I Didn’t Do Too Bad  | July Haul

I Didn’t Do Too Bad | July Haul

Posted by angelreads Book Hauls No Comments

It’s July Haul time! And you know what? I didn’t do too bad. There were a few preorders that I did that arrived, and a few little purchases here and there. But overall I didn’t do too bad. I’m pretty happy with my purchase this month. 

If this haul also doesn’t show the range of romance and young adult I read, not sure what does. I was laughing a little when I was making the graphics. I go from some pretty dark romances to light and fluffy ones. Then to nice and sweet young adult. I find it really interesting.

But I am super excited to read all of these. And some I’ve already read. So let’s get into it. These are the books I got this July. 

The Never King (Vicious Lost Boys #1) by Nikki St. Crowe | The Dark One (Vicious Lost Boys #2) by Nikki St. Crowe. | Promises and Pomegranates (Monsters & Muses #1) by Sav R. Miller | Dead Man Walking (The Fallen Men #6) by Giana Darling.

The Dare by Harley Laroux | Long Shot (Hoops #1) by Kennedy Ryan – Special Edition. | My Mechanical Romance by Alexene Farol Follmuth | Things We Never Got Over (Knockemout #1) by Lucy Score.

An Inconvenient Duke (Lords of the Armory #1) by Anna Harrington | Lore Olympus: Volume Two (Lore Olympus Volumes #2) by Rachel Smythe. | His Sweetness (Wounded Souls #1) by Leah Sharelle. | Unnecessary Drama by Nina Kenwood.

The Sea Witch (Wicked Villains #5) by Katee Robert  | Queen Takes Rose (Wicked Villains #6) by Katee Robert | Wicked Villains Shorts (Wicked Villains) by Katee Robert. | Unnecessary Drama by Nina Kenwood.

And there we go. Those are the books that I got in July. Have you read any of these? What did you think of them? Are you planning on reading them? Nevertheless, let’s chat!

Worlds In Books I’d Love to Visit | TTT

Posted by angelreads Top Ten Tuesday 1 Comment


This week I’m sharing the worlds from books that I would like to visit. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

Now every place has its pros and cons and that goes for worlds in books. But there are still so many places that I would like to live or even visit. There isn’t a perfect world out there, so I have to make some expectations. I might not survive half these worlds but hey it will be fun. 

Here are the books and series that have worlds that I would like to visit or live in. And as always these are in no order. 

A Demon’s Guide to the Afterlife Series by Kel Carpenter and Aurelia Jane | The Bonds That Tie Series by J. Bree. | Fae Guardians Series by Lana Pecherczyk | Pack Saint Clair Series by Thora Woods.

Dark Olympus Series by Katee Robert  | Psy-Changeling Series by Nalini Singh | Sweet Omegaverse by Kathryn Moon and Lana Cole. | Lore by Alexandra Bracken. 

The Extraordinaries (The Extraordinaries #1) by T.J. Klune | A King so Cold (Royals #1) by Ella Fields.

And there we go. Those are the books with the worlds I would like to visit or live in. What are the ones that made your list? Do we have any that are the same? 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!
