WWW Wednesday, 16-September-2015

16 Sep

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!

IMG_1384-0

The Three Ws are:

What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading?
What do you think you’ll read next?

SilkwormCurrently reading:  Slow going on Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell. I don’t have a lot of time to read it so I’m not sure how soon I could finish this. My hold expires soon and I’m not sure if I can renew it so this trend might continue…
I haven’t look at I Am Malala by Malala Yousafzai yet because I’ve had Cloud Atlas. If the hold expires, I’ll get back to this one soon, but I’m almost hoping I can power through Cloud Atlas first.
Getting really close to the end of The Boleyn Inheritance by Philippa Gregory. I’m enjoying it a lot. Katherine Howard’s character is really fun to read. I hope to finish it up really soon!
I’m stopped about 2/3 of the way through Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng. It’s still interesting, but I’ve set it aside for my new audiobook…
I got The Silkworm by Robert Galbraith! I’m really excited about this one. It’s the same narrator as The Cuckoo’s Calling which is really nice. I’m enjoying the focus on publishing in this one. I bet it’s something Rowling/Galbraith knows a lot about!

Recently finished: Nothing finished this week. I know, I know, it’s my own fault because I keep putting books on hold. This is true, I can’t fight it.

Though I put out two book reviews since last week! Please check out my reviews of The Miniaturist by Jessie Burton (3 Stars) and Dark Places by Gillian Flynn (5 Stars).

Bird BoxReading Next: My book club met on Monday and I got my copy of Bird Box by Josh Malerman. I’m going to pick it up as soon as I finish The Boleyn Inherritance. I’m not putting another book on hold!

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!

    Happy Wednesday! I just finished a book a few minutes ago otherwise I wouldn’t have finished one this week either. I really need to get around to reading the Silkworm, especially since I loved The Cuckoo’s Calling.

    I like to have several books on the go, and with long books like Cloud Atlas it does mean there will be weeks and weeks before you finish them. It’s a shame you may not finish Cloud Atlas. It did take me an age to get to the end and I think I scan read some of it!

    You read such a lot of books at once! I’m not sure I could do that, I wish I could. I really need to read The Cuckoo’s Calling. I’ve had it for ages.

    You’re keeping quite busy with all those books, aren’t you? Question, since you said you like Gregory: which book of hers would you recommend starting with?

      I’d start with ‘The Queen’s Fool,’ ‘The Virgin’s Lover,’ or ‘The Constant Princess.’ Those have been my favorites. I like her books about the Tudors more than the Cousin’s War series she also writes. Personal preference I guess. Happy Wednesday!

    Can’t wait to hear what you make of Bird Box. I thought it sounded really intriguing but then the reviews I read were really split – half loved it, half thought it was awful!
