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 two books. I’m still not reading very much and I contribute that to my overstimulated and stressed-out brain but also to the fact that gaming seems to be what’s working for me right now!
Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries (Emily Wilde #1) by Heather Fawcett ★★★★½
This was just as wonderful, heartwarming, cosy and charming as everyone said it would be! I surprisingly don’t read a lot of books about faeries (I think, lol) but this is undoubtedly a new favourite story about them. It was so different from what I expected but I really loved it and I’m glad I took my time reading it. However, I really didn’t like that abrupt ending! 😂
Caged in Winter (Reluctant Hearts #1) by Brighton Walsh ★★½
I’m very sad to say that this did not work for me and I’m sorely disappointed! I started out rooting for these two but by the end, I was just frustrated with the lack of openness and communication and I wasn’t sold on their romance.
I’ve got two reads on at the minute:
- Tessa Ever After by Brighton Walsh → 75% → I’m so happy to say that I’m enjoying this one so much more than the first in this series. I love this brother’s best friend/friends-to-lovers romance/single parent romance! They’re just so cute together.
- (ARC) Reggie and Delilah’s Year of Falling by Elise Bryant → 50% → I haven’t picked this back up again but I need to!
The magic of ✨mood reading✨ means it could be any of these.
What’re you currently reading? Have you read any of these books or are they also on your TBR? Happy reading, friends! 😍

Yay for finishing two books! And I’m so glad you liked Emily Wilde, though I agree the ending is a bit abrupt. Hopefully the next book in the series is just as good. If you want a sway towards one of the books you might read next, Enchantment of Ravens is quite short! And so sweet. Happy reading!

Ooo, I have Thorn on our list! It’s one we could BR!? You finished two books!! That’s better than nothing. Sometimes it’s good to switch to a different media when your brain is stressed!! Hope you have a wonderful week! 💜

I am glad that it may have just be a blip with the Walsh book. I know I probably would not have continued after a stinker. Hope it stays good

I see THORN pop up all the time in my Kindle recs or wherever, but I haven’t yet read it. I’ll be keeping an eye out for your review if/when you get to it. ENCHANTMENT OF RAVENS is an entertaining romp into YA fantasy–enjoy!

I was also taking my time reading Emily Wilde’s because it kind of forces you to just slow down and read but I took so long my borrowing time was up LOL…so I have to re-borrow the book (it’s an ebook). I was enjoying it though so I hope I can get it back soon. Happy reading Dini!
