Welcome to WWW Wednesday! This meme was formerly hosted by MizB at A Daily Rhythm 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?
Note: For users of Blogspot blogs, I’m unable to comment on your posts as a WordPress blogger unless you’ve enabled Name/URL comments. This is a known WordPress/Blogspot issue. Please consider enabling this to participate more fully in the community.
Currently reading: I’ve ready very little of Servant of the Underworld by Aliette de Bodard though I got through a few pages while I was getting a pedicure! (At this point in my pregnancy, I can’t cut my own toe nails.) I’m still confident I’ll get more into it after baby arrives so have no fear, this will get finished up!
I’ve been really enjoying Más allá de la magia (Beyond the Wand) by Tom Felton. I’m going through it faster than I thought I would, too. His style is very casual and I love the behind-the-sceenes look that Felton gives us. I’m surprised at how few words I’ve had to look up while reading, too!
I started Saints and Misfits by S.K. Ali on Thursday and I’m liking it so far! I’m not very far in and I don’t know how much audio time I’ll have for a bit, but I’m excited to keep moving forward with it.
Recently finished: I managed to wrap up Wolf Hall by Hillary Mantel! I didn’t finish it on the days I had to drive to the office like I thought but those got me close enough to finish it the next day. I’m glad I made it to the end. I have a lot of thoughts I want to share about this one but I’m a bit behind on reviews at the moment and don’t know how soon I’ll get that up.
Reading next: I’m going to guess I’ll need a physical book next. I think it’s probably best I keep it to books I own since my reading speed is going to be unpredictable for a few months. The next up book that I own is a whopper, though. It’s going to be The Lincoln Highway by Amor Towles. Nothing like a 500+ page book for a little light reading!

I’m pleased you managed to finish Wolf Hall and I’ll be interested to read your thoughts, and whether you might go on to read the rest of the trilogy at some point. I still have the final book to read but I’ve pencilled it in for the When Are You Reading challenge to give me the motivation to tackle it. It’s another chunkster.

Congratulations on finishing Wolf Hall! I really enjoyed it but sometimes found it tricky to figure out what character I was reading about. Lots of Thomases I seem to remember. Also Mantel often changed viewpoint but just referred to the character as ‘he’ and sometimes it took me a while to figure out what ‘he’ he was!

Well done for finishing Wolf Hall and I look forward to reading your thoughts on it. I hope that you enjoy Lincoln Highway. I didn’t enjoy it quite as much as A Gentleman in Moscow but it’s still a great read. Here’s my post for this week https://witchyreading.wordpress.com/2024/01/17/www-wednesday-january-17/

Congrats on finishing Wolf Hall! I know you’ve been working on that one for a while now. You’re also really making me want to read Tom Felton’s book.

Be sure to read the full trilogy by Mantel, as I explained why last week I believe.

I remember that point in the pregnancy! My son is 6 months old. Whilst pregnant I lost the joy of reading, but since having him I have got back into the swing of it!
I would like to read a Hillary Mantel one day.
Have a great week!

I’ll be interested to read your thoughts on Wolf Hall.
I had problems composing my post. Drafted it, went wrong, most of it disappeared and I started again. Hence no images. Then this morning I realised I hadn’t shared the link. https://janni10.wordpress.com/2024/01/17/www-wednesday-17-01-2024/
