A Slow Reading Month | March Wrap Up

A Slow Reading Month | March Wrap Up

April 2, 2020 Posted by angelreads Monthly Wrap Up 2 Comments

March was my slowest reading month so far this year. There are a few reasons for that. Firstly with everything going on in the world my head has been all over the place and I’ve been finding it really hard to concentrate, but I think I’m finally out of that groove. Then there is life and health that have just interfered with everything as well.

I read mostly contemporary and romance books in March which I’m totally okay with. I always find that they are easier to read when my mind is all over the place. Like always these are in no order, here are the 8 books that I read in March. 

 

Burn Zone (Hotshots #1) by Annabeth Albert: I read some of Annabeth Albert’s books last year and whole they aren’t the best books out there. They are fun and addicting, so when I hear she was bringing a new series out about hotshot firefighters. I needed it. I’m excited to see where she takes this series. 

Chasing Cassandra (The Ravenels #6) by Lisa Kleypas: I’ve been waiting to read this one since I finished most of Lisa Kleypas’ books last year. And it didn’t disappoint. I adored Cassandra and the romance was just as addicting as her other books. Kleypas knows how to write romances that are beautiful and hits you right in the heart. If you haven’t had the chance to pick any historical romance books up, start with Lisa Kleypas.  

 

The Rich Boy by Kylie Scott: I’ve really enjoyed Kylie Scott books in the past and this one was no different. A fun read that delves a little deeper. I loved the play on cinderella here, as well as the play on ‘rags to riches.’ I adored both Alice and Beck and the romance was super adorable. You can check out my full review now as well. 

Ghosts of the Shadow Market by Cassandra Clare: This is one of the books that Ely picked for me for my ‘best friend chooses my tbr’. I had planned to read it anyway, I just seemed to never get around to it. But I love these stories so much. There were ones I was more interested in than others, but overall it was a great collection. 

 

Bringing Down the Duke (A League of Extraordinary Women #1) by Evie Dunmore: I had so much fun reading this book. I hadn’t read any books set around the suffrage movement so that caught me from the start. But this book was fantastic. The romance was so perfect and adorable and I loved it so hard. I cannot wait to read more in this series and from Evie Dunmore. I just saw the cover and synopsis for the second book and gimme! 

Only Mostly Devastated by Sophie Gonzales: This one crept up on me. It wasn’t really on my radar, but then I kept on hearing about it and needed it to pick it up. And I’m so glad that I did, it was fantastic. The romance had it’s up and downs but I still really loved reading it. Plus it’s a #LoveOzYA. 

 

Danger Zone (The Elite #1) by Brooke Blaine and Ella Frank: This is another pair of authors that I read last year and enjoyed while I read. So when I heard they were writing a series about fighter pilots – well. I really enjoyed military fiction after reading Rebecca Yarros’ books so I’m always looking for books similar to them. This new series my Blaine and Frank follows mainly Solo and Panther and they are just as intense as I want them to be. 

Need for Speed (The Elite #2) by Brooke Blaine and Ella Frank: After the cliffhanger of the first book I jumped straight into book 2 and bam! Blaine and Frank are able to write fantastic M/M romances and I love it. I cannot wait to see what happens in the next books especially with that ending! 

 

And that is for the books that I read in March! What are the books that you picked up? Do we share any that is the same? Let’s Chat!

    It was so difficult to read this month! You’re not alone in turning to some lighter romance reads to try and get through it. I’ve been losing myself in historical romance, some rereads of old favourites too.

    The only book I’ve read on your list is Bringing Down the Duke. Like you I was snagged by the cover and the synopsis and it was a fun read! I’m keen to see what happens in the sequel with Lucie.

April was a very good reading month for me, especi April was a very good reading month for me, especially after last month. I had some really fantastic reads in April. I did do a lot of re-reading this month but I had such blast. I re-read Caught Up and Play Along and the first 4 books in the Ironside Academy series. 📚

I read some books that I’ve been waiting for including the new book from Kels and Denise Stone, as well as the new Tessa Hale. ✨

Overall it was such a good month, lots of binge reading series and starting on some new authors. I’m so excited to see what May brings. 🖤

What was your favourite book that you read in April?

IT’S RACE WEEK! 🏎️ If you didn’t know al IT’S RACE WEEK! 🏎️

If you didn’t know already I love F1, have ever since I was younger and decided that this year it would be fun to combined my love for F1 and reading together. 📚

After a week off we are back at it. We are in Miami this week’s and things are only just heating up. This week I’m reading Falling Off the Cliff  Kanitha P.

…

Formula 1 legend in the making and rising star Thiago Valencia is chasing redemption as well as his second World Champion title. With a tarnished reputation and an undetermined future in F1 that hangs by a terribly loose thread, he can’t afford to lose his seat. Thiago is ready to do anything to redeem himself and erase his past mistakes. When a mysterious woman intrudes on his private party in Monte Carlo, he is certain the universe has brought his polar opposite into his life as salvation. He is sunshine, she is moonlight; he is a bright star and she is a moonbeam.

Destiny takes the wheel, steering Kamari into Thiago’s orbit, but her open disdain and closely guarded heart warn her to stay away. Enchanted by her charms, Thiago is intent on melting her freezing barriers and tearing down the walls shielding her heart.

When Kamari agrees to help him save his future by being his fake girlfriend, the unexpected happens, triggered by a game of lies, secrets and desire.

As they plunge towards the finish line, the race veers offtrack and neither of them are ready to fall off the cliff.
… 

How Race Week Reads Will Work 

On Monday of race week I’ll announce the book I’ll be reading for the week, then throughout the week I’ll be posting stories and my thoughts. And then on Sunday, race day my review and final thoughts will go up.

A little late but I am finally getting to share Ra A little late but I am finally getting to share Race 5’s Race Week Reads review. This week I read, Downforce (Pit Lane #1) by Hannah Lily.

🏎️ Review 🏎️

I had so much fun reading this book. I knew I was in for a ride as soon as I started Downforce. It was entertaining, fun, and I just had a good time reading it. And while it does explore some heavy topics, I don’t think it took away from the fun nature of the book.

Right from the start, we can see the tension between F1 Presenter, Olivia Fraser and F1 Driver, Jonah Scott. And while silly at times, it was fun seeing them interact together. Both really didn’t like each other. They both had said things about and to one another that sometimes it caused chaos. And I was here for it.

I did find that at times, just silly things happened. I am not a massive rom-com reader, and there was a lot of falling into one another, and arguments stemmed from nothing. This is honestly just because I don’t like these types of scenes, but it didn’t really make me dislike the book at all.

I loved the whole road trip aspect of the book, it’s different from other F1 books I’ve read so far this year and just made for some interesting banter and lust. I do wish that the road trip was a little longer than it was because I did feel like the romance moved pretty quickly here, but again, it didn’t really affect how much I was enjoying the book.

The romance was this combination of being slow burn and full of angst right at the start, to the road trip happening and then bam. But I loved it, though. The banter between Olivia and Jonah was fantastic. I loved seeing them grow not only with one another but with themselves as well.

Overall, I had a great time reading Downforce and will be continuing the series for sure when the other books come out. The romance was angsty and just felt right. The found family aspect really worked well here, and the F1 aspects were pretty okay. Not the best I’ve seen, but not the worst either. If you are looking for a fun read that has a great romance and a little rom-comy, then pick this one up.
I’ve already had a pretty amazing reading year. I’ve already had a pretty amazing reading year. There have been so many books that I have enjoyed but there are some that I have just loved. 🖤

I didn’t realise before I put this post together that all of these books are from authors I’ve read and loved before. There hasn’t been a Rebecca Yarros book that I haven’t rated under 4 Stars. Elsie Silver is just making me love everything that she writes. Wild and Wrangled may be my favourite in the series. 📖

Three rereads also made it to this list. Binding 13 still makes me gasp and smile all at the same time. And Caught Up and Play Along just hit every time. 📚

I’ve honestly had a great year so far and since making this post a few more books I’ve read I’ve ended up loving. It’s going to be hard to pick my favourites at the end of the year that is for sure. ✨

What books have you loved reading this year? Are any books that made my list on yours? Let me know!
