WWW Wednesday!

Hey guys! Before I get into this post I just want to celebrate my blog being a year old today! On 24th May 2016 I created this blog and published my first post and my first review which was Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare! Looking back that review is really terrible and my reviews have vastly improved since then as I’ve grown more confident sharing my writing online. When I first started this blog I only thought I’d last a few months before I quit but I can happily say I am still here and don’t plan on going anywhere! I love blogging so much! It’s so fun and I love talking to other bloggers who are passionate about reading! Thank you so much for sticking with me and I hope you continue to do so!

Today I am sharing with you all another WWW Wednesday post! WWW Wednesday is a meme hosted by Sam over at Taking on a World of Words.

To take part, all you have to do is answer the following questions:

1. What are you currently reading?
2. What did you recently finish reading?
3. What do you think you’ll read next?

Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher: I recently finished the TV show and I was surprised to find that I actually really liked it. The acting was superb and it was a very addicting show to watch. It gripped me from start to finish and it was heartbreaking watching it all unfold. I wasn’t planning on reading the book mainly because I heard it romanticises and glorifies suicide. But then NetGalley had ebooks for request so I thought why not give it a try and if I don’t like it, it doesn’t really matter since I didn’t pay for it. So far it’s good but not very gripping, everything is going by really fast but the characters, especially Clay, aren’t as interesting as they are in the TV show. I definitely prefer the TV show but I will finish this book because it’s really easy to read and isn’t very long.

Lord of Shadows by Cassandra Clare: I finally have this beautiful and glorious book in my hands! Make that THREE copies in my hand! I pre-ordered the Waterstone’s paperback and hardback and then popped into WHSmith yesterday and purchased their edition! So three copies of Lady Midnight and three copies of Lord of Shadows. No regrets! Guys, this book is so BEAUTIFUL! It’s just mind-blowingly gorgeous. The spine is so pretty, spine beauty right there. I’m not very far in yet because I’m trying to finish Thirteen Reasons Why first but I’m so excited to get fully invested in the story! How have we waited over a year for this?! Its been torture at times.

Evil Star by Anthony Horowitz: If you want to know why I am randomly reading the second book in a series all of a sudden, I explain in the recently finished part! It was very spontaneous and this series is not on my TBR but since I am flying through them, I doubt it will affect my TBR much! I am nearly 100 pages into this already and it’s enjoyable. I want to unhaul some books and this series is part of that but I want to read it first before I unhaul it.

If We Were Villains by M.L. Rio: I finally started this ARC yesterday! It was sent to me by Titan Books and I was so excited to be given the chance to read it! I read the synopsis and knew immediately that I wanted to read it. Admittedly, I’m not really a fan of Shakespeare but this book sounded really interesting and like the perfect spooky crime thriller. So far I like it which is a good sign!

The Vinyl Detective: The Run-Out Groove by Andrew Cartmel: This is the second book in The Vinyl Detective series. I started it a couple days ago and I am really loving it so far! I got into it straight away and found that I was happy to continue with this series! Although I am a little surprised because I thought it would pick up where it left off in the first book but instead it’s moved onto another story! I am still excited to see what happens in this book because the synopsis makes it sound like all kinds of scary stuff happens!

Perfect by Cecelia Ahern: I am so freaking excited for this! It was one of my most anticipated releases this year! It’s the second book in the Flawed duology so I have no idea what will happen in this one but I am excited! I’m really not that far in yet as I’m mainly reading The Vinyl Detective but when I finish it I will be posting a review for it! Yay!

The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater: I finally got around to reading this and so far I am absolutely loving it! It’s slow going but I love all the world building, it’s incredible! Cannot wait to read the rest of this book!

Watching You by Arne Dahl: I received this book for review via NetGalley and so far it is actually pretty amazing! The start gave me goose bumps, it was so intense for the opening scene! I haven’t heard of the author before but I am definitely interested in checking out his other books when I’ve finished this one!

Nevernight by Jay Kristoff: I am two hundred pages into Nevernight and it is not what I expected at all! Sure I am enjoying it but it is a lot different than what I am used to! This is my first book by Jay Kristoff and I was a little thrown by his writing style. It’s a really heavy read because he uses a lot of descriptions, smilies and metaphors. Some of them were a struggle to make sense of and I had to read them a few times! Another thing that bugged me are the footnotes at the bottom of the page that sometimes take up half the page. I did not enjoy reading the footnotes so I decided to skip them altogether and when I did that, I enjoyed the story a lot more! So I will finish this book but I am undecided whether I will read the next one because I hadn’t realised it was part of a series, I thought it was a standalone! I’ll have to see when I reach the end and decide if I like the story enough to dedicate myself to a series.

The Edge of Everything by Jeff Giles: I am really loving this book! I am reading it on Kindle and I am about 30% in and it’s such a unique and interesting story! It’s so different and fresh to what I normally read! So far I am hooked on the story, the writing just pulls you in from the very first page! I have no idea where this story is going but I am excited to find out and I think I’ll have it finished today or tomorrow! If I had time I could easily read it in one sitting! Highly recommend this, guys!

I thought I’d try and quickly read this so I can knock another trilogy/series off my TBR! So far it is better than the second book Ice Like Fire. I thought that book was really boring in terms of plot but this one seems quite promising so far. I will be posting a review for this as soon as I finish it! I’m hoping that will be next week as I don’t want to spend too long reading this.

Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy and I am absolutely loving it! I love reading about Simon and can’t wait to find out how it ends!

Synopsis:

Simon Lewis has been a human and a vampire and now he is becoming a Shadowhunter. But the events of City of Heavenly Fire left him stripped of his memories, and Simon isn’t sure who he is any more. He knows he was friends with Clary and that he convinced the total goddess Isabelle Lightwood to go out with him … but he doesn’t know how.  So when the Shadowhunter Academy reopens, he throws himself into a new world of demon-hunting, determined to find himself again, rediscover his relationships and ascend as a true Shadowhunter. But he soon realises that nothing is ever straightforward at the Academy…
