Hello there! Welcome to WWW Wednesday, hosted by Sam from Taking On A World of Words. I didn’t really have the time to read as much as I usually could the past couple of weeks but I’m somehow back to it now so here we go. Just answer the three W questions:
- What did you recently finish reading?
- What are you currently reading?
- What do you think you’ll read next?
Recently Finished:
A Monster Calls is a very emotional story and so vivid in pain and suffering that will break your heart. It just broke mine a thousand times.
Currently Reading:
I haven’t gone far with A Dance with Dragons but I’m delighted to read the first few chapters that featured Tyrion, Daenerys and Jon Snow.
I’ve also started The Forgotten Highlander by Alistair Urquhart, a 19-year-old soldier in the Gordon Highlanders who was captured by the Japanese in Singapore. This sparks a great interest on my part quite a lot so I hope it won’t disappoint.
Up Next:
I’m still very inclined to read this next so I won’t be checking other books for the meantime.
Also, I was able to write a few reviews about the books I’ve finished reading a few months back and you can check them here:
A Feast for Crows by George R.R. Martin
The Sorrows of Young Werther by Johann Wolfgang van Goethe
I so need to read A Monster Calls! is it close to the movie? I really liked it. I finished A Game of Thrones a few months back and now I just have to carry on with the rest of the series.

I haven’t watched the movie yet. I’m actually not a fan of movie adaptations but I may check it out…🙂
I hope you get to read the rest of the series, too. I’m on the fifth now and it’s really interesting. Happy reading.😊

Oh, hope you like the movie – if you do watch it! Not sure how faithful it is to the book, though. Game of Thrones is definitely a very good series, that is true.

A Game of Thrones and season 1 of the show are really matched. It started to change somehow from book 2 and season 2 and the rest. I wonder what’s the ending in the books as I was very disappointed with the ending of the series. 😦

Season 1 and the book definitely did match each other. And then I think the showrunners and Martin had some arguments or didn’t see eye to eye, so that’s why the show went its own way.
It’ll be interesting to see how the books will end – if they’ll keep very close to the show or end a little differently.

Oh totally! As much as I did like some of the way the show ended, I still think it could’ve ended way differently!

Darn it! I had a Monster Calls in my hands for weeks and I had to return it to the library. I wonder how long it will take me to get it back…

The forgotten highlander looks interesting. I don’t often read historical novels but I generally enjoy them when I do 🙂 I’m currently reading The Cuckoo’s Calling by Robert Galbraith 🙂 Jen
