A Slower But Fantastic Reading Month | July Wrap Up

Posted by angelreads Monthly Wrap Up No Comments

It’s time for July wrap-up time. I can’t believe that it’s already the end of July. We always say this, but this year has gone fast. July was a slower reading month for me, but I still managed to read a good selection of books.

June/July is normally when I go into my reading slump for the year and like always it happened. Luckily it didn’t last long, but I didn’t read as much as I planned to. But I’m still really happy with what I did read. I managed to finish a few series this month, read a good amount of 4-star reads and did have some duds but overall it was a fantastic month.

So let’s get into it. Here are the books that I read in July. From some new to me authors, to series, I have wanted to finish for a while. And like always these are in no order.

Reckless (Chestnut Springs. #4) by Elsie Silver – 4 Stars. | The Dare (Losers, #0.5) by Harley Laroux. – 3 Stars.| Sin by Seven Rue – 2 Stars. | Fate of a Royal (Lords of Rathe. #1) by Meagan Brandy and Amo Jones. – 4 Stars Review.

The Anti-Hero (The Goode Brothers) by Sara Cate – 4 Stars Review. | Wicked Heir (Chernov Bratva, #1) by Mila Kane. – 2 Stars. | Silver Or Lead. (Mafia For Hire #1) by Darcy Halifax – 4 Stars. | Be My Brayshaw (Brayshaw High #4) by Meagan Brandy. – 4 Stars.

Break Me (Brayshaw High #5) by Meagan Brandy – 3.5 Stars. | Wrecked (Dirty Air, #3) by Lauren Asher – 4 Stars. | Sabotage by Shantel Tessier – 3.5 Stars. | Redeemed (Dirty Air. #4) by Lauren Asher – 4 Stars.

Unforgettable (Cloverleigh Farms. #5) by Melanie Harlow – 3 Stars. | Ignite (Cloverleigh Farms, #6) by Melanie Harlow – 4 Stars. | The Ritual by Shantel Tessier – 4 Stars. | Waiting to Score (Pierson U, #1) by Elouise Tynan – 4 Stars.

And there we go! Those are all the books that I read this July. While it isn’t as much as I normally read, it was a fantastic selection. What did you read this July? Have you read anything that I did? What are you plans for August? So, let’s chat!

Backlist Titles I Like From Authors I Love

Posted by angelreads Top Ten Tuesday 8 Comments

This week I’m sharing some of the backlist titles I like from authors that I love. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl.

When I love an author, there is a very good chance I’ve read a good chunk of their backlist. So today I’m sharing some of the titles from authors that I adore. Some are authors that I have been reading for years, some are from authors that I have picked up recently.

A backlist title is a book that has been on the market for more than a year. And I love reading them. It gives me some great insight into the author, to see how their writing has changed and grown. And sometimes the backlist titles become my favourite from the author. Now let’s get into it. Here are some of the backlist titles that I really enjoyed from authors I love.

The Last Letter by Rebecca Yarros | Boys of Brayshaw High. (Brayshaw High #1) by Meagan Brandy. | Just Drop Out (Hannaford Prep, #1) by J. Bree. | The Vixen’s Lead (Kit Davenport #1) by Tate James.

Luna and the Lie by Mariana Zapata. | Delinquent (Academy of Misfits. #1) by Bea Paige. | Rookie Move. (Brooklyn Bruisers. #1) by Sarina Bowen. | The Birthday List. (Maysen Jar, #1) by Devney Perry.

Midnight Rescue (Killer Instincts, #1) by Elle Kennedy. | Slave to Sensation (Psy-Changeling, #1) by Nalini Singh.

And there we go! Those are just some of the backlist titles that I have enjoyed from authors that I love reading. Have you read any of these? What did you think of them? Are you planning on reading any of them? What books made it to your list? Let’s chat!

Ten of My Most Recent Lowest-Rated Reads

Posted by angelreads Top Ten Tuesday 5 Comments

This week I’m sharing ten of the most recent lowest-rated reads. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl.

I changed this week’s topic a little bit because I don’t DNF a lot of books. So instead I decided to share some of my most recent reads that I have given a low rating to. As I said I don’t DNF much. Most of the time I want to know what’s going to happen in the book, so it does mean I do give a few 1-2 stars. And that is what I am sharing today.

I do want to say this before I get into this post. These books just aren’t for me. I read a lot of books and sometimes they aren’t what I like. It might be the writing of the author, it might be the characters. It might just be the plot. But you may love the book, so if I don’t like sometimes, it doesn’t mean that you won’t. These are solely based on my reading.

So let’s get into it now. Here are some of my most recent lowest-rated reads. From dark romance to something a little light. Nevertheless, here are the books that weren’t really for me.

Bloody Lucky: A Thornbriar Academy Story by Cali Mann. – 1 Star | Wicked Heir (Chernov Bratva, #1) by Mila Kane. – 2 Stars. | Sin by Seven Rue – 2 Stars. | Burn Butterfly Burn (Masked Duet, #2) by Reese Rivers. – 2.5 Stars.

Lies like Rubies, Part One by Poppy Jacobson – 2 Stars. | Ember & Her Marshals (Pack Bonds, #2) by Rosemary A. Johns. – 2 Stars. | Steal Me (Haunted Roads #1) by India R. Adams. – 2 Stars. | Cal (Secrets and Lies, #1) by B.J. Alpha – 2 Stars.

Mine for Yours by Harloe Rae – 2 Stars. | Furore (The Night Skulls MC #1) by N.J. Adel – 1 Star.

And there we go! Those are some of my recent lowest-rated reads. Have you read any of these books? What did you think of them? What are some of your recent lowest-rated reads? So, let’s chat!
