WWW Wednesday is hosted by Sam over on Taking on a World of Words. All you have to do is answer the following three ‘W’ questions below.

What did you recently finish reading?
What are you currently reading?
What do you think you’ll read next?

RECENTLY FINISHED

1. “Best of Friends” by Kamila Shamsie (review). This was a five-star read for me – a brilliant exploration of female friendship and experience in multiple realms: the street, power, politics, ambition, home, love and friendship.
2. “The Memory of Animals” by Claire Fuller (review). This is a dystopian suspense thriller, and while I found the reading experience bleak in some ways (it’s set in a very bad pandemic), I also found it imaginative, characterful, gripping and sometimes very moving.
3. “The Ladies of Grace Adieu” by Susanna Clarke. Whimsical short stories set in the world of “Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell” – a fun read.

CURRENTLY READING

1. “Weyward” by Emilia Hart. I’ve just started the e-book, having been intrigued by the little I know of the book – three perspectives of women in different time periods, linked by a particular village in Cumbria UK, and some witchiness!
2. “The Jasmine Throne” by Tasha Suri. I started reading this last autumn and didn’t have enough time to do it justice, but really enjoying sitting down with it now. It’s a sapphic epic fantasy in a beautifully imagined world.

READING NEXT

I’m a mood reader so any plans for what I’m reading shortly come with caveats… but I do know I want to read “Small Things Like These” soon, as I’m late to the party, it’s short, I have heard so many good things about it, and think I will be in the mood for something beautiful and uplifting – which I think this will be!
