WWW WEDNESDAYS is hosted by Sam at Taking On A World Of Words and is all about answering the three questions below.
- WHAT ARE YOU CURRENTLY READING?
I have finally started reading The Infinite Sea by Rick Yancey, although it’s still too early to say if I like it better than the first one. I’ve also started the prequel novella The Fear Trials by Lindsey Cummings… I’m going to try and finish this series ASAP. And I’ve put Outlander by Diana Gabaldon on hold until November because there is no way I will be able to finish it before the end of the month anyway. It’s not that I don’t like it so far though!
- WHAT DID YOU RECENTLY FINISH READING?
I didn’t have that much time to read last week and I was also quite distracted by my new food blog Easy Peasy Delicious Food, so I only managed to finish three books.
* The first is The Murder Complex by Lindsay Cummings, a read I really enjoyed and I will be reading the sequel soon as well.
* Next up was Ochoco Reach by Jim Stewart, a very entertaining and well written read.
* Last but not least: The Paper Magician by Charlie N. Holmberg. Quite a short read, but not as good as I hoped for.
- WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’LL READ NEXT?
I really want to read Girl Of Nightmares by Kendare Blake… I loved the first book and reading this one also means I will finish another series. Although I might give in and start yet another series first with Bad Girls Don’t Die by Katie Alender… I should also read Vanishing Girls by Lauren Oliver since it has been appearing on my monthly TBR and WWW posts for ages. The last one, The Valentine Circle by Reinaldo DelValle, is still my latest TBR jar pick I will most likely put on hold until the month is over.
Even devoting more time to your food blog (which looks lovely by the way) you’ve finished more books in a week than me 🙂

Thanks! I guess them being short and quick reads did help me finish them sooner… 😉

I really need to read Vanishing Girls. Oh and Bad Girls Don’t Die which is coming up soon on my TBR! I hope you enjoy your reading this week!

Vanishing Girls has been on my TBR lists for ages now… I don’t know why I keep putting it off. Bad Girls Don’t Die sounds like a perfect Halloween read. Happy reading! 😀

Oh no! I really liked the sound of The Paper Magician. It’s a shame it’s not as good as you’d hoped.
I can see how reading the Outlander series would seriously reduce your time to read anything else. Let alone set up a lovely food blog 🙂

I’m still getting my thoughts together on The Paper Magician, but it just wasn’t as good as the blurb made me believe… And I think I will put Outlander on hold for now until I have more free time to read; for now I’m picking mostly shorter reads. 😉

I need to read Vanishing Girls too – I was so keen to read it that I bought it on release day and yet still haven’t read it. I’m sure it’ll be a great read, Lauren Oliver never disappoints. Hope you manage to get to read it this week.

I have never read any of her work before, so it’s good to know you enjoyed her other work. Vanishing Girls sounds really interesting, but somehow I always end up reading something else instead haha.

I think I’ve read all her books and they’ve all been great so I have high hopes for this one.

I got my copy of The Paper Magician based on the cover alone; it’s so pretty! The blurb is interesting as well, but somehow the story just doesn’t deliver.

Too bad…I’ll get it off my wishlist then. I trust your opinion 🙂

I’ve heard other people enjoying it slightly better than I did, but in general reviews have been negative about this one. It’s a shame because the cover and blurb were really promising!

Anna Dressed in Blood was so good that I was actually nervous the second one would ruin it, so I never read Girl of Nightmares. I hope you end up liking it and maybe I’ll go back to it at some point! Vanishing Girls is really good in a way that I wasn’t expecting!

I really enjoyed The Infinite Sea. I’ve had the Paper Magician on my TBR, but have been going back and forth on whether I really want to read it or not. Since it’s a short read, I may try to give it a chance. I bought the Vanishing Girls when it first came out and still haven’t read it yet!

I have been posponing The Infinite Sea like forever, so it’s about time I finally read it. 😉 The Paper Magician sounded so promising, but the story ended up being mostly meh. It started out ok and the paper magic is quite interesting, but the plot itself is pretty weak. It is quite a short story though fortunately.

I quite enjoyed Outlander but it is very, very long. I read it as a buddy read which I think pushed me on. Currently trying to talk myself into the next one in the series but it’s over 1000 pages 😦
Also been thinking about reading the Paper Magician but may move it down the list.

I don’t mind long books that much, but somehow I haven’t been having enough time to properly sit down for it. At least the pace seems to be faster than with the Song Of Ice And Fire series; it took me ages to finish each of those first four books…

Thought about trying them too but think I’d need a buddy again. Did you enjoy them?

I’m having mostly mixed thoughts… I do love the story, but sometimes the descriptions are so long and there are so many different characters that it becomes confusing. With each chapter focusing on a different character it’s quite easy to read it in between other books though… That’s how I finish the last two, and I’m still deciding on when to start the fifth.

I may stick to the show 🙂

The show doesn’t follow the books exactly, but it’s definitely way more entertaining. I’ve seen all five seasons and I think I actually like the TV series better than the books. (Although I do prefer the original plot of the book in some things.)

I find if done well fantasy does often work better on screen but then I often struggle to picture things described in books.

Hopefully I will have more time to read next month, because I want to properly sit down to continue reading Outlander. Somehow reading just a few pages at the time doesn’t feel right with this one. Happy reading and thanks for hosting! 🙂
