Not A Great Reading Month | April Wrap Up

Not A Great Reading Month | April Wrap Up

Posted by angelreads Monthly Wrap Up 1 Comment

Well, I wasn’t expecting my April to go like this. I was finally back into reading after the slump I had last month. But then at the start of April, I ended up catching Covid… It wasn’t a great time, I was pretty out of it for a while. And even after I still wasn’t able to concentrate that much. Which lead to a not great reading month for me. 

So I re-read a few books and read some books that had been on my tbr for a while. I also was able to read a few novellas. By doing these few things, I was able to keep on reading without pushing myself too much. And while I didn’t read as much as I would have liked, I did read some fantastic books this month. So let’s get into it. These are the books I read in my not so great April. 

Delinquent (Academy of Misfits #1) by Bea Paige – Reread – 3.5 Stars | Reject (Academy of Misfits #2) by Bea Paige – Reread – 3.5 Stars | Family (Academy of Misfits #3) by Bea Paige – Reread – 3.5 Stars | The Fine Print (Dreamland Billionaires #1) by Lauren Asher – 4 Stars. 

Taken by a Sinner (Sinners #1) by Michelle Heard – 3 Stars | Praise (Salacious Players Club #1) by Sara Cate – 3.5 Stars | Doing It Right by Harloe Rae – 2 Stars | Lavender and Lightning (Pack Saint Clair #2) by Thora Woods – 4 Stars. 

Collided (Dirty Air #2) by Lauren Asher – 3 Stars | A Shot of Sin (The Vault #1) by Eden Summers – 3.5 Stars | Union of Sin (The Vault #2) by Eden Summers. – 3.5 Stars | Brutal Sin (The Vault #3) by Eden Summers – 3 Stars.

Carnage (Four Horsemen #1) by Sarah Bailey – 3 Stars | Chaos (Four Horsemen #2) by Sarah Bailey. – 3 Stars | Corrode (Four Horsemen #3) by Sarah Bailey – 3 Stars | Cataclysm (Four Horsemen #4) by Sarah Bailey – 3 Stars. 

Escaping Conviction (Conviction #1) by Greer Rivers – 3.5 Stars 

And there we go. Those are all the books that I read this April. Did you have a better reading month than me? What did you read? While I didn’t have a great April, I am hoping that next month is a little better. Let’s Chat!

I Did Well This Month | April Haul

Posted by angelreads Book Hauls 1 Comment

I didn’t buy that many books in April and I feel great about it. I did get a few, not going to lie. However, I also got a fair few for free. Some as gifts and some as arcs. I also got a good chuck on sale as well. Which really helped in regards to my spending. 

I got a range of books this month, but like most of my reading the past two years, a lot was romance. I’ve not been reading a lot of young adult. I am still here and there so you will see a little of it, but it’s mostly been romance. Nevertheless, enough chat, let’s get into it. Here are the books I bought and received this April. 

The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea by Axie Oh | Death. (The Four Horsemen #4) by Laura Thalassa | The Wolf and the Woodsman by Ava Reid | Terms and Conditions (Dreamland Billionaires #2) by Lauren Asher.

All That’s Left in the World by Erik J. Brown | Foolproof Love (Foolproof Love #1) by Katee Robert. | Sweetest in the Gale (There’s Something About Marysburg #3) by Olivia Dade | Take Me (Crimson Pack Trilogy #1) by A. Lonergan.

Lost Wolf (Savage #1) by Mila Young | Nightingale: An Anthology for Ukraine | Everything for You (Bergman Brothers #5) by Chloe Liese – ARC | Lavender and Lightning (Pack Saint Clair #2) by Thora Woods – ARC.

Under the Whispering Door by T.J. Klune | Delilah Green Doesn’t Care (Bright Falls #1) by Ashley Herring Blake. | The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels (Dangerous Damsels #1) by India Holton | The League of Gentlewomen Witches (Dangerous Damsels #2) by India Holton.

And there we go. Those are the books I got in April. I’ve already dived into a few of these books and I cannot wait to share my thought on them. If you don’t follow me on Goodreads you can check it out now so keep up to date with everything I read.

April was a very good reading month for me, especi April was a very good reading month for me, especially after last month. I had some really fantastic reads in April. I did do a lot of re-reading this month but I had such blast. I re-read Caught Up and Play Along and the first 4 books in the Ironside Academy series. 📚

I read some books that I’ve been waiting for including the new book from Kels and Denise Stone, as well as the new Tessa Hale. ✨

Overall it was such a good month, lots of binge reading series and starting on some new authors. I’m so excited to see what May brings. 🖤

What was your favourite book that you read in April?

IT’S RACE WEEK! 🏎️ If you didn’t know al IT’S RACE WEEK! 🏎️

If you didn’t know already I love F1, have ever since I was younger and decided that this year it would be fun to combined my love for F1 and reading together. 📚

After a week off we are back at it. We are in Miami this week’s and things are only just heating up. This week I’m reading Falling Off the Cliff  Kanitha P.

…

Formula 1 legend in the making and rising star Thiago Valencia is chasing redemption as well as his second World Champion title. With a tarnished reputation and an undetermined future in F1 that hangs by a terribly loose thread, he can’t afford to lose his seat. Thiago is ready to do anything to redeem himself and erase his past mistakes. When a mysterious woman intrudes on his private party in Monte Carlo, he is certain the universe has brought his polar opposite into his life as salvation. He is sunshine, she is moonlight; he is a bright star and she is a moonbeam.

Destiny takes the wheel, steering Kamari into Thiago’s orbit, but her open disdain and closely guarded heart warn her to stay away. Enchanted by her charms, Thiago is intent on melting her freezing barriers and tearing down the walls shielding her heart.

When Kamari agrees to help him save his future by being his fake girlfriend, the unexpected happens, triggered by a game of lies, secrets and desire.

As they plunge towards the finish line, the race veers offtrack and neither of them are ready to fall off the cliff.
…

A little late but I am finally getting to share Ra A little late but I am finally getting to share Race 5’s Race Week Reads review. This week I read, Downforce (Pit Lane #1) by Hannah Lily.

🏎️ Review 🏎️

I had so much fun reading this book. I knew I was in for a ride as soon as I started Downforce. It was entertaining, fun, and I just had a good time reading it. And while it does explore some heavy topics, I don’t think it took away from the fun nature of the book.

Right from the start, we can see the tension between F1 Presenter, Olivia Fraser and F1 Driver, Jonah Scott. And while silly at times, it was fun seeing them interact together. Both really didn’t like each other. They both had said things about and to one another that sometimes it caused chaos. And I was here for it.

I did find that at times, just silly things happened. I am not a massive rom-com reader, and there was a lot of falling into one another, and arguments stemmed from nothing. This is honestly just because I don’t like these types of scenes, but it didn’t really make me dislike the book at all.

I loved the whole road trip aspect of the book, it’s different from other F1 books I’ve read so far this year and just made for some interesting banter and lust. I do wish that the road trip was a little longer than it was because I did feel like the romance moved pretty quickly here, but again, it didn’t really affect how much I was enjoying the book.

The romance was this combination of being slow burn and full of angst right at the start, to the road trip happening and then bam. But I loved it, though. The banter between Olivia and Jonah was fantastic. I loved seeing them grow not only with one another but with themselves as well.

Overall, I had a great time reading Downforce and will be continuing the series for sure when the other books come out. The romance was angsty and just felt right. The found family aspect really worked well here, and the F1 aspects were pretty okay. Not the best I’ve seen, but not the worst either. If you are looking for a fun read that has a great romance and a little rom-comy, then pick this one up.
I’ve already had a pretty amazing reading year. I’ve already had a pretty amazing reading year. There have been so many books that I have enjoyed but there are some that I have just loved. 🖤

I didn’t realise before I put this post together that all of these books are from authors I’ve read and loved before. There hasn’t been a Rebecca Yarros book that I haven’t rated under 4 Stars. Elsie Silver is just making me love everything that she writes. Wild and Wrangled may be my favourite in the series. 📖

Three rereads also made it to this list. Binding 13 still makes me gasp and smile all at the same time. And Caught Up and Play Along just hit every time. 📚

I’ve honestly had a great year so far and since making this post a few more books I’ve read I’ve ended up loving. It’s going to be hard to pick my favourites at the end of the year that is for sure. ✨

What books have you loved reading this year? Are any books that made my list on yours? Let me know!
