Hi Bookish Friends,
Welcome to my WWW Wednesday!
Hope you’ve had a great week!
I’ve had another busy week, but also a lovely one. I met up with friends, attended a couple of doctor appointments and spent the weekend with my nephews.
In terms of reading it started off a little slow but I managed to get a lot read during appointments. So, without further ado let’s dive right into this weeks reading update!
What is WWW Wednesday?
It’s a weekly meme that I first discovered on Roachies Reviews blog, and that is originally hosted by Taking on a World of Words.
All you have to do is answer 3 simple questions:
What are you currently reading?
What have you recently finished reading?
What do you plan to read next?
I’m currently working my way through 4 books.
Belly Woman by Benjamin Black (eBook): I picked this one up over the weekend. I’m not very far into it but it sounds very interesting. I’m reading this for an upcoming blog tour with Dave @The_WriteReads/@WriteReadsTours and Neem Tree Press.
Where Sleeping Girls Lie by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé (Physical): My library book hold came through at the library. I was planning to pick this up next week, but I only have it on loan for two weeks at the moment, so I had to pick it up sooner. I’ve managed to make good progress and am almost 150 pages in. Although I’m intrigued about where the story is going, I do have some mixed thoughts on it at the moment.
One Small Voice by Santanu Bhattacharya (Physical): I was kindly sent a finished review copy of this by Penguin. I only started this one last night but I seem to be flying through it already and I am liking what I’ve read so far!
Shadows of The Dark Realm by Tyler Edwards (eBook): I didn’t realise how big this book was, but I’m making good steady progress with it. It’s a high fantasy and I’m loving the characters and world building so far!!
The Institution by Helen Fields (Audiobook): I finally managed to tick this off the *Everand Audiobook TBR. I was hooked from the very start and could stop listening to the audiobook. 💙💙💙💙1/2
In Memoriam by Alice Winn (Physical): I was kindly sent a finished review copy by Penguin. This was a little different from what I would usually pick up and while I found this to be an interesting read I did feel it could have been better. I will be sharing a review post soon wso keep an eye out. 💙💙💙
The Good, The Bad, And The Aunties by Jesse Q. Sutanto (Physical): This was another library book hold that came through. I enjoyed this one very much, it was a nice quick read and exactly what I needed over the weekend. 💙💙💙💙
Step Inside My Soul by Nick Curran – I had been looking forward to reading this one after hearing some great things about it, but sadly I only made it to 89 pages before deciding to DNF it. The main reason was because it just felt very slow and honestly even after 89 pages I still hadn’t been pulled in. I might give this another go if the audiobook becomes available at my library.
Next up will hopefully be the Spine Tinglers series by J.A. Kahn. I was kindly sent the series by the author! I’ve wanted to pick this up ever since the ebooks arrived in my email!!
I’d love to hear what you’re currently reading, finished reading or planning to read next, so let me know down below in the comments!! And don’t forget to leave links to your WWW Wednesday if you have one!!

I’ll be waiting for your thoughts on Where Sleeping Girls Lie! Looks interesting, but I’m not sure it’ll be for me. Same goes for Shadows of The Dark Realm–I just finished a slightly chunky high fantasy (The Poppy War) and I’m definitely interested in more. 😀

I had to return Where Sleeping Girls Lie back to the library. I have put another hold on it but probably won’t be getting it back anytime soon. I wasn’t loving it but was still interested enough to see where it was going. I’m almost done with Shadows Of The Dark Realm and loving it!! Oh I loved The Poppy War series, hope you love the rest of the books too!! Happy reading!!
