Hi there, Homo sapiens! Welcome to another WWW Wednesday, hosted by Sam from Taking On A World of Words.
As usual, 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
The Deal of a Lifetime was a really quick read but moving in many ways, 4-stars.
Sadly, I didn’t find The Makioka Sisters as engrossing as I hoped it to be but I’m still giving it 3.5 stars.
And 3-stars for My Cousin Rachel. I think I was expecting more from it because I very much enjoyed Rebecca but still, I consider it a good read.
Currently Reading
I have read 30% or so of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue and I’m finding it a bit slow-paced for my taste and I’m starting to lose interest but I’ll try to continue with a few more chapters and see whether I’ll read through the end or abandon it instead.
Up Next
What the Wind Knows piqued my interest by the title itself so I didn’t have second thoughts getting a copy while The Ten Thousand Doors of January has been on my TBR for months so I hope to start with it as well. The Turn of the Key was a recommendation from a good friend so I hope to get to it this month.
Have you read any of these books? What have you been reading this past week? I’d be delighted if you share your WWWs, too. Leave a link or share your lists on the comments section so I can check them all out!
Happy reading and keep safe, Homo sapiens!

I think your rating for The Makioka Sisters is even too generous. I realise what a classic it is, but I cannot say I enjoyed it.

I loved My Cousin Rachel, but not as much as Rebecca, as Cathy said not sure even du Maurier could write something better than Rebecca! I hope The Invisible Life of Addie La Rue picks up for you, as I’ve been hearing great things about it on other blogs. Take care and happy reading to you, too! 👋📚😃

Right, it gets difficult to focus and continue reading but several of my friends enjoyed it so I want to know why that’s why I’ll try to stick with it until at least halfway through it…
Yeah, I’m looking forward to The Turn of the Key!

Even for Daphne du Maurier it would be a hard job to write a book to top Rebecca!
