This weekly meme is hosted by Sam at Taking on a World of Words and all you need to do to participate is answer the following three questions:
What are you currently reading?
I’m only one chapter into What the Woods Took and so far so good. It comes out in December but I couldn’t resist reading it now. The first few words in the blurb are “Yellowjackets meets Girl, Interrupted” and I never read any further than that. I believe the novel follows a few different kids (4 or 5 based off the cover) who are forced into one of those residential camps in the middle of nowhere for troubled kids. And the author gives a few different trigger warnings for some brutal stuff that’s going to take place.
I also decided to start listening to Kingdom of Ash again because I was wanting an audiobook and I do want to finish the Throne of Glass series. I only got to 25% before I put it down months ago so I still have a lot of the story left. The break was good for me though since I actually find myself wanting to know what’s going to happen with these characters.
What have you recently finished?
I will have reviews for Evil in Me and She Doesn’t Have a Clue up closer to their publication dates but I gave both four stars.
The God of Small Things was an okay read. The last 20% was the strongest part of the novel and she actually had a very powerful and beautiful story to tell. Too bad she muddled it all up with a very repetitive and overwritten prose along with a meandering story that it lacked the full impact it could have had.
And Book Lovers. This book was pure perfection to me and I will forever hold Emily Henry books close to my heart.
What do you think you’ll read next?
I have a few books from A Bakeshop Mystery series on my Netgalley so I think I’m going to read those next. I’ve been in the mood for a good cozy mystery and I have my hopes up that I’m going to absolutely love these.
In Muffin But the Truth , Torte’s pastry chef and amateur sleuth Juliet Capshaw finds herself in deep water… in another delicious installment in the Bakeshop Series from author Ellie Alexander, set in Ashland, Oregon!
Ashland is known for its Elizabethan charm and touches of Shakespeare around every corner, but the surrounding Rogue Valley draws adventure enthusiasts to its outdoor wonderland of high alpine lakes, mountain ranges, and pristine rivers. Jules Capshaw and the team at Torte have been hired to cater a weekend getaway on the mighty Rogue River. Jules is going to have to put her culinary skills to the test while baking gooey chocolate chip skillet cookies over an open flame and preparing extravagant feasts under a canopy of stars. The executive team at a big city firm will be rafting the Rogue’s rapids and gathering around the campfire for spooky stories, but their dysfunction quickly begins to show. Between constant bickering and heavy drinking, Jules wonders how the team can accomplish anything. She’s happy for a brief reprieve when they zip up their lifejackets and head out in their boats, but the serenity of the scene quickly vanishes when Jules discovers one of the execs floating face down in the water. She’s going to have to uncover the truth before she gets pulled under.
