      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 liv...

     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 am just starting Shady Hollow by Juneau Black. It is a cozy mystery where all the characters are woodland creatures. I am very excited to start it! This past week I finished Over my Dead Body by Sweeney Boo. This is an amazing YA graphic novel featuring found family, witchcraft, and long kept secrets coming to light. I loved the artwork so much! Secretly Yours (ARC)  by Tessa Bailey. This ARC was very kindly sent to me by the publisher. This is a grumpy/sunshine romance that is for the masses.  Cackle  by Rachel Harrison. A speculative fiction that I read in one day I was so enthralled.  I am coming back after an over a month long reading slump so I am letting myself just read whatever I...

    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 am currently reading  The Science of Murder: The Forensics of Agatha Christie  by Carla Valentine. And I am about halfway through Another  by  Yukito Ayatsuji, a horror manga.  I have recently finished: For the Wolf  by Hannah Whitten. A fairly tale retelling that held promise but was disappointing.  Hungry Ghost  by Victoria Ying. A heart wrenching exploration of generational guilt and eating disorders.  I have a few ARCs that I am working through that I am hoping to finish before the month is up. As well as Winter's Orbit   by Everina Maxwell.  What have you been reading? Let me know in the comments below!

What did you recently finish reading?  What do you think you'll read next? I am currently reading The Night Circus  by Erin Morgenstern and The Science of Murder: The Forensics of Agatha Christie  by Carla Valentine.  I have recently finished: Lavender House (ARC) a LGBTQIA+ Knives Out-esque old school murder mystery that is a solid read. The Stranded (ARC) a YA dystopian/sci-fi that sounded promising but I didn't quite like it.  The House in the Pines (ARC) a thriller/horror-esque story that was creepy to read but had a sort of satisfying ending. Barbarian Lover (ARC)  (I just had to know what all the hype was about.) Not the biggest fan of romances but I read it and it wasn't so bad.  I am hoping to finish a couple of books that I have started but not finish...

  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 am currently reading For the Wolf by Hannah Whitten, it is a Red Riding Hood retelling and so far I am really enjoying it.  I am still working though ACE by Angela Chen. I have been taking my time with it so I don't unintentionally speed read it and miss something. It has been eye opening and educational in ways I hadn't anticipated it being.  I have recently finished a reread of Craven Manor by Darcy Coates. June was a very slow reading month for me. I fell into a bit of a reading slump that I just haven't quite pulled myself out of. (I am hoping to remedy this by a new book order I just placed.) I am hoping to start on To Sleep in a Sea of Stars by Christopher Paolini soon. I have been sitting on it for a whi...

  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? Currently I am reading,  Ace  by Angela Chen. A book that I have had for about a year and am rereading it and finishing it. I am annotating it and having a lot of fun so far.  Also I picked up To Sleep in a Sea of Stars  by Christopher Paolini at the library earlier, but haven't started it just yet.  I missed last weeks WWW Wednesday post so I am combining last weeks and this weeks. It been a bit of a slow time for me. I have been reading more fic and such online than traditionally printed material. Also I have been struggling to find something that actually interests me. I have been getting bored rather quickly.  Recently, I finished Gamer + Cat  Vol. 1. It's a super cute slice of life a...

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? Currently,  I am reading Hide  by Kiersten White, an adult hide and seek with a lot at stake.  Unlike normal I am just reading the one since I have been a little slow to find something that I am interested in.  Recently I finished Death and the Conjuror  by Tom Mead, this was an eARC I received from NetGalley. It is a locked room mystery and the 'amateur' sleuth is a semi retired magician which I thought was fun! A full review will come closer to the release date.  All Systems Red  by Martha Wells, this is a super fun, sci fi novella that had been recommended to me and I loved it. I ended up reading it in about 2-2.5 hours this past weekend and just about screamed when I finished it, I enjoyed i...

Welcome to my first 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? The Lighthouse Witches by C.J. Cooke. I have been sitting on this title for ages and finally said it was time to read it. I know it's a mystery/thriller type with the possibility of some fantasy elements so I am excited to see where that goes.  Also started Circe by Madeline Miller. I have actually had this since 2018 but am just now getting round to reading it. So far so good. I am a little worried I won't love it as much as all the hype it has had.  I love Greek Mythology and there has been a massive resurgence of myth retellings in the past few years and this is one that I am not the most familiar with so I am hoping that will be to my advantage.  Ghost Music by An Yu - This was an ARC I received through NetGalley....
