A 4-Star Reading Month | March Wrap Up

A 4-Star Reading Month | March Wrap Up

Apr 4, 2024

It’s that time again, it’s time to share what I read this March. It was a strange reading month that is for sure. I didn’t read for at least the first week of the month. I didn’t have the energy to read really. But when I did start reading I just kept on going. So while it wasn’t an amazing reading month for me, I still managed to read 14 books.

I read a lot of new-to-me authors this month which was exciting.  As well as reading some books from authors that I have loved before. Pretty much all the books I read in March were also over 3.5 Stars, which was fantastic! I had so many 4.5-star reads as well.

Anyway enough chit-chat, let’s get into it. Here are the books that I read this March. And as always they are in no real order.

Behind the Net (Vancouver Storm, #1) by Stephanie Archer – 3.5 Stars. | The Omega Merger (Billionaires in Heat, #1) by Roxy Collins – 3 Stars. | Caution to the Wind (The Fallen Men, #7) by Giana Darling – 4.5 Stars. Reread. | Home Game (Vancouver Wolves Hockey, #2) by Odette Stone – 3.5 Stars.

Whispers of You (Lost & Found, #1) by Catherine Cowles – 4 Stars. | Echoes of You (The Lost & Found, #2) by Catherine Cowles – 4 Stars. | Glimmers of You (Lost & Found #3) by Catherine Cowles – 4.5 Stars. | Shadows of You (Lost & Found #4) by Catherine Cowles – 4.5 Stars.

Ashes of You (Lost & Found, #5) by Catherine Cowles – 4.5 Stars. | Tutoring the Player (Campus Wallflowers, #1) by Rebecca Jenshak – 3.5 Stars. | Hating the Player (Campus Wallflowers, #2) by Rebecca Jenshak – 3.5 Stars. | The Penalty Box (Vancouver Wolves Hockey, #3) by Odette Stone – 4 Stars.

The Longing of Lone Wolves (Fae Guardians, #1) by Lana Pecherczyk – 4 Stars. Reread. | Wild Love (Rose Hill, #1) by Elsie Silver – 4 Stars.

So there we go, as you can see I had a fantastic reading month. And while I didn’t read as many books as I wanted, the ones I read were very solid. Have you read any of the books on this list? What do you think of them? Are you planning on reading any books that I read in March? And what are your plans for April? So, let’s chat!

All the Books I Read in 2023 | Part 3

All the Books I Read in 2023 | Part 3

Mar 31, 2024

We are finally getting to the last part of this series! Ah. But as I said in my last post on this series. I had a few issues with my blog, but things are looking good now. I’m so excited to share with you all the books I read from September to December 2023.

One of the reasons I love doing these books is that it lets me look back at all the books I read over the year. I get to see what books I love, the books I may re-read. It even lets me work out the series I need to finish. I also get to see what types of books I read the year. And while I mostly did read romance in 2023, I like seeing the subgenres that really caught my eye.

This series will be done similarly to last year, with three posts. Each post will follow different months and will be as follows, January-April, May-August, September-December.

In 2023, I read 222 books. And while not my biggest year I’m happy with what I read. So, let’s get right into it. Here are all the books I read from September – December 2023. As always these are in no real order.

A Decent Start To The Year | January Wrap Up

A Decent Start To The Year | January Wrap Up

Feb 1, 2024

Well, it’s already been a pretty decent start to the year. I’m not going to lie, I was in a small slump at the start of the month. I just didn’t know what I wanted to read half the time. I would start something and then just not want to read much more. But I did a few re-reads and that slowly got me out of my slump. 

It was a mix of romance this month. From rockstar romances to some omegaverse and fantasy. Really shows how much of a mood reader I am that is for sure. Also, most of what I read was fantastic this month. I even had my first 5-star read! What? But I am super excited to keep on reading more this year. 

So let’s get into it, here are the 14 books I read in January. I would say that is a pretty decent start to the year. As always these are in no real order. 

Between Never and Forever by Brit Benson – 3.5 Stars. | Fate Hollow Academy: Term 3 (Fate Hollow Academy, #3) by Lyra Winters – 3.5 Stars. | Brix (A Rebels Havoc, #1) by Brooke O’Brien – 3 Stars. | Knot That Serious (Sweet Omegaverse, #9) by Lana Kole.

Lies & Lullabies (Hush Note, #1) by Sarina Bowen – 3.5 Stars. Reread | Rifts & Refrains (Hush Note, #2) by Devney Perry – 4 Stars. Reread. | Muses & Melodies (Hush Note, #3) by Rebecca Yarros – 4 Stars. Reread| Nobody’s Darlin’ (Dead Palms MC #1) by Sarah Blue – 4 Stars. 

Crescendo (Wild Heat, #1) by E.J. Lawson – 4 Stars. | Captivate (Knot Their Omega, #1) by E.J. Lawson – 4 Stars. | Hypnotize. (Knot Their Omega, #2) by E.J. Lawson – 4 Stars. | Selection (Knot Their Omega, #3) by E.J. Lawson – 4 Stars.

March was a better reading month than February for March was a better reading month than February for me, and while I’m still stuck in my heated rivalry fanfiction era I managed to scrap out of it a little this month. 

I reread four books from the sweet omegaverse series and honestly had the best time. I also read two of my most anticipated reads of the year and had a blast. Sadly I did also have my first dnf of the year.

What did you read this March? Any standouts? What are you looking forward to reading in April? 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?
