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 managed to finish four books.
(ARC) It’s All In How You Fall by Sarah Henning ★★★★☆ (rounded up)
This was a really cute summery sports-heavy YA contemporary with a super sweet romance and all the feel-good vibes! Check out my review
(KU) A Governess Should Never… Deny A Duke (The Governess Chronicles #2) by Emily Windsor ★★★★☆
Isabelle and Rhys have such great tension and I loved the mystery of their characters. The Welsh castle setting on the cliffs by the sea was gothic in its atmosphere and the secondary characters were such a fun and entertaining addition to the story. Isabelle and Rhys were both romantics at heart and oof, they had some heartpounding swoontastic moments!
Seatmate (Love Lines #3) by Cara Bastone ★★★★★
I’m obsessed. If all audiobooks were this good (for me personally) I would gobble them up. This was an adorable romance and damn you, Cara Bastone, how the hell am I ever gonna find a Sam IRL? I loved Sam 🥹 The chemistry, THE BANTER, everything about these two was perfection! If you can’t tell, I highly recommend this audiobook!
(ARC) Violet Made of Thorns (Violet Made of Thorns #1) by Gina Chen ★★★★☆
Wow, talk about a fast-paced, intriguing and sharply written fantasy! I really enjoyed Violet Made of Thorns and devoured it faster than even I anticipated. Violet was a great morally grey MC but even the secondary characters were intriguing! Plus, the romance? Talk about true enemies-to-lovers! Were they gonna kiss or kill each other? Who knew and I WAS HOOKED. I thought the ending was rushed but inevitable and I kinda need the next book now please?!
I picked up Fake Empire by C.W. Farnsworth earlier today and since it was a rare day where I had quite a lot of reading time, I’ve sped through and am now at 65%? I love a good marriage-of-convenience romance and the angst in this has been on point! I love Scarlett and Crew 😍 They’re such alpha boss characters but I love how soft they can be together. Melting!
What’re you currently reading? Have you read any of these books or are they also on your TBR? Happy reading, friends! 😍

yay, four books!! I’m so glad that we enjoyed Violet Made of Thorns! We had struggled a bit with our buddy reads and not having the best books?? lol. Want to read Seven Days this weekend?? I have a crap ton of arcs but I’ve only been reading arcs and need something different for a minute! I hope you have a fantastic week, Dini! ❤

Yeah, we have struggled a bit with our buddy reads from June onwards, I feel… But I’m hoping that’s just a random weird phase because literally everything in life was happening at the same time 😂 I hope that Seven Days is going to be a hit for us—I’m really enjoying it so far! I hope you’re having a fantastic week as well, Leslie 💜

Yeah, I think it’s just been the fact we are so busy and kind of in a weird reading mood. I’m thinking that Seven Days is going to be an awesome read for us!! I sure hope so, anyways. I’m really enjoying it so far. 🙂

I’ve seen several books by C.W. Farnsworth lately that have caught my eye but I know nothing about her writing or even anyone who has read her. I’ll be really interested to see what you think of Fake Empire!

I had my eye on Seat Mate. I don’t have audible, so I would have to settle for the book. You gushing over it proves how much I would enjoy it.

Ooh, I’m not even sure if Bastone has it out as a book… 🤔 And I don’t know if it’ll hit as hard if not on audio BUT I hope it does because I loved it so much! 💜 I hope you enjoy it if you do find it, Sam!
