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
Things are still busy at work (hopefully only another week or so to go) so I’m sticking with slightly lighter reads and currently reading Deep Down Dead by Steph Broadribb. I have tickets for the Orenda roadshow at the end of the month and thought I should probably try and read some of the books by the authors Orenda publish. It was only after I started reading this and got quite into the story that I realized Steph Broadribb wasn’t on the tour… oops. I am however absolutely loving this story of a single mom/bounty hunter so it’s all good. It’s been an age since I read this kind of story and I’d forgotten how much I enjoy them.
On audio I’ve had to put Before the Devil Breaks You by Libba Bray on hold for the moment as my library hold on Come Tumbling Down by Seanan McGuire came in so I had to bump it to the top of the list. I probably would have done this anyway as I absolutely love the Wayward Children series. It’s a really short book, around 4 hours, so I’m making great progress with it. Only around 1 hr 30 mins to go.
Recently Finished
I’ve managed to sneak in quite a bit of reading over the last week, the weather’s been bad, so I managed to finish three books. The first of these was a NetGalley ARC of Dark Waters by G.R. Halliday. This is the second in the DI Monica Kennedy series and I would say it’s better than the first. It’s just as dark and creepy, but a lot of the things that were irritating me in the first book seem to have been sorted out and it feels like we’re getting some real character development.
Second book finished this week was American Royals by Katharine McGee. I also received this from NetGalley but just never seemed to be in the mood to read it. I very much enjoyed her other series The Thousandth Floor, a futuristic sci fi teen drama, and this was a lot of fun too. While it’s an alternate history type story rather than a sci fi there are definitely a lot of similarities between the two series and it reads like an American soap opera with all of the clichés and relationship drama. If you don’t take it too seriously and accept it as it is it’s fantastic.
The final book finished this week was Jeaniene Frost’s latest Wicked Bite. Frost is my go to author when I’m in the mood for a paranormal romance and this book doesn’t disappoint. Not my absolute favourite of her books but it’s enjoyable and main character Ian is growing on me.
Reading Next
I know I had it on my reading next list last week and didn’t read it next but I’m keeping The Switch by Beth O’Leary close to the top of the pile for the moment. It’s one I’ve been really looking forward to so I don’t want to read it when I’m tired and stressed. I have a lot of books on my NetGalley shelf at the moment so I think I’m going to try and make a bit of progress with that. Yes No Maybe So and Wranglestone are both out this week so I should really be picking them up.
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 ❤
So many good books! I still need to get my hands on Come Tumbling Down. I’m glad you enjoyed American Royals, it’s on my TBR for the year and I’m hoping to buddy read it with some friends. Yes No Maybe So is also in my “read next” section.

Both The Switch and Yes No Maybe So keep catching my eye. I find myself more and more in the mood for cheerful covers lately (I blame the grey skies here!).

Tell me about it, it’s been torrential rain and gale force winds for weeks now.
Am very much in the mood for lighter reads just now so looking forward to both.

American Royals was a lot of fun, if you don’t mind teen relationship drama it’s a great read.

Thanks for visiting.

Library holds always seem to have a mind of their own. xD Mine, at least, come in at the most random times lol. Never the most opportune, though, I’ve noticed. I hope you’re enjoying Come Tumbling Down! It’s my new favorite of the series. :3 I’ve had my eye on Wranglestone. It looks really good. I’m looking forward to what you think of it. Happy reading!

I hope you will enjoy Come Tumbling Down and I’m reading Deep Down Dead soon as well! I actually read the sequel last year and I loved the MC enough to do a binge-read of the first three books this month in preparation for book four which comes out next month. 😉 I definitely can’t wait to read The Switch and Yes No Maybe So! I hope you will enjoy your books this week and happy reading. xx
