Book Tag: August Wrap Up

Every month i was planning on doing a monthly wrap up, and recap the books i read for the month, along with my top reads. My top reads for July were young Love by Alyson Santos, Four Day Fling by Emma Hart, Someone Else's Ocean by Kate Stewart, End Game by Emily Goodwin and my rereads of Broken by Ellie Messe and Crowned With Guilt by S.K. Rose
Seriously, I loved them all. (You can find my full recap Here).
In August I read a total of 10 books. 

The first book I read was the Room Mate by Kendall Ryan. I enjoyed this book. And although it wasn't my favorite and there was much to be desired it was still a great read. 3.5⭐ out of 5⭐. Review


Then I moved on to Wild by Nanna Malone and M Malone. This book was a quick read. I love best friends sibling books, it has that touch of forbiddeness, and sometimes even has that hint of fun or lightness to it. The dynamic to Talia and Cage was a little more rushed than I would have liked but still a great fun read. 3.5⭐ out of 5⭐ Review


Filthy Fight by Alta Hensley was next. I really enjoyed this story from Alta Hensley. It wasn't as dark as some of her other work, but was still a great read, taking place in the world of boxing. 4⭐ out of 5⭐. Review

Next I read Fallen Crest High by Tijan. At first I wasn't sure if I would like this book or not, but it was recommended time and time again, and I enjoyed similar books so I thought I would give it a go. It was filled with so much drama- family drama, friend drama, boyfriend drama, school drama- you name it, it was in here. I can't believe there is still 6+ books out after this one- I am itching to find out what happens next. It's like a soap opera, or car crash. You see what is happening before you, but you can't look away. It's crazy and the only thing you can do is hold on for the ride! 4⭐ out of 5⭐. I want more. More Mason, more Logan and more drama. Review

After I jumped into the Wrong Blaze by Meagan Brandy. Oh my God. Let me just say I LOVED this book. It sent me on a emotional rollercoaster and had me raging This book was amazing. Sooo let me just say. Read. This. Book. Seriously. grab it up - baraccade yourself in your room, no distractions and read. 5 scorching hot ⭐ out of 5⭐. Review

Then read Cocked and Loaded by Jordan Marie. It was definitely impulsive on reading just because of the cover alone! And the blurb pulled me in. Overall a good fun read, even if I hadn't realized it was part of a series beforehand. 4⭐ out of 5⭐. Review

Then I jumped into But First, Coffee by Sarah Darlington. Their romance moved quickly, and had hot and cold moments, when one or the other had insecurities come to light. But over all was a great work romance read. 4⭐ out of 5⭐. Review

Then I read Dirty Headlines by LJ Shen. This book was amazing. I love a good enemies to lovers romance and this book delievered- even offering up more with secrets, lies, and scandals waiting within the pages. I loved the dynamics between Celian and Judith. I loved their rivalry, and their story. 5 headline ⭐ out of 5⭐. Find out just how dirty a work romance can be. Review

Then I read Black Wings Beating by Alex London. I will admit it was a bit of a slow start for me. Once I got into it I really enjoyed it. Over all it was a great read. 4⭐ out of 5⭐. Review

Lastly I read Nightingale by Amy Lukavics. I liked the mystery and suspense of the book. And feel this is the perfect fall read, if you are looking for a mild thriller. It was a little strange, a little terrifying, and a little frustrating all in one and wasn't at all what I expected. If you like sci-fi, monsters, or stories set in the 1950s with bad medical practices and young women who want to break the mold of who they are suppose to be this may just be for you. 4⭐ out of 5⭐. Review

Weekly Newsletter: February 2

  Hope everyone has a good couple weeks. I know it says weekly Newsletter & I know I have been taking two weeks each time to put out one 😂😂 I *want* it to be every week, but January is just super crazy over here. - but we'll see once things settle down some if it will stay every other week or if I switch to every week or not 😂😂.  This week, I got my preorder of Onyx Storm in (bday present), and we did my daughter's 10th bday party- she did bowling & invited a ton of friends! She also had a field trip to go skiing earlier in the week too which she liked.  Also here are the vibes I bring to the function but truthfully I probably won't go to the function - I am an introvert & don't people very well 😂😂 but it was a fun challenge to do on IG & TT either way. Do we share anything in common?  What I Read This Week:  Title: Onyx Storm  Series: The Empyrean  Author: Rebecca Yarros Review | Goodreads | Purchase Quote: “I am yours and you ...

  So this past weekend my aunt passed away.  But on a more positive note, this was my daughter's last week of school. She had half days all week and now she is home for summer break until after Labor Day in September.  And I finished up two books. We started rewatching Dexter, and watching season two of Perfect Match.  What I Read This Week:  Title: Leather & Lark Series: The Ruinous Love trilogy Author: Brynne Weaver   Release Date: June 04 So I love these characters, but this story had a lot of fluff, and at the end felt a little rushed. 4⭐ out of 5⭐.  See Full Review Here .  Title: Lights Out  Author: Navessa Allen   Rereleases August 06, 2024  I thoroughly enjoyed the book. It was fun, and sexy and a great, quick read. 4.5 ⭐ out of 5⭐.  See Full Review Here What I Watched This Week:  What I Listened To This Week:  Weekly Meme:    Recent Releases  | Upcoming Releases  |  Freebies Title:...

Weekly Newsletter - June 13

  As my daughter's school year is winding down, they are trying to cram more things in it - from chorus concerts, to a play, to fun days, and field trips and parties... So it's been a bit hectic.  Also, last Thursday went to run errands before my daughter's chorus concert, & to grab Leather & Lark from Walmart (live in a small town. Walmart is the only place to buy books locally). And they were completely sold out 😭 So I ordered it online (Amazon "2 day shipping" still takes a week 😒). Plus I got a book last week - only UPS left it in a puddle. 😭 We were all home. Could have knocked or even honked or SOMETHING - but no. So also waiting on the replacement for that was well.  Also, I tried to convince my husband we needed to go to B&N in NYC (which is like 7 hours south of us give or take 😂😂) to meet Brynne Weaver to no success.  Annnddd... I tried the challenge of getting my husband to buy my wishlist for me for likes on social media... He wouldn...
