WWW Wednesday: June 1, 2022

Well hello, beautiful people! I’m sorry for my extended absence. I was having some problems with the blog that seem to be resolved now, and once that was taken care of I decided to take the rest of the month off. On the downside, no posts. On the upside, I read 17 books last month. Go me.

But enough of that. It’s WWW Wednesday! It’s the day when we answer the three W’s: What are you currently reading? What did you recently finish reading? What do you think you’ll read next? It’s hosted by Sam at Taking on a World of Words but was previously hosted by MizB at A Daily Rhythm.

What are you currently reading?

Wicked Beauty by Katee Robert

This is the third book in the Dark Olympus series by Katee Robert. This particular book is based around Helen of Troy. In this book, she happens to be the sister of the reigning Zeus and he offers her hand in marriage to whomever completes the tasks to become the next Ares. It’s off to a little bit of a slower start than the others, but I’m still enjoying it, so I’m going to keep reading.

What did you recently finish reading?

Electric Idol by Katee Robert

This was the second book in the Dark Olympus series. This one is the story of Eros and Psyche. In this one, Eros is Aphrodite’s hit man and is ordered by his jealous mother to kill Psyche, so naturally, he marries her instead. I really enjoyed this one and finished it, not even in one day, but in like four hours!

What do you think you’ll read next?

Delusion In Death by J.D. Robb

This would be the 35th entry in the In Death series. This one deals with mass delusions as cause of death. Woosh. Of course, I also have two books from the library checked out so I should probably try to read those first…

And that’s it! I’ll have a reading wrap up for the month coming soon so you can see what all 17 of those books are. Just a hint…In Death takes up a lot of those spaces.

Hello beautiful people! It’s the middle of the week! How is yours going so far? Mine is going pretty well. I’ve gotten some work done at home and I am excited for the rest of the week. Possibly trying to go see Everything Everywhere All At Once again. That movie is absurd but amazing. I loved it.

Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldtree

Okay, so I started this book yesterday, and it’s good. It’s a cozy fantasy story about an Orc who decides she’s had enough of her life and just wants to open a café. The only problem is that my copy of the book has holes in it! It’s a self published book and I don’t want to hurt the authors sales, but I don’t want to keep a damaged copy. I know it’s available on Kindle Unlimited, but I want to own this one. Oh well…the moral dilemma.

The Impossible Us by Sarah Lotz

So I have a review of this one coming up tomorrow. This book is complicated for me. Very complicated.

Visions in Death by J.D. Robb

This marks book nineteen and month four of the re-read. I’m really having a lot of fun with the re-read, and I’m glad I’m not trying to keep such a brutal pace like I was back in February.

What will you read next?

Survivor In Death by J.D. Robb

I remember this being on of my favorites in the series, so it has that to live up to. Here’s hoping!

Hello beautiful people! How are we this fine Wednesday? I’m constantly being interrupted by my cat. She keeps walking on the keyboard. I’m going to need to get her her own computer to sit at so she won’t sit at mine.

Divided In Death by J.D. Robb

I just started this yesterday! I’m excited to get back to the In Death re-read with this, the eighteenth book in the series.

So This is Ever After by F.T. Lukens

I finished this a few days ago and if I may say, what a treat this was! I fully enjoyed getting swept up in the story. This tale asks the question “what happens after the prophecy is fulfilled?”.

What do you think you’ll read next?

Saint Death’s Daughter by C.S.E. Cooney

I received this arc a while ago and haven’t read it yet. My bad. I’m starting it this week!

All The Feels by Olivia Dade

I started this as an audiobook, and I’m really enjoying the narrator, Kelsey Navarro. But I also have the physical copy should my need to finish it faster hit me. it’s really good.

So This is Ever After by F.T. Lukens

I just started this last night, so I can’t form an opinion yet, but I have high hopes! Also, they don’t tell you that the back of this book is just as stunning as the front!

What did you recently finish reading?

Act Your Age, Eve Brown by Talia Hibbert

I really enjoyed listening to this entire series on audiobook. They were all so good, and I found a lot of things that I can relate to in this book. But I loved this entry into the series. It was such a good ending. TV Show writers wish they could end a series this well.

What do you think you’ll read next?

Divided in Death by J.D. Robb

This is the 18th book in the In Death series. Eve must solve a murder. Gasp!

And there ya go. My reads! What will you be reading next?

WWW Wednesday: March 9, 2022

Well hello, beautiful people! It’s Wednesday! I’m planning to spend the day reading. I have fallen woefully behind in my reading, with ARCs that need to be read, and book club deadlines coming up here shortly. Must read more!

I’m also have “I will not go on TikTok. I will not go on TikTok.” repeating in my head.

Get a Life, Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert

I am listening to this as an audiobook (narrated by Adjoa Andoh) and I am loving it so far. I’m loving the representation in this book. It’s not often you see a chronically ill protagonist, and I love that it’s not just mentioned and then forgotten.

Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi

I just started this ARC the other day and am not very far into it. It has a very interesting premise. It takes during the Covid lockdown of 2020 and the main character takes an UberEats type job. It lands him in all sorts of shenanigans.

What did you recently finish reading?

Nothing. Sorry, y’all. The last book I picked up I DNF’d and that was back in February.

What will you read next?

Purity In Death by J.D. Robb

The fifteenth installment in the In Death series. It will be good to pick up where I left off!

Well hello, beautiful people! I hope you are staying dry and warm today! It’s a balmy 27 degrees here today, with some freezing rain coming our way this evening. So we are expecting power outages and runs on the grocery store. I myself am hoping to not have to leave the house at all. Because today is cold.

The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood

I started this book last night, made it 100 pages in, and I have decided I love it already. This fake dating story started its life as a Reylo fanfic and if you look close enough, there are some hints at that early beginning. It’s great.

Betrayal In Death by J.D. Robb

This is the twelfth installment in the In Death series. I am plugging along quite nicely in my re-read. I enjoyed this book, as I have all the others, and love seeing it when someone from Roarke’s past shows up.

Seduction In Death by J.D. Robb

I pulled it off the shelf last night so I would be prepped and ready to go for when I finished The Love Hypothesis. I figure a nice, gruesome murder will be a nice change of pace, you know, from all the other books about murder I’ve been reading this month.

Hello beautiful people! It’s the middle of the week! Huzzah! I don’t know why I’m excited about this, but I am. So we shall just go with that. I still have a whole lot of stuff I would like to accomplish this week. Has anyone seen Moonfall yet? It looks like a fantastic mess. I want to see that before the week is out!

But because it’s Wednesday it means it’s WWW Wednesday!

The Soulmate Equation by Christina Lauren

I started the audiobook for this yesterday. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it is narrated by Broadway’s Patti Murin! And she’s going a good job with this book! I’m only a few chapters in though, so I’m still withholding judgment.

Mickey7 by Edward Ashton

I started this book a few days ago and I’m slowly making my way through it. It reminds me a lot of The Martian in the style of writing. I should have a review up for it in a couple of days.

Loyalty in Death by J.D. Robb

I finished this one last night. This particular entry has one of my favorite endings in the series. No, I won’t spoil it. I mean, for the ninth book in the series, it should have a really good ending eventually.

Witness in Death by J.D. Robb

The tenth book in the In Death series is next up. I don’t even remember what this one is about. I’m going to guess a crime of some kind takes place, probably murder, and our protagonist has to solve it with the help of her crime-fighting team. Just a hunch.

Well hello! And how are we doing today? After not having the spoons to deal with pretty much all of yesterday I am back and rearing to go. By the way, if you haven’t heard of spoon theory, check it out. It’s a great way for people with chronic illnesses to describe their health. I don’t have a chronic illness, but I am neurodivergent, and my mental health can take a toll on my physical health, so I do use spoon theory.

But today is all about the three W’s!

Holiday in Death by J.D. Robb

I just started this today, so I’m only a few pages into it. It’s the story of Eve and Roarke’s first holiday together! Of course, there is also a murder, involving Santa of course, to solve. I forsee that I am going to love it, just like the rest of the series.

What did you recently finish reading?

Neon Gods by Katee Robert

A retelling of the Hades and Persephone myth with a dark and spicy twist. It was highly touted on the book side of TikTok (a very dangerous place!) and I thought I would give it a try. I was not disappointed, which surprised me.

Conspiracy in Death by J.D. Robb

The eighth book in the In Death series sees Eve pitted against a mysterious serial killer, and her job is on the line. From what I remember it will be a fun ride!

Spoiler Alert by Olivia Dade

Another book the internet made me buy. But honestly, how could I resist? A plus-sized protagonist and our main characters write fanfic. Yup, this book was meant for me.

Hmm, all my book covers seem to match this week. I did not do that on purpose, I swear.

Hello beautiful people! Today is Groundhog Day here in America. It’s a day built on superstition. Basically, if the groundhog sees its shadow, we get more winter. Lots of people get a kick out of it, and Punxsutawney Phil (the aforementioned groundhog) is a national celebrity. He’s also adorable, so that helps.

On to the W’s!

Ceremony In Death by J.D. Robb

I started reading this one last night. These books are short (usually around 300 pages) and make for quick and fun reads. It’s the 5th book in the In Death series. I am really enjoying myself in this readthrough. I can’t remember the trigger warnings for this book, but I recommend looking them up.

A Master of Djinn by P. Djeli Clark

I just started this one. And yes, I’m trying to read this while I’m reading the In Death series. You will see that a lot. At this point, I have no opinion of this book, I’m only a few pages into it, but I have high hopes!

What did you recently finish reading?

Rapture In Death by J.D. Robb

I loved this book (go figure). In it, Eve is investigating the apparent suicide of a defense attorney who, it seems, loves his life. This tale has trigger warnings for suicide, mentions of rape, and mentions of child abuse.

Vengeance In Death by J.D. Robb

I am not surprised that I am reaching for this one next, as it is book six in the series. You’ll be seeing these for a while. Sorry (not sorry) about that.

The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood

I caved and bought it. It should be here today, in fact. It is extremely hyped, so I hope it is able to fulfill my expectations. I’ve also heard it’s supposed to be a little funny, so here’s hoping!

What side do you stand on? Do you hope the groundhog sees his shadow and thus the rest of us will suffer because we don’t like winter weather? Or are you optimistic that it will be a cloudy day and Phil will miss out on this time and winter will be over early? Enquiring minds want to know.

Fan Fiction by Brent Spiner

This book is proving to be full of references to the noir films of old. I’m having a good time reading it thus far, which is good because I had high expectations for this one.

Servant Mage by Kate Elliott

I recently reviewed this book. Like Monday recently. Truth be told I wasn’t a big fan. I didn’t DNF it, but it was a close one. You can read more about my thoughts and feelings here.

A Master OF Djinn by P. Djeli Clark

This one just came through on my library app, so I guess I am reading it next! I had other bookish plans, but life doesn’t always work out the way you expect it to. I have high hopes for this one too, as it has garnered all the praise from all the people! Well, not all the people.
