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?

Currently Reading

• What the Wind Knows by Amy Harmon – audiobook
• Radiance by Catherynne M. Valente – physical book
• Valiant (Modern Faerie Tale, #2) by Holly Black – physical book

I have been participating in #laidbackreadathon since Saturday and have been killing it with my reading. I just started listening to What the Wind Knows on Monday and should finish it today. It’s almost a 13 hour audiobook, too! It’s a really great story. I love learning more about the Irish Revolution.

I’ve read about 75 pages into Radiance and I’m not sure how I feel about it yet. Valente’s writing style can be a bit much and that’s really obvious in this novel. So I’ve set it aside for a little bit to see if I want to revisit it after Valiant. I’m only 50 pages into Valiant but I’m liking it so far. Black is definitely queen of the faerie stories and I am here for it!

What did you recently finish reading?

• The Vine Witch (Vine Witch, #1) by Luanne G. Smith – audiobook
• The Thorn Birds by Colleen McCullough – physical book
• Reign of the Fallen (Reign of the Fallen, #1) by Sarah Glenn Marsh – physical book, buddy read

I really enjoyed The Vine Witch and Reign of the Fallen. I was surprised by how engrossing those two books were. I sped through them really quickly. However, I wasn’t as impressed with The Thorn Birds as most people seem to be. None of the characters were really nice nor did I care much about them. They made stupid decisions constantly and I never could figure out how they would come to them. The story was interesting but the characters were not.

What do you think you’ll read next?

• Before the Devil Breaks You (The Diviners, #3) by Libba Bray – physical book
• The Devil’s Thief (The Last Magician, #2) by Lisa Maxwell – physical book
• Winter of the World (Century Trilogy, #2) by Ken Follett – physical book
