WWW Wednesday, a weekly meme hosted by Sam @Taking On A World of Words, where we gather and answer the following questions:
What are you currently reading?
What did you read last?
What will you read next?


Happy Wednesday! We had a little bit of sun today, although it is still cold. We managed to go out for a stroll and had to cut it short due to the cold wind. How’s the weather at your place?

What are you currently reading?

  1. Footprints in the Woods: The Secret Life of Forest and Riverbank by John Lister-Kaye: I discovered this book thanks to Emma from Pages of Emma, and I am so curious to read it, as I love animals and am always happy to learn more about them and their habitat.
  2. How to Be a Calm Parent by Sarah Ockwell-Smith: As kids grow older, so do their tantrums and challenging stages. I find these reads to be invaluable, and what I am actually discovering is not so much a help for the kids as it is for us parents, because they do reflect us at the end of the day. This is a very eye-opening book on so many levels so far.

What did you read last?

  1. Bride by Ali Hazelwood: My review is already up, and I have attached it to the cover if you would like to read it. In short, it was a 3-star read for me.
  2. The Last Letter by Rebecca Yarros:
  3. The Switch by Beth O’Leary
  4. Death and the Gardener by Georgi Gospodinov

For the rest, reviews are scheduled to be up this month, so keep an eye out if you are curious.

What will you read next?

I am not sure, because at the moment I am winging it. But here are some likely candidates:

  1. The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame: I decided to take a challenge and join The Classics Club, and although I don’t have this book in there, I will be adding it to the list. I still have 4 years to complete my list of selected classics.
  2. Be a Birder by Hamza Yassin
  3. Time Shelter by Georgi Gospodinov
  4. Ashes to Admin by Evie King
  5. In the Likely Event by Rebecca Yarros

Happy reading!

  2. Fabulous!
    The Wind in the Willows is fabulous. I can send you the ebook if you want.
    I wish I could send you the audiobook I listened to through my library, the narrator Andrew Wincott is phenomenal.
    Though I see there are some really good narrators on youtube as well, such as this one: https://youtu.be/AU3L62OomvQ?si=BR9–daJnVH8dOQO

    Gospodinov: I so need to read Time Shelter! Have you?

    1. Thank you, Emma! I have both the book and an audiobook and am so looking forward to it. I hear nothing but good things about it and im so glad you are one of the people who loved it.

      Will definitely check the link you sent me!

      I have not read The time Shelter yet, but it is in my plans to get to it soon.

      You’ve got some interesting reads in here I really have been eyeing CS Lewis for a long time and I have his book Mere Christianity on my TBR. Have you read it?

    1. Thank you! I am enjoying it so far.

      I didn’t know he appeared on TV! I discovered his book by chance and loved the premise and that it is nonfiction. Can’t wait to get to it now hope you enjoy it once you get to it.
