WWW Wednesday is a weekly meme revived and hosted by Sam at Taking on a World of Words.
The idea is to answer the three questions below and leave a link to your post in the comments for others to look at. No blog? No problem! Just leave a comment with your responses.
What are you currently reading?
What have you just finished reading?
What are you going to read next?
Currently Reading: I’m currently reading These Hollow Vows by Lexi Ryan. I’m a sucker for these types of fantasy novels. If last weekend wasn’t so busy I’d probably have finished the book by now. The writing is descriptive, but succinct. Though I love lyricism in writing, I very much prefer this style as well. Plus I sense a love triangle coming on. Most excellent.
Recently Finished: The last book I finished was Out Front the Following Sea by Leah Angstman. I wrote my review and posted to NetGalley, but it hasn’t seen the light of day yet on my blog. It’s a historical fiction set in 17th century New England. It’s not something I normally read, but I must have had a flexible mind when I requested it on NG. Long story short, I’m glad I did because I ended up really liking it.
Reading Next: Next I’m going to read Kaikeyi by Vaishnavi Patel. It’s a reimagining of “the life of Kaikeyi, the vilified queen from the Indian epic the Ramayana.” I know next to nothing about Indian mythology, so I’m excited to dig in and read this retelling.
I do love reading books based on mythologies I’m not familiar with, it’s such a great change of pace!
Agreed! It’s also nice because I have no preconceptions from the original myth and/or fairytale, so I’m happy to be along for the ride.
