WWW Wednesday 9/21/22

     

Welcome to WWW Wednesday! This is a meme hosted by Sam of Taking on a World of Words. A fun midweek check-in where you answer three questions:

  • What are you currently reading? 
  • What did you recently finish reading? 
  • What do you think you'll read next?

I've started Back in a Spell by Lana Harper. It is her 3rd in the Thistle Grove series and I received it as an ARC from Edelweiss+. I have read the previous ones in the series and loved the world Harper created. 

This past week I finished:

  • Can't Spell Treason without Tea by Rebecca Thorne. I follow this author on tiktok and I ended up reading this in just a few days. It was so so good and I was so excited to see that there is a sequel in the works!
  • Shady Hollow by Juneau Black. This is a super cute cozy mystery featuring a cast of all woodland creatures. When this first came across my desk as a possible purchase it had mixed reviews and I was thrilled to see that it lived up to the positive hype it had. 

I am working off an autumnal TBR list and am thinking of reading The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman. It's been on my TBR list for some time now. You can take a peek at that Autumn TBR list here!

What have you been reading? Let me know in the comments below!

The Family Plot - Megan Collins

  4/5 ⭐ A family brought up learning about everything through the lens of true crime. Murder, mayhem, and death are the Lighthouse family's close companions. I was looking forward to this book since reading the summary. I have a mild interest in true crime and was interested in seeing how this story would incorporate such a widely talked about topic. For some, true crime is overdone and saturates media. And if anything, I think Collins does a fantastic job of acknowledging that fact and takes on true crime in a new and unique fashion. We are immediately introduced to the main setting, Blackburn Island, home to a serial killer who was never caught and the home of the 4 Lighthouse children and their... peculiar parents. I thought that Collins did a good job with the characters introducing them one right after another without it feeling rushed or like we were missing something. If anything it felt as though we learned a lot about the family within just the first few chapters. Without ...

Up All Night - Laura Silverman

4/5 ⭐   Thirteen short stories exploring what happens at night. A perfect summer read for when you're not ready to go to sleep just yet. This anthology features a wide variety of stories all focusing on high schoolers/young adults and certain events or predicaments that they must deal with. Added with the I am not the most familiar with anthologies but I did enjoy the variety and that they were diverse in their characters and representations. I think a lot of teens would enjoy this one. I do think that some stories were better than others, but that is just my opinion. Overall, I really enjoyed this anthology. Thanks to Algonquin Young Readers & NetGalley for the early copy in exchange for an honest review.  6/22/21 *This review was previously posted on my Google Site.

Certain Dark Things - Silvia Moreno-Garcia

5/5 ⭐ A fresh take on the old classic, Silvia Moreno-Garcia manages to reimagine vampire lore into something completely unique. Take whatever previous notions you have of vampire stories and toss them out the window. She managed to introduce such an interesting take on vampires, ones that take on aspects from their cultures like Alt with ties to Aztec mythology and so on.  All of these subspecies of vampire builds on the richness of the world Moreno-Garcia created. Alt flees to Mexico City, a closed nation free from any vampire after her family is killed by a rival gang of Necro vampires(a deadly European subspecies of vampires). With only Cualli, her loyal and deadly dog, and a garbage boy named Domingo helping her, she has to flee both the Necros and human gangs who wish her dead.  Vampire gangs are definitely a new one for me. The characters come to life on the page within the excellent worldbuilding. You just get lost in the story, captivated until the very end.  The ...
