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 Boy On The Bridge by M.R. Carey as I was left craving a good dystopian read after a recent disappointment… It’s been a while since I last read a physical copy, and I’m really enjoying my time with this story so far! I don’t think I’ll be able to finish it before tomorrow though, as I do seem to read a lot slower with physical copies… xD I also have Dead Perfect by Noelle Holten lined up as my next kindle read.
- WHAT DID YOU RECENTLY FINISH READING?
1. Confessions On The 7:45 by Lisa Unger (3,5/5 stars) BLOG TOUR REVIEW 09/10
Look out for my thoughts during my stop of the blog tour!!
2. A Boy And His Dog At The End Of The World by C.A. Fletcher (2/5 stars) REVIEW
I was fully expecting to find a new favorite, so that’s probably why I felt even more disappointed when I ended up having a completely different reading experience instead. It’s unpopular opinion time again! Don’t get me wrong: I still love the premise of this story and the idea behind this dystopian future as well as its development was interesting. I also like the idea behind Griz’ character and the dogs… But somehow, the actual story just didn’t work for me personally.
3. Dead Wrong by Noelle Holten (4,5/5 stars) REVIEW 05/10
I really enjoyed my time with the first book Dead Inside last year, and I have been looking forward to continue the series ever since… I’m not sure why it took me this long to actually do so, but I guess that in a way I’m kind of glad I did now because that cliffhanger ending is nuclear!! Oh yes, Dead Wrong has the most shocking ending and I will definitely be diving into book three ASAP to find out what happened there.
4. A Heart So Fierce And Broken by Brigid Kemmerer (3,5/5 stars) REVIEW 05/10
I really enjoyed the first book, and I have been looking forward to the sequel… And I ended up really enjoying it despite the slower pace in points! There is a shift in focus on the main characters, but I actually liked spending more time with Grey instead of Rhen. While I did miss Harper, most of the other characters make their appearance and I really liked Lia Mara’s character and what she added to the plot. The ending made me crave book three!
- WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’LL READ NEXT?
I’ve been in the mood for fantasy so I will most likely pick up most anticipated release Across The Green Grass Fields by Seanan McGuire next… Afterwards it’s two pending October blog tour reads with Betrayal by Lilja Sigurdardottir and The Nesting by C.J. Cooke. Next, I’m probably sticking with fantasy again and I’ll finally be picking up The Bear And The Nightingale by Katherine Arden. I’ve been wanting to read this trilogy for years now!!

I hope you love Bear and the Nightingale. It was one of the first books I was ever given to review, and it was to this day probably one of the best. Katherine Arden has such a voice. Happy reading 🙂

So far I’m enjoying it! It’s a bit more sciency and slower than The Girl With All The Gifts, but I’m looking forward to discover where the story will go. xx

Oh, okay. Then I’m going to just read your review and skip reading it myself. That first one was already too sciency and slower for me than I could almost handle even though I enjoyed it.

The Boy On The Bridge is probably too slow and science focused for you then…

I’ve heard good things about The Boy on The Bridge. I feel like dystopian novels are always such a great pick especially after going through disappointing reads. I hope you continue to enjoy it!

I admit that I don’t read dystopian stories all too often, but I’ve been in the mood for fantasy/scifi/dystopia lately and I ended up really enjoying The Boy On The Bridge.
