Every Wednesday we are linking up with WWW Wednesday. WWW Wednesday is hosted at Taking on a World of Words and asks 3 questions: What are you currently reading?, What did you recently finish reading? What do you think you'll read next?
Our post is up a tiny bit late this week because it's my birthday and so I've been a bit distracted! But I've had a great birthday and my family have been amazing!

Currently Reading:
I am currently reading Cress which I only just started but so far it is amazing. I am also reading A Tale of Two Cities which I am still really enjoying and I have recently started reading Grace and Style which is so funny.
Recently Finished:
I have recently finished Lady Midnight which not only did I really enjoy but also I read it faster than Clare did which is a miracle. I also recently finished These Vicious Masks and Scarlet both of which I loved.
Next I am planning on reading The Girl From Everywhere and Starflight and also I am hoping to read Passenger. All of these books I am very excited to read but I am most excited about Passenger and I should finish a few books this week as I have been of school ill because I have felt very dizzy and sick.

Recently Finished:
The first book I finished this week was (somewhat reluctantly) Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare. It's quite a long book but there is action and humour and characters that I loved so it went far too fast and now I am left waiting impatiently for the next book! I then read Grace and Style which was really easy to read, I flew through it in two sittings and loved it, it was full of her humour and some emotional things - I think I even liked it more than Grace's Guide! And then I finally read Stars Above which was predictably bitter-sweet. I loved being back in the world but as always I wanted more! I finished this in one sitting and really enjoyed it - especially the last story but I will always want more from these characters! Starflight was a lot of fun, it got off to a fairly slow start but once things really got going I was hooked and I adored the romance and the characters. I enjoyed The Girl From Everywhere although I am not massively clear on how the time travel elements worked. I am excited for the series to continue and to see what shenanigans the crew get into!
I completely agree about The Girl from Everywhere! It's fun, as long as you don't think too hard about the time travel which was confusing in places and I wasn't convinced by how certain characters' timelines were supposed to overlap... Oh well, it was still enjoyable!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad Ann's enjoying Cress. I think it might be my favourite in The Lunar Chronicles series.
Thank for visiting my WWW post earlier (https://clairehuston.wordpress.com/2016/03/16/www-wednesday-16th-march-2016/) and happy reading!
Yeah, I wasn't fully convinced by some of Nix's worries about changing the past but then there were some consequences that weren't even considered. Dodgy time travel but a fun plot!
DeleteCress is definitely my favourite - possibly because Cress and Thorne are my favourite characters!
I've got The Girl From Everywhere in my TBR. And I need to read the Lunar Chronicles, too.
ReplyDeleteYou definitely do! I really like the Lunar Chronicles series and I am so glad Ann is enjoying them! I enjoyed The Girl From Everywhere, hope you do too!
DeleteI think it's so fun that you two share a blog and pass book recommendations back and forth. I can't find a real-life friend who has the same taste as me. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'd love doing the blog as much as I do if Ann wasn't doing it with me, although I sometimes feel guilty for shoving so many of my favourite books at her! She'd need years to read them!
DeleteGreat range of books that you've read this week/planning to read in the coming week. I hope you have a fab bookish week. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I hope you do too!
DeleteGrace & Style - something I need at times. Happy reading!

It's a great book, I definitely recommend it.
DeleteLike the sound of Passenger and love the cover...shallow I know! I'm intrigued by Dorothy Must Die and whether I would enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my WWW - http://bookboodle.co.uk/2016/03/16/www-wednesday-march-16th :)
Oh I am a definite cover lust person as well so I will enjoy displaying Passenger! I am nervous about Dorothy Must Die because I've heard mixed things but it sounds like something I will enjoy so fingers crossed!
