The Three W’s are:

Currently Reading

• Before the Devil Breaks You (The Diviners, #3) by Libba Bray – physical book
• Oona Out of Order by Margarita Montimore – audiobook

I’m really enjoying Before the Devil Breaks You. I love how creepy this series can be and this book is no exception so far. I’m about halfway through this series and hope to get a lot of reading done by the end of the week.

I’m starting Oona Out of Order today and really excited for it. Everyone I know has really enjoyed it and you know I love a good time traveling novel. I mean, I literally just listened to What the Wind Knows, haha!

What did you recently finish reading?

• What the Wind Knows by Amy Harmon – audiobook
• Valiant (Modern Faerie Tale, #2) by Holly Black – physical book
• The Rejected Writers’ Book Club (Southlea Bay, #1) by Suzanne Kelman – audiobook

I enjoyed What the Wind Knows, but it didn’t quite reach a 5 star read for me. I think I was actually less invested in the love story part than I was of the actual political issues going on in Ireland. Ireland is my favorite place and I loved getting to learn a little more about the revolution that was going on during this time. It’s both fascinating and extremely tragic.

I also really loved Valiant. Holly Black just gets my twisted little soul so much. Apparently, this book is most people’s least favorite of the trilogy but I don’t quite agree. This was a very different type of story from Kaye and Roiben’s, but I enjoyed that change of view. It was really dark and the murder mystery was a nice addition to the plot. I just wish we would have gotten more of the faerie scenes, rather than so much of the runaways just laying around.

The Rejected Writers’ Book Club was a cute book but nothing special. I liked the characters more than the actual plot. I think I’ve just realized that chick-lit just isn’t my type of genre. I think probably because of the contemporary setting.

What do you think you’ll read next?

• Tuesday Mooney Talks to Ghosts by Kate Racculia – audiobook
• Starsight (Skyward, #2) by Brandon Sanderson – physical book
• Serpent & Dove (Serpent & Dove, #1) by Shelby Mahurin – physical book
