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:
Forget Me Not by Claire Allan
I started this one yesterday evening and am loving it! It’s such a good read with believable characters and a great plot!
Fiona and the Whale by Hannah Lynn
I’ve only read the first chapter of this one so far but I can tell I’m going to love it. I previously read another of Hannah’s books (The Afterlife of Walter Augustus) and it became a favourite so I’m really looking forward to reading this one.
Almost Love by Louise O’Neill
I’m still really enjoying this book but it’s definitely a book to be read slowly. It’s such a moving book and one that I think a lot of people will see elements of their younger selves in.
The Road to Jonestown: Jim Jones and the People’s Temple by Jeff Guin
I’m still finding this audiobook fascinating. I knew about this cult and how things ended for the people but I had no idea about how it was set up and how he got people to join. It’s so interesting and also utterly chilling.
The Eleventh Day by Anthony Summers
I’ve read a couple more chapters of this book this week and it’s such an interesting book. I know quite a bit about the account of how 9/11 was handled but it’s still eye-opening in parts to see how different the people in positions of power told the story of how and when decisions were (or weren’t) taken.
What I recently finished reading:
Dirty Little Secrets by Jo Spain
I read this entire book in one sitting this week as once I started it I just didn’t want to put it down. I very much enjoyed this and will be sharing a review once I’ve got my thoughts together.
The Carer by Deborah Moggach
I had an eARC of this one but decided to buy the audio book in a recent Audible sale. It was a brilliant novel to get absorbed in and I loved it even more than I thought I would. I recommend it!
Never Have I Ever by Joshilyn Jackson
I’ve been reading this book on and off for a week now and whilst I did enjoy it, it didn’t keep me gripped as much as I’d hoped. I’m not sure if I read it at the wrong time or if the book just wasn’t for me. I’d still recommend it if you like the sound of it though.
Queenie Malone’s Paradise Hotel by Ruth Hogan
When I Lost You by Merrilyn Davies
This is another book where I had an ebook but decided to get the audio so I could part-listen and part-read. I read this in one sitting too as it’s another book that had me engrossed all the way through.
The Water Cure by Sophie Mackintosh
I also read this book whilst listening along to the audiobook and I think I enjoyed it more for reading it like this. I’m not sure how I feel about this book yet, it feels like a book that I need to digest before trying to write my thoughts down.
How to Say Goodbye by Katy Colins
This is such a gorgeous book. It’s a combination of a really lovely story and an exploration of grief that is so real and yet never maudlin. I adored this one and I already want to read it all over again!
What I plan on reading next:
The Family by Louise Jensen
I’m a huge fan of Louise Jensen’s writing so am super excited to read her brand new thriller so am planning on picking it up this week at some point.
The Last by Hanna Jameson
I’m really embarrassed to have had this print ARC for as long as I have without reading it so whilst I’m trying to catch up with my review backlog I’d like to try and read this one this week.
Innocent or Guilty by A. M. Taylor
I got this book on NetGalley recently and have been so looking forward to reading it so am hoping to have chance to start it in the coming days.
The Music Shop by Rachel Joyce
This is another ARC that somehow got lost on my bookcase and I forgot all about it, which I’m mortified about. I’m definitely going to be reading this one soon as I love Rachel Joyce’s writing and this feels like it’ll be a real treat!
What have you been reading this week? I’d love to hear. And if you take part in WWW Wednesdays or This Week in Books please feel free to leave your link below and I’ll make sure to visit and comment on your post. 🙂
The Road to Jonestown was such a fascinating book!
I have read a couple on your list so I know you are in for a treat!! X
I enjoyed the one Rachel Joyce I read thought that was a while ago and haven’t felt strongly about reading anything else by her. I’ll have to see what you make of the. Music Shop.
Just finished re-reading some Agatha Christie (wonderful!) and currently reading a very lovely anthology of writing all about dogs! 😀
I’m reading (and loving) The Family by Louise Jensen
The cover of Almost Love is so beautiful. I’ve been meaning to read The Music Shop since I heard Rachel Joyce talking about the book at Henley Literary Festival, and that was over a year ago.
Here’s my WWW: https://whatcathyreadnext.wordpress.com/2019/10/02/wwwednesdays-2nd-october-19/
You’ve got a lot of good books there, Hayley! As always, I love it that your choices are both fiction and non-fiction, and different sorts of fiction, at that. I do like the variety.
Reading The Floating Feldmans. Bleh….too cliche
Looks like you’re reading a lot of interesting books right now! I hope you enjoy all of them!
Sooo many good looking books and I haven’t read any of them. Am definitely adding a few to my tbr.
I can’t wait to read Forget Me Not and Dirty Little Secrets! I’m also so excited for Louise Jensen’s newest, but I’ll have to wait for a little while longer (read: two weeks) before my preorder finally arrives. xD Have a wonderful week and happy reading! xx
