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 Wednesday, I finished two books.
Bombshell (Hell’s Belles #1) by Sarah MacLean ★★★★½
I’ve finally read Sarah MacLean and holy schnitzel, I loved it! 😍 This was such a fun, sexy and smart romp and I can’t wait to read more about these rebellious and powerful women who are here to take down the nasty greedy men of the ton. Sesily and Caleb were a fantastic couple who had incendiary chemistry and a deliciously angsty romance full of pining, and that had me feeling giddy with delight!
Northranger by Rey Terciero, illustrated by Bre Indigo ★★★★½
I don’t know how I didn’t realise this graphic novel was a Northanger Abbey retelling but I loved it! It was spooky, it was funny but it was also heartbreaking and realistic, too. I can’t lie—I cried! 😂 My heart went out to these characters who struggled to be themselves in a place they love and call home because people are racist and bigoted and refuse to know any better. Definitely recommended for beautiful art and a touching story!
- A Prayer for Vengeance → 41% → I’m enjoying this but I’m also finding it quite a slog! There’s something about the writing that’s making each scene feel slow and a bit dull when it should be exciting, tense, and action-packed.
- Heartbreaker → 18% → I was already loving this but had to put it down to focus on my tour read (👆🏽) and I can’t wait to pick it back up again! SOON. 😍
Yeah, I didn’t end up returning to Kate Daniels thanks to the Hell’s Belles… But I will!
What are you currently reading? Have you read any of these books or are they also on your TBR? Happy reading, friends!

I’ve been wanting to read Northranger so bad, but none of the bookstores or libraries in my area have it in stock. I might just have to turn to Amazon to get it. It sounds so good!

Do you know I have never read Northanger Abbey, but that was the first book that popped into my head when I saw the title of that graphic novel. I love that these two books are so highly rated by you. MacLean is so popular with the historic romance crowd, and I am delighted your first foray into her work was a good one.

I read it so long ago and I don’t remember many of the details except I do remember being thoroughly spooked by the gothic vibes and Northranger really delivered on that. 😂 I’m so glad that I enjoyed my first MacLean and I hope I continue enjoying her historical romances cos they’ve been highly anticipated reads for me!

It was great and I definitely recommend it! It was more gothic and emotional than I expected (in the best way, obviously, lol) 😍

I felt the same about A Prayer for Vengeance! It could have been shortened and had more action.

It definitely could’ve been shortened. It was admittedly a bit of a slog to get through 😅
