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 reading The One-In-A-Million Boy by Monica Wood as I was craving another dose of contemporary… With the speed I’m reading right now, I’ll probably ended up finishing it before this post goes live haha. I’m also starting (finally!) Pet Sematary by Stephen King, a title I’ve been wanting to read for a while and decided to pick up so I can watch the movie afterwards.

  • WHAT DID YOU RECENTLY FINISH READING?

1. From Twinkle, With Love by Sandhya Menon (2/5 stars) REVIEW 03/05
I really enjoyed When Dimple Met Rishi back when I read it, and I’ve been wanting to try more of Sandhya Menon‘s books ever since. I was craving a cute contemporary, so I decided to pick up From Twinkle, With Love on a whim as I thought it would be exactly the story I needed at the time. I guess I was wrong! Between the high school cliches, love square, despicable behavior of Twinkle and the writing sounding too forced, I really struggled reaching that final page… Oh yes, From Twinkle, With Love definitely didn’t have that spark for me.

2. The Creak On The Stairs by Eva Björg Ægisdóttir (4,5/5 stars) BLOG TOUR REVIEW 09/05
Look out for my review during my stop of the blog tour next month!!

3. Danny The Champion Of The World by Roald Dahl (3,5/5 stars) NO REVIEW
I won’t be writing a full review for Danny The Champion Of The World… I’ve been slowly going through the books of one of my favorite childhood authors, Roald Dahl, rereading old favorites as well as some stories I missed when I was little. I did read Danny The Champion Of The World a couple times when I was little, and although it’s not my favorite I remember still enjoying the story quite a lot. It’s not as fantastical as some of his other stories, but I liked the relationship between father and son and the ‘secret’ and creative poaching ideas. It’s definitely a fun story for kids to read.

4. The Guest Cat by Takashi Hiraide (2/5 stars) REVIEW 08/05
I’ve been curious about this title ever since I finished The Travelling Cat Chronicles last year and saw it recommended under similar Japanese fiction titles… I think it’s no secret that I’m a huge catlover, so I was looking forward to dive into some cat infused fiction again. It’s easy to say that I ended up to be quite quite disappointed by The Guest Cat instead.

5. Good Samaritans by Will Carver (5/5 stars) REVIEW 05/05
It had been a while since my last 5 star read, and I really needed a story to completely blow my socks off again… I turned to my Orenda backlist and I couldn’t have picked better! Good Samaritans is dark, sexy and utterly disturbing; a complex and well written story that grabbed me from the start and was pitch black and twisted to the core. Say hello to a new favorite! I just can’t wait to read the sequel now.

  • WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’LL READ NEXT?

May is around the corner which means I need to focus on my ARCs again… I’m planning on reading my three remaining May ARCs next. First up is Swipe Right by Stephie Chapman, and then it’s two blog tour reads with Ash Mountain by Helen Fitzgerald and This Is How I Lied by Heather Gudenkauf. I will also read my latest TBR jar pick Reconstructing Amelia by Kimberly McCreight somewhere in between.
