 

Wyn is hiding, hiding from everyone, even when she is there. She is hiding behind so much, and damn, I don’t blame her. We don’t know everything from the start, but we start piecing things together, and my heart broke. And I was terrified for her. But she is a Crowne woman, and that means something. 

We’ve met Julian before, and while he intrigued me before, I am invested now. He is charming, secretive in the best way and will do anything at this point for Wyn. But he is also lost, and somehow he finds his way to Rumour and back into Wyn’s life. 

The romance is hot and steamy and everything that you want. The tension and chemistry in this one is high. Neither Wyn nor Julian wants to really give in or give up on one another, but a lot is standing in their way, honestly, mainly themselves. I just sat there giggling half the time because they are swoon-worthy. 

I would say this is the darkest Victoria Wilder book I’ve read, so double-check those trigger warnings before jumping in because there is a lot that happens. And I don’t think it’s going to die down any time soon because these Crowne women are badass, and I know things are only just getting started. 

Overall, Rumors & Whiskey is hot and sexual. The tension is dripping off the page, and then you are thrown into the terror and horrors of Rumour. You don’t know what is going to happen next, you don’t know who to trust, and there are so many more secrets that have yet to be revealed. I know I am ready for more. Are you?

Thank you to @atriabooksaus for an earc of Rumors & Whiskey 🥃. I’m in love.

March was a better reading month than February for March was a better reading month than February for me, and while I’m still stuck in my heated rivalry fanfiction era I managed to scrap out of it a little this month. 

I reread four books from the sweet omegaverse series and honestly had the best time. I also read two of my most anticipated reads of the year and had a blast. Sadly I did also have my first dnf of the year.

What did you read this March? Any standouts? What are you looking forward to reading in April? 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.
