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?

It’s another dose of contemporary for me right now with From Twinkle, With Love by Sandhya Menon. I’ve been meaning to try more of her books for a while now! I’m also starting blog tour read The Creak On The Stairs by Eva Bjorg Aegisdottir, which I’ve been looking forward to.

  • WHAT DID YOU RECENTLY FINISH READING?

1. One Summer In Paris by Sarah Morgan (3/5 stars) REVIEW 24/04
Things started out great (and also a lot darker than expected) and there were a lot of things I did love in One Summer In Paris, including the Paris setting and the dynamics and growing relationship between Grace and Audrey as well as the bookshop, French language learning, explaining of dyslexia and alcoholic parents past and even Audrey romance with Etienne. BUT. I absolutely hate it when the cheating/affair element plays a big role in a story.

2. The Girl In The Tree by Sebnem Isiguzel (DNF 11%; 0 stars) DNF REVIEW 28/04
I was actually really looking forward to The Girl In The Tree, as the blurb sounded intriguing and I always love discovering new international authors. I certainly wasn’t expecting to have the reaction I had when I finally started reading it… But it is what it is I guess. I hate DNFing this early in a story and I feel more than guilty, but I just couldn’t take it anymore… More about the reasons why I decided to DNF this early in the upcoming DNF shorties review.

3. The Light Between Oceans by M.L. Stedman (4/5 stars) REVIEW 28/04
I’ve been meaning to pick up The Light Between Oceans for years now. I’m not sure why it took me this long to actually read it, as I’m a big fan of historical fiction and settings that enable me to travel to places I’ve never been… But what I do know is that I regret not reading this story sooner now. The Light Between Oceans is a mostly character driven book with a fascinating setting that gives the story the perfect backdrop to develop both plot and characters. And while there were certain elements/details especially in the second half that started to irk me, I still ended up really enjoying my time with this historical fiction read.

4. Little Whispers by K.L. Slater (3,5/5 stars) REVIEW 07/05
K.L. Slater‘s psychological thrillers are must-reads for me, so having the chance to read two new titles in the same month is definitely a huge bonus. As always the writing is solid and it is without doubt an entertaining read, although I did feel the spark was a bit missing in Little Whispers… Or it might just be that these kind of domestic psychological thrillers are not a good match for me right now.

5. Woven In Moonlight by Isabel Ibañez (4/5 stars) REVIEW 03/05
I admit that it was coverlove at first sight when I first heard about this book, but as soon as I read the blurb I was fully convinced that this story would be for me. I love it when stories incorporate foreign cultures and Woven In Moonlight is filled with Bolivian culture and folklore… It’s a story that mixes real life elements with fantasy and I especially loved the magic incorporated into the story. Another bonus: the dose of romance is pretty mild!

6. What Lies Between Us by John Marrs (4,5/5 stars) REVIEW 30/04
Holy guacamole, what did I just read?! So dark, so twisted, and oh so glorious! I’m a big fan of John Marrs‘ writing and his newest title definitely didn’t disappoint. I have to admit that I saw some of the plot twists coming very early on, but I was too busy devouring this story to really care. What Lies Between Us is a dark dark and oh so disturbing psychological thriller, but apparently just what I needed right now.

  • WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’LL READ NEXT?

I’m taking a little break from ARCs next to focus on my backlist titles again… First up are The Guest Cat by Takashi Hiraide, Pet Sematary by Stephen King and The One-In-A-Million Boy by Monica Wood depending on what I’m in the mood for. My newest TBR jar pick is also up soon: Reconstructing Amelia by Kimberly McCreight.
