Hey guys, today I’m coming at you with a new WWW Wednesday post! I haven’t done one of these in a while and I don’t do monthly wrap upsΒ (though, you can look forward to something similar at the end of the month!) so I figured this way I can update you guys with what I have been reading in the last week or so!
Click on the covers to go to the GoodreadsΒ page!
1. WHAT ARE YOU CURRENTLY READING?
My mum borrowed this out from the library a few days ago but decided she wasn’t too into it and that I might enjoy it more. I don’t think Faithful is really up my alley, but as we know, mother knows best.
I just started it yesterday and so far it’s not my favourite book ever but, I am enjoying it. It is basically just one big trigger warning so, I’m finding some aspects of it hard to get through, but hopefully I’ll be able to push through to the end.
2. WHAT DID YOU RECENTLY FINISH?
I’m dying. I loved this book, it was almost too good? I will hopefully be writing a gush review soon to try and persuade you guys to read this book too!
This book was phenomenal, it is a really interesting book that gives an interesting insight into the background in film and our obsession with celebrity. I loved it and IΒ couldn’t recommend it more.
3. WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’LL READ NEXT?
As you guys know, I really want to get into Stephen King this year so I’m hoping since this is one of his shorter works it will help me get into his books and his writing. The booktuber, Aprilius Maximus is currently doing the Stephen King Project and while I doubt I will ever read all his books, I would like to start from the beginning of his career as much as I can.
The only book by Stephen King I’ve read so far is The Shining. I’m planning on reading a whole lot of King-novels during my April reading challenge though – Carrie being one of them!
Happy reading! π

Ooh, I know basically nothing about The Shining, did you enjoy it? I hope you enjoy your challenge in April, it should be an intense month if you read a lot of King!

I did! Totally freaked me out but I really am a pussy when it comes to anything horror-related. I fell in love with his writing though. I don’t think I’ve ever come across such descriptive and detailed writing without getting annoyed by it, haha.
It probably will be but I have some fluffy / easy reads to read in between!

That is a beautiful cover. I recently finished Small Island by Andrea Levy. It deals with the changing face of England after WW2, diaspora and racism, and of human relationships. I found it to be a heavy and beautiful read. Needing a lighter read, I’m now reading Phoenix Descending by Dorothy Dreyer.

I really want to read the seven husbands!! I don’t think I have read a bad review on it yet???
AHH, I have to admit I’ve never read a Stephen King book before, I watched the newest IT and altho it creeped me out I am tempted to read the book but at the same time I am stupidly scared too xD

You totally should, it was amazing! I haven’t either, haha!
I’ve actually decided this morning not to pick up Carr just because I don’t care for the story but, I definitely will pick up some of his other books! I actually really want to read IT, but I’m a chicken so I don’t know how it will go.
