Books I LOVED with Fewer than 2,000 Ratings on Goodreads

Books I LOVED with Fewer than 2,000 Ratings on Goodreads

July 28, 2020 Posted by angelreads Features, Top Ten Tuesday 10 Comments

This week I’m sharing Books I LOVED with Fewer than 2,000 Ratings on Goodreads Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

This week’s Top Ten Tuesday is a freebie so I decided to pick an older topic and have a little fun with it. I love sharing books that not many people have read but I have loved. It’s a great way for people to read something that hasn’t caught their eye or they haven’t seen before. So today I’m sharing books that I have loved that have fewer than 2,000 ratings on Goodreads! From romance to young adult and more. Like always these are in no order. 

A Widow’s Guide to Scandal (The Sons of Neptune #1) by Hallie Alexander: I just finished this one a few days ago, and now I need more people to read it. The romance was adorable. I loved when the book was set. The characters were great. And it looks like it’s going to be a fantastic series. I can’t wait to read more. 

Dalliances & Devotion (The Truitts #2) by Felicia Grossman: While I didn’t love this one as much as book one, it is still a fantastic read. It was fun, intense and full of romance. With a female character that is strong and willing to do what it takes for herself. I loved Amaila and I got to like David as well. Together they were adorable. 

All the Little Bones (Circus Hearts #1) by Ellie Marney: You all know that I love Ellie Marney and this series is so much fun. It’s not for everyone, but I wish that more people would pick it up because it is fantastic.

This Beats Perfect (This Beats Perfect #1) by Rebecca Denton: I read this one a few years ago now, but I had so much fun reading it. I wasn’t expecting to love it as much as I did. It was fun, addicting and put a smile on my face. It explores the notions of finding yourself, loving what you do and finding those who will stand by you. 

Making Friends with Alice Dyson by Poppy Nwosu: I’ve talked about this one a few times on Angel Reads, and I will keep on talking about it. It’s a sweet story that looks at friendships, the most adorable romance, and the strength of opening up. Everything about this book is tender and sweet but also packs a punch. This is a fantastic debut that is brilliant and soft, and I finished it with a massive smile. It’s coming on in the US soon, so hopefully, more people will read it. 

This is How We Change the Ending by Vikki Wakefield: This is one of my favourites books this year and I wish more people would pick it up. This book made me feel so many things from anger to hope. From sadness to being proud. This poignant coming of age story that captures the lives of those that struggle day by day. That tries to make the best of what they have.

You’re Still the One (Country Blues #1) by Rachel Harris: I love reading Rachel Harris’ books and this is one of my favourites. The romance is adorable, the characters are fantastic and it’s a blast to read. It has all the Rachel Harris swoon-worthy moments and had me flipping page after page.

The Surprising Power of a Good Dumpling by Wai Chim: An empowering novel that explores family, mental health and trying to find your own feet. And while there is darkness in this novel and sometimes you feel like there is no hope. There is also warmth. It has one of the cutest romances every. Anna and Rory were absolutely adorable together. They made my heart scream it was so beautiful.
 
Marked (Sailor’s Grave #1) by Drew Elyse: All three books in this series have fewer than 2000 each and I think they deserve so much more. The romances are interesting and unique from one another. I really enjoy that this series is connected with her other series and characters pop in and out. I can’t wait to read more from Drew Elyse. 
 
And that is it for this week’s Top Ten Tuesday! What are some books that you love that have fewer than 2000 ratings on Goodreads? Do we share any that is the same? Let’s Chat!

    Most of the books I read have less than 2000 reviews on GR (I’m a huge fan of indie-published work) but I do love your list 😊

    I love posts like this because authors need more love when they aren’t reviewed as much.

Honestly I haven’t been a lot this year at all, es Honestly I haven’t been a lot this year at all, especially compared to what I normally read. Because you know life but I wanted to share some of my latest reads. 

I finished a series, I re read a book that I had an inch to read. I also picked up another YA! Who am I? Nothing really that stood out but knocked a few more off my tbr. 

What are some of your latest reads? Anything that has stood out for you? A 5 star? Let’s chat!

Yeah, this is what I wanted. I really enjoyed Vict Yeah, this is what I wanted. I really enjoyed Victoria Wilder’s Bourbon Boys series, and as soon as I heard she was writing a new series, around whiskey and women. Well, hell year. It took me a little bit to get into the book, but after a few chapters, I was hooked. 

Wyn is hiding, hiding from everyone, even when she is there. She is hiding behind so much, and damn, I don’t blame her. We don’t know everything from the start, but we start piecing things together, and my heart broke. And I was terrified for her. But she is a Crowne woman, and that means something. 

We’ve met Julian before, and while he intrigued me before, I am invested now. He is charming, secretive in the best way and will do anything at this point for Wyn. But he is also lost, and somehow he finds his way to Rumour and back into Wyn’s life. 

The romance is hot and steamy and everything that you want. The tension and chemistry in this one is high. Neither Wyn nor Julian wants to really give in or give up on one another, but a lot is standing in their way, honestly, mainly themselves. I just sat there giggling half the time because they are swoon-worthy. 

I would say this is the darkest Victoria Wilder book I’ve read, so double-check those trigger warnings before jumping in because there is a lot that happens. And I don’t think it’s going to die down any time soon because these Crowne women are badass, and I know things are only just getting started. 

Overall, Rumors & Whiskey is hot and sexual. The tension is dripping off the page, and then you are thrown into the terror and horrors of Rumour. You don’t know what is going to happen next, you don’t know who to trust, and there are so many more secrets that have yet to be revealed. I know I am ready for more. Are you?

Thank you to @atriabooksaus for an earc of Rumors & Whiskey 🥃. I’m in love.

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!
