Hey everyone! I still can’t believe it’s the beginning of March, omg. But it is! And it also happens to be the time for another WWW Wednesday post—so since I know you guys are probably just interested in the books, let’s get to it!
WWW Wednesday is a meme hosted by Sam @ Taking On a World of Words), where we answer the following questions:
What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading?
What do you think you’ll read next?
Currently Reading
- The Accident Season by Moïra Fowley-Doyle
I had meant to finish The Accident Season last month, but I only started it yesterday. Oh well. So far it’s really good, though I’m not too far into it yet. I can’t wait to read more of it! ❤
Recently Finished
- Wolf by Wolf by Ryan Graudin
- A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab
- Stars Above by Marissa Meyer
Ahhhh the hype has most definitely not been wrong for Wolf by Wolf!! It was absolutely spectacular, guys, if you haven’t read it already, I’m telling you, you absolutely should! Even if you’re not a fan of historical fiction, I assure you this book is amazing.
A Darker Shade of Magic is SUCH A HYPED BOOK, especially with the release of its sequel! And so yes, I finally read it, and god, I’m asking myself now, what on earth took me so long to get to it??! Although there were a few things that I wasn’t a huge fan of, this book had me hooked from start to finish and I loved it.
Stars Above wasn’t exactly a planned read, but I recently got a copy of it from my library (agh I want to buy it so badly though *stomps angrily*) and I got started on it right away! I loved reading the novellas, though kind of feeling nostalgic now since it was the last of a book with the characters from LC, haha.
Read Next
- Frozen Tides by Morgan Rhodes
- A Gathering Shadows by V.E. Schwab
- Illuminae by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff
- Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins
I took off one of the other reads I had planned to read next—Aristotle and Dante—I think I’d rather read it later on, during spring or summer? I know, I know. But I WILL read it someday!
The Falling Kingdoms read-along is soon moving on with the 4th book in the series, Frozen Tides, this Friday! I really enjoyed reading Gathering Darkness, so I can’t wait to see how the fourth book turns out.
As you tell from my squealing over ADSOM, I can’t wait to read the sequel, A Gathering of Shadows! And so that’s exactly what I have on my read next. I want to try and get a review on ADSOM before I start it though, so we’ll see how it goes.
Illuminae is on my list again, but I have no idea when I might be picking this up. It’s such a huge book, so I’m not sure when I’ll be able to fit it into my schedule, especially with my other planned reads! Ahhh time is so hard to get these days.
And then finally, I have Lola and the Boy Next Door once again, though I doubt I’ll be able to read it this week, as much as I’d like to. And like I mentioned before, I’m thinking of postponing it until later anyway? I dunno. It’s a possibility. Any suggestions?
SO glad you enjoyed ADSOM (brilliant) and are planning to go straight onto AGOS (also very very good!). Illuminae is also excellent (and not as long as it looks – the formatting takes up a lot of space). You have a another great week of reading ahead of you 🙂

Ooh glad you liked ADSOM. Hah! Couldn’t wait for A gathering of Shadows huh? Lucky for you. I had to wait until it was released. It was torture.. Hate waiting. Just added Wolf by wolf to my TBR. And Stars Above had me feeling nostalgic too. Lola and the boy next door is even better than Anna and French Kiss. Hope you enjoy all of them! 🙂 * http://wp.me/p57dGY-vX

I enjoyed it but it was pretty average. More for beginners going into high fantasy which I am not since it’s my favorite genre. But I could see a lot of potential in the story line and such

Yeah, I see what you mean! It was similar for me; it didn’t exactly fit my fantasy-loving side because, as you said, it seemed more like for beginners going into fantasy, which I’m not either. 😉 Though I have to say, I still managed to find it to be entertaining! (Mostly.) 😂 I hope you enjoy the rest of the series once you get around to reading it.
