A Little Better This Month | July Wrap Up

Posted by angelreads Monthly Wrap Up No Comments

After a slower June, I really hoped that my reading picked up in July – and it did just a little. The month started off really well, but then we went into another lockdown. And honestly, all I wanted to do was rest and not do anything. So I binge watch tv shows and just chilled.

In saying all this I did read, there was a mix of books this month like always, but it was mostly romance as most of this year has gone. I read some new-to-me authors and books in series I’ve been reading. Anyway, let’s get into it. These are the books that I read this July, as always these are in no order.

With You Forever (Bergman Brothers #4) by Chloe Liese: As soon as I received my e-arc of this I had to read it. And I was not disappointed, it’s simply fantastic. This is by far becoming to be one of my favourite romance series ever | 4.5 Stars

Emerald Lakes #1-#3 by Britt Andrews: This series kept on popping up on my TikTok so I just had to give it a go. I’ve been looking forward to some more paranormal/fantasy romances. While I didn’t love this as much as I thought I would, I still enjoyed it a lot. I haven’t read the fourth book yet as I’m waiting for the fifth one to come out before I finish it off. I’ve heard it finishes on a big cliffhanger and I’m not ready for that. Series so far 3.5 Stars

Ice Planet Barbarians #3.5-7 by Ruby Dixon: I read the first few books of this series last year before I took a little break from the world of blue aliens. But with it all over TikTok, I knew I needed to get on it. These are the best books out there, but they are so much fun to read.

Academy of Stardom #1-#4 by Bea Paige: This is another one that I have seen pop up all over my socials. I use to and still do love watching dance movies, so that appealed to me right away. It’s fun, addicting and I couldn’t put them down. While they aren’t the best-written books out there, I just had a blast reading them.

And there we go, those are the books that I read in July. I’m hoping that August is going to be a better reading both as well so hopefully no lockdowns. Let’s see. What did you read in July? Have you read any of these books

I Did a Little Damage | July Haul 2021

Posted by angelreads Book Hauls No Comments

I had another really good buying month in July. While I did do a little damage it wasn’t too bad. I do know that next month is going to be a little worse – but that is absolutely fine.

There is a range of different books this month, from some romance to lots more YA. Most of these are new releases though. There has been a lot that has come through at work – that I couldn’t help but buy. Anyway, let’s see what I bought this month and the little damage that I did do.

Blackout by Dhonielle Clayton, Tiffany D. Jackson, Nic Stone, Angie Thomas, Ashley Woodfolk and Nicola Yoon: This just sounded fantastic. I’ve read so many of these authors books that I couldn’t help but want to pick this one up. I’m hoping that. I can get started with it soon.

Henry Hamlet’s Heart by Rhiannon Wilde: This is one of those books that I picked up on a whim. I had seen it floating around, but I never checked out what it was about. Then it came into work. I read the back and I had it get it. This just sounds fantastic and exactly what I want to read.

Flash Fire (The Extraordinaries #2) by T.J. Klune: I read the first book in this series earlier in the year and really did enjoy it, so book 2 has been on my tbr for some time. I do have an e-arc of it but just haven’t got to it yet. And then this came into work just before we headed into this 5th lockdown. So I grabbed it in case we are going to be here for some time.

We Can’t Keep Meeting Like This by Rachel Lynn Solomon: This is another one that came past me at work and I couldn’t help myself and pick it up. It just sounds like so much fun – and I think I need that at the moment. I need some fun, ya contemporary that is for sure.

Last Night at the Telegraph Club by Malinda Lo: I have heard so many good things about this one, that I couldn’t help but grab it as well. It sounds fantastic, heartbreaking but also beautiful and I am ready for that. I haven’t read a lot of historical fiction set in the US and that alone caught my eye.

With You Forever (Bergman Brothers #4) by Chloe Liese: I received an e-arc of this at the start of the month, and I’ve already it. I loved it so much, I think it’s one of my favourites in the series. It’s has everything that I love in a romance and I can’t wait to read even more in this series.

And there we go. I just did a little damage this month, but I expect next month will be much, much worse. But have you read any of these books? What did you think of them? What did you get this month?
