WWW Wednesday – Currently Reading, Finished Reading, Reading Next

It’s W W W Wednesday! Hosted by Sam @ Taking on a World of Words, here are my 3 Ws (Currently Reading, Just Finished Reading and Future Reading):

What I Am Currently Reading:

The Bullet That Missed by Richard Osman (click for link to Goodreads)

What I have finished reading (this week and last week!):

The Venice Secret by Anita Chapman

Baking and Entering by Janet Butler Male (click for link to Goodreads) – review coming soon!

What I am reading next:

The same as last time, either Love on the Brain by Ali Hazelwood (click for link to Goodreads) or Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus (click for link to Goodreads). I am probably more likely to go for Love on the Brain because it will fulfil my Romance genre for February, but we shall see! We are ill yet again so reading suffers.

What are your 3 Ws for this week?

First Line Friday – Baking and Entering by Janet Butler Male

5 Replies

It’s First Line Friday! Hosted by Reading Is My Superpower,you write the first line of the book you are currrently reading.

Today I have chosen one of my Kindle Freebie books (free at the time of purchase – now only free on Kindle Unlimited):

Book Description From Amazon:

“A sassy-mouthed cat. A vengeful ghost. Can a recent divorcee solve a magical mystery before she joins the deceased?

It’s 1987, and forty-year-old Milly Miller’s life is dull. Her marriage is passion-free, and her shoeshop job is ‘sole’ destroying. When she and her husband separate, Milly longs for excitement and glamour. But on her paltry wages, her life is more orthopaedic sandals than designer heels.

On divorce day, she inherits a fortune and a posh London pad. Her luck has changed, and Milly hotfoots it to the capital.

She couldn’t be happier in her new home with its fun and zany neighbours. Until she discovers a resident ghost, who claims someone murdered her. And that she’s a witch. Suspected weapon? Baked goods laced with magical vanilla essence.

She asks Milly to investigate with the help of a 200-year-old Siamese cat with a sassy tongue.

A prime suspect is the ghost’s hunky son, whom Milly falls for. But in a twist of fate, if the son is innocent, Milly must return her fortune. And if he’s guilty, she’ll lose out on love.

If you enjoy paranormal comedies iced with mystery and romance, you’ll love Janet Butler Male’s Baking and Entering.”

First Line:

“I pulled the official-looking letter from my handbag, gingerly opened the seal and, heart in mouth, scanned the contents.”

I am enjoying this short story and am looking forward to finding out the answer to the mystery!

Would you read this book based on the first line?

Book Blogger Hop – Do you use other sources for ARCs besides NetGalley?

7 Replies

Welcome to the Book Blogger Hop! Hosted by Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer this week the prompt is:

Do you use other sources for ARCs besides NetGalley? (submitted by Bonnie @ Bonnie Reads and Writes)

I request to go on Blog Tours and if my request for a physical book is turned down, then I ask if there is an electronic version.

This isn’t a reliable source for ARCs as there are a lot of other people who are invited to request to be on a Blog Tour, but it is another avenue!

What about you?

What I am reading next:

Either Love on the Brain by Ali Hazelwood (click for link to Goodreads) or Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus (click for link to Goodreads). Both are high on my list and both I would like to get done in February, but this might be a pipe dream the way things are going at the moment!

I am trying to get back into reading, but I am still not there yet. My son also has round the clock medicine for this week, so I am falling asleep of an evening instead of reading!

Welcome to my Sunday Salon post! Hosted by Readerbuzz this post is a chance to have a weekly bookish and non-bookish catch up with other bloggers.

What I have been reading this week:

Book Description From Random Things Tours:

“One hidden painting. Two women born centuries apart. A secret uncovered.

In 2019, Rachel is stuck in a rut when she discovers what appears to be a Canaletto painting in her grandmother’s loft along with a note addressed to Philippa in 1782. With help from Jake at the local art gallery, Rachel endeavours to find out if the painting is an original and uncovers a secret from the past.

In 1780, governess at Chipford Hall, Philippa is offered the role of mistress by Earl Rupert. She escapes to Venice as companion to bluestocking, Lady Cordelia who reveals a secret that changes both their lives. They do their best to keep the secret from Lady Cordelia’s social circle, but their nemesis is determined to reveal all and ruin them.”

What else has been happening this week:

Basically it has been appointments for both me and my son so it has been very busy! It is now half term so both my son and partner will be home next week. As usual my son is unwell so this will limit what we can do. My partner also wants to do things to the house so we shall see what happens!

I hope that you all had a good week!

Book Blogger Hop – What was your favourite genre to read as a child?

Welcome to the Book Blogger Hop! Hosted by Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer this week the prompt is:

What was your favourite genre to read as a child? Do you still read that genre, or do you read something else now? (submitted by Mark @ Carstairs Considers)

Fantasy was my go to genre when I was younger. I didn’t realise it at the time, I just liked books with magic in them! Later it was Murder Mystery/Thriller.

These days I try to mix my reading up and have actually read a fair amount of Romance with the odd Historical Fiction thrown in. So for the second part of the question I would have to say that I mainly read other things, but I am a fan of ACOTAR.

What about you?
