WWW Wednesday — 8 May 2024
Hello friends!! Welcome to this week’s WWW Wednesday — 8 May 2024!!
WWW Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Sam @ Taking on a World of Words, where you answer the three following questions:
What did you recently finish?
What are you currently reading?
And, what do you think you’ll read next?
Let’s see what I have been reading… (All images will link to Goodreads if you click on them. Potentially.)
WWW Wednesday — 8 May 2024
I finished another three books this week… and all three from my May 2024 TBR. Look what happens when I apply myself!! Also, like, one of them I’d almost finished and the other two I absolutely smashed through. So that definitely helped. Also, this is an ARC (thanks Pan MacMillan Australia), a long term TBR book, and a 24 in 24 challenge book!! Winning all around!!

This took so long to get into, and was kind of predictable, but I thought the ending was worth the wait.

*screaming* I’ve had this on my kindle for YEARS and I have only just read it. WHYYYYYY did I wait so long?! (better than ACOTAR)
I am ticking books off this list!! And I’m making headway with books ON here still. That’s a win, even though I started (and finished) two other books that weren’t on this list this week. If I can get this list down to 3 by the end of this month, I’m taking that as a win. (I can’t remember the last time I was only reading one book at a time…)
OK, hear me out. I know I was just shouting about how great it was that I read three books from my May 2024 TBR. And also how I wanted to get my ‘currently reading’ list down to three books. Look what great progress I’ve made in the first week of the month!!
However… I also want to desperately devour the rest of the Bargainer series. Surprise?! So, umm, I’ll be starting A Strange Hymn as of tomorrow. LOL. I’m not even pretending to be joking about this.
I also need to kick another buddy reading book into gear, so once I have smashed through my latest Laura Thalassa series, I’ll either be starting The Bone Houses or Serpents of Sky and Flame. I find that the earlier I start a book club pick, the earlier I finish it. And (amazingly) the more I can contribute to the conversation. Because, you know, I actually finished it. Wild.
What are you currently reading?

I’m currently buddy rereading Unravel Me by Tahereh Mafi, rereading A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J. Maas and listening to Daughter of No Worlds by Carissa Broadbent
meeghan
Oooh, how do you like Carissa Broadbent? I have one of her books but haven’t started yet.
jamsu @ jamsudreams
I only gave Daughter of No Worlds two stars. It wasn’t for me but i think it could be someone else’s favorite book.

Interesting… Thank you!!

Reading 3 books and hitting 3 different piles of books sounds like a definite win to me. I’m glad that you enjoyed Strange the Dreamer but I do agree that it was a bit predictable

Strange was also just rally hard to get into. I didn’t like most of the characters until halfway through… It was just kind of weird. But I’m glad I read it.
