WWW Wednesday 2025: 29 October

WWW Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Taking on a World of Words, where bloggers share their answers to the reading world’s three W’s:

What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading?
What do you think you’ll read next?

Disclaimer: While I do participate in a few challenges and readathons, I am also a mood reader, so any books waiting in the wings are subject to abrupt and unannounced changes. You have been warned lol.

Book cover: Cupid's Curse: A Romantic Fantasy Adventure of Love, Gods, and Breaking Generational Curses by Travis Brown

The Hound of Death and Other Stories by Agatha Christie Book Cover

Cupid’s Curse: A Romantic Fantasy Adventure of Love, Gods, and Breaking Generational Curses by Travis Brown: Digital. 271 pages. 59% done. Current Goodreads rating = 0.00. There are no ratings or reviews on The Storygraph. Won this through the LibraryThing Early Reviewers Program. Not gonna lie, I’m struggling to finish this. I don’t DNF review copies but I’m not really enjoying this at the moment.

The hound of death: And other stories by Agatha Christie: Paperback. 190 pages. 46% done. Current Goodreads rating = 3.46. Current Storygraph rating = 3.25. Still enjoying this collection.

Small Worlds: Flash Fiction and Microfiction by Gail Vida Hamburg: Digital. 156 pages. 32% done. Current Goodreads rating = 4.64. Current Storygraph rating = 3.25. Won this through the LibraryThing Early Reviewers Program. As the name suggests, this is a flash fiction and microfiction collection. The stories are enjoyable.

A Witch’s Guide to Magical Innkeeping by Sangu Mandanna with Samara MacLaren (Narrator): Audio. 9 hrs & 54 mins. 6% done. Current Goodreads rating = 4.01. Current Storygraph rating = 4.17. I still haven’t made any progress on this book.

A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas: Hardcover. 433 pages. 19% done. Current Goodreads rating = 4.16. Current Storygraph rating = 3.98. I’m enjoying this so far. Maybe not as much as I’d hoped (I really built it up in my head with everyone raving about it lol) but I am enjoying it.

Winter Moon by Dean Koontz: Paperback. 472 pages. 81% done. Current Goodreads rating = 3.86. Current Storygraph rating = 3.49. This is a reread for the spooky season. Slow going because I refuse to read it at night.

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll: Paperback. 135 pages. 75% done. Current Goodreads rating = 3.99. Current Storygraph rating = 3.83. This is both the same and different to my expectations, but I quite like it so far.

Soulless: Sometimes the Darkness Overcomes the Light by Michael Geczi: Digital. 290 pages. 14% done. Current Goodreads rating = 5.00. There are no ratings or reviews on The Storygraph. This is the second book in the Revenge, Unhinged series. The author read my review of Pointless and kindly reached out to me to offer a review copy of Soulless. I really enjoyed Pointless so I’m stoked at the opportunity to read the next book in the series. I’ve only just started reading it but Soulless is proving to be just as fun and addictive as its predecessor. Pointless was a keeper for me. I intend to buy a non-review copy as soon as my wallet lets me. I won’t be surprised if this turns out to be the same.

The Story of Vicente, Who Murdered His Mother, His Father and His Sister: Life and Death in Juarez by Sandra Rodríguez Nieto: Paperback. 193 pages. 39% done. Current Goodreads rating = 3.61. Current Storygraph rating = 3.17. A creative non-fiction true crime story. Interesting so far.
