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?
Ann:
Currently Reading:
I have only read a few pages of Angel as I then got distracted by Me Before You which I am really enjoying although I am just waiting for it to become sad.
Recently Finished:
Planning to Read Next:
Next I am planning on reading PS I Love You, which Clare wants me to read, and I am excited to read it even though I am not yet sure what it will be about but if Clare liked it then it must be good.
Clare:
Currently Reading:
I have just started reading The Scoundrel and the Debutante by Julia London which is the third book in the Cabot Sisters series. I enjoyed the first two so I am hoping this will be another fun read.
Recently Finished:
The first book I read this week was Love, Come to Me by Lisa Kleypas. This is one of her earliest works and there are some points where the writing is a bit clunky and the plot isn't perfectly set out but I enjoyed the story and liked the characters. And then I finally read Tessa Dare's Spindle Cove series which I loved. I wasn't expecting to enjoy these as much as I did but they were funny and romantic and a lot of fun to read. I also read Romancing the Duke which is the first book in her Castles Ever After series and a great read. I then read a number of library books. A Rake's Midnight Kiss was a compelling story with an intriguing romance and Anna Campbell is a newly discovered author for me. Scandal Wears Satin and Vixen in Velvet are the second and third books in the Dressmakers series and I loved them. I only wish the library had more Loretta Chase books. The one disappointing book for me this week was Seducing the Heiress which I couldn't quite get into. My favourite new discovery of the week was Kasey Michaels' What a Lady Needs which I very much enjoyed - I have already ordered more by her. I also read another Tessa Dare series which was good but not as good, in my opinion, as her Spindle Cove series.
Planning to Read Next:
Hope you're enjoying Me Before You. I liked it a lot.
ReplyDeleteClare: blimey! How many books?!?!?! You're not kidding when you say "romance marathon"! I've only ever read one Regency romance (From Wallflower to Countess by Janice Preston) but it was brilliant. I can see how they'd become addictive :-)
ReplyDeleteI hope Ann enjoys Me Before You. I read it quite a long time ago and thought it was good, although not as life-changing as others made out. It looks like they've done a good job adapting it to film. If I'm lucky, I might get to go and see it next week.
Thanks for visiting my WWW post earlier (https://clairehuston.wordpress.com/2016/06/22/www-wednesday-22nd-june-2016/) and happy reading!
I always read romance novels in one sitting so I tend to cram a lot into a day! I've never read From Wallflower to Countess but its going on my list!
DeleteI'd love to see Me Before You but our local cinema isn't showing it so I may have to wait for the DVD!
Thanks for stopping by my WWW Wednesday earlier!

ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting!
DeleteI have knowing a book will get sad! Keep it chipper. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteMe too! I tend to avoid them because otherwise I spend the whole book waiting to cry!
DeleteAnn, I know what you mean about waiting for Me Before You to become sad. I keep seeing all the publicity for the movie and they seem really keen to impress upon me that it's a huge tearjerker!
ReplyDeleteClare - I am always in awe of how many books you finish in a week!
I cried a lot when I read Me Before You!
DeleteHoly mackerel! You have read a TON of books! Was that in only a week? Cripes! I also love romances, I wouldn't be able to pass them up!
ReplyDeleteI always read Romances really fast! This isn't a normal amount for me to read in a week!
