The WWW Wednesday meme is 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
Ummm….
Well I said I’d have a lot going on this week so I’d either be reading tons or nothing and it seems I’ve ended up on the nothing side. I’m getting a lot of building work done in the house so have been staying at my parents off and on since Sunday (for some reason they expect me to speak to them and not spend all my time reading). Have also been having both horse and cat issues so yeah… been struggling to find the time or focus to read anything.
Recently Finished
I had a few days off work at the end of last week and the weather was a little too hot for me so did manage to get a couple of books finished before the house/animal chaos started.
First up was The Girl in Red by Christina Henry, a book I’d been looking forward to for ages and it totally lived up to all expectations. Inspired by red riding hood it’s a post apocalyptic story about a girl called Red who’s making her way across the country to get to her Grandma’s cabin in the woods. From the very first page I was hooked and I can’t remember the last time I flew through a book like this so quickly. It reminded me a little of The Walking Dead (albeit without the zombies) and Red is such a brilliant character.
I also took Deanna’s at A Novel Glimpse’s advice and picked up Max Munroe’s Banking the Billionaire, the second book in their Billionaire Bad Boys series. I really enjoyed this but I have to admit I still liked the first one better.
Reading Next
Building work looks like it’s going to continue until the middle of next week so not sure if or what I’ll be reading next but I did manage to get a couple of books from NetGalley (I know, so much for the ban) that I’m really excited about. Both Adam Silvera and Tess Gerritsen are favourite authors.
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.
I will apologise in advance if I’m slow in coming back. I don’t really have access to my laptop and don’t have wi-fi at my parents so am dependent on my phone’s data which isn’t always that great.
Happy Reading ❤
A Bookish Life 
So glad you enjoyed The Girl in Red. I think it will be the next audiobook I listen to!
I’m so curious about Adam Silvera’s new book. It’s interesting when authors break out of there normal genre.

It was so good. Been a while since I’ve devoured a book so quickly. I do love Henry’s writing.
I’m looking forward to Silvera’s book. I would probably read just about anything he writes though and he does tend to go down some interesting routes. I loved They Both Die at the End, such a brilliant concept.

It’s such a pain when we just want to read and people want to have a conversation. 😀 I feel for you!

I know right 😂 I suppose a little conversation is probably not too much to ask though considering my mum has been making dinner for me.

I’m glad you took my advice. 😊 so you’re a Kline girl. That’s okay. It saves Thatch for the rest of us. 😉
I hope your animals are doing better.

I think I just like the You’ve got mail vibe in the first one. With Banking it all fell into place a little too easily for me. I do love Thatch though.
Thanks, cat is causing me so much stress. He was throwing up half the night. Not much sleep has been had.

They are just money pits aren’t they. I’m so glad for insurance but it’s getting to the stage where he has more excluded than covered.
Thanks.

It sucks when life gets in the way of things, but it sure is good at doing that sometimes. You’ll be poring through books again in no time at all, I’m sure. 🙂 I hope you have a great week.

Me too. I seem to be spending all of my time dealing with crisis after crisis.
Very excited about Infinity Son, I’m putting it off at the moment as concentration is shot to hell but as soon as I get some proper time I’ll be diving right in
