WWW Wednesday #4: 11th of November 2020

Click to listen! Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Hello Hello! How are you?

Monday was the first day of online classes for me and I can only describe it with one word: LONG. Yesterday was also very long. Today is a bank holiday and I’ve still got a lot to do, but I hope I can get some reading and writing in.

WWW Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Sam over at Taking On A World of Words.

WWW Wednesday is based on 3 questions:

What are you currently reading?

What did you recently finish reading?

What do you think you’ll read next?

To Sleep in a Sea of Stars by Christopher Paolini

I just jumped back into this book on Sunday and I’m loving it again. I’ve only read about another 30 pages, its massive and very heavy so a bit tricky to prop up to read it comfortably, but I’m really intrigued so hopefully I can read another chunk of it this week.

The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. Harrow

Noly and I just picked this one back up again on Sunday as well, and I am so in love with this book. If we weren’t always so busy, I think we would finish it in a few hours. The writing style is beautiful, it’s so enchanting! We are about halfway through and I can’t wait to see where this one goes!

Shadows of Winterspell by Amy Wilson

We’ve just read the first section of this book for the Middle Grade Marvels book club and it’s another one of those really comforting, magical and unique middle grade reads! It’s on the shorter side and I was really glad we learned about a few things right off the bat, can’t wait to see what happens next! P.S. Peg is so cute.

The Dire King (#4 Jackaby) by William Ritter

Candyce and I started this book over the weekend and I don’t want it to end. This one has more macabre vibes in my opinion than the other three, you can tell it’s building up to something and I’m very intrigued to find out who the Dire King is. I don’t want this book series to end, I’ve been having so much fun reading it!

Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier

I also started this one over the weekend for the little book club that Hannah set up last month. I think everyone is enjoying this more than they expected, I’m still not decided. I knew it was going to be kind of different as it’s a classic, but it doesn’t feel so “classic-y” if you know what I mean. It’s interesting, but I just want to shake the main character at this point. I don’t think I’ll end up enjoying it that much, but I’m definitely going to continue it as I need to find out what happens.

One of Us Is Lying (#1) by Karen M. McManus

Stephen and I finished this book on Friday and I was literally either screaming or shouting through the last 100 pages. I never imagined that ending, this was such a clever book! We had so much fun reading it and I haven’t written a review yet because my thoughts are a mess, but I should have it up soon! We will be reading One of Us is Next towards the end of the month.

The Cousins by Karen M. McManus

And I was also able to finish the other Karen M. McManus book that I was reading, this time for the #UltimateBlogTour organised by Dave from @The_WriteReads! I can’t wait for the blog tour to post my review which I’ve nearly finished writing and to read what other bloggers thought. Very different to the previous book, but also very clever and I enjoyed it very much!

A Court of Thorns and Roses (#1 ACOTAR) by Sarah J. Maas

Noly and I decided to read this book for #NostalgicNovember for the Hype-A-Thon Readathon as it is one of our favourite book series! I read this a few years ago and a reread is long overdue, I can’t wait to dive back into this wonderful series!

.

Five Feet Apart by Rachael Lippincott

I had this on my list to start last week but I didn’t manage to get to it, unfortunately. This one has been glaring at me from my TBR cart, so I’m going to sit down with my notebook one day this week and try to read a big chunk of it. I have this thing with contemporary books where I usually read the whole thing in a few hours, so I might even finish it this week too. Either way, looking forward to it.

That’s all for now, I hope you enjoyed this post! See you soon, stay safe,
