WWW Wednesday – 20 Feb 2018
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…
OMG I seriously need to find out when the next Morrigan Crow book is coming out because Jessica Townsend is fast becoming one of my new fave Aussie authors.
- Wundersmith: The Calling of Morrigan Crow by Jessica Townsend (buddy read ?♀️)
This week I also watched all 26 episodes of Ouran High School Host Club and then I fell down the rabbit hole of Netflix and started binge watching The Umbrella Academy. If you weren’t aware, I’m a huge emo/punk/alternative music lover. I LOVED My Chemical Romance and when they broke up () Gerard Way went on to write comic books. One of his comic book series got turned into The Umbrella Academy, so I am so in love with this show right now. I think I’m 5 episodes in. So, this didn’t really leave me much time for reading!
Oh, and I HAVE BLUE HAIR AGAIN!!!!!!! You have no idea how happy this makes me. (I’m a Ravenclaw through and through.)
What I am currently reading…
- The Gilded Wolves by Roshani Chokshi
I am only about 20 pages in, and half of these I read last week so I’m kind of confused about what is happening. Also, Severin is a character in Holly Black’s The Modern Faerie Trilogy (Tithe, etc.) so this is not working in my head yet… My plan is to reread the first 20 pages and then get really stuck in.
What I think I’ll read next…
ARGH!! This is the same because I didn’t get through last week’s list! Plus the Discworld is back on the hot list…
- Pyramids – Terry Pratchett
- DEV1AT3 – Jay Kristoff (ARC)
- Coraline – Neil Gaiman
The worst part is, I really want to read DEV1AT3 because when I got the book, I was talking to Jay and he said that he thought this book was BETTER than LIFEL1K3, so I’m really keen (and, as you’ll see in my upcoming review, LIFEL1K3 was not a 5-star read for me – sorry Jay!).
Happy reading! ??

Coraline and some Discworld … Sounds like a great round of future reading to me!

I binged the first 4 eps of Umbrella Academy! then it kinda irritated me because NOBODY FREAKING TALKED TO EACH OTHER (oh, my long-lost brother just showed up, think I’m gonna ignore him and go about my life as normal, I guess??? oh, the apocalypse is coming, think I’ll make a token effort to tell ONE of my siblings and then give up and go it alone???) so I skimmed through the next 4 eps. and now I have 2 to go and I’m kinda eh.
speaking of eh, I wasn’t really into Lifel1k3 and DNF’d it halfway through, so I’m interested to read your thoughts!

It was a bit … bland? I dunno. Maybe I’m just not into robot sci-fi? I know I’m only kinda keen on dystopian novels, so ??♀️

I’m curious about the Umbrella Academy series, but having known about the comic book for years thanks to a friend who always recommended it I feel compelled to pick that up before I commit to a series. Good to hear you’re enjoying it, at any rate!

It’s definitely interesting!! I’d love to see how the comic book is different though.

My reading list hasn’t changed much either, because I am reading some beasts that are taking me longer than normal. I don’t know if Gilded Wolves is for me, but I sure do love the cover. Here is my WWW if interested: https://greatmorrisonmigration.wordpress.com/2019/02/20/www-wednesdays-february-20-2019/

I have the Gilded Wolves staring at me as I type this but I seriously need to get through other books first! I already let so many cut in line….Meh. I’ll probably let this one cut also. I’m being so rude to my books that have been just waiting on the shelf. I actually quit Netflix this month (still have Amazon and Hulu) because it was just too easy to binge!! I need to read instead. Good luck! https://silverbuttonbooks.com/2019/02/20/www-wednesday-february-20-2019/
Meeghan reads
We don’t get Amazon or Hulu in Australia… otherwise I would get them instead.

You’re not missing too much. Netflix is my go-to for binge watching and that is why I had to quit. Still, choices are key and I wish you had options! I bet you have other things I don’t even know I am missing.
Meeghan reads
We have Netflix and Stan… that’s about it. But I hear that the Veronica Mars reboot will be on Hulu so I’m really sad to be missing that!! ?
silverbuttonbooks
Veronica Mars is the BEST. I’ll let you know what I see! Have you read the books in the series? They are so good and take you right back to Neptune.
Meeghan reads
YES!! Rob Thomas needs to write more than just those two though!! They were so good!! x

I am still drooling at your exemplar of Dev1at3 Meeghan!

Kaleena @ Reader Voracious
The Gilded Wolves is a lovely book that I LOVED, but the worldbuilding is really rough at the start. You kind of get thrown into the deep end without context, and I struggled a bit. I hope you stick with it and enjoy it as much as I did, but know you aren’t alone!
Meeghan reads
That is excellent to hear!! Thanks Kaleena! x
