Recently Added Books To My Goodreads TBR

Posted by angelreads TBR No Comments

You know what time it is again. Here are the books I’ve recently added to my Goodreads TBR. As always, I use my Goodreads tbr to keep track of the books I want to read. Most of the time I don’t own these books, but sometimes I see a book that hasn’t been published yet. So it goes on here. 

So let’s get into it. Most of the books on this list are romance, but there are a few others that have always caught my eye recently. And as always these are in no order. 

How to Get a Girlfriend (When You’re a Terrifying Monster) (Monster Girlfriend #1) by Marie Cardno | Thicker Than Water by Becca Seymour. | Dark Fae (Ruthless Boys of the Zodiac #1) by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti. | Black Sheep by Brynne Weaver and Alexa Harlowe.

The Branded (The Branded Season #1) by Jo Riccioni | As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow by Zoulfa Katouh. | Kill Song (Cardinal Sins #1) by Heather Long and Blake Blessing | A Soul to Keep (Duskwalker Brides #1) by Opal Reyne.

The Nanny by Lana Ferguson | An Inconvenient Duke (Lords of the Armory #1) by Anna Harrington. | Blood Mercy (Blood Grace #1) by Vela Roth | Bewitched (Bewitched #1) by Laura Thalassa.

And there we go. Those are the recent books that I’ve added to my Goodreads tbr. Have you read any of these books? What did you think of them? Are you planning on reading them? What are some of the books that you have added to your tbr recently? Let’s chat!

Books I Love That Were Written Over Ten Years Ago

Books I Love That Were Written Over Ten Years Ago

Posted by angelreads Top Ten Tuesday 13 Comments

This week I’m sharing the books I love that were written over ten years ago. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

This was such a fun and interesting post to do. I’ve been blogging for over 10 years now, so I have a lot of records of the books I’ve been reading since about 2013. I had a lot of fun going back and seeing all the books I’ve read over the years.

There are some old favourites on here. And books that defined me for some time. So let’s go. Here are the books that I love that were written over ten years ago now. As always these are in no order.

 

Anna Dressed in Blood (Anna #1) by Kendare Blake – 2011 | Angelfall (Penryn & the End of Days #1) by Susan Ee – 2011. | Daughter of Smoke & Bone (Daughter of Smoke & Bone #1) by Laini Taylor – 2011. | The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians #1) by Rick Riordan – 2005.

Vampire Academy (Vampire Academy #1) by Richelle Mead – 2007 | My Love Lies Bleeding (Drake Chronicles #1) by Alyxandra Harvey – 2009. | Pushing the Limits (Pushing the Limits #1) by Katie McGarry – 2012 | Cinder (The Lunar Chronicles #1) by Marissa Meyer – 2012. 

Obsidian (Lux #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout – 2011 | Love in the Afternoon (The Hathaways #5) by Lisa Kleypas – 2010.

And there we go. Those are the books that I loved that were published ten or more years ago. Have you read any of these books? What did you think of them? What books have made it to your list? Let’s chat! 

 

Series That I Want To Start Soon | TBR

Series That I Want To Start Soon | TBR

Posted by angelreads TBR No Comments

Today I thought I would share with you all, the series that I want to start reading soon. I’m in the middle of quite a few series at the moment, but there are also so many more that I want to start. And you are going to see some of them today. 

I love binge-reading series, I don’t know what it is, but I love doing it. This means I can get through a series pretty fast. And today I thought it would be fun to share some of the ones that I want to start soon. The series that I have shown here had to have at least 2 books already published or to be published very soon. and I either had to have them on my Goodreads tbr or have them in physical form. 

There is a miss mash of series here. From dark romance to fantasy and historical romance. There are books from self-published authors, to series that are traditionally published. It’s a great example of what I read. But let’s get into it, here are the series that are on my tbr. 

Cardinal Sins by Heather Long and Blake Blessing | Lords of the Armory by Anna Harrington. | Monstrous Matches by Lillian Lark | Maze of Shadows by Kathryn Ann Kingsley.

Air Awakens by Elise Kova | The Plated Prisoner by Raven Kennedy | New Camelot Trilogy by Sierra Simone. | Written in the Stars by Alexandria Bellefleur.

Nashville Neighborhood by Nikki Sloane | Savage Lands by Stacey Marie Brown. | Hollywood Renaissance by Kennedy Ryan | Monsters & Muses by Sav R. Miller.

So, there we go, those are the series that I am excited to start reading. Have you read any of these series? What did you think of them? Are you planning on reading any of them? Neverthless, would you also like to see the series that I need to finish? 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?

January was a really solid reading month. I read s January was a really solid reading month. I read some books that had been on my tbr for some time, reread a few things that peaked my interest. I also started a few new series. And just had a good time!
