Book Covers That Feel Like Summer

Jul 12, 2022

This week I’m sharing the books that have covers that feel like summer. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl.

I love the feel of summer. Not so much summer itself, because it gets super hot here. I like the whole vibe of summer. And while it’s winter now here in Australia, and quite cold. I thought this would be a great topic to do, to make me feel a little warmer.

I’ve read all the books on this list and have loved most of them. The main thing is that they remind me of summer. From the colours, to what is on the cover and just the overall aesthetic. Let’s get right into it. As always these are in no order.

Alight (The Firecracker Cousins #1) by A.H. Cunningham – Review | In Deeper Waters by F.T. Lukens – Discussion. | With the Fire on High by Elizabeth Acevedo | Long Way Home (Thunder Road #3) by Katie McGarry.

Me + Somebody’s Son: A Heights Story by Christina C. Jones | The Governess Game (Girl Meets Duke #2) by Tessa Dare. | Girl Against the Universe by Paula Stokes – Review | On the Rocks (Becker Brothers #1) by Kandi Steiner.

For Vacation Only by Mila Nicks – Review | Xeni (Loose Ends #2) by Rebekah Weatherspoon.

And there we go. Those are the books that have covers that remind me of summer. From the colours to just the feel. And then everything in between. Have you read any of these books? What did you think of them? What covers made it onto your list? Let’s chat?

If You Liked This Popular TikTok Book Read This One… #2

Apr 17, 2022

I did this post like this a few weeks ago, and I had so much fun doing it that I wanted to do it again. So today I’m sharing some recommendations for books that are similar to popular tiktok books.

While I love Tiktok, it’s not always fun seeing the same books recommend over and over again. It’s nice to see books getting the love, but it’s also nice to see some new recommendations. Today I’m sharing some books that I think need a little more love, from young adult mysteries to fantasy and contemporary romances.

I want to mention quickly again, that everyone’s Tiktok ‘for you page’ is different for everyone. So while these may be more popular on my side, you might not see them as much. However, I’m also a bookseller these books are quite popular. Anyways let’s get into it!

I can’t believe the traction that We Were Liars is getting once again. It’s such a strange thing to see, but if you liked We Were Liars, I think you would really enjoy The Vanishing Game by Kate Kay Myers. It’s got that same vibe of family mystery, but The Vanishing Game also includes some surprise elements that are so cool.

I mean I adore the love that The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood and I think it deserves it. But it’s one that I see always popping up on my feed. Teach Me by Olivia Dade is a fantastic academic romance between two teachers that just hits. I read it recently and gosh I loved it way more than I thought I would. While the characters are older than in The Love Hypothesis, the romance still gives off that same feel. I think so many people would love this one.

I may be putting at string here but if you love From Blood and Ash (Blood and Ash #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout, then I think you would like A King so Cold (Royals #1) by Ella Fields. While I have seen some love for A King so Cold, I really wish that it got more. I thought it was fantastic. It’s a romance that is also full of political intrigue and a romance that will tear you apart.

While these two don’t follow plots that are similar. I think that the romance and feel of the books are the same. The Spanish Love Deception by Elena Armas is a book that I have been asked for non-stop for the last 6 months, and if you loved that I think you would love For Vacation Only by Mila Nicks. Plus For Vacation Only is set on a cruise ship, and the romance only last while on board! Yes, please.

And there we go. Did you enjoy this post? Would you like more of these? Have you read any of these popular Tiktok books? What did you think of them? Have you read any of my recommendations? Let’s Chat!

My Last Few Reads | March 2022

Mar 17, 2022

Today I thought I would do something a little different and share my last few reads. I’ve been in a little bit of a slump recently, so I haven’t read a whole lot. But I’ve read a lot of new to me authors and books and I wanted to share them with you.

Lilacs and Leather (Pack Saint Clair #1) by Thora Woods: This is probably one of my favourite latest reads. It’s also one of my favourite reads so far this year. I fell in love with this world and its characters right away and I could not put it down.

This one has been popping up on my TikTok feed for a while now and I finally caved and it picked it up. And while I am sad that it took me so long, I’m glad. Because it ended on a cliffhanger and I’m in desperate need of the second book. It comes out at the end of April so I still have a little while to go, but I’m so excited to read it.

If you like poly relationships, and omegaverses then pick this one up.

The Vegas Omegaverse 1-2 by Sarah Blue and Ashley Bennett: I have been very much into omegaverse books latest and this one popped up on Amazon while I was browsing. While I didn’t love it as much as I have other omegaverse books. I still had a good time reading it.

At times I felt the book forgot what was actually happening. I felt that her job just kind of went into the background of the book, while it was the main reason for a lot of what happened.

The romance in this was a little up and down for me. On the whole, I really enjoyed all of them and the pack. But there were parts that I wanted more of. Overall I had a good time reading this duo.

Creature Cafe #1-3 by Clio Evans: I don’t know what to say about this series of novellas that I have started. It popped up on my feed recently and it caught my eye. It’s monster romances with a little bit of a twist.

This series of novellas are very spicy and will not be for everyone. There isn’t too much plot, but a lot of sexy time. Each book follows a different couple/trio but the world centres around a cafe, where the owner finds you your life partner/s.

It’s such an interesting concept and I’m excited to more books from this series. While each book is standalone. Characters appear from other books and you might be spoiled of who they end up with.

And there we go. Those are some of my last few reads. I’ve definitely been on a paranormal kick lately and that makes me so happy. What have you read recently? How is your reading going this year? Let’s Chat!
