So … This Didn’t Go Well | January 2022 Haul

Posted by angelreads Book Hauls No Comments

I’m going to start this post by saying that I didn’t buy all these books in January. They just happened to arrive then. I actually didn’t buy a whole lot so far this year, but I did receive quite a bit from last years purchases. 

I got a range of books so far this year. From romances to comics and graphics novels and a little bit in between. Some of the books I’ve already read and I’m just getting my physical copies of. And there are others that are new to me. But I am really excited to start reading some of these. 

Nevertheless, let’s get into it. I bought most of these books from, Work, Off The Books Pages and a few from Amazon this month. I also received some of these as arcs and gifts.  And as always these are in no order.

But it was a lot for the start of the year. Well, what books do you get this January? Have you read any of them? So, let’s chat!

A Good Start To The Year | January Wrap Up

Posted by angelreads Monthly Wrap Up No Comments

So the start of 2022 was a strange one. By the first week, I caught covid. Which wasn’t fun at all. I couldn’t do too much for a few days as I was so exhausted, but overall I was okay. My reading was actually pretty good this month.

While I wasn’t able to read too much while I had covid. I could barely hold my phone or book up. I did get to read a bit around. It was a mix of books this month. Not only the types of books. But my ratings for them as well. Here are the books that I read in January. And as always these are in no order. So, let’s get into it.

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?
