WWW WEDNESDAYS is a weekly meme hosted by Sam @ Taking On A World Of Words and is all about answering the three questions below.
- WHAT ARE YOU CURRENTLY READING?
I’m currently flying through Deep Dark Night by Steph Broadribb in preparation for my upcoming blog tour stop… It’s so good to meet up with favorite character Lori again! I’m also starting yet another ARC: The Missing Sister by Elle Marr. And of course I’m still reading the Spanish version of the seventh and final Harry Potter book: Harry Potter Y Las Reliquias De La Muerte… I’m currently about a quarter into the book and I’ve already rediscovered so many details I had completely forgotten about!
WHAT DID YOU RECENTLY FINISH READING?
1. Strangers by C.L. Taylor (4,5/5 stars) REVIEW 31/03
I think it’s safe to say that I now have a new favorite C.L. Taylor title. What a read! I’m glad I cleared my schedule before diving into this story, because there was just no way on earth I was going to stop reading before I knew how it would all end. What an absolutely masterful and simply brilliantly constructed psychological thriller!
2. The Body In The Garden by Katharine Schellman (3/5 stars) REVIEW
I loved the historical setting in 1815 London and the final twist was without doubt well played. I did have some issues with The Body In The Garden, including the pace, focus on frivolous high society events and characters, but I also think this might not have been exactly right story for me. If you enjoy character-driven and slower paced cozy mysteries with a historical setting and a hint of crime, you will be in for a treat with The Body In the Garden.
3. Mexico Street by Simone Buchholz (4,5/5 stars) BLOG TOUR REVIEW 23/03
Look out for my review during my stop of the blog tour!
4. The Secret Admirer by Carol Wyer (4/5 stars) REVIEW 20/03
I’m a huge fan of Carol Wyer‘s detective thrillers, and Natalie Ward book number six is without doubt another shocking and solid ride. The writing makes it really easy to keep turning those pages, and I think the bigger focus on Natalie’s private life was definitely needed after that nuclear plot twist bomb in book five. The investigation in this one is intriguing, although I do have to guess I saw the ending coming early on… But the developments in Natalie’s private life are less easy to guess. That said, I will never like David and even the events in The Secret Admirer weren’t enough to make me feel sympathetic towards him… I can’t wait to discover how things will continue for all the main characters in play though.
- WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’LL READ NEXT?
I need a little break from thrillers, so I’ll probably read Love And Other Words by Christina Lauren next. Then I have one March ARC left pending: She Has A Broken Thing Where Her Heart Should Be by J.D. Barker. It’s a big one with almost 800 pages, but I loved his writing in the 4MK books and I just can’t wait to dive into this one. I also want to read my first Rachel Abbott book, And So It Begins, in preparation for the blog tour of the sequel next month… My latest TBR jar pick is still The Way Back To You by Michelle Andreani & Mindi Scott; I’m hoping to read that one soon in between upcoming thrillers.

Oh, I hope you love Love and Other Words💜💜💜

Strangers is not my all time favorite of hers but it scored high with me too! I wasn’t sure if the new J.D. Barker novel would be something for me so I haven’t requested it but I am really curious! Happy reading Yvo!

I still have to catch up with some of her books (including Sleep), so that might explain why Strangers is my favorite so far. And I’m hoping the new J.D. Barker will hit the mark for me, as I too doubted whether it would be for me! If it isn’t, it will be a painful 774 pages haha. Happy reading! xx

I’m so glad to see you’ve read a lot of enjoyable books recently. Thrillers that compel you to keep reading is totally the best book experience you can have! I had that same thing with The Other People but then I didn’t like where it ended up going… such a shame. Have a great week filled with more amazing books 🙂
Here’s my WWW posted on Friday. Better late than never! :p

It’s normally only one or two at the time depending on if it’s a reread or kindle/physical copy… And only if it’s two different genres or I get the two confused haha. Have a great week!
