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.
What are you currently reading?
What have you just finished reading?
What are you going to read next?
Currently Reading
HOUSE OF ROOTS AND RUIN by Erin A. Craig: I’m still working my way through this. I hadn’t picked it up in over a week due to travel, but I’m really trying to get through it now. I’m starting to get bored. The pace is a little too slow for me. “A modern masterpiece, this is a classic Gothic thriller-fantasy from bestselling author Erin A. Craig, about doomed love, menacing ambition, and the ghosts that haunt us forever.“
Just Finished
TOWER OF DAWN by Sarah J. Maas: I finally finished this! As usual, SJM likes to pack her punches in the last 100 pages of her books. I expected that to happen. This was definitely a slower-paced book in the series. I didn’t mind it all that much. It wasn’t as flashy as other POV in the series, but it still has important information.
THAT QUAIL, ROBERT by Margaret A. Stanger: This was a quick, adorable read that I included in my September TBR. I absolutely loved reading about this little quail in New England. Highly recommend for a pick-me-up kind of read. It reminded me a bit of RAISING HARE. “The acclaimed story of the little bird that won the nation’s heart.”
Reading Next
I’m not sure yet what I’ll read next as an eyeball read. It might be LATE LIGHT by Michael Malay. Or, if I feel ambitious, I’ll read THE STORY OF CO2 IS THE STORY OF EVERYTHING by Peter Brannen. But I’ve got THE NEAR WITCH by V.E. Schwab lined up on deck as an audiobook.
I really enjoyed the slower pace of Tower of the Dawn. It definitely picks up in Kingdom of Ash though. I’m glad you enjoyed That Quail. I’m certainly going to hunt for that one
I didn’t mind the slower pace, either! I plan to pick up KoA in October…I’m giving myself a short break!
That was my intention too especially as I have so many other books to read. However, my curiosity as to how it was all going to end got the better of me.
Late Light sounds interesting! I hope you read it at some point 😁
It does! I almost picked it up yesterday but decided to go with a book on squids lol.
Looks like you had a good time with your books, hope you also enjoy your next books!
I’ve only read Craig’s debut and although it was years ago now, I remember it being pretty slow-paced but incredibly atmospheric. I’ve got the one you’re reading now on my TBR. I hope it’s picked up for you by now! I’ve also got The Near Witch on my to-read and it’s been there for years. Not sure why since Schwab is one of my all-time faves but spooky season seems the right time for it! 😂
I’ve finally gotten to the punch line in HOUSE OF ROOTS AND RUIN, but man, it took a while. It just reiterates to me why I seldom reach for gothic stories. Spooky season seems like the perfect time to reach for THE NEAR WITCH! ^_^
Sjm really does save all the action for the end 😂 and oh The Near Witch looks so good!!
She really does! I’m preparing myself for utter devastation for the last book.
I am sorry your current read is not working so well for you, but it seems like you have some interesting books waiting for you! I hope you will love them better!!
Well, I finally finished that Erin Craig book and it was fine, but gothic just isn’t my thing. But I’m glad I crossed another book off my TBR!
