WWW Wednesday – 20 January 2021
Hello book friends!! Welcome to this week’s WWW Wednesday – 20 January 2021!!
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?
Have I read the books I was planning to read? NO!! Have I read other books instead? YES!! Let’s find out which ones…
Honestly, I’m just super glad this series is over, and I can just tick it off. Book one was GREAT though. I really enjoyed it. But, the whole series got weird and dark… and the final book had this oddly incongruous happily ever after ending. I feel like I’m ranting about Darkdawn all over again, but I don’t like sappy endings with dark books. I just don’t. And that’s my opinion. ?
Harvest of Sighs by Sierra Simone is the third book in the Thornchapel series. The story is a mix between urban fantasy and dark romance, with a large chunk of kink thrown in.
Door of Bruises by Sierra Simone is the fourth and final book of the Thornchapel series. It’s also (surprise!!) a mix between urban fantasy and dark romance, with a large chunk of kink thrown in. To be fair to this series, I didn’t know it was urban fantasy when I started it. It looked like a smutty romance. It’s done reasonably well, it just wasn’t what I thought it would be.
I did tick off one book from last week, but I also formally added two more. Although, I haven’t read more than 2 chapters each of the second and third books. And I’m almost two-thirds of the way through the first one. However, I have a four-day weekend coming up, and I want to mark at least two of these off by Tuesday!!
- Kingdom of Sea and Stone by Mara Rutherford
- The World Between Blinks by Amie Kaufman and Ryan Graudin
- Conventionally Yours by Annabeth Albert
The reason that I want to tick off two of the above books off, is that A Vow So Bold and Deadly by Brigid Kemmerer comes out on Tuesday!! And I am going to pick up a copy on release day!! I don’t even regret my plan to skip my entire TBR to read this immediately!! I need to know what happens!!
Repeating from last week, I really need to start on either The Land of Stories books by Chris Colfer, OR The Iron Fey series by Julie Kagawa. I’m going to put a poll on Instagram later this month (I don’t know when… maybe after I finish AVSBAD?), so please vote and help me decide!!
What are you currently reading??

I donnt know if I’ll read one of Sierra Simone’s books one day. They get amazing reviews but ..is there a real story aside the kink? Because I need that! Lol
meeghan
The story is FAR more than the kink (which is actually very small). It’s urban fantasy with a mystical door, and pagan rituals. There’s also a mystery in the past, and 6 friends who grew apart coming back together. I gave the first book 5 stars, then 4 for the second, and the last two books were 3 stars each. I didn’t dislike them, they were still good. I just wasn’t expecting the way that it went.

Enjoy your reading, Meeghan!
I still have the first of Brigid Kemmerer’s books at home but I haven’t picked it up yet. I don’t know if I will get to it soon, even though I love a good Beauty and the Beast retelling. 🙂
meeghan
It’s one of my FAVE BatB retellings ever!! I just absolutely love it so much!! I hope you enjoy it when you do feel like it!! ?

I’m currently reading Boss of my Panties by Tessa Wood and buddy reading ACOWAR. Love the cover of the last book in your list but I have never heard of any of those books.
meeghan
Have you heard of A Lesson In Thorns? That’s the first book in the Thornchapel series. I used to see it around a fair bit, which is how I got into it. I didn’t realise it was a series when I started though.
The World Between Blinks is out in Feb, and it’s middle grade fantasy set in Australia.
Conventionally Yours is a queer contemporary about a road trip to a gaming convention.
What is Boss of my Panties about?!! ??
jamsu @ jamsudreams
It is about a girl who designs underwear. The hero’s sister is her boss and of course they get close and hero is very possessive about the heroine. They haven’t even kissed yet and he’s talking about babies ?
meeghan
Oh wow… Tell me when you finish it!! I want to know if you’d recommend it!! ?
jamsu @ jamsudreams
I like how drama free it was but disappointed the ‘mean girl’ didn’t get what she deserved
meeghan
Drama free?!! Sounds amazing!!
Sammie @ The Bookwyrm's Den
Oh man, I completely forgot that A Vow So Bold and Deadly comes out soon!!! I don’t know if I’m ready for it. I need to stalk reviews and see if I want to pick it up or not. xD I probably will anyway, because I can’t just abandon this story now, after everything lol. Will definitely be looking forward to seeing what you think about it!
Here’s my WWW post.
