The WWW Wednesday meme is currently hosted by Sam @ Taking on a World of Words and is a great way to do a weekly update on what you’ve been reading and what you have planned.
To take part all you have to do is answer the following three questions:
- What are you currently reading?
- What did you recently finish reading?
- What do you think you’ll read next?
Currently Reading
I’m still working my way through Tower of Dawn by Sarah J Maas but making reasonable progress. I have a physical copy so I haven’t been carrying it with me when I go out which is limiting my reading time. As I’m writing this I’m about 500 pages in.
So far it’s been really good but not quite great. The story is told from the point of view of just three characters so it’s a much simpler story that the previous book in the Throne of Glass series. At the moment there are a couple of different storylines and I have to admit I’m finding one a lot more interesting than the other.
Recently Finished
Another slow reading week (I’ve been watching a lot of TV) so only one book finished, Why Not Me? by Mindy Kaling. I absolutely love the Mindy Project so when I spotted this on Overdrive I couldn’t resist giving it a try. It’s really a collection of essays on a variety of different topics including friendship, body image, an average Mindy day and meeting the President. There’s a lot to relate to and they are all told with a lot of humor. One story in particular had me laughing aloud on the train which resulted in some strange looks from my fellow passengers.
Reading Next
I’ve been going a little bit nuts on NetGalley (there are sooo many good books starting to pop up) and have been doing a lot of book shopping so my TBR pile is starting to get out of control again (if it ever was in control). I’m going to try and step up my reading a bit but given my current mood I think it’s probably going to be the easier books on my list I pick up. Probably one or more of the following.
Have you read any of the books on my list this week? Any others you’d recommend? As always please feel free to leave comments and links below.
Happy Wednesday Everyone!!!
A Bookish Life 
Going nuts on NetGalley…that’s something we can ALL identify with! Here’s my WWW link:

Someone has seriously got to keep me off of there. Although new UK site launches today so I’ll need to check it out 😉

Of course, it would be a crime not to….and to test it works properly!

Isn’t it brilliant when you get a book that makes you laugh out loud even if it is on public transport? 😉

Not sure brilliant is the word, maybe mortifying 😂 In the house it’s fine (the cat doesn’t care) but it really should come with a warning not to read in public.

I’ve had a pretty slow reading week too! Some great choices here though – Why Not Me looks like a funny read. Here’s my WWW post: https://snazzybooks.com/2017/10/25/www-wednesday-25-october-2017/

I’m blaming Tower of Dawn. It’s just sooo big. I did really enjoy Why Not Me. Very funny but also has some good advice.

I’m such a big Mindy Kaling fan and can’t believe that I still haven’t read any of her books yet. I think I might grab one from Audible next month though. Happy reading!

I think they’d be brilliant on audio. I was reading it but pretty much imagining it in her voice the whole time.

I’ve only read one other book by her and it was a paranormal romance so it’ll be fun to read a contemporary. I actually started it yesterday and am really enjoying.

I have been noticing the Joe Hill book around. I really need to read one of his! Strange Weather piques my curiosity.
Thanks for sharing, and here’s MY WWW POST

So far I’ve only read about a quarter of The Fireman but I was enjoying it so I do plan to finish at some point. I like the sound of this one because it’s 4 novellas rather than one long book.

I read Kaling’s first book and really enjoyed it but I haven’t picked up Why Not Me? yet. I’m glad you liked it so much. Her writing was really fun to read. Happy reading and thanks for participating in WWW Wednesday!

It’s not my usual type of read but it made a nice change and I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. I’ll need to read her first book at some point.
