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
After claiming to be reading it in last week’s post I have to confess I only got around to picking up Love And Other Words by Christina Lauren yesterday. Needless to say I’m only a couple of chapters in and not much has happened but I have a good feeling about it.
On audio I’ve been listening to Leah on the Offbeat by Becky Abertalli. This is a (sort of) sequel to Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda (I refuse to call it Love, Simon) and follows best friend Leah. It’s fairly early days but so far so good. It hasn’t really grabbed me yet and it’s not clear where it’s going but yeah, it’s okay.
Recently Finished
I have not had a very good week reading wise. Between sorting out the sale of my home, volunteering at Bloody Scotland and things getting very busy at work I’ve been really stressed and tired so finding it difficult to concentrate on anything. I did however have a day off on Monday and decided to make it a lazy day. I stayed in bed pretty much all morning just reading and finished No One Cancels Christmas by Zara Stoneley. I’d requested this from NetGalley as I really enjoyed her last book The Wedding Date and I’m always up for a Christmassy rom com (even in September). I can’t say I liked this one quite as much as The Wedding Date but it was a nice, easy read so was probably the right book for me. It’s a lot predictable and has many of the usual Christmas romance tropes but who cares.
Reading Next
I still feel like I’m struggling to focus on anything much at the moment so I’m probably going to be sticking with lighter reads for a bit. I will however be reading what I feel like though so who knows I may suddenly be in the mood for a horror or thriller. I am thinking one 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 Reading ❤
A Bookish Life 
I have a copy of A House of Ghosts as well and looking forward to reading it, although it won’t be for a while as I have a few other books on my reading schedule before that. I’m trying to read books by the author’s I’ll be seeing or who are appearing at Henley Literary Festival, which starts on Saturday.

Ooh, I didn’t know Henley literary festival was coming up. It is a bit far for me but it is tempting to just follow these festivals around the country. I hope you have fun.

Thanks, I’m excited to be attending. One of the events I’m going to is Diane Setterfield introducing her next book and the event is taking place aboard a boat sailing up the River Thames. And we get a proof copy of the book as well!

I didn’t love Simon as much as everyone else seemed to but omg I just watched the film 2 days ago and it is brilliant. I think the problem with Leah is Leah. She’s just not that likeable. It could be the narration that’s making it seem that way though.

I’m curious about Leah on the Offbeat…and The Christmas Sisters. Hope your week suits you and the stress goes away.

Thanks, it seems unlikely as I have just had my offer on a house accepted so looks like I’m moving on the 2nd November
Think I’m going to be reading less.
Leah’s been okay. Not sure why but I haven’t been enjoying as much as Abertalli’s other books

I’m reading Christina Lauren as well right now – although I keep getting distracted by other books. I fully understand busy life taking away from reading time. It sucks sometimes. I also enjoy reading Christmas books all year round, so no judgement here. I’m looking forward to hearing what you think of “Broken Things” when you get to it. I am going to try to read “Rooms” by her soon. Here is my WWW post: https://greatmorrisonmigration.wordpress.com/2018/09/26/www-wednesdays-september-26-2018/

I’m so jealous. I don’t think Abertalli (or Adam Silvera for that matter) have ever come over to the UK. It’s probably a really quick read, it’s just taking me a while cos I’m listening to it on audio.

I don’t read Christmas rom coms, but I see them around and sometimes wonder if I should. A lot of them just look really fun and cute and as if they’d get me in the Christmas spirit.

I’ll read pretty much any rom com but I do love a good Christmassy one to get me in the right mood (even if I’m reading it in September)
