WWW Wednesdays (2 Aug ’23)! What are you reading at the moment?

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!

Current Reads

I’ve just started reading Still Born by Guadalupe Nettel and have been engrossed in it – I can’t wait to get back to it! I’m also still reading On the Savage Side by Tiffany McDaniel but with it being a hardback book I’m being limited at the moment by my ability to physically hold it. It’s a beautiful book though and I’m actually enjoying being forced to take my time with it.

Recent Reads

My reading has been slower this week than last week but I’m still been reading. I read Good Bad Girl by Alice Feeney and found it to be a really compulsive read, it was hard to put down. You do need to suspend disbelief in this one but I didn’t mind that, I was happily along for the ride! Then yesterday I finished reading Show Me The Bodies: How We Let Grenfell Happen by Peter Apps. This is a book that everyone should read – it’s devastating and shocking and it will make you so angry but it’s very well researched and put together. As a disabled person myself I’m furious at the lack of care and compassion from authorities and just can’t get my head around the callous disregard for human life.

What I Might Read Next

I’m not sure what I’ll be reading next but I’m drawn to These Streets by Luan Goldie from my NetGalley shelf; The Girls of Summer by Katie Bishop, which I just bought in the Kindle sale and am really keen to read; and I’ve just received A Spell of Good Things by Ayobami Adebayo from the library on audiobook so I think what will be my next listen.

What are you reading at the moment? I’d love to know 🙂

  1. I remember hearing about that fire and how it was preventable, but didn’t realize there was a book detailing it. I can imagine it would have made a lot of people angry. I hope you enjoy your upcoming reads, Hayley.

  2. I’m always happy to go along for the ride in an Alice Feeney book. And the ending of Good Bad Girl – what?! I had it somewhat figured out but not the jaw dropping twist. Crazy as always.

  3. Some really interesting ones there and thank you for highlighting the Grenfell one. I think on Wednesday I was reading This Way to the Revolution, which was a fab book about Birmingham in 1968, and a really interesting novel set among the Chinese Vietnamese community in America from NetGalley, The Boy You Always Wanted by Michelle Quach (reviews to come tomorrow and Tuesday).
