In case you missed it yesterday, I posted about my anticipated August 2026 book releases. Go have a look if you want to add to your TBR! 😉 Now, onto WWW Wednesday.

WWW Wednesday was 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.

Currently Reading

DAUGHTER OF THE OTHERWORLD by Shauna Lawless: Like last week, I’m still reading this, but I’m close to finishing it! At the time of writing this post I’ve read 76%, so finishing this book is imminent. Like all Lawless’s books, I like this one. However, I’m not as interested in one of the POVs because now it’s evolved into battle planning. I normally wouldn’t mind too much about that, but there’s like, 150 years between this book and the last and I just can’t keep all the new secondary and tertiary characters straight in this particular POV.

A MARVELLOUS LIGHT by Freya Marske: I’ve picked this one back up now that I finished THE SECRET LIFE OF ALBERT ENTWISTLE. Magical plant chaos has ensued!

Just Finished

THE SECRET LIFE OF ALBERT ENTWISTLE by Matt Cain: This was a lovely book about a 65-year-old postal worker who is gay but has never told anyone. The passing of his beloved cat and his imminent retirement make him realize he doesn’t really have a community. So as events unfold he learns and becomes more comfortable sharing about himself, which helps build friendships, find his long lost teenage love, and heal some past teenage trauma. Albert is such a wonderful character. I definitely recommend this book!

Reading Next

I know I “should” read the next TOG book, but I’m a little tired of picking up books that feel a bit more mandatory (e.g., ARCs and the like). So I think I need to go rogue for my next book and pick one that doesn’t have an agenda before I settle back into TOG. I’m thinking my next physical book will be IN STORMY WEATHER by Chelsea Curto (or the other storm chaser romance I recently bought). And my next audiobook will be HOUSE OF ROOTS AND RUIN by Erin Craig. The latter book is one I’ve had on my physical TBR for a few years now. But as I’ve said before, I’m going to need to switch to audiobook for some of my physical TBR list or I’ll never make progress.
