Hello lovelies!
It’s time for WWW Wednesday! This meme was originally hosted by A Daily Rhythm but was revived by Sam from Taking on a World of Words. It’s a place to talk about the books you’ve been reading, plan to read and have read. I don’t usually keep track of my reading, except for my Goodreads Challenge, but I’ve found this meme to be really helpful with keeping me on track.
To take part all you have to do is answer the following questions:
What are you currently reading?
What have you recently finished reading?
What are you going to read next?
Currently Reading
I’m absolutely ADORING graphic novels right now… they’re so fun and easy to read while still packing the same punch. It’s a wonder I didn’t get in to reading them sooner! Heartstopper is adorably sweet so far and I CANNOT WAIT for the ending. I’ve already requested Volume 2 at my library as I want to soak up as much of Nick and Charlie’s cute romance as I can…
I’m really enjoying Infamous and Nimona as well. I’ve been obsessed with the Chronicles of Nick lately and Infamous is the best one yet. While the previous ones have had a few issues here and there… this one hasn’t. The characters are so well developed and the pace is INTENSE. I’m lovin’ it!
Recently Finished
This was a VERY SLOW reading week for me. I’ve had a few things on and books sadly went to the way side. I really enjoyed these three though! The Poet X was captivating and heart-breaking. It’s unflinching honesty really caught my attention!
Talon and Invincible were really good reads, too. I had a few issues with them, which I’ll explain more in their reviews. Despite the issues, most of them were minor and I’m keen to see where their stories lead from here!
Reading Next
In light of this past week’s reading slump, I’m only selecting three book for this following week. My ARC of the week is A Lie for a Lie which I’m keen to try as Helena Hunting is an awesome author! I’ve heard so much about Everything, Everything and have been excited to try this book for a long time. Plus, the cover is GORGEOUS!
I picked up A Curse so Dark and Lonely a week or two ago but got quite bored and ended up putting it down. I think I’m in a better space to give it another try this week though, so hopefully my interest in it improves!
// have you read any of these books? what did you think of them? //
heartstopper and nimona look absolutely wonderful I have to add them to my tbr asap
what a great list you have here

I’ve only read A Curse so Dark and Lonely and to be honest, I didn’t like it all that well. I know others rave about it but it just wasn’t for me.

I will be reading I Flipping Love You, which apparently is the third book in a series, but I didn’t realize that at the time.

That’s okay, it might be one of those you can read as a stand alone if it’s a series with different couples for each book? I hope you enjoy it! 🙏✨ Jen

I thought ACSDAL was great and Everything Everything a little dull and too teenage for me 😕 Also, do you read by cover color ? 🤔 That would be an interesting concept !
LikeLiked by 1 person
I’m hoping ACSDAL will pick up for me. I enjoy the disability rep but can’t seem to get very interested in it. I’m hoping it will pick up! 🙂 The cover is stunning though! Everything, Everything has been on my TBR for a while but since I know the spoiler I’m not sure how much I’ll enjoy it. I enjoy reading teenage drama though 😛 I do actually read by cover colour! I only realised it recently (I hadn’t known I’d been doing it for YEARS). It’s not intentional but does make the sections on WWW look nice 😛

I keep eyeing Heartstopper – I will read it at some point I’m sure. I enjoy graphic novels when I read them, but I just don’t reach for them that often.That one definitely sounds wonderful though, as does Nimona.

This is the first time I’ve really gone out of my way to read graphic novels and I have to say I’m so pleasantly surprised by them! 🙂 Heartstopper was very sweet and I’ve just finished Nimona now. They were both so good in their own ways. I hope you enjoy them if/when you get around to reading them 🙂 Jen

Aww, I’m sorry Curse didn’t work out for you the first time. I was really engrossed with the story from the beginning, but 100% love Harper as a character. Her and Grey really carry that series in my opinion.

Oh yes! I completely agree about Harper and Grey. Honestly it was well
Written and quite well paced and I think if it had been Grey and Harper I’d be singing it’s praises. I just REALLY don’t like Rhen 😂😅
