4 Years of Angel Reads + Giveaways (INT)

February 4, 2016 Posted by angelreads Announcements, Discussions, Giveaways 14 Comments

4 years
I never thought 4 years ago that I would still be blogging. I just wanted to talk about the books that I read and love. It wasn’t even for the public, but for me and now I am about to go into my 5th year of book blogging.

I’ve come a long way since then. I changed from blogger to wordpress, got my own beautiful design, have gone to some incredible events that I would have never thought I would have gone too before. I have had some amazing and unbelievable opportunities that still blow my mind when I think about them today.

I finished high school, got into my dream course at university and hopefully going to begin another next year.balloons 

Blogging not only gave me so many opportunities to do with books but also gave me so many more friends. Some that I have met, some that I have not. Some that are readers, some are bloggers and some are even authors.

I cannot wait to see what the next years bring and I cannot wait to continue doing this.

I want to thank some people who have been with me from the start, have inspired me or is just a good friend that I know will be there for me.

    OMGG CONGRATS ON 4 YEARS!!! *throws confetti in your face* *eats celebratory cake on your behalf* I’ll be 5 years in May *gulps* So we’re basically pretty close in blogging age. EEEP. It is so so amazing to be blogging this long, I think, since don’t most blogs fizzle after 6 months or something? I think I heard that statistic somewhere. SO GO US! *parties* And congrats on all the amazingness you’ve achieved and here’s to many more years of awesome. ;D

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?

January was a really solid reading month. I read s January was a really solid reading month. I read some books that had been on my tbr for some time, reread a few things that peaked my interest. I also started a few new series. And just had a good time!
