New Adult Books That I’ve Been Loving

Feb 28, 2017

Over the past 2 years or so I’ve started to delve into New Adult. I’m turning 21 this year and I thought it was time to try and read a little bit older. However, I’ve only made it to NA. But, I love it. I find that when I just want to relax and take a step back these are the books that I pick up.

So I thought why not share some New Adult books that I’ve read recently and loved. And I am sorry that the list isn’t by a range of authors, but I’ve found some that I like and can’t stop reading them.

Him by Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy: This is the first m/m New Adult book that I’ve read…and I feel in love. I laughed, cried and totally feel in love with the characters. They just seem to pick you up and take you on a ride with them.

Us by Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy: The sequel to Him and just like it I feel in love. It follows the same couple through thick and thin. With their relationship being tested in so many ways.

Good boy by Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy: This one is a companion book to the Him duo and gosh did I love it as much. We see characters that we’ve already fallen in love with, but we also fall in love with more.

The Deal Series by Elle Kennedy: I recently re-read this series and I forgot how addicting they are. How caught up I get in the characters and how they interaction with one another. These books are fun, sexy and have boys that play ice hockey. I am totally in. Nevertheless, this is a 4 book series about best mates and their girls.

A Thousand Letters by Staci Hart: This book torn me apart. A Thousand Letters is a heartbreaking read and will leave you an emotional wreck. It’s about family, friends and second chances. It’s about forgiveness, letting go and falling in love | Full Review

And that is it for this post. Have you read any of the books on my list? Did you like them? Are you planning on reading them? Do you have any New Adult books that you think I might love? Let’s Chat!

Ten Books I Wouldn’t Mind Santa Leaving Under My Tree

Dec 20, 2016

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they post a new Top Ten list that members at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. Everyone join as you please. This week’s topic is: Ten Books I Wouldn’t Mind Santa Leaving Under My Tree.

I love Christmas, it’s probably one of my favourite time of year. My whole family comes to my house on Christmas Eve, we have dinner, hang out and then Santa comes and we open all our gifts It’s a thing we have done my whole life and as our family grew, it gets bigger and better.

And one of the things that I love seeing under the tree is, books. Over the years the amount of books I have gotten for Christmas has grown and I love it. This list is in no particular order and could go on for ages, but I need to keep it at 10. There is also a lot of contemporary on this list, which is strange for me. But over the last couple of years, I have been reading more and more contemporary and I want to read even more.

Summer of Sloane by Erin L. Schneider: It’s set in Hawaii, and after going there last year I feel in love. Plus this has been getting some great reviews. I think it would be the perfect summer read for here in Australia.

Spark Trilogy by Rachael Craw: I can’t believe that I haven’t read this series yet. I feel ashamed. It sounds like my type of read and all I hear is amazing things.

Girl Against the Universe by Paula Stokes: I have yet to read any Paula Stokes books, and I think this is the perfect one to start with. It’s sounds heartbreaking, but beautiful at the same time.

The Distance Between Us by Kasie West: I don’t know why I haven’t read this. Seriously I love Kasie West’s contemporary novels so damn much, but I just haven’t picked this one up.

P.S I Like You by Kasie West: Okay this is another Kasie West novel that I haven’t read. However, this one came out this year and I would love for it to be left under the tree by Santa. This book sounds adorable.

The Problem with Forever by Jennifer L. Armentrout: I haven’t read any of Jennifer’s contemporary novels yet, but I loved the Lux series, so I am pretty sure I am going to love this one. Plus it sounds amazing.

Firsts by Laurie Elizabeth Flynn: I have heard some really good things about First and sometimes I need a novel like this. One that goes against norms or ‘what is right.’ And I find that contemporary novels hit that spot.

Out of the Easy by Ruta Sepetys: This year I read Salt to the Sea and adored it. It’s one of my favourite books of the year. It was beautiful and heartbreaking and I feel in love. And now I want all her books.

Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry: Okay, yes I have a paperback and yes I have read all Katie McGarry books to date, however. I want this series in hardback. They are just so good. That I want them to be nice and matchy.

The Heroes of Olympus Box Set (Paperback) by Rick Riordan: Again I have read these, but I want them in the paperback box set. I have the first series in US paperbacks, however, now I want this one too.

And that is it for this week. What books do you want Santa to leave under your Christmas Tree? Do we share any of the same books? Have you read any books that I want this year? Nevertheless, Let’s Chat!

Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten Songs that remind me of books.

Feb 16, 2016

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they post a new Top Ten list that members at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. All bloggers are then welcomed to join. This week’s Top Ten Tuesday is a free topic but around the idea of books and music so I choice the topic; Top ten songs that remind me of books.

There are in particular order, and I have chosen these songs for different reasons. Sometimes it’s the song that reminds of the characters or of the book as whole and somethings it reflects how I felt during or after reading the book.

Maybe Someday by Griffin Peterson – Maybe Someday by Colleen Hoover: Okay maybe this is cheating but hey, it does remind me of the book. If you don’t know what I am talking about Colleen Hoover worked with Griffin Peterson to make an album with the songs from the book and it’s perfect. I adore the album and listen to it a lot. If you want to check out the songs you can here. Apart from Maybe Someday, I love I’m in Trouble, Living a Lie and A Little Bit More.

Shut Up and Dance by Walk the Moon – Cress by Marisa Meyer: This represents the relationships in Cress for me. I don’ t know why, but it just fits.

One Call Away by Charlie Puth – The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare: This song is kinda of new to me, but when I was thinking about it, it reminds me of the relationships in the Mortal Instruments and it’s perfect. Plus it’s such a nice song.

Stiches by Shawn Menders – Blood Promise by Richelle Mead. This song is this book to me. It reminds me so much of how I felt reading the book the first time and every other time after that.

It Will Rain by Bruno Mars- Lux Series by Jennifer L. Armentrout: This is perfect for the romance of this series. It’s beautiful and this song is one in the same.

Ordinary People by John Legend – Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry: This is for Noah and Echo, the push they pull, they fight and they love. Plus John Legend is amazing and this song is beautiful.

Breakeven by The Script – The Next Together by Laura James: This song reminds me of the whole book. How they always their way to each other and then lose each other just as quick. When they are together it’s beautiful and when they are not, it all breaks apart.

Bad Blood by Taylor Swift – Summer Skin by Kirsty Eagar: YES, YES and YES. I reminds me of Jess and all the girls against the Knights. Plus I had to put a Tay song into here.

And that is my list done for this week Top Ten Tuesday. I know it’s not 10, but I could not think of any more. What are some songs that remind you of books, do we have the same thoughts? If not what would you say for these books?
