Hey everyone! I think this post was actually supposed to go up earlier, but I guess there was a glitch and it didn’t. (Technology can be a bother sometimes.. *sigh*) But anyway here I am with this week’s WWW Wednesday! I actually managed to get A LOT of reading done, by some kind of magic witchcraft. And I enjoyed basically all of them, so yesss. Success right there! Alright, so let’s get into the what of everything.
Currently Reading
- The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater
I started my re-read of The Raven Boys yesterday! I’m hoping to have this and at least the second book finished before the release of The Raven King (which I can’t wait for, by the way). I don’t actually talk about this series much (or ever), I’ve noticed, but I actually do like it! Re-reading it now is making me enjoy it more than the first time, I think. Just a little.
Recently Finished
- The Winner’s Curse by Marie Kutkoski
- It’s a Wonderful Death by Sarah J Schmitt
- A Step Toward Falling by Cammie McGovern
- What We Left Behind by Robin Talley
The Winner’s Curse was the book I had been reading last week, and, well, I finished it! It was a re-read, and I loved it just as much as when I read it the first time. ❤
It’s a Wonderful Death was a surprise read for me, actually. I hadn’t planned on reading it, but I got it from the library the other day and since it seemed like a quick read, I decided to read it! And gosh, I loved it. It was such an insightful yet fun read!
A Step Toward Falling was another library book I got. At first I wasn’t that into it, but by the time I reached the end, I really enjoyed it! I’m definitely going to be trying out Cammie McGovern’s other novel, Say What You Will, sometime as well.
And finally, I also read What We Left Behind. I’ve been really into the library and contemporary books this week, it seems! This, as well, was a really good read. Full of diverse and interesting characters, I had so much fun reading this, especially since the author dealt with the LGBT themes so well.
Read Next
- The Winner’s Crime by Marie Rutkoski
- The Dream Thieves by Maggie Stiefvater
- The Moth and the Flame & The Crown and the Arrow by Renee Ahdieh
- Tell Me Three Things by Julie Buxbaum
So, I finished my re-read of The Winner’s Curse the other day (it was sooo good!) and am currently planning on writing up a review on it. I’m kind of debating whether to just do a series review once I finished The Winner’s Kiss? If I do then I can go straight ahead to The Winner’s Crime but otherwise I have to wait ’till I’m done writing my review… I’m quite indecisive right now. So.
Moving on, I’m currently re-reading The Raven Boys in anticipation for the release of The Raven King, and obviously, once I finish it I’ll be moving on to The Dream Thieves, the second book! I really must finish my re-read of the series soon, for the fourth book is being released quite soon. I think?
And, now, here’s a confession: I haven’t read The Moth and the Flame or The Crown and the Arrow yet! (They’re novellas set in the world of The Wrath and the Dawn, in case you didn’t know.) I know, I know. But I’ve been a busy little chocolate bar, and I just thought I might as well wait–The Rose and the Dagger is being released soon, after all, and these novellas might be useful to jog my memory as to what happened in TWATD.
Finally, I’ve decided to add Tell Me Three Things to this list–is it just me, or did that book seem to appear everywhere for a while? Those blog tour people sure know how to attack us with book publicity! But maybe that was just me. So. Anyway, I am mildly intrigued and definitely want to check it out!
I’m interested to see what you think of Tell Me Three Things. I want to read it because I, too, have been seeing it everywhere!

That’s a great week. It’s lovely when you find something random at the library and end up really enjoying it 🙂
I’ve had to set myself reminders about The Raven King and the 2nd book in the Wrath and the Dawn series. I keep forgetting they’re out so soon!

Confession: I haven’t read The Moth and the Flame or The Crown and the Arrow yet either. I’m waiting for The Rose and the Dagger to be released so I can read them all at the same time!

I still have to read a number of these for the first time, haha. But I’m so glad most of them were as good as you remembered. I recently read The Winner’s trilogy (March/April) and it was soooo good! I loved Arin and Kestrel’s relationship so much. All the angst and misunderstandings had me a little frustrated but they’re such a shippable couple! 🙂
