WWW Wednesdays is a meme hosted by Taking on a World of Words.
Just answer three questions and share what you're reading.
Happy Wednesday, friends. Is it just me or is this week moving at a snail's pace? I mean, it's seriously only Wednesday? I already feel the need for a weekend. Can't come soon enough! How's your week going?
WHAT ARE YOU CURRENTLY READING?
Loving this one! I know some people have taken issue with the format (it's told in a kind of oral history/interview style) but I find it perfectly suited for telling this story. I can already tell that I'm not going to want it to end.
I'm on the fence about this one so far. I was never a fan of Avett when she appeared in a few of the later Marked Men books so her getting her own book doesn't have me jumping for joy. Plus, her and Quaid Jackson together? That has to be the single unlikeliest pairing I've come across in a long time. I just *don't* see it. But, I'm only about 10% in so I need to give it a chance and see how it goes.
WHAT DID YOU RECENTLY FINISH READING?
I enjoyed this one so, so much. Revisiting Feyre and Rhys, Cassian and Azriel, Mor and Amren... it was like checking in with old friends. I'm still not sure I'm ever going to warm to Nesta, but I really enjoyed the set up for the next book.
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'LL READ NEXT?
I've read such a mix lately - contemporary romance, urban fantasy, young adult, fantasy, mystery/thriller - that I really have no idea what I'm going to feel like picking up next. But I have Gentleman Sinner out from the library and I Want You Back and The Girl He Used to Know are both arcs that release in April so all three are possibilities.
What are you currently reading?
I wanna know! :)
I wanna know! :)
Oh Nesta is a piece of cake! But I like her a lot, she makes this series really spicy.
ReplyDeleteShe's a piece of work, alright! :) I sure hope she comes around some in the next release.
DeleteOne of these days I'll read a Sarah J. Maas book and catch up with the rest of the world. :-)

Well, I tried to read the Throne of Glass series and never made it past the first book so you're not alone there. But the ACOTAR series really grabbed me!
DeleteLooks like you're getting some good reads in this week. I'm almost finished with Forever Right Now by Emma Scott. Sooo good. My first read from her. :) And I'm listening to Far From the Tree by Robin Benway - also my first read from her. I'm not sure what I'm going to read next. Maybe Tumble by Adriana Locke? Or I Dare You by Ilsa Madden Mills.
ReplyDeleteLooove Emma Scott! Oh my goodness, she just has a way of writing characters and situations that totally engage me and break me heart and yet I love every minute of it. I have so much love for Far From the Tree. It was one of my favorite reads of 2017. I hope the audio version does it justice. I truly loved that one and cried so many tears for Joaquin.
DeleteI would be perfectly fine with thew weekend arriving a little early. :)
ReplyDeleteDaisy Jones and the Six sounds so good. And I get such a Bon Scott/ AcDC vibe from that cover every time I see it, which may be weird, but it just reminds me of one of their album covers? I don't know, call me crazy lol.
I'm loving Daisy Jones and I'm already starting to confuse fact with fiction and have to keep reminding myself that The Six was not a real band. LOL Too funny that the cover is giving you AC/DC vibes!
DeleteLOVED Daisy Jones and the format. So good. I also really enjoyed The Girl He Used to Know. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the format of Daisy Jones! All the input from the different characters... it's fascinating!
DeleteI like when books are in different formats. Glad you are enjoying Daisy. I like that Crownover put together such an odd couple. Avette grew a lot in this books, and it's always good spending time with Brite.
ReplyDeleteI'm warming to Avett a bit but I'm still not 100% sold on the romance. It's so unlikely and feels a little forced but maybe I'll come around. Brite is such a good man.
DeleteI need to try Taylor Jenkins Reid. I want to start with Evelyn Hugo, but you have me curious when you mention the writing format of this one.
ReplyDeleteEvelyn Hugo was my #1 book of 2018 so I definitely recommend that one. :) Can'y say for sure about Daisy Jones yet but at 150 pages in I am loving it!
DeleteDaisy Jones & The Six - Taylor Jenkins Reid looks super fun and interesting.
ReplyDeleteI'm totally enjoying Daisy Jones! Twice last night I was about to look up some of the music from The Six and had to remind myself that they are fictional. LOL
DeleteI'm really excited for Daisy Jones, I like interview format books.
ReplyDeleteI'm on the fence about Nesta's book, but we'll see.
Yeah, I've never warmed to Nesta... I don't care what she did in ACOWAR. She's still a heinous witch to everyone.
DeleteIf you like the interview format then Daisy Jones is right up your alley!
Hope Charged works for you.
ReplyDeleteI just listened to Charged all through my lung break and Avett is definitely growing on me. :)
DeleteI've been seeing Daisy Jones everywhere. I didn't know about the format, but that makes me want to read it more.

I think the format is absolutely perfect for telling this story.
DeleteThe hype surrounding Daisy Jones and The Six is unbelievable this week and seeing the early reviews, I can certainly see why. So glad you're enjoying it Tanya, looking forward to seeing your thoughts. Can't wait to see what you think of The Girl He Used to Know! I remember reading On The Island a few years ago and really enjoying the unlikely romance. The synopsis reminds me of old school Colleen Hoover.
ReplyDeleteDaisy Jones was simply phenomenal. Loved it! And I hope to have my review up Thursday or Friday. I'm only 60 pages or so into The Girl He Used to Know but I'm enjoying it so much. The main characters are just so likable! :)
DeleteI am really curious about Daisy Jones!
ReplyDeleteLoved, loved, loved it, Sophie! I hope to have my review posted tomorrow or Friday.
DeleteI still haven't made it through ACOFAS. Whoops! I hope you enjoy Daisy Jones & the Six! I've seen lots of good things about that one!
ReplyDeleteWell, I can now say that the hype for Daisy Jones is deserved. :) It'll definitely be one of my favorites of the year!
DeleteI'm so happy to hear that you're loving Daisy Jones so far. I already want to go back and read it again!
ReplyDeleteI've heard the audio version is excellent so I might do a re-read that way.
DeleteI agree, this week is taking forever! I'm currently reading Parkland: Birth of a Movement by Dave Cullen. Cullen wrote one of the definitive books on the Columbine tragedy, so he brings an expert perspective to the one in Parkland. I was worried this would be a tough read, but the focus on the kids banding together to form this movement if pretty inspiring. I'll definitely need a lighter read next though.
ReplyDeleteI would have assumed Parkland to be a terribly emotional read but it sounds like the author chose to focus of the positive aspects of the aftermath. That's wonderful!
DeleteDaisy Jones is everywhere! I need to hop on that train. I'm currently reading Field Notes on Love. I'm doing a 48 hour readathon starting tonight, so I'll be reading a lot!
ReplyDeleteAsh @ JennRenee Read
I'm usually wary of such hyped books but since I already know I love Taylor Jenkins Reid I was excited to dive in. Daisy Jones didn't disappoint! :)
DeleteI have Throne of Glass, but yet still have not touched it. I really need to because the Fandom just raves about this series.
ReplyDeleteI'm interested to read your review for Charged. LOL. :)
I know there are a zillion Throne of Glass fans but I just couldn't get into it. I read the first book a few years ago and just wasn't pulled in. I never continued the series. A Court of Thorns and Roses was totally different, though. Love that series! :)
DeleteI'm with you Tanya, I don't think I'll ever like Nesta which worries me as she's the lead in the next series. However, all the other subplots and angles that were getting set up make me so excited so I guess we'll see!
ReplyDeleteI also have issues with the Avett / Quaid pairing in Charged but I'll reserve judgement on that one too and I really hope you end up liking it! I need to catch up with the series!
Right?! I see people rave about how great Nesta is and I just think, "Um, no, she's a shrew."
DeleteI was nervous about Avett/Quaid but I shouldn't have been. They balanced each other so well. Not my favorite Crownover pairing ever, but still very good!
