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
So I’ve wandered a little off my reading plan this week and picked up The Devil Aspect by Craig Russell. I received this a few weeks ago from the publisher via NetGalley and started it on Monday. It’s a horror/mystery set in Czechoslovakia in the 1935s and has a real gothic feel to it. I’m only around a quarter of the way through but so far I’m really enjoying it (if you can enjoy a gory horror story set in an asylum – I can).
Recently Finished
Two books finished this week, the first of which was The Lost Man by Jane Harper. Harper is quickly becoming one of my favourite authors and I very much enjoyed this new standalone set in the Australian Outback. It’s a combination of family drama and mystery, with main character Nathan trying to figure out how his brother ended up dead in the middle of nowhere. It’s not a particularly fast paced plot but the author does a great job in setting the scene and there are some very intriguing characters. I found it very difficult to put down.
Second book finished was Hotshot Doc by R.S. Grey. I spied this was available on Kindle Unlimited and couldn’t really resist as I almost always enjoy Grey’s books. This is an enjoyable enough read but while I pretty much read the whole thing in one sitting I’m not sure it’ll be a particularly memorable one.
Reading Next
This has been on my reading next list for the last few weeks but hopefully this week I will finally pick up The Christmas Sisters by Sarah Morgan. I love Sarah Morgan books so I’m really looking forward to this one, I just haven’t been in a very Christmassy mood so far. I also want to knock another book off my NetGalley shelf so think I’ll probably pick up The Beauty of the Wolf (it fits a challenge). I also discovered CoHo’s latest Verity was available on Kindle Unlimited so I have that lurking on my kindle too. It sounds so good I doubt I’ll be able to resist for long.
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 ❤

I love the sound of your current read. So love a good gory horror and throw an asylum to boot!

The asylum is set in a sinister looking castle and there’s a Jack the Ripper style killer on the loose in Prague so it’s definitely got all the best horror stuff going on. I did however wake in the middle of the night last night cos I heard a noise and wasn’t sure I’d locked my door so maybe not the best bed time reading 🙂

It’s pretty great isn’t it. It was a little too detailed for me but a fantastic story.

I did the same thing with Hotshot Doc! That book was so much fun. I read it after Verity because I needed something lighter. I hope you enjoy Verity!

Devil Aspect was a great read. A little on the slow side and heavy on detail/psychology but still enjoyed it

I enjoyed The Dry, and have Force of Nature waiting for me, so The Lost Man will soon join my Kindle family.

Jane Harper is such a great writer, I hope you enjoy if you manage to get to them.
Started reading the Christmas Sisters on Monday and enjoying so far. More family drama than romance but still a nice easy read.

Finished Devil Aspect at the weekend and did enjoy it. Maybe a little heavy on detail and psychology for me but was a good story. Kind of a historical, Eastern European Silence of the Lambs.
Still hoping to pick up Verity soon-ish.
