#WWWWednesday: 9 September 2026

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?

Well, the past week was a lot so unsurprisingly, I’ve finished reading nothing since last Wednesday. 😮‍💨

I’m still going with my two buddy reads with Leslie and Chris. We slowed down because of me—sorry, friends!—but now we’re back to reading 🙂

The Second Death of Locke ⇢ (56%) ⇢ This is definitely a slow-burn but I love how things have been unfolding. There’s something about the writing is so evocative and poignant. It’s giving serious sad girl autumn vibes loaded with a heap of yearning. It is so peak and their chemistry is absolutely incendiary. I adore it! I also feel like what’s coming after where I’m currently at is going to be bad bad, and I don’t know if I’m ready for it! 💀
Malice ⇢ (83%) ⇢Talking about things getting bad bad, I’m in the thick of everything going to hell in this book. Holy granola, I forgot how Gwynne does not hold back from throwing it all at you and I’m stressed! (Reader stressed, you know?) I just need my main people to be safe, please. I also need the baddies to SUFFER like they’ve never suffered before and will never suffer again cos they’ll be dead! 😤 (✨sorry, I’m deep in my feels✨)

I’ve got another read coming up but let’s see where the mood takes me!

^{Espíritu by Aiden Thomas, The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion, Vol. 2 by Beth Brower, The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins, When The Tides Held the Moon by Venessa Vida Kelley, Our Wives Under the Sea by Julia Armfield}

What are you currently reading? I hope you’re enjoying whatever book you’ve picked up, friends!

Your description of the writing as evocative in The Second Death of Locke really makes me want to pick it up! I have a lovely Illumicrate copy sitting in my house lol.

Glad to see you’re enjoying The Second Death of Locke, I totally get what you mean about it having Autumn vibes. I’ve just managed to snag an arc of Gwynne’s upcoming release and I’m excited and not at all ready for the emotional rollercoaster again lol.
