Hello, hello and welcome back to another episode of WWW Wednesday, a weekly meme hosted by Sam @ Taking On A World of Words, which means I’ll be answering these questions:
- What did you read last?
- What are you currently reading?
- What will you read next?
Since last week I’ve finished three books. I started what felt like a million titles but I put them down almost immediately cos my focus wasn’t holding. I’ve been struggling to sleep and my brain is tired? 😮💨 I think it also shows with the books I read cos while I liked them well enough, they didn’t pull me in the way I was sure they would!
Sin and Ink (Sweetest Taboo #1) by Naima Simone ★★★½
I don’t often read taboo romance but I really enjoyed this one. Simone balances the sexy, angsty and emotional vibes so well! Knox had me weak 🥵
Side Effects (The Prescotts #5) by Tara Wyatt ★★★½
This was my first book by Tara Wyatt and it was a fun friends-to-lovers paramedic romance with two likeable MCs who were slightly kinky and very into dirty talking! 😉
Royal Captive (Fate of Eyrinthia #3) by Heather Frost ★★★½
The third book in the Fate of Eyrinthia series and it’s packed with even more assassination action, kidnappings, political machinations and exciting twists! I found the pacing a bit off at times but still enjoyed taking my time with this one! I’m already ready for the next book and this one isn’t even out yet? *welp*
I started a buddy/group read with Leslie and Julie last night for We Hunt the Flame by Hafsah Faizal! I didn’t make it far before knocking out last night but my interest has definitely been piqued by this beginning. I’m hoping the pace picks up though!
March is a tour heavy month so I’m hoping to shake off this funky mood I’m in!
What’re you currently reading? Have you read any of these books or are they also on your TBR? Happy reading, friends! 😍

Oh no, maybe you need to just spend the upcoming weekend sleeping a lot! Maybe do other things besides reading like gaming or baking? Our current read did pick up a bit but it’s slower than I hoped it would be. I hope today it will pick up and really get going! I hope your mood picks up a bit and you get some sleep! ❤

Aah, I’ve been gaming and it makes me want to stop reading for a bit and keep gaming but I can’t do that 😭😂 Haha, I’m gonna try to pick up a physical book tonight because I think that might do the trick since my ebooks aren’t doing it. This funky mood is defo cos sleep hasn’t been kind to me lol

You have a lot of upcoming books that look awesome! I feel the weird funk/mood lol. I hope you can get some more sleep! I tried We Hunt the Flame but sadly gave it 2 stars. It just never picked up for me.

I’m so excited for many of these ARC reads—they have such great covers and I hope the stories inside are just as amazing lol I hope your funky mood shakes too, Joanna! I had a really rocky start with WHTF but I ended up really loving it though I can defo understand why others might not!

I’m keen to start it soon (hopefully)—mood reading can be so frustrating sometimes!

I hope you have better luck with your current and upcoming reads! I hate when I get in that funk and can’t find anything to please me. I read We Hunt the Flame (I didn’t love it, but I did enjoy it), but I still need to finish the second book. Hope it’s a winner for you!

Thanks, Ali! Mood reading can be so frustrating 😂 I’m gonna try picking up a physical book tonight since my ebooks aren’t doing it for me. WHTF was really tough to get through at first but I was surprised by how much I ended up loving it and I can’t wait to start the second book next month 😃

A Magic Steeped in Poison is my next read – I’m on a blog tour for it. It sounds sooo good!! I hope We Hunt the Flame picks up for you. I’m on pg. 176 and I feel like the pace picked up a bit. Can’t wait to chat about it!

It really was a pretty mediocre reading week, Sam. Sleep also continues to be elusive and it’s not fun… I hope you’ve had a good week though!
