Good morning bookworms!
Welcome to this week’s WWW Wednesday! What is this, you ask? Well, it’s a weekly meme hosted by Taking on a World of Words. All you have to do is answer the three following questions:
- What did you recently finish reading?
- What are you currently reading?
- What do you think you’ll read next?
So, without further ado, let’s get started!
What I recently finished reading…
A-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. You guys remember that “what I’ll read next” from last week? I didn’t read a single book on it. #classicmeeghan
I did however read some books! #winning! (#kindof)
- The Wicked King by Holly Black (👯♀️ buddy read)
- How (Not) To Kiss a Beast by Elizabeth A. Reeves
- How (Not) To Kiss a Ghost by Elizabeth A. Reeves
- How (Not) To Play With Magic by Elizabeth A. Reeves
What I am currently reading…
*Ah-hem* I may or may not still be reading (procrastinating) Pratchett… why is this taking me so long?!?! Also, I seem to have an unusually high number of books on the go, but just hear me out, ok, there are REASONS.
- Wyrd Sisters by Terry Pratchett – (80%) ok, yes, this is just laziness…
- The Summer of Jordi Perez by Amy Spalding – (20%) you see, I wanted something to break the edge off all the fantasy I’ve been reading lately
- Pyramids by Terry Pratchett – (10%) I started this so I could meet this month’s deadline
- A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer – (50%) this came in the mail yesterday from Bloomsbury Publishing, and I just had to start it immediately because it’s one of my most anticipated reads of the year and I didn’t think I was going to get an ARC of it, so I was SO EXCITED when it came. Also, I was right, it’s not an ARC, it’s actually a FINISHED COPY!!! (<— still excited!!)
What I think I’ll read next…
Wellllllll, I should probably finish the above first, but then I could try the below (again) to see if they’ll stick this time? Also adding in the Grishaverse books…
- Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
- Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare
- Surprise Me by Sophie Kinsella
- Autoboyography by Christina Lauren
- Bloodlines by Richelle Mead
Happy reading! 😊📚
I’m still waiting on my library hold of The Wicked King, so I’m super jealous of everyone who’s gotten to read it already! also looking forward to A Curse So Dark and Lonely, though I’ve seen some pretty mixed reviews, and Autoboyography. and a lot of other books? 📚 this is probably why I can’t plan more than 2-3 books ahead in my reading order 😅

A Curse So Dark and Lonely was AMAZING!!! I don’t even have words to describe it. Just tears and feels and general flailing like a fish on land.

I’ve been hearing SO much about The Wicked King & A Curse So Dark and Lonely that I’ve succumbed to peer pressure and added it to my TBR 😂. Can’t wait to read your review of ACSDAL, as it might possibly make me feel better about giving in 😂 💖

Oh my gawd!! Once you’re done with Cruel Prince (and if you liked it), I highly recommend going back and reading ALL of Holly Black’s fae stories as they all have crossover characters and it’s the same world. Let me know if you’re keen and I can guide you xx

I only read Vampire Academy for the first time last year, so this is all new to me! (I think the Sookie Stackhouse books may have ruined vampires for me for a while…) Also, thank you!! It’s so nice to know people like my site xx

Hey, I’m currently doing a read-through of Discworld too! I only got further along by two last year (Moving Pictures and Reaper Man), which I’m pretty disappointed with. I hope things pick back up for you!

I thought the shopaholic books started off well, but I just lost interest around the sister-stage. That was so weird.
