Books I Don’t Know If I Want To Read

Posted by angelreads Top Ten Tuesday 7 Comments

This week I’m sharing the books that I’m not sure if I should read. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl.

Sometimes there are books that I can’t decide if I want to read. It’s the books that leave me in two minds. The ones that have both good and bad reviews. So today I thought I should share some of the books that I need help deciding if I should read them. Some of these I may own, and some I’m thinking of getting. If you’ve read any of these help me out? Like always these are in no order.

The Kiss Quotient (The Kiss Quotient #1) by Helen Hoang | Beach Read by Emily Henry | The Hating Game by Sally Thorne |Beautiful Bastard (Beautiful Bastard #1) by Christina Lauren

Ninth House (Alex Stern #1) by Leigh Bardugo | Prisoner of Night and Fog (Prisoner of Night and Fog #1) by Anne Blankman | A Thousand Ships by Natalie Haynes | Don’t Call the Wolf by Aleksandra Ross

The Spare by Miranda Dubner | Into the Drowning Deep (Rolling in the Deep #1) by Mira Grant

And that is it for this weeks Top Ten Tuesday. Have you read any of these books? What did you think of them? Should I read them? What are some of the books that you don’t know if you want to read? Let’s chat!

It Could Have Gone Better | February Wrap Up

Posted by angelreads Monthly Wrap Up 1 Comment

I only read 12 books this February and for me, that is quite a small amount and it could have gone better. However, for nearly 2 weeks of this month I was recovering from an emergency operation so can’t really blame myself. The past few days I’ve been really getting back into reading so hopefully March is much better.

I did a lot of re-reads in February as well which really helped when I was falling into a little slump. But I mostly did just read romances as normal. Anyway like always these are in no order.

Trouble (Hell’s Heathens MC #1) by Raven Dark: I am always looking for new MC series but this was not it at all. The only reasons I finished it was because it was a small read | 1 Star.

Heart of Obsidian (Psy-Changeling #12) by Nalini Singh: I’ve been waiting for this one for some time now and I finally got around to reading it. It’s so good, there is nothing more that I really have to say. I didn’t know how I was going to feel going in, but I ended up loving it. | 4 Stars

Never Seduce a Scoundrel (School For Heiresses #1) by Sabrina Jeffries: This was Ely and mines buddy read for February and let me tell you I adored this book. It was a fantastic start to the series and I cannot wait to read more | 4.5 stars – Discussion

Secrets of a Summer Night (Wallflowers #1) by Lisa Kleypas: This was my first re-read for the month. After reading Sabrina Jeffries I needed another historical romance that I love, so I picked this one up and I loved it all over again | 4 Stars

It Happened One Autumn (Wallflowers #2) by Lisa Kleypas: I couldn’t stop at book one, so I re-read Secrets of A Summer Night and again loved it so much. The romance in this one is so good. If you haven’t picked up a Lisa Kleypas series, then just pick up this one | 4 Stars

Lethal (The Disciples #1) by Cassandra Robbins: I am really not having much luck with my MC romances. This is another one that I found that sounded interesting but just did not do it for me. So if anyone has any recommendations, please let me know. | 2 Stars

Screw (Hell’s Handlers MC #8) by Lilly Atlas: I needed to read an MC romance that I know that I love and this is one of them. It’s not the best out there. But the romance in this one is fantastic. And I had a great time being back in this world. | 3.5 Stars

A Touch of Darkness (Hades & Persephone #1) by Scarlett St. Clair: I’ve been seeing this book everywhere recently and I’ve been in the mood for some greek mythology and thought it was a perfect time. I ended up loving this one and I need to read the rest of the series now. This series won’t be for everyone, but I love it so far | 4 Stars

Fallen Angel #1-#3 by Ella Frank and Brooke Blaine: I re-read the first three books in this series, in February. I just wanted to read a romance that I know I was going to enjoy and this was the one.

And those are all the books that I read last month. Have you read any of these books? Are you planning to? What did you read last month? Let’s Chat!

Books I Want To Get To This Year

Posted by angelreads Discussions, TBR 1 Comment

Today I thought I would share the books that I hope that I can get to this year. These are either books that have been on my TBR a while or are coming out this year that I really want to read.

If you didn’t know I’m a full-time bookseller and I’ve worked in a bookstore for nearly 4 years now so I see a lot of books that I end up buying. Add to that the fact that I have been blogging for nearly 10 years and I have a big TBR. So today I’m sharing the books that I want to get to this year. Like always these are in no order.

Thicker Than Water by Brigid Kemmerer: I honestly have no idea why I haven’t read this one yet. I have no excuses. But I hope that I can get to it this year. It sounds exactly like a book that I will love. The romance sounds fantastic and I have heard some great things about it. It just sounds like my thing.

Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys: Salt of the Sea is one of my all-time favourite books and I have heard nothing but good things about Between Shades of Gray and I need to get on it. It’s my type of historical fiction and it just sounds brilliant.

Tone Deaf by Olivia Rivers: This has been on my list for years now, ever since it came out really. And I have no idea why I haven’t read it yet. It sounds like such a fascinating book plus it features disability and you know that is what I am always looking for.

Not If I See You First by Eric Lindstrom: This is another book that features a disability that has been on my TBR for some time. I’ve read another book from the author and really enjoyed it, so I have some high hopes for this one.

The Bromance Book Club (Bromance Book Club #1) by Lyssa Kay Adams: Let’s just say it’s not my fault that I haven’t read this one. I have waited nearly a year or this book to arrive and hopefully, it will come soon. Cause I want to read it so bad!

Chasing Lucky by Jenn Bennett: I’m hoping to get to this one in the next couple of months. I love Jenn Bennett and this one just sounds fantastic and exactly what I would love. But I haven’t picked it up yet for some reasons. Hopefully soon.

These Violent Delights (These Violent Delights #1) by Chloe Gong: I bought this late last year and still need to get on in. It’s Shakespeare retelling and I love those – I love any retellings really. I’ve heard so many good things about this and I want to get to it before the sequel comes out.

The One You Fight For (The Ones Who Got Away #3) by Roni Loren: I read the first two books in this series last year and really enjoyed reading them – a lot. And now I’m really excited to finish this series off. But also these are super emotional and I have to take breaks between the books.

Girl Out of Water by Laura Silverman: This has been on my TBR for a while and I can’t believe that I haven’t read it yet. I hope I can do it in the next couple of months.

Circe by Madeline Miller: I cannot give you an answer as to why I haven’t read this one. I got it as soon as it came out but just haven’t read it yet. But I feel like I’m going into a mythology kick so I might pick it up soon. Again I have heard such good things about this one.

From Blood and Ash (Blood and Ash #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout: I finally got my copy a few weeks ago so I can read it soon. I’ve been putting it off for a while cause everyone seems to love it. But I’ve also really enjoyed all the other books I’ve read from Jennifer so I should just get on it.

The Stray Prince (Royals #2) by Ella Fields: I totally didn’t realise that there was going to be a sequel to A King so Cold, but I grabbed this one as soon as it was out. I’ve been so nervous to read it though because it could go anywhere and I’m not ready for that.

And that is it. Those are some of the books that I want to read this year! Have you read any of these books? What did you think? Are you planning on reading them? Let’s Chat!
