WWW Wednesday is a meme hosted by Sam at Taking on a World of Words. It’s open for anyone to join in and is a great way to share what you’ve been reading! All you have to do is answer three questions and share a link to your blog in the comments section of Sam’s blog.
The three Ws are:
What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading?
What do you think you’ll read next?
A similar meme is run by Lipsyy Lost and Found where bloggers share This Week in Books #TWiB.
What I’m reading now:
Eligible by Curtis Sittenfeld
This was one of my choices for my #20BookofSummer and it’s such a great read for this time of year. I’m really enjoying this novel and definitely recommend it.
Baby Lost by Hannah Robert
As I think I said last week I’m not really in the mood for non-fiction so this book is still on the back burner. I’m hoping my non-fiction mojo returns soon as I definitely want to get back to this soon.
The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson
This is my other non-fiction read and it’s also been put to one side this week but again I hope to get back to it soon. Fingers crossed for the non-fiction vibe returning before too long.
Based on a True Story by Delphine de Vigan
I had to put this to one side this week as I was reading another review book that had similar themes and didn’t want to get the two mixed up in my head. I’m back reading this now and am really enjoying it.
What I recently finished reading:
Labor Day by Joyce Maynard
This is a book that has been on my TBR for ages but has never reached the top but when I spotted it on my audio book subscription the other day I decided to listen to it. I got so engrossed in this novel, it really grabbed me and I recommend it.
The Law of Similars by Chris Bohjalian
This was one of my alternate choices for #20BooksofSummer but it ended up being the one that called to me the most so I decided to read it. I feel a bit conflicted about it as I really enjoyed reading it, it held my attention throughout but it left me feeling a little deflated. I’m hoping to review it if I can get my thoughts together about it soon.
I loved this novel and read it in one sitting as there just wasn’t a place where I could stop reading – I simply had to know what was going to happen. I’ve already reviewed this so you can read my thoughts on it here if you’d like to.
The Things We Thought We Knew by Mahsuda Snaith
This novel was incredible. It was one of those books that I picked up at exactly the right time and it was such a moving and soothing novel. I honestly think this will be one of my books of the year! I’ve already reviewed it so you can see why I loved it so much here.
The Nest by Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney
I’ve been reading this over the last couple of weeks and I have enjoyed it so much. There was so much more to the book than I was expecting and I think it’s one that will stay in my mind for a while to come.
What I plan on reading next:
Last Seen by Lucy Clarke
I’ve been so excited about this book as I’m a big fan of Lucy Clarke’s writing and I simply can’t wait any longer to read this!
Three Days and a Life by Pierre LeMaitre
This arrived just the other day and I’m so keen to read it so am hoping to get to it this week!

I loved Joyce Maynard’s Labor Day…and I also enjoyed The Nest.
I’m curious about Baby Lost. Enjoy them all, and here’s MY WWW POST
I’ve seen Eligible and Exquisite in a few places this week and really want to read both. They do sound like brilliant reads.
I really want to read The Nest! And I’m curious about your thoughts on The Law of Similars! Happy reading my friend! xx
I’ve had a bit of a listen to Eligible on audiobook, it hasn’t grabbed me yet. I do love Mr Bennett though.
I really need to read Exquisite. I have only heard good things about it. Last Seen also looks really interesting. Happy reading 🙂
Ha – I love that there wasn’t a good place to stop the one book so you just kept on reading – I think we’ve all been there at some time! I finished “The Gallery of Vanished Husbands” by Natasha Solomons yesterday (I wanted to like it more than I liked it, but must look up some reviews of it from when it came out) and have started Eric Newby’s “Something Wholesale” which is the only one of his books I’ve not yet read. I have Stuart Maconie’s “Long Road from Jarrow” stacked up next on the Kindle. I need to review that to regain my Netgalley 80% badge and then I think two more to get my 25 badge.
Hope you get your non-fiction mojo back soon!
You’ve got some interesting reads there, Hayley. I know just what you mean, though, about waiting until your mojo comes back for reading non-fiction. I get that way about certain sorts of books, too.
So pleased to hear that you enjoyed The Things We Thought We Knew, as that’s my current read!
My TWiB post is here: https://josbookblog.co.uk/2017/06/21/this-week-in-books-21-06-17/
I have to be in the mood for non fiction too. I hope you enjoy it when you do get around to it. 🙂
I really enjoyed Eligible and read it for my #20BooksofSummer challenge last year. It’s silly but strangely entertaining 😊
Wintering by some guy (it’s sloooow going so far, but I’m only ~50 pages in) and It’s Not Like It’s a Secret by Misa Sugiura.
Actually, going to pick up Devil in the White City this week. It will be a re-read for a book club. It is a good one. I like how it does not feel nonfiction-y.
I’m delighted to hear how much you enjoyed Eligible as I recently bought it:). As ever, a wide-ranging and interesting haul:)
