Welcome to WWW Wednesday! This meme was formerly hosted by MizB at Should be Reading and revived here on Taking on a World of Words. Just answer the three questions below and leave a link to your post in the comments for others to look at. No blog? No problem! Just leave a comment with your responses. Please, take some time to visit the other participants and see what others are reading. So, let’s get to it!
The Three Ws are:
What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading?
What do you think you’ll read next?
Currently reading: I’ve been working on La Sombra del Viento by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. It’s reminding me that I need to practice my Spanish more, but I’m really enjoying the story. I hope to finish it this summer.
Good progress with A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin. I think I’m finally getting somewhere with it and I’m liking it a lot more than I thought I would.
Slow progress with Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell. I’m not engaged yet and I’m not sure how long it will take, but it’s a good morning read so far.
I’ve started a new audiobook on my phone which is Harry, a History by Melissa Anelli. It’s an oral history of the Harry Potter phenomenon as told by a leading fangirl. Not too far into it yet to judge, but I’ll be sure to report out soon.
Recently finished: I got through two! The first was The Girls at the Kingfisher Club by Genevieve Valentine which was an audiobook for me. I enjoyed it and gave it 4/5 stars. Review coming next week.
The second was The Bohemians by Ben Tarnoff. It just wasn’t for me, unfortunately. I wasn’t really interested in the subject and I felt the narrative jumped around a lot so I wasn’t as interested as I would have liked to be. Oh well. 2/5 stars.
I’ve also got two book reviews posted since last week. Go check out my feelings on Waiting to be Heard by Amanda Knox and The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman.
Reading Next: Still planning on it being A Widow for One Year by John Irving. This will be the next book to derail me from Sombra and, to be honest, I won’t mind.
Leave a comment with your link and a comment (if you’re so inclined). Take a look at the other participant links in the comments and look at what others are reading.
Have any opinions on these choices?
Until next time, write on.
You can follow me on Goodreads, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram. I’m available via email at SamAStevensWriter@gmail.com. And as always, feel free to leave a comment!
Taking On a World of Words 
I loved A Widow For One Year although if I remember rightly this is quite a chunkster of a book! Here is my week in books https://cleopatralovesbooks.wordpress.com/2015/06/03/this-week-in-books-june-3/

I think most Irving novels could be chunksters haha. Happy Wednesday!

Getting through two is good going! The Girls at the Kingfisher Club sounds promising 🙂 I’m glad you’re getting into Game of Thrones. I can’t remember which of the books in the series I enjoyed the most (possibly the second one). But they’re all pretty good, except the last one, which disappointed me.

The Sombra is so good. I really dont get why its taking you so long. Perhaps because you’re reading it in Spanish? Happy reading!

Yeah, the Spanish is bogging me down. This is also my ‘in between’ book. It’s what I read between my book club books so I pick it up for a few days and put it down for a month. I’m getting close to the end and with one book club taking a break for the summer, I hope to be able to work on it for a while. Happy Wednesday!

I have Cloud Atlas on my TBR shelf; it’s been there a couple of years. It’s a huge book and I’m not convinced it’s going to be my thing so haven’t made that time investment yet.
I really enjoyed your Waiting To Be Heard review!

The Girls at the Kingfisher Club is wonderful! I love the cover of the hardcover edition. I’m really disappointed that it won’t be used on the paperback.

That’s a shame, I really like that cover, too. When will the paperback cover be released?
LikeLike
I believe it’s coming out at the end of this month. The new one is blue, with some awkward silhouettes on it.
I purposely bought a second copy of the hardcover when I found it in a bargain bin just so I have one on hand if I ever want to gift this book. lol
