WWW Wednesday #13

WWW Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by MizB over @Should Be Reading. To join in all you have to do is answer the three following questions:
  • What are you currently reading?
  • What did you recently finish?
  • What do you think you'll read next? 



Here are my answers for the week! Please live a comment below with a link to your WWW Wednesday posts :) I love to see what you're all doing reading wise this week!

  • What are you currently reading?
I'm reading Shadow of Night the sequel to Deborah Harkness' A Discovery of Witches and the second book in the All Souls Trilogy. I'm about 3/4 of the way through and completely enjoying it. I loved the first book despite not really enjoying the paranormal genre and now I am completely hooked. I was lucky to get a copy off netgalley and it is also the first book I'm reading as part of the Review Copy Cleanup August challenge. I can't wait to see what the ending will be, hopefully not to much of a cliffhanger!




  • What did you recently finish?
I read Sparks' new book The Best of Me. It was a good read, a bit of light-hearted fluff. I enjoyed the story but did find it a little predicatable and kind of guessed what would happen about half way through. It wasn't one of his best books and was a little disappointed but knew that I was getting myself into. I'm a fan of his books but I only read them when I need to fill in a few reading gaps before reading much bigger, complex books. I also read a few of the short stories from July's Lightspeed magazine and really enjoyed a few of them. I've now subscribed to the magazine so I will get to read a load of short stories every month.

  • What do you think you'll read next?
I cannot wait to read this book. It is going to be amazing (well I hope so!). I'm not sure though whether to buy the four novellas first and read them before getting into the main novel. Any ideas? I've heard some great stuff about Throne of Glass and I nearly fainted when I saw that I my request on netgalley had been approved. Yay!

  4. I didn't read (and still haven't read) the novella's for Throne of Glass. I didn't feel like I was missing anything by not reading them, but that might change after I read them. I hope you'll enjoy throne of Glass as much as everyone else has, including me. =)

    WWW Wednesday =)
