#WWWWednesday: 27 September 2023

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:

  1. What did you read last?
  2. What are you currently reading?
  3. What will you read next?

Since last Wednesday, I’ve finished three books. Let’s just say that it’s a very random mix! ๐Ÿ˜‚

A Prayer for Vengeance by Leanne Schwartz โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜†โ˜†
This wasn’t a bad read but maybe my 3-star review skewed a bit too much on the negative. I really loved the rep and I thought the setting was great. It’s action-packed but it often also felt too slow of a read. Overall, it wasn’t bad and I’d recommend it to anyone who’s interested in the premise because it does deliver on it!

Sweet Addiction by J. Daniels โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜†โ˜†
I have very mixed feelings about this one. If youโ€™re looking for a no-thoughts-just-smut-vibes type of romance then look no further because there is great chemistry, lots of angst and all the steam! Itโ€™s definitely the kind of book that you shouldnโ€™t take too seriously and that you shouldnโ€™t think too hard about. Itโ€™s very horny and over the top, especially with the characterisations.

Alex Wise vs. the End of the World by Terry J. Benton-Walker โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…ยฝ
Benton-Walker is a new-to-me author and I really enjoyed his MG debut. This was emotional, action-packed, intense, and so entertaining. I couldn’t put it down (until I had to because work, boo). I loved the sibling bond between Alex and Mags, the best friendships, and the found family vibes. I also adored Alex’s journey toward loving and accepting himself. A great read and recommendation for readers of all ages!

I’m honestly a little bit all over the place with my reading right now because my mood has been a bit wonky with work being quite busy and stressful and my struggle to get to sleep (and then stay asleep) every night. I’m mood-reading on hard mode right now, lol.

  • The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches โ†’ 24% โ†’ It’s finally happening! Tomorrow is a public holiday in Indonesia and I can’t wait to lose myself in this book cos I’m already loving it! ๐Ÿ˜
  • Shades of Magic Vol. 1: The Steel Prince โ†’ 30% โ†’ I literally saw this GN on KU 1 hour ago and immediately started reading it and of course, immediately fell in love with it.
  • Heartbreaker โ†’ 18% โ†’ I didn’t end up coming back to this yet but I hope to this weekend (mood dependent)

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!

  1. Sweet Addiction is one of that series I think gets better as it goes along, if I’m remembering it correctly. Honestly, it’s my least favorite book/series of hers. I prefer her other two over that one. They are much better.
    I hope you continue to love Mandanna’s book!

    • Ooh, okay, that’s good to know. Maybe I’ll return to it if I ever find my mood feeling funky and need something random to pick up. Is this her best series or do you have recs for her other series? I didn’t mind her writing just some things didn’t really age well, I think. I *am* loving Mandanna’s book thoughโ€”it’s SO sweet and giving me all the feels ๐Ÿฅน

  4. It’s funny what you wrote for Witches because I gasped with excitement when I saw the book under currently reading. I am so happy to hear you are enjoying it. Prepare your heart for explosions because it’s such a sweet, feel-good story
