I hope you’re all doing well.<br /><br />Today's post is going to be my midpoint checkup for my reading challenges for 2023. We're going to see how I did according to my list from the beginning of the year. <br /><br /><b>1. Is the classic Goodreads challenge.</b> I wanted to hit 200 books before end of the year. I'm at 106 books at the moment I'm writing this post. I should be at 110 books finished by the time the post goes up. I am 14 books ahead of schedule so I'm doing good. I'm not too worried about hitting that goal considering that I did really good the first couple months of the year. Then I had a little bit of a reader slump and I think I'm back on track so I'm not too worried. I never really feel like I'm not going to achieve it and if I feel like I'm not going to I'll just adjust to a lower number. <br /><br /><b>2. Continue to read sequels / work on finishing off series I’ve started.</b> I don't think have pick up one book form a series this year. I'm on a standalone kick at the moment. <br /><br /><b>3. Expand My Horizons and read at least 5 fantasy books.</b> Check.<br /><br /><b>4. Read 3 non-fiction books this year.</b> Yea, that's gonna be a no from me dawg.<br /><br /><b>5. Re-read 5 books.</b> She Shoots, She Scores.<br /><br /><br />Did you have any goals this year? Leave a comment, I’d love to chat!<br /><br />xoxo,<br /><br />ShonTangled N Bookshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11771892399500690806noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474736765155355039.post-69752021198301411922023-06-19T11:24:00.000-07:002023-06-19T11:24:06.544-07:00Mid Year Book Freak Out Tag 20231.Best book you’ve read so far in 2023<br /><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/122991713-the-reaper" target="_blank">The Reaper</a> by Garry Michael<div><br /><div>2.

It has most (if not all) of the tropes you’d find in a MF romance novels and layered with tension and angst that can only be found in a same-sex relationship.<br /><br />These stories engaging and compelling stories will have you invested in seeing these characters fight their demons and find their happily ever after together. <br /><br />If you have yet to experience the amazingness that is MM romance novels, I would suggest you start now. I highly recommend every single book on this list. <br /><br /><br /><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><b>Studious (IOU #2) by Leslie McAdam</b> This was fun! A cute take on the nerd/playboy trope. Things I like: virgin MC, playboy MC & office romance.</li><li><b>Hostile by Nicole Dykes</b> Opposites attract. I loved this.</li><li><b>Never Trust a Guy With Fangs (Covens of Eaton Falls #1) by Mia Monroe</b> This was a lot to take in. This was so out of my comfort zone. You name it and this book had it. I take that back the only thing missing where werewolves or shapeshifters.</li><li><b>Break Me Daddy (Mafia Daddies #1) by Skyler Snow</b> I'm not big fun of DDlb books. But I really enjoyed this one.</li><li><b>About Last Knight (Knoxton Knights #1) by Michaela Cole</b> I really enjoyed this book! I usually stay away from high school books, and I was so pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it! </li><li><b>Necessary Evils Series by Onley James</b> This series is now my latest obsession.</li><li><b>Nice Catching You (Bethesda Barracudas Hockey #1) by Ryan Taylor and Joshua Harwood</b> I really enjoyed this one. It was very different from other sports romance that I had read.</li><li><b>Frat Wars: King of Thieves (Frat Wars #1) by Saxon James</b> This was a really cute. It's very low-angst.</li><li><b>Bruised But Not Broken (Spark of Hope #1) by Nicole Dykes</b> This was a super sweet, bi-awakening.</li><li><b>One Step From The Dark by S.L. Dieruf A Kindle</b> Vella series that has completed about a closeted cop and a closeted mob boss.</li><li><b>Fight Me Daddy (Mafia Daddies #2) by Skyler Snow</b> A fun and smutty read. I really enjoyed it.</li><li><b>Off the Field Duet Series by Kimberly Knight and Rachel Lyn Adams</b> Love this story</li><li><b>P.S. I Loathe You by Isla Olsen</b> Loved, loved, loved this one!</li><li><b>Dysfunctional by Isabel Lucero</b> I might have read this 2 time this year. Two serial killers who fall for one another what more can you ask for.</li><li><b>The Dragon King's Assassin (The Dragons of Serai #1) by Amy Sumida</b> I really enjoyed this story.</li><li><b>Chasing Shadows (Daemons of San DeLain #1) by M.A. Church</b> A great start to a new series!</li><li><b>How I Stole the Princess's White Knight and Turned Him to Villainy by A.J. Sherwood</b> I've thoroughly enjoyed everything I've read by AJ Sherwood, and this was no exception.</li><li><b>Cracks in the Ice (Mohegan U Hockey #1) by Ryan Taylor and Joshua Harwood</b> This was a super sweet, bi-awakening.</li><li><b>Changing His Tune (The Road to Rocktoberfest 2022) by Blake Allwood</b> This was just so cute. </li><li><b>Learning Curve (Franklin U #6) by N.R. Walker</b> My favorite as of today, from this series. Mainly because this is the only book in the series that I did not DNF.</li><li><b>Kismet by Ashley James</b> I've thoroughly enjoyed everything I've read by Ashley James, and this was no exception.</li><li><b>Football Royalty (Franklin U #8) by Eden Finley</b> At this post I will read anything by Eden Finley.</li><li><b>Holiday Fling by Crystal Lacy</b> A really super cute, sexy, and fun holiday read.</li></ul><div><br /></div><div>xoxo,</div><div>Shon</div>Tangled N Bookshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11771892399500690806noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474736765155355039.post-72114021198276094232022-06-20T06:00:00.000-07:002022-06-20T06:00:00.209-07:00Mid Year Book Freak Out 2022<div>1.

I have 10 series that I'm planning on starting this year, not that I plan on finishing all of these series some of them are quite long but I definitely wanted to at least start all of these. I have two rules in place when picking out these series. One it has to be a series that's already complete that I can actually complete it if I want to. Second is it has to have more then three books in the series. No Duologies.

He is high priest and emperor, a man whose power, wit, and charm are all that preserves a tenuous peace. But Prisms never last, and Guile knows exactly how long he has left to live: Five years to achieve five impossible goals.<br /><br />But when Guile discovers he has a son, born in a far kingdom after the war that put him in power, he must decide how much he's willing to pay to protect a secret that could tear his world apart.</span><div><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">My Thoughts</span></h2><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">What I like about this book is the world, the magic system and the characters. Everything is just really well-thought-out and the character's for the most part are really layered. There was one character that I was not a fan of, Kip, I did not like his character. I would be fine if his character was kill off. But obviously he probably shouldn't because he is probably important. But other than that I pretty much liked every character that was put into the story they are really interesting.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">I love how so many characters are very morally gray. Our main hero of the story Gavin is very morally gray, he has done a lot of really horrible stuff and it's continuing to do horrible stuff in the present time in order to accomplish his goals. I think most people would like Gavin but you don't like everything he does. There's this conflict of I like you but there's so much that you do that I hate. I think that build some greatly interesting characters.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">I just think in general the plot isn't the biggest focus of the story at least not in book one but in every other element it's so well built. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">I'm just going to summarize I thought the book was excellent I didn't think everything was perfectly executed and because of that I'm giving it 4.5 stars instead of 5. I thought that it was such a great story with such great characters and so much potential for what's to come and the series. I enjoyed myself with this book from start to finish, I thought it was so great. I can't wait to continue on the book 2.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">xoxo,</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">Shon</span></div><div><br /></div>Tangled N Bookshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11771892399500690806noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474736765155355039.post-85722135941566722142022-02-28T06:00:00.026-08:002022-02-28T06:00:00.225-08:00Shon's Monthly Wrap-Up & Book Haul | February 2022<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Happy Monday Bookworms!

Caught in one feud too many, he’s on the verge of becoming a dead barbarian – leaving nothing behind him but bad songs, dead friends, and a lot of happy enemies.<br /><br />Nobleman Captain Jezal dan Luthar, dashing officer, and paragon of selfishness, has nothing more dangerous in mind than fleecing his friends at cards and dreaming of glory in the fencing circle. But war is brewing, and on the battlefields of the frozen North they fight by altogether bloodier rules.<br /><br />Inquisitor Glokta, cripple turned torturer, would like nothing better than to see Jezal come home in a box. But then Glokta hates everyone: cutting treason out of the Union one confession at a time leaves little room for friendship. His latest trail of corpses may lead him right to the rotten heart of government, if he can stay alive long enough to follow it.<br /><br />Enter the wizard, Bayaz. A bald old man with a terrible temper and a pathetic assistant, he could be the First of the Magi, he could be a spectacular fraud, but whatever he is, he's about to make the lives of Logen, Jezal, and Glotka a whole lot more difficult.<br /><br />Murderous conspiracies rise to the surface, old scores are ready to be settled, and the line between hero and villain is sharp enough to draw blood.</i><br /><br /><h2 style="text-align: center;">My Thoughts</h2><span style="font-size: medium;">This book one is extremely character focus and I very much feel that it is a set up for the rest of the series. I went into this books knowing very little. This is a spoiler free review, but as I continue on with series because I will be continuing on with the series I all my sequel reviews may contain spoilers.<br /><br />Like I said early this is a super character focused story, we get six characters point of view. There are three main characters I would say and then three characters that are very important supporting characters. In this book we spend time really getting to know these characters their back stories their motivation what makes them different. What I like about the characters, they are not your typical good guy facing off against the bad guy. They are morally gray characters. The characters were fantastic in this book this is something that author obviously put a lot of attention to and he did it really well. The characters are very believable I feel like I know them very well but I also feel like any of them could surprise me at any moment. </span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">All of the great the character work was fantastic but was there really much going on outside of the character. It was a fairly contained story. I don't necessarily think that's a fault to this book it's just something that made me think that the author really wanted book one to be about the characters and then he is gonna build onto the story in the remaining books. <br /><br />Let me go ahead and emphasize to you this book was really good. I loved this book and I'm so excited for the book two.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: medium;">xoxo,<br />Shon</span><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh4qGyXqdwVEafVabNZqk2j0-DmlO_3JAG7piuP6040vWZo-U1cHWi_g7qJvVw0Ta6Ykzo_EaV9bpxJ_eWi--mXi9IvO0EmUtSTBHxfLCHO-HQKPLkflJS-XH9XHx6XEFl1zkBZrxsmqOZFg0F4E36U6oZv62BukdKl8MCfNNZ-mcEpQLGfL-AV2gignQ=s952" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="154" data-original-width="952" height="65" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh4qGyXqdwVEafVabNZqk2j0-DmlO_3JAG7piuP6040vWZo-U1cHWi_g7qJvVw0Ta6Ykzo_EaV9bpxJ_eWi--mXi9IvO0EmUtSTBHxfLCHO-HQKPLkflJS-XH9XHx6XEFl1zkBZrxsmqOZFg0F4E36U6oZv62BukdKl8MCfNNZ-mcEpQLGfL-AV2gignQ=w400-h65" width="400" /></a></div><br /></div>Tangled N Bookshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11771892399500690806noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474736765155355039.post-81414815515297545022022-02-10T06:00:00.021-08:002022-02-10T06:00:00.256-08:00 The TBR Book Tag<span style="font-size: medium;">Hey guys!

I hope you’re all doing well.<br /><br />Ah, it’s that time of year again – to discuss my goals for the year. I think this will be a pretty short post because things are simple this time around since I’m trying to stick to mood reading for most of the year and my blogging will follow suit.<br /><br /><b>1. Goodreads Challenge</b> – 100 Books.<br /><br /><b>2. Continue to read sequels / work on finishing off series I’ve started.</b> This is a goal I set every year. Because I start so many new series each year it feels like this will always be a reoccurring goal.<br /><br /><b>3. No more monthly TBR’s.</b> I’m just going to read what I feel like reading.<br /><br /><b>4. Sparse Book Buying.</b> I have purchased a lot of books over the years that I have yet to read. This year, I will not be purchasing any physical books. I have no room left on my shelves for new books.<br /><br /><b>5. Book Unhaul.</b> There are some books that I'm definitely never going to read. <br /><br />Those are all of the reading goals I have made for myself to complete this year! I’m trying not to stress myself out over blogging and reading this year.<br /><br />Do you have any goals this year? Leave a comment, I’d love to chat!</span>Tangled N Bookshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11771892399500690806noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474736765155355039.post-35702057702447593182021-05-01T06:00:00.030-07:002021-05-01T06:00:00.274-07:00Shon's May 2021 TBR<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiTjTSAfBUAP2xuOkwaqOAZOy98xSrg8yLMdf1yVoiksPkBGv7Em4NgExqCY8rK__3H5en0XqpLaFu58ytTc1i7iTpmsOCPB-Bf6-mu0j5WiAOgY82E7xIfbhB0I0u58Kh-WV7Dd-BNJPh/s1500/20210301_160407_0000.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1500" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiTjTSAfBUAP2xuOkwaqOAZOy98xSrg8yLMdf1yVoiksPkBGv7Em4NgExqCY8rK__3H5en0XqpLaFu58ytTc1i7iTpmsOCPB-Bf6-mu0j5WiAOgY82E7xIfbhB0I0u58Kh-WV7Dd-BNJPh/w400-h400/20210301_160407_0000.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />Hello Bookworms!!

How was everyone's reading month? I had a great reading month in February, reading 12 books. I am hoping for another great month in March.

I hope you’re all doing well.<br /><br />Ah, it’s that time of year again – to discuss my goals for the year. I think this will be a pretty short post because things are simple this time around since I’m trying to stick to mood reading for most of the year and my blogging will follow suit.<br /><br /><b>Goodreads Challenge</b> – 115 Books.<br /><br /><b>Continue to read sequels / work on finishing off series I’ve started.</b> This is a goal of mine every year. Because I start so many new series each year it feels like this will always be a reoccurring goal. <br /><br /><b>No more monthly TBR’s.</b> I’m just going to read what I feel like reading.<br /><br /><b>Sparse Book Buying.</b> Last year, because of the craziness of 2020, I purchased a lot of books that I have yet to read. This year, I am going to be very selective about the books I will be purchasing for my physical collection. I have little room left on my shelves for new books, and want to fill the remaining space up with only books that I will be reading immediately and will most likely enjoy. <br /><br />Those are all of the reading goals I have made for myself to complete this year! I’m trying not to stress myself out over blogging and reading this year. <br /><br />Do you have any goals this year? Leave a comments, I’d love to chat!</span><br />Tangled N Bookshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11771892399500690806noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474736765155355039.post-37936106470112100712020-09-30T06:00:00.018-07:002020-09-30T06:00:08.689-07:00Can't-Wait Wednesday / Waiting on Wednesday #128<b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4K2Klz1on7al3wSIqKkGcqKwedNd9f7N4U9co0ZZaX6mGecn9GFVe-Eb3ala7FxDYoyRMuGi5HRuM0Oz6SGiyPY4VJzAffTx00sTOjhg2Qysye04DGMKzZ49mzQGlPPpSR8h0CJRzwTdl/s475/53320212._SY475_.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="475" data-original-width="317" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4K2Klz1on7al3wSIqKkGcqKwedNd9f7N4U9co0ZZaX6mGecn9GFVe-Eb3ala7FxDYoyRMuGi5HRuM0Oz6SGiyPY4VJzAffTx00sTOjhg2Qysye04DGMKzZ49mzQGlPPpSR8h0CJRzwTdl/w267-h400/53320212._SY475_.jpg" width="267" /></a></div><br />Title:</b> <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53320212-the-boyfriend-spree" target="_blank">The Boyfriend Spree</a> (Crimes of the Heart #3)<br /><b>Author:</b> Elle Keaton<br /><b>Expected Publication:</b> November 19th 2020<br /><b>Genres:</b> M M Romance<div><br /></div><div><div><b>Charley would never sleep with his ex again, right?</b></div><div><br /></div><div>And he certainly wouldn’t fall back in love with him.</div><div><br /></div><div>Charley is a committed fake boyfriend, helping out those who need a man by their side.
