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!
I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and that you got some new books to read. I was very spoilt with books and book-related gifts so will be doing a book haul post soon. At the moment I’m ill so haven’t had the energy to do much of anything the last couple of days. My Covid test is negative (at the moment) but I have all the symptoms so I’m keeping away from people until I’m feeling better. Unfortunately my concentration has left me so all the books I’ve read this week were read before Christmas day and I’ve not read anything since then.
Current Reads
I started reading A Redbird Christmas by Fannie Flagg on Christmas Eve and am really enjoying it so I hope to be able to finish it before New Year.
My Christmas audio book is Miracle on Regent Street by Ali Harris, which is a re-read but I would still like to finish it this week if I can.
I’m also still reading The Christmas Chronicles by Nigel Slater on the relevant days but I usually read through the last entries before New Year so that I can put the book away with my Christmas decorations so I hope to finish this one this week too.
Recent Reads
I love Carol Ann Duffy’s individually published Christmas poem books so it was a lovely surprise to receive the collected The Christmas Poems by Carol Ann Duffy as a gift. I read this one in one go and thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s a beautiful book.
I re-read A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens on Christmas Eve, which is a long-standing tradition of mine.
I finished reading The Miracle on Ebenezer Street by Catherine Doyle, which was a sweet Christmas read.
I treated myself to Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan and read it all in one day, I loved this one and it feels like a book that will really stay with me.
I also read Hide by Nell Pattison and enjoyed it so hope to read more by her in 2022.
I finished In a Dark Dark Wood by Ruth Ware and very much enjoyed it, it was great escapism and kept me gripped all the way through.
What I Might Read Next
I don’t know what I’ll read next as it depends on my mood and if I’m feeling better but the two books that are appealing to me the most at the moment are Other Parents by Sarah Stovell from my NetGalley shelf. And Storyteller by Dave Grohl, which I got for Christmas and am so keen to read!
What are you reading at the moment? I’d love to know 🙂

I hope you feel better soon and your test stays negative.
Yay for all the books and bookish gifts.
I’m reading The Guest List at the moment by Lucy Foley.

In a Dark, Dark Wood always grabs my attention. I hope you enjoy it. I’ll also be curious to hear your thoughts on Grohl’s book.
I loved A Redbird Christmas, read it a few years ago now. I can’t remember what I was reading on Wednesday (oops) – probably starting Sally on the Rocks by Winifred Boggs, which I’ve finished and reviewed now (and was excellent). I have the Grohl but have fallen foul of a terrible bet my husband has made with me (or a challenge) – I can’t read it until I’ve read all my TBR older than it … and all by 5 October 2022 (a year since it arrived, also husband’s birthday). I’m not sure what happens if I don’t get through the TBR although i’m ahead of schedule anyway. Lesson learned: no more bets with husband!
