Hi everyone! I thought I would participate in WWW Wednesday today. This meme is hosted by Sam over at Taking on a World of Words. You can link your blog post to Sam’s website that way we can interact and find other bloggers =)
The questions are:
1. What are you currently reading?
2. What did you recently finish reading?
3. What do you think you’ll read next?
what are you currently reading?
I am currently reading A Court of Wings and Ruin (ACOTAR #3) by Sarah J. Maas. This is the third book in the A Court of Thorns and Roses “trilogy”.. quotation marks because there will be more books added into this world but with different characters..let’s see how that goes. So far I am LOVING this and I am so happy that I’m reading about some of my favorite characters again because I missed them so much. After the ending of A Court of Mist and Fury, this third one was long overdue. I will not be adding the synopsis because I don’t want to spoil anyone. But you should definitely check out A Court of Thorns and Roses if you haven’t because its a New Adult Fantasy with romance and faeries and magic!
what did you recently finish reading?
i recently finished Afterlife by Melissa Jennings. it is a dark poetry book! i love love loved it and i cannot wait to read more by this author! i have a mini poetry review for it here.
Synopsis from Goodreads:
“The sun does not rise when you need it most. You rise instead.”
Afterlife is a collection of poetry about catharsis, self-love, and self-revolution. Afterlife is a journey from the darkness to the light again, and again, and again.
what do you think you’ll read next?
there are two books that i know for certain i will be reading next! just depends on how quickly i finish A Court of Wings and Ruin since one of these books comes out this Tuesday. these are the two:
Eliza and Her Monsters by Francesca Zappia
Synopsis from Goodreads:
Eighteen-year-old Eliza Mirk is the anonymous creator of Monstrous Sea, a wildly popular webcomic, but when a new boy at school tempts her to live a life offline, everything she’s worked for begins to crumble.
In the real world, Eliza Mirk is shy, weird, smart, and friendless. Online, Eliza is LadyConstellation, the anonymous creator of a popular webcomic called Monstrous Sea. With millions of followers and fans throughout the world, Eliza’s persona is popular. Eliza can’t imagine enjoying the real world as much as she loves her digital community. Then Wallace Warland transfers to her school, and Eliza begins to wonder if a life offline might be worthwhile. But when Eliza’s secret is accidentally shared with the world, everything she’s built—her story, her relationship with Wallace, and even her sanity—begins to fall apart. With pages from Eliza’s webcomic, as well as screenshots from Eliza’s online forums.
Our Dark Duet (Monsters of Verity #2) by Victoria Schwab
Since this book is the second in a duology, I will not be posting the synopsis since I do not want to spoil anything again lol! But This Savage Song was amazing and I really cannot wait to read Our Dark Duet! Schwab has not disappointed me, I NEED THIS!
and that is it for this post! what are you currently reading or reading next? are any of these books on your radar? i would love to chat in the comments!

Oh I am so glad you’re currently loving ACOWAR Gretchen. I had to read that pretty much as soon as it was released and as soon as I got my hands on a copy and I loved it. I thought it was a perfect ending to Feyre and Rhys’s story but I still can’t wait for the next book SJM releases.
Also I am so excited that Our Dark Duet is being released soon. That’s going to be a book I start as soon as I get my copy in my hands because I have loved everything V.E. Schwab has written to date and I think this book is going to be amazing as well.
I’ve heard a lot of good things about Eliza and Her Monsters so I hope you enjoy that one too. I’ll be on the look out for your reviews for these books! 😀 ❤

eeeeeeeeeeeeek thank you so so so much! omg you just got me super hyped for all three of these books! ACOWAR is amazing and I am in love with Rhys and The Night Court, I can never get tired of them! I actually have heard mixed things with ACOWAR but since I’m loving it, maybe I’ll lean on the love side of it all lol.
Lilly and I are trying to do an incognito buddy read for Our Dark Duet so I’m hoping we get to it next week too because the ending of This Savage Song is still lingering in my soul lol.
I hope you’re having a great day ❤

I’ll admit I heard some mixed things about ACOWAR as well but I really loved it so I’m hoping you finish this book and love it just as much! 😀
I’ll keep my fingers crossed you do both get it then, I’m going to need to re-read This Savage Song before starting the second book but I get what you mean about that ending!
Thanks Gretchen, I hope you’re having a great day too! 😀 ❤️

I’m actually boycotting the ACOTAR series even though I loved the first book; the wait for the unpublished sequels is just too painful. 😉 And I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy of Our Dark Duet! I LOVED the first book and have been waiting for book two ever since. Happy reading! ❤
