WWW Wednesday – April 3rd, 2019

Welcome to WWW Wednesday which is currently being hosted by Sam @ Taking On A World of Words. It’s really just a place to do little update on what all you’ve been reading lately. Anyone is welcome to join, just leave a link to your post in the comments and be sure to give the appropriate credit to Sam!

The Three W’s are:

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

What are you currently reading?

• Kingdom of the Blazing Phoenix (Rise of the Empress, #2) by Julie C. Dao – audibook
• The English Wife by Lauren Willig – physical book
• Jade City (The Green Bone Saga, #1) by Fonda Lee – physical book

I finally decided to just go ahead and finish the Rise of the Empress duology, when I was making a few exchanges on my Audible account. I wasn’t a big fan of the first novel but with this sequel following Jade, I thought I’d give it a chance. It’s interesting so far but I find Jade to be kind of a dud. She’s too timid and lacks much of a personality, but maybe that’ll change as I get further into the story.

I’m not too far into The English Wife yet, but I’m already pulled into the intrigue of the story. I love how the murder mystery is being explored. I’m a sucker for historical fiction and the Gilded Age setting is wonderful. I can’t wait to see how the story plays out.

I haven’t gotten but a few pages into Jade City so I haven’t formed any sort of opinion on it yet. I’m just excited to finally be reading it!

What did you recently finish reading?

• And I Darken (The Conqueror’s Saga, #1) by Kiersten White – physical book, RTC
• Honor Bound (The Honors, #2) by Rachel Caine and Ann Aguirre – physical book, RTC
• Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid – audiobook, REVIEW
• The Beautiful Strangers by Camille Di Maio – audiobook

I got through quite a few books this past week and that’s never a bad thing. I really enjoyed all of these for the most part. I was a little disappointed with The Beautiful Strangers and it only ended up being an average forgettable read for me. The rest were all great, especially Honor Bound and Daisy Jones & The Six.

What do you think you’ll read next?

• Rabbit & Robot by Andrew Smith – physical ARC
• Navigating the Stars (Sentinels of the Galaxy, #1) by Maria V. Snyder – audiobook
• Tithe (Modern Faerie Tales, #1) by Holly Black – physical book
