[2013 Tea End Review] Tea Worthy Books of the Month! - July and August

Half way there!


July
2 again this month.


1. Paradise by Judith McNaught.

This was a good romance story of two people who met each other at an early age but because of their social class difference, were forced to separate (because of underhand methods mind you) and then find themselves in the future as rivals and with complete misunderstandings of what happened. It's an endearing story and I'm glad I found it and had the chance to read it in July.


2. Fighting Destiny by Amelia Hutchins.

This was a debut novel from an indie author and it's one of my favourite books of the year. The depth of the story and character development is astonishing. There's a large cult following behind this series and I'm definitely included in it. I've loved this book since it was first released. Paranormal + erotica = a recipe for a good book. Amelia Hutchins just has a way of drawing you into the story and keeping you hooked during the entire book, which isn't short, but I was completely enamoured by the characters, story line and I just had to finish reading it when I started. Since my first read, I've re-read Fighting Destiny many, many times and each one is as good as the previous.

[2013 Tea End Review] Tea Worthy Books of the Month! - May and June

May:
2 books this month. Both different genres.


1. Connected by Kim Karr.

This was an interesting story of self sacrifice. What am I saying. It was more of a elongated love triangle where the girl has to choose between her new rock star boyfriend or stay loyal to her child hood, somewhat deceased sweetheart. I think we all know which she would choose. It was the twist ending that left a lasting impact and made me reach for the sequel. And for that it deserves the title of Tea Worthy Book of the Month.



2. Feral Sins by Suzanne Wright.

I'm not sure why it took me so long to find this genres. I mean you think I would jump at the adult paranormal romances right away since I love the YA ones. Well it took me to May and I found a good one. Feral Sins had everything I love. A lot of arguments and romantic moments but a well written and developed plot that kept me hooked with the story. The captivating main characters also helped with that.



June:
This month's book turned a different angle.


Undeniable by Madeline Sheehan is much darker, in content, then other adult/erotica books.

You really have to overlook the characters and the topics and focus mainly on the storyline. It's a very interesting story that has a lot of connecting back stories and very strong characters that drew me to them and subsequently the book.

[2013 Tea End Review] Tea Worthy Books of the Month! - March and April

March:
One of the worst months to be reading due to the obscene workload that is thrown at University students right before exams. One book though stood out from everyone else and has become of the most recommended books by me (probably behind Divergent).

The Selection by Kiera Cass takes the title for this month.

I had my doubts reading this book. There was a lot of drama surrounding this debut online and whether or not the author and her publisher acted appropriately. That's what put me off but the combination of the gorgeous covers and the compelling blurb drew me in each time until I finally gave in a read it. Wow. The Selection blew me away. Kiera Cass has a way of subtly including signs of distress and dystopia woes into teenage angst and romance drama so that readers aren't overwhelmed by either and don't find themselves confused when one of the genres becomes dominant in the plot. Also the two main guys vying for the one girl is a dream story that always captivates readers.

April:
a.k.a exam month for me. But I made sure to get my dose of reading in everyday.

The winner for this month is the Elite by Kiera Cass.

The sequel to the Selection and equally if not more captivating than the first. The Elite has more of the dark secrets of the dystopia world and the romance gets better too.  Once again readers are left to choose sides between the two boys but also the prospect that perhaps America, the main character, won't be the winner of this competition and then what happens after that? I cried, laughed, screamed and just about did every dramatic action and emotion while reading this book. It made me really start to think about certain topics and truly evaluate what is happening. An excellent sophomore book that didn't fall to the deathly sophomore curse.

Fun Fact: the finale, and third book, of the series is due to be released May 6, 2014.  It's a vision in white...if you get my hint.

[2013 Tea End Review] Tea Worthy Books of the Month! - January and February

To start of the [2013 Tea End Review] segment, I'm posting my Tea Worthy Books of the Month for January and February. By the end of the month I'll post a complete list of them but for now, enjoy bits and pieces!

January:
January was the month that started reading off with a bang for me.  I had 3! 3 Tea Worthy Books of the month, each one of them leaving a different feeling in me.

1. Wallbanger by Alice Clayton.

I'm not sure how many times I've advertised this book or talked about how amazing it is. Wallbanger introduced me to Alice Clayton and I finished reading it having found a new favourite author. The book was funny and romantic, a hard combination to do with romance novels these days when the story line can get quite intense and dramatic. Wallbanger was an excellent way to start the new year of 2013 and a worthy book for the title of 'Tea Worthy Book of the Month'.

Fun Fact: Alice Clayton recently announced that Wallbanger is now a part of a series. When it was first released it was a stand alone but now it's the first installment of the Cocktail series. Book 2, "Rusty Nailed" is to be released June 24, 2014. Book 3. "Screwdrived" is being released September 2, 2014 (Happy Back to School Present!) and the last volume,  "Mai Tai'd Up" is scheduled for December 2014. Check her website for more updates!

2. Love Left Behind by S.H. Kolee.

Equally as good as the other two books but not as memorable. Love Left Behind was a sad story of what the world of Hollywood could do to a couple. It was short and sweet and had everything that made me a happy reader.

3. Beneath this Man by Jodi Ellen Malpas.

Probably one of my favourite adult/erotica stories. In my opinion one of the best and leagues ahead of the others. This Man set the story up and Beneath this Man came in a blew everything away. It had the romance, the drama, the intense moments, the sweet moments, the arguments, and two endearing characters that I thoroughly enjoyed reading over and over again. Beneath this Man has found a permanent place on my Kobo.

February:
The month of love. Also the month where none of the books really stood out to me. The closest book I could think of giving the title to would be Beauty from Pain by Georgia Cates. An excellent 2013 debut with an equally stunning cover and story. Perhaps after the amazingness of January, February just wasn't comparable.

[ TEA WORTHY BOOK OF THE MONTH - SEPTEMBER 2013] Taunting Destiny by Amelia Hutchins

Last month's "Tea Worthy Book of the Month" Title goes to...

Taunting Destiny by Amelia Hutchins!

 

I just posted the review (click the title above to go to it) on this so feel free to read that to get my opinion on this book. If this title and rating of 5 cups of tea is any indication, I clearly really really liked the book!

 

And a close second for Tea Worthy Book of the Month goes to Real by Katy Evans. 4.5-5 cups of tea.

 

Have a lovely week my lovely readers!
