It’s Wednesday, so time for a new WWW Wednesday to talk about my reading progress and plans. I really love these posts and talking more about what I’m reading before the monthly wrap up. Even if my reading plans change I like thinking about what I’m going to read!
So it’s time for my next WWW Wednesday. This is a weekly meme hosted by Taking On a World of Words and you participate by simply answering three questions:
- What did you recently finish reading?
- What are you currently reading?
- What do you think you’ll read next?
What did you recently finish reading?

Mistletoe Meet Cute – Bella Matthews
I’ve officially started my holiday reading. Mistletoe Meet Cute is a brother’s teammate/nanny romance. I had a smile on my face while reading this one and I couldn’t put it down. Holly and Camden had such a great connection from the start and I just needed them to be together. This was less than 200 pages and I honestly would’ve loved a 500 page book about these two.

The Honeycrisp Orchard Inn – Valerie Bowman
The weather is getting cooler here and a cozy fall read sounded like just what I needed. The Honeycrisp Orchard Inn seemed like the perfect book for that because it had everything I was looking for in a book like this. A cozy inn, a cute dog, found family, and helping family succeed. That being said, I couldn’t connect with the main character at all. I didn’t really like her and I don’t understand her obsession with dementia. She wonders if her parents or if she herself has dementia so many times it started to get annoying. Also, because I didn’t really like her, I couldn’t really connect with the romance. Thankfully, the fall festival being organized was interesting and some of the side characters. I wish I loved this one more than I did.
What are you currently reading?

Alchemised – SenLinYu
So I never read Manacled, but Alchemised was one I was very curious about. A friend and I are doing a buddy read. At the moment we’re a little over 100 pages in and it’s keeping my attention. It’s still a bit confusing, but I’m intrigued! Alchemised is a 1000 page book, so I’ll be busy for a bit.

Leviathan Wakes – James S.A. Corey
For my in person book club we’re reading Leviathan Wakes. The meeting is this Saturday and I’m 20% in. I don’t read a lot of science fiction, so I’m finding a few things confusing, but I am curious to see where the story goes.
What do you think you’ll read next?

Wisteria – Adalyn Grace
My series slayers group is finishing up the final book in the Belladonna trilogy. Wisteria is the final book, but a novella did just release in this series. I really enjoyed Belladonna and Foxglove, so I’m excited to see how this story wraps up.

Say It Out Loud – Ashley Schumacher
I received an eARC of Say It Out Loud, but I haven’t had the chance to read it. Last week, someone I follow on bookstagram reviewed this book and made me want to drop everything to read this book. I have a feeling it’s going to be a great time!
So that’s my WWW Wednesday for this week! What have you been reading lately? Let me know in the comments. I’d love to hear from you.



You’ve reminded me my book club is next Wednesday and I really need to start the book (The City and Its Uncertain Walls by Haruki Murakami). Oh dear, just looked and it’s 445 pages of very small typeface 🙁
I’ve seen The Mistletoe Meet Cute around. I love the cover!
Enjoy your current reads!
Have a great week!
