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:
The Last Stage by Louise Voss
I started reading this one last night and it’s one of those books where I begrudge real life interfering with my reading time. It’s such a brilliant read!
Five Rivers Met on a Wooded Plain by Barney Norris
I’ve had this on my TBR ever since it first came out so when I spotted it on BorrowBox this week I decided to listen to it while part reading it. I’m intrigued by it and am looking forward to listening to more.
The Wave by Virginia Moffatt
This book is really interesting. It’s about a disparate group of people who end up staying on a beach in Cornwall awaiting a tsunami; they know they don’t have time to escape so are trying to accept their fate and enjoy their last night. I’m completely invested in these characters and want them to survive!
Wrecking Crew: Demolishing the Case Against Steven Avery by John Ferak
I watched Making a Murderer season 1 and 2 and so when I spotted this book recently I decided to buy it and read more about the case. I’m only a little way in and so far it’s mostly what I’ve seen in the Netflix series but I’m still gripped.
What I recently finished reading:
Lyrebird by Cecelia Ahern
My husband bought me this hardback the year this book was published so I wanted to make sure I definitely finally read it this year. It’s the 4th book from my 20 Books of Summer challenge and I very much enjoyed it. It’s quite a slow, quiet novel but it was wonderful!
Me and the Table by Stephen Hendry
I downloaded the audio of this from Borrowbox on a whim as I’m a huge snooker fan and remember the years of poor Jimmy White never quite managing to beat Hendry in the World Championship Finals. This was a much better book than I expected and I really enjoyed it, I think it was it being on audio and having Hendry narrate it that really made it so good.
Something to Live For by Richard Roper
This book is such a life-affirming novel and I loved every minute that I spent reading it. I’ll be reviewing this one on the 7th July for the blog tour so please look out for my thoughts then!
Hard Pushed by Leah Hazard
I found this book about what it is to be a midwife in the NHS a fascinating read. I’m so glad I read it.
Something to Tell You by Lucy Diamond
This was a light-hearted read that I really enjoyed reading over the last few days. It kept me hooked all the way through.
What I plan on reading next:
Normal People by Sally Rooney
This is another pick from my 20 Books of Summer and I hope to get to it this week. I’ve found the audio on Scribd* so I may part-listen and part-read it if I struggle with the hardback. I’m keen to see if I enjoy this one anymore than Conversations with Friends!
Reservoir 13 by Jon McGregor
This is one of my 20 Books of Summer too and I’m just in the mood to read it so hopefully I’ll get to read it in the coming days.
The Closer I Get by Paul Burston
This is an ARC I was sent and I am so keen to get to this book, it sounds like one I’m going to love so it’s high on my list to get to in the next week or so!
Then She Vanishes by Claire Douglas
I recently read Last Seen Alive by this author and it reminded me how much I love her writing so I’m even more keen to get to her new one. It sounds like a fab summer thriller so I want to read it asap!
*I’m a paid member of Scribd (as mentioned above) and they have given me a code that will allow you to sign up and get two months free (and I would get one month free). If you’d like to try them out here is the link. I love Scribd and highly recommend them.

So many tempting books. I’m curious about Normal People. Here’s my WWW WEDNESDAYS
I’m hearing good things about the Richard Roper from so many bloggers! I’ll look forward to reading your review. I read Reservoir 13 a while back and enjoyed it although it was quite different from what I expected.
Here’s my WWW: https://whatcathyreadnext.wordpress.com/2019/07/03/www-wednesdays-3rd-july-19/
Such a fascinating variety of books, Hayley! I You’ve got both fiction and non-fiction, and you’ve got some really interesting titles there! I’m glad you’re having a good reading week.
I’m finishing up The Girlfriend by Michelle Frances and I just started Summer Of ’69 by Elin Hilderbrand! Once The Girlfriend is done I’m starting on my ARC of The Escape Room too!
Really happy you’re enjoying The Last Stage. I haven’t read it yet but I’ve only heard great things about it 🙂 I’ll be reading The She Vanishes soon too! Happy reading x
Lots of great ones and I spy a few that will be going on my list. Loving the covers for The Last Stage and The Wave.
I used to love Cecelia Aherne’s books but it feels like forever since I read any. Lyrebird was probably the last and it really is a wonderful book. Am also a Lucy Diamond fan but don’t think I’ve read that one yet.
That’s a fabulous spread of books – and like Ali, while I enjoyed Cecilia Aherne’s books, I then stopped reading them for some reason… I hope you enjoy the upcoming ones:)
I’m reading the closer I get at the moment, really enjoying it. X
