What I’m Currently Watching, Reading, Listening Too

Nov 7, 2020

Today I thought I would do something a little different and share what I’m currently watching, reading and listening too at the moment. Also what I’ve finished recently.

Currently Watching

I’m currently on seasons 4 of CSI: Miami. If you don’t know me, I adore my cop/crime shows. It’s one of the only tv series that I can get into and enjoy watching. During lockdown, I re-watch a few of my favourites and started CSI: Miami. I’m really enjoying it so far and can’t wait to watch it even more. It’s not my favourite crime show out there, but it is interesting and I’m hooked.

Reading

Just Finished: I just finishing reading Playing with Fire by L.J. Shen I’ve been hesitant to pick up an L.J. Shen book. But this one sounded like something I would enjoy. And I was right. This was a great read, I enjoyed the characters, the plot and the romance. I don’t know how many more books by Shen I will pick up, but I liked reading this one.

Currently: I’m just over halfway through Hostage to Pleasure by Nalini Singh. This is the fifth book in the Psy-Changeling series. It took me a little while to get into this one, but once I did I remembered why I love this series so much. There have been so many adorable moments throughout this book and they have put a smile on my face. I’m so excited to continue reading it.

Next Up: The next book that I’m planning to read is The Midnight Lie (The Midnight Lie #1) by Marie Rutkoski. I’m so excited to finally pick this one up. It’s been on my tbr for a while now and I can’t wait.

Listening

I’m finally listening to audiobooks again. I’ve been pretty good this year and I’ve listened to a good amount. But I went through a stage where I just wasn’t feeling it. But earlier this week I had to be at work early and this gave me the chance to listen to something. I started Shit, Actually: The Definitive, 100% Objective Guide to Modern Cinema by Lindy West. And it’s seriously fantastic. I’m not a massive non-fiction reader, but this is funny and interesting and keeps me hooked. I can’t wait to listen to more.

I also have a few credits that I need to use on audible. What are some audiobooks that you recommend?

And that is it for today’s post! What are you currently watching, reading and listening too? Have you checked out anything that I am? Let’s chat!

Birthday Wish List 2020

Nov 4, 2020

With my birthday only a few weeks away. I thought I would share some of the books on my birthday wishlist. These are the books that I hope to get for my birthday, or that I might buy for myself. There isn’t much that I want for my birthday except books really.

These are books that have been on my wishlist for a while and hope that I can get to reading soon. Anyway, enough of this here are the books that I hope to get this year.

Spoiler Alert (Spoiler Alert #1) by Olivia Dade: I have heard so many good things about this book and I can’t wait to read it. It sounds like it’s right up my alley. And even though I don’t read many contemporary romances without a subgenre, I’m really intrigued. There is also a plus-size female protagonist and yes, please!

Our Year of Maybe by Rachel Lynn Solomon: I don’t think I’m ready to read this one, but I’m preparing too. This has been on my tbr for a while. And I think I’m ready to take the plunge and read it. It also explores chronic illness and gosh I need more of that.

The Rakess (Society of Sirens #1) by Scarlett Peckham: I’m never going to say no to picking up more historical romances and this has been on my wish list for a while now. And this one sounds fantastic. I’ve heard some great things about it and I’m ready to dive in.

Legendborn (Legendborn #1) by Tracy Deonn: I’ve heard so many good things about this one and I’m so ready to read it. This sounds like the young adult fantasy that I will fall in love with. And then rave about to anyone and everyone. Also, that cover is to die for.

Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas: I have only heard good things about this one and I need more ghosts in my life. I hesitated to pick this one up first. I’ve been bit by ghost romances before and I’m not ready for that. I just need HEA in my life at the moment. I’m good with sad things happening in the book, but I need happy endings people.

Bridgertons #2 – #8 by Julia Quinn: I’m putting these on my list, but I’m pretty sure I’ll be getting these from my parents and siblings. I adored The Duke and I. And I knew right away that I was going to need the rest of the series. I can’t wait to read the other siblings fall in love.

The Widow of Rose House by Diana Biller: This has only been added to my TBR recently, but I’m so excited to read it. I’ve just heard so many incredible things about it and I can’t wait to start reading this one myself. It sounds different from other historical romances I’ve read. And that caught my eye.

The Camelot Betrayal (Camelot Rising #2) by Kiersten White: This one comes out a few days before my birthday and I can’t wait to read it. I really enjoyed The Guinevere Deception and I’m super excited to see what journey this story takes. I never know what to expect from Kiersten White.

The Fallen Men Series by Giana Darling: I read this series over the course of this year and I really like it – a lot. So I would love to have physical copies of this series for sure. But they are also so expensive to get them here to Australia.

And those are just some of the books that I would love for my birthday. Have you read any of these? What did you think of them? I’m not planning to do much for my birthday this year. Obviously but receiving a good bunch of books would be amazing.

I couldn’t stop myself this month. I bought a mix of books from work and from other bloggers that were selling. There is also got a mix of books this month from romance and paranormal to young adult and fantasy. There are books on this that I have already read, however, I wanted physical copies of it.

Crash into You (Loving on the Edge #1) by Roni Loren: I don’t know too much about this one, but it was on sale and it sounded like something that I might enjoy reading. I’ve read a few books from Roni Loren before and really enjoyed them a lot. So I’m hoping I feel the same.

The Princess Plan (A Royal Wedding #1) by Julia London: I’m always up for new historical romances and this one sounds interesting. I haven’t read too many that have a focus on the royal family and I’m excited.

Solo by Kwame Alexander with Mary Rand Hess: I bought Swing last month and when I saw that this one was on sale I hopped on it. I’m excited to pick these books ups soon that is for sure.

Get a Life, Chloe Brown (The Brown Sisters #1) by Talia Hibbert: I’ve been wanting to get this one for months and I finally picked it up from work. I’m hoping to get to this one in November sometime.

Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson: This is one I’ve been unsure about for a little while. And I finally took the plunge and picked a copy up. I was able to get the gorgeous hardcover for such a good price. I’m so excited about it even more now.

Not If I See You First by Eric Lindstrom: This has been on my tbr for years now and when I saw that it was up for sale I got it. I’m always looking for new books that feature disability. And this one caught my eye right away. I’ve also heard some good things about it. I’ve read another book by Eric Lindstrom and enjoyed it, so I am looking forward to this.

A Scot in the Dark (Scandal & Scoundrel #2) by Sarah MacLean: I’ve been loving Sarah MacLean and I couldn’t help myself to pick up another one of her books. I’m always excited about a new to be series by an author that I love.

Kulti by Mariana Zapata: A friend had a whole heap of Mariana Zapata’s books for sale and I’ve been really enjoying them. This is one of the ones that I haven’t read and I’m excited to pick it up.

Under Locke by Mariana Zapata: This is my favourite Mariana Zapata that I’ve read so far and I’m so happy that I know have a physical copy of it. You can check out my review now.

Racing the Sun by Karina Halle: I hadn’t really hard about this one before, but it sounds like something that I will really enjoy reading. I haven’t read anything from Karina Halle either, but I’ve heard some good things.

The Wall of Winnipeg and Me by Mariana Zapata: This is another one that I have read and excited that I now have a physical copy.

Rhythm, Chord & Malykhin by Mariana Zapata: I hadn’t heard about this one before, but now I’m intrigued by it and can’t wait to read it. This is also one of her smaller novels which I’m so excited about. Because damn she goes wild and writes massive romances.

And that it is for today’s post. Those are the books that I went wild with this October. Have you read anything on this list? Are you planning to? What did you get last month? Let’s chat!
