A Up-and-Down Reading Month | March Wrap Up

Posted by angelreads Monthly Wrap Up No Comments

March was a very up-and-down month for me. I went into a little reading slump and didn’t end up reading as much as I wanted to read. I ended up reading about 14 books, which is on the lower end for me. But I still read some fantastic books.

I read quite a few new authors this month in my preparation for signings that I’m going to this year. And I’m really excited because I discovered some that I already really enjoy and cannot wait to read even more. I also read books from some authors that I have been loving over the last year or so.

So let’s get into it. While the month was very up-and-down here are the books I read in March. And as always they are in no order.

Pitch (Saving Abbie #1) by Maggie Alabaster and Jo Bradley. – 3.5 Stars | Pound (Saving Abbie #2) by Maggie Alabaster and Jo Bradley. – 4 Stars. | Session (Saving Abbie #3) by Maggie Alabaster and Jo Bradley – 4 Stars. | Muse (Saving Abbie #4) by Maggie Alabaster and Jo Bradley. – 3.5 Stars.

Death Wish (Reaper Reborn, #1) by Harper A. Brooks – 4 Stars. | Property of the Mountain Man (Montana Mountain Men #1) by Gemma Weir. – 4 Stars. | Owned by the Mountain Man (Montana Mountain Men #2) by Gemma Weir. – 3.5 Stars. | Kept by the Mountain Man (Montana Mountain Men #3) by Gemma Weir. – 4 Stars.

Bound (Monsters & Artifacts, #2) by Trish Heinrich – 4 Stars. | Vampire’s Nest (Blood Vow, #1) by Helen Scott – 3.5 Stars. | Salvation: Wolves of Woodland Falls (Small Town Packs) by Cassie Laelyn – 4 Stars. | One Pucked Up Pack by Sarah Blue – 3.5 Stars.

Flawless (Chestnut Springs, #1) by Elsie Silver – 3.5 Stars. | Heartless (Chestnut Springs, #2) by Elsie Silver – 4 Stars Reread. | Powerless (Chestnut Springs, #3) by Elsie Silver – 4 Stars.

And there we go! That is what I read in a very up-and-down reading month. Have you read any of these? What did you think of them? What books did you read this month? Do you have any plans for April? Let’s chat!

Books for People Who Liked Author X

Posted by angelreads Top Ten Tuesday 4 Comments

This week I’m sharing books you might like if you like a particular author. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl.

I am not going to lie. I really struggled with the topic this week. But thanks to some guidance from Ely I twisted the topic just a little. So instead of picking one author for all 10 books. I’ve decided to pick a few different authors to highlight instead of the one. This topic is basically if you like this author, then you may like these books. So let’s get into it.

The authors I picked for this topic are; Elle Kennedy, Julia Quinn, Sarah J Mass and Ali Hazelwood.

If you like Elle Kennedy’s sports romances then you might like The Year We Fell Down (The Ivy Years, #1) by Sarina Bowen. and Getting Lucky Number Seven. (Taking Shots, #1) by Cindi Madsen.

If you like Julia Quinn and historical fiction then you might like reading the Wicked and the Wallflower. (The Bareknuckle Bastards, #1.) by Sarah MacLean and The Duchess Deal (Girl Meets Duke, #1) by Tessa Dare.

If you like Sarah J. Maas then you might enjoy reading Broken Bonds (The Bonds that Tie, #1) by J. Bree and The Longing of Lone Wolves (Fae Guardians, #1) by Lana Pecherczyk.

If you enjoy reading Ali Hazelwood then you might like Two Wrongs Make a Right (The Wilmot Sisters. #1) by Chloe Liese and Delilah Green Doesn’t Care (Bright Falls, #1) by Ashley Herring Blake.

And there we go. Those are the books that I would recommend if you like these authors. From contemporary romance to fantasy romance and more. I hope you pick up some of these. What authors and books made it to your list? Have you read any of the books on mine? Let’s chat!

‘I Should Have Read That’ Book Tag

Posted by angelreads Book Tag No Comments

It’s been a while since I have done a book tag so I thought that today would be a perfect time. The ‘I Should Have Read That’ Book Tag was created by Beth at Book Nest. This tag is all about the books that you should have read already. From books people have recommended to you. To books that have been on your tbr for a while.

I have so many books that I say that I should have read by now, or it’s on my tbr. And most of the time I do get to the books, but there are just so many books out here. And with so little time I don’t get to everything. So let’s get into it. Here is the “I Should Have Read That” book tag.

A book that a certain friend is always telling you to read?

I am sitting right next to Ely from Earl Grey Books as I write this post, so I asked her and it’s no surprise that she said Rhapsodic (The Bargainer, #1) by Laura Thalassa. There is no real reason why I haven’t read this one yet. I’ve read from Laura Thalassa before and adored what I did, so I am highly certain I am going to like this one a lot. I do want to get to it soon.

A book that’s been on your TBR forever and yet you still haven’t picked it up?

Oh gosh, there could be so many books that I could pick for this one. But Thicker Than Water Brigid Kemmerer has been on my tbr for so many years now and I haven’t read it yet. I don’t even know why. I have loved everything for Brigid Kemmerer that I have read. It’s even more up my alley now in regard to what I am reading. And it just sounds fantastic. I want to try and get to this one by the end of the year.

A book in a series you’ve started, but haven’t gotten around to finishing yet?

This is another one that I could have many answers for, but Waking Gods (Themis Files, #2) by Sylvain Neuvel is one that I have wanted to read for years and just have never gotten around to it. I really enjoyed the first book in the series and it’s one that I am always recommending to people for an audiobook. But I have just not had the chance to continue the series. I do hope to get to it in the future. I just don’t know when.

A classic you’ve always liked the sound of, but never actually read?

Ohh, I think it has to go to Paradise Lost by John Milton. I have always been fascinated by this one, but classics aren’t really my thing. And I honestly don’t read many. There might be a day when I just pick this one up.

A popular book that it seems everyone but you has read?

I don’t know if you will be surprised by this answer but it has to be It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover. I don’t want to read it and I won’t ever read it.

A book that inspired a film/TV adaptation that you really love, but you just haven’t read it yet?

I had to really think about this one. Because most of the time I’ve read a lot of the books for film/tv adaptations that I love. But I have yet to read The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien. I have tried but I think I tried when I was a little too young and I couldn’t get into it. I adore the Lord of the Rings and even the Hobbit movies, I can’t tell you how many times I have watched them. But the books always make me nervous.

A book you see all over Instagram but haven’t picked up yet?

Again there are so many books I could have picked for this one. But Midnight Kisses by Jeanine Bennedict is one that I have been wanting to read for a while and one that I have seen quite a bit on all social media really. I’m really excited to pick it up and hopefully, I can do that soon.

And there we go. That is the ‘I Should Have Read That’ Book Tag. I had a lot of fun putting this post together and I would love to see your answers. So if you would like to do this tag, go right ahead. What do you think of my answers? Which books should I read soon? Let’s chat!
