    Top Ten Tuesday

    Characters I’d Name a Pet After | TTT

    Characters I’d Name a Pet After | TTT

    Nov 17, 2020

    This week I’m sharing the characters that I would like to name a pet after. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

    I want to get a cat so bad. I’ve had two cats over the years, with a mix of birds and fish. And while getting a cat at the moment isn’t possible I hope that I can get one of my own soon. So today I thought I would share the characters that I would name a pet after. 

    Lucy from The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune: I mean how couldn’t I. I can’t with Lucy at all. Every time he opened his mouth, I just laugh. He tries to be this antichrist, but in reality, he is a little boy who just wants to be loved. I think it would be a perfect name for a little black cat. 

    Kit from The Dark Artifices by Cassandra Clare: I mean why not? Kit is one of my favourite characters of all time and I cannot wait for him to get this own series. I’m dying to know more about him and the life he is living at the moment. 

    Luc from Origin series by Jennifer L. Armentrout: Luc is a blast of a character and I think he also makes for the perfect name for any little kitten that I may get. 

    Annabeth from Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan: I mean I could name my pet after many of the characters in this series and be happy. But not only do I love the name Annabeth. But she is also the daughter of my favourite goddess and that just works for me so much. 

    Daisy from Wallflowers by Lisa Kleypas: Not only do I love Daisy so much, but I also adore the name. I can just imagine it now and It makes me want to have a little kitten so bad. 

    Jagger from Eyes Turned Skyward (Flight & Glory #2) by Rebecca Yarros: He just so happens to be one of my favourite characters from this series and I think it would make an adorable name for a little fluff ball. And in reality, I would name a pet after many of Yarros characters. 

    Riley from Branded by Fire (Psy-Changeling #6) by Nalini Singh: I mean I would name my pet after many of the characters in this series. without a doubt, but this is my most recent read and I adore Riley so much. 

    Lada Dragwlya from The Conqueror’s Saga by Kiersten White: If you don’t know already I adore this series. It’s one of my favourites and it’s one that I’m always recommending. And If I could name my pet after any fierce and strong female, it would be Lada for sure. 

     

    And those are some of the characters that I would name my pet after. Are any of these on your list? What characters would or have you named your pet after? Let’s Chat!

    Book Titles that Would Make Great Song Titles

    Book Titles that Would Make Great Song Titles

    Nov 10, 2020

    This week I’m sharing the book titles that I think would make great song titles. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

    This was such a fun thing to do. I love music, and then finding book titles that might make some great song titles was such a fascinating thing to do. Anyway, let’s get into it. Like always these are in no order. 

    Playing with Fire by L.J. Shen: This such sounds like it’s going to be an intense song, but it could also be a love ballad and I’m in for any of those. 

    The Year We Hid Away (The Ivy Years #2) by Sarina Bowen: Taylor Swift could write this song, and I’m all here for that. Seriously I’m always here for new Taylor Swift. 

    No Place to Run (KGI #2) by Maya Banks: This one sounds like it would be a great pop song, but it could also be a country song and that sounds pretty epic too. 

    Devil’s Daughter (The Ravenels #5) by Lisa Kleypas: In any genre of music this would be the perfect title for a song. It could go any way. 

    The Ones Who Got Away (The Ones Who Got Away #1) by Roni Loren: If this doesn’t sound like a great pop song then I don’t know what does. I can already hear it. 

    This is How We Change the Ending by Vikki Wakefield: This could totally be another Taylor Swift song, just saying. 

    Only Mostly Devastated by Sophie Gonzales: Another pop song title ready and waiting. Or it would be a country or maybe been RnB. It could be a lot of things. 

    Welcome to the Dark Side (The Fallen Men #2) by Giana Darling: This would be an epic song. It would be dark and dangerous and strong. And hell yeah. 

    Prince Charming (Royals #1) by Rachel Hawkins: If this isn’t a title for a pop song I don’t know what it. I think it would be perfect and it. I feel like it could be such a fantastic song too. 

    Only When It’s Us (Bergman Brothers #1) by Chloe Liese: This song could go either way. It could be a sad, solemn song. Or an upbeat, romantic song. Nevertheless, I can’t figure out which. 

    And that is it for this week’s Top Ten Tuesday! What are some book titles that you think would make great song titles? Do we share any that is the same? Let’s Chat! 

     

    Things I Like To Do Other Than Read

    Things I Like To Do Other Than Read

    Nov 3, 2020

    This week I’m sharing some of my Non-Bookish Hobbies. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

    I normally don’t talk too much about things other than books here, but with this week Top Ten Tuesday I thought it would be fun to share some of the things that I like doing other than reading. 

    Cross-stitch: I only started cross-stitching this year and it’s been a great way to relax and just do something with my hands. I also have a bad habit of buying more and more patterns before I’ve even finished one. Some of my favourite patterns have come from WhiteRavenPatterns

    Binge Watch TV Shows: One of my favourite things to do especially recently is binge watch tv shows. It’s the perfect way for me to wind down and relax for bed. Some of my recent favourites have been Criminal Minds, Hawaii 5-0 and right now I’m watching CSI: Miami. 

    Going to musicals: If you follow me on social or even here you know that I love Musicals. So this year has been a little bit of a downer on that part. I did have tickets to a number of musicals this year that obviously didn’t go ahead. Hopefully, everything is back running soon. However, some of my favourites that I’ve seen in the last year have been Hamilton when I was in NY and London and Come from Away here in Melbourne. 

    Going to the beach: One of my favourite things to do in the summer is head to the beach. I live in a pretty awesome state where a beach isn’t too far from me. I love sitting on the sand, swimming in the water and just chilling. I’ve been pretty much going to the beach since I can remember and it’s just seriously the best.

    Drawing: This has been something that I’ve been doing since I was much younger. I love to draw and while I’m not perfect at it, I can draw a little. It’s again something that I like to do as a distraction and just to let my creative side work. Lately, I’ve been using my Ipad and Apple pencil to draw which I love cause no mess! 

    Travelling: While this isn’t something that I can do now, I love to travel. I just going to new places and finding out new things. I did have a trip planned for Disney the September that just passed. But with our borders currently closed, I can’t go anywhere. Hopefully, soon they can open up and we can be on our way back.

    And that is it for this post. Those are some of the things that I love doing other than reading. What are some of your non-bookish hobbies? Let’s chat!

    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.
…

    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!
