W… W… W… Wednesday, hosted by Taking on a World of Worlds is a weekly meme showcasing what you just finished reading, what you are currently reading, and what you plan to start reading next. Except I’m changing it up a bit, since I can never plan what I’m reading next (moody reader). Instead I’m going to talk about a book I’ve recently added to my TBR that I’m excited about!

 

Three weeks since my last WWW post – life has been a little crazy! I’ve been reading, even though it’s more audio books lately, because it’s a lot easier to listen and multitask. 🙂

what i recently finished reading

I look forward to Kristan Higgins‘ new release every year, and this one didn’t disappoint. 5-star read.

I was worried that Wild at Heart wouldn’t live up to the first book, which was my favorite book of 2018. I need not worry – it was fantastic, and I loved every minute.

Audio Books:

The stand out audio book of this group was definitely Open Book by Jessica Simpson. I loved that she narrates the book herself, and I was so engrossed in her story/life that I finished it in a day.

I also really enjoyed Big Lies in a Small Town. Diane Chamberlain is one of my favorites for audio books.

All of the others were okay – mostly 3-star books, except for The Other Mrs., which really disappointed me.

 

what i’m Currently Reading

Colleen Oakley is an auto-buy author, and so far I’m loving this one.

I’ve been meaning to read Station Eleven for years and decided to try the audio book.

 

what i have recently added to my tbr

I loved Jennifer Weiner‘s last book, and I’m so excited to have a copy of this one!

what i recently finished reading

The Sun Down Motel was super creepy and really good. This author has become a favorite with her last two books.

I was in the mood for a romance and Kristan Higgins is one of my go-to romance authors. I still have several of her older books I haven’t read, including The Next Best Thing. Despite getting a little frustrated with the characters in the middle of the book, I loved it. One of her best romances.

Audio Books:

I loved the Class Mom books! They were so cute and funny.

My second Stephen King book in two months! It’s a super short book (which I know is not typical for him, lol) and I enjoyed it, especially because it was read by King himself.

 

what i’m Currently Reading

I’m listening to Dead to Her on Hoopla. This author has been hit or miss for me in the past. I like the narrator but not really loving the story, yet. Hoping for some sort of twist or something to make this worthwhile.

I have the audio book from the library of The Starless Sea and I also own a hard copy. I thought it would be good to go back and forth between the two, since it’s so long. I can tell it’s going to require some serious concentration, and I’m not sure I’m in the mood for it. I only have a few days to decide before it’ll be too late and get returned to the library. I was enjoying the story so far, but may have to revisit it on a later date.

I can’t hold off on reading the new Kristan Higgins book any longer. I was so excited to get a copy from Netgalley, and it’s exactly the type of book I’m in the mood for right now.

 

what i have recently added to my tbr

I’m always excited for a new Colleen Hoover book! I love this cover!

what i recently finished reading

Well, I have to read more Jojo Moyes books, now. I absolutely loved this book.

Audio Books:

The Marriage of Opposites was really good, especially on audio.

I loved All the Flowers in Paris. I’ve been a Sarah Jio fan for years, but when I picked up this book last year, I just couldn’t get into it/wasn’t in the right mood. I decided to try the audio version and loved it. The narrators were fantastic.

When Breath Becomes Air was heartbreaking but worth reading/listening.

 

what i’m Currently Reading

I was so excited to get a copy of The Sun Down Motel. I loved this author’s last book, The Broken Girls. It’s super creepy, and I’m loving it.

I was in need of something light and funny to listen to, and Rebecca Jo over at Knit By God’s Hand recommended Class Mom on her blog awhile back. So far it’s hilarious.

 

what i have recently added to my tbr

This one looks and sounds really good!

what i recently finished reading

Audio Books:

Forbidden Falls was cute. I think I may have liked it more if I read it instead of listened to it, because I didn’t love the narrator. I definitely want to continue the series sometime in the future.

I started out loving Followers because it was unique, but halfway through I lost interest and I really disliked the ending.

Between Shades of Gray has been on my TBR list for years. Such a heartbreaking story – the audio book was very good.

 

what i’m Currently Reading

I spent more time binge watching Food Network shows with my husband the past week than I did reading. 😀 I’m almost done with The Giver of Stars, and I’m still loving it.

A few weeks ago I decided to delete a bunch of books off my TBR list that I knew I’d never get to and start focusing on back list books. Audio books are helping me catch up on the books I’ve had on my list for awhile – I started listening to The Marriage of Opposites, and I really like it. Alice Hoffman became a must-read author for me last year after I read 3 of her books and loved all of them.

 

what i have recently added to my tbr

I read an Emily Henry YA book a few years ago and loved it. I think this is her first adult contemporary book and it sounds really cute.
