WWW Wednesday was originally hosted by A Daily Rhythm, and was taken over by Taking on a World of Words.
So the title of this blog gave it away, but it snowed a ton last night and during the day over here in the UK. There was that much that my boss told everyone to stay home and work from the comfort of our houses. So while I didn’t get to go out and enjoy the snow (it was -4 so it’s not that much fun) I was busy working away and managed to not get too distracted by the white stuff falling from the sky.
I did manage to read a little bit before I started my work for the day, so I guess it’s time to talk about books.
What Are You Currently Reading?
I have seen everyone reading this book lately, gearing up for its release in just over a weeks time. I have read nearly half of this book already and I am really enjoying it. Like I’ve said before, I haven’t read a book about sirens and pirates in a very long time and it’s a refreshing take on them. Hopefully I can finish this book before the weekend arrives.
What Did You Recently Finish Reading?
Between the Blade and the Heart was a fun and entertaining read that I enjoyed, even if it wasn’t the best book I’ve ever read. The characters were fairly likeable, there were action sequences and some Norse mythology thrown in with a cool urban fantasy setting. This book was definitely different to what I am used to reading, but it was refreshing. I gave this 3 stars and you can check out my review here.
What Do You Think You’ll Read Next?
Ugh, so I suppose I should finish reading Zenith but I just can’t bring myself to do it, and I don’t know why. I was beginning to really like this book and then I just stopped reading it and now I can’t get back into it. I don’t really want to force it (because then I know I won’t enjoy it) but at the same time I hate leaving books unfinished. Maybe I’ll give this another try at the weekend and hope for the best.
We are one step closer to the weekend now and I can’t wait to relax (and for it to get warmer as well). I hope you’ve all been having a good week and are reading some great books.
I started the audiobook for Zenith and I couldn’t get into it, I might still give it a try at a later date.

I feel like you’ve gotta be in the mood for sci-fi books or it just doesn’t work. It’s not my favourite genre anyway so that makes it more difficult

I say Sci-fi is my third favorite genre, but I don’t read it often, I can’t even remember what the last sci-fi book I read.

I am the same way! If I’m not really into a book it sucks to try to plow through it, but I absolutely hate the idea of not finishing a book. Kind of feeling this way about Tess of the Road, but it’s decent – just kind of slow going. To Kill a Kingdom may be my next book (I’ll have to check my Netgalley for all my books in order of publish date). I’m really excited for that one though! 🙂

It’s like a failure, not finishing the books, especially when the books are slow like you said. I do the same as you, check which one is being published first and work my way through them all 🙂

I feel so left out, I’m seeing To Kill A Kingdom everywhere. Tbh I just really like the cover lol! But also sea themes are fun. Oh I hate when I randomly just STOP reading a book. Like no real reason, nothing. Wasn’t even that I was hating it, I just stop. It’s so frustrating! That’s me and Heartless right now. Which is weird because I love retellings and I love Alice retellings so I’m not sure WHAT happened. Though to be fair I did force myself to finish The Lunar Chronicles and though this is a stand alone, it’s still by the same author. Ahhh who knows!
Here’s how my week is going;

It seems a lot of people got accepted to read it 🙂 yeah it could be to do with that you don’t connect with the author’s writing style that much
