WWW Wednesday is hosted by Sam @ Taking on a World of Words! All you have to do is answers the following three questions:
What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading?
What do you think you’ll read next?
Currently Reading-
A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle
I can not believe that I have never read A Wrinkle in Time! Now that it is being made in to a movie, of course I had to buy it! So excited that I am finally taking the time to read it!
Just Finished-
Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman
This book is as good as everyone says it is- better even! If it does not end up on my favourite books list at the end of the year I will be really surprised! I adore Eleanor and I wish she was real and we could be best friends!
I Am I Am I Am by Maggie O’Farrell
I Am I Am I Am was much more than I expected it to be! It is the story of the author’s life told through her near death experiences. It was beautiful, insightful, and had me tearing up by the end. Maggie O’Farrell is an interesting and incredible woman. I can not wait to read her fiction novels!
The Light We Lost by Jill Santopolo
I just finished The Light We Lost and I am still trying to sort out how I felt about it. The writing was great, and I could not put it down but I had a few problems with it. I can not get in to a lot of my thoughts without spoiling the book so I will just say I felt the narrator was immature and selfish. This book takes place over a 13 year time period and there was absolutely no character development! I actually found it to be quite emotionally manipulative and it glorifies some things that I do not agree with. If you have read this I would love to know what you thought- I am still unsure!
Reading Next–
The Queen of Hearts by Kimmery Martin
First of all, how gorgeous is this cover?! One of my goals of 2018 is to read more debut novels, so I am really happy that Penguin Random House Canada sent me a copy for review! It is a medical drama, which I love watching on TV but never actually read a book set in a hospital. I am so excited about it!
Have you read any of these books? What did you think?
Great list Kristin 🙂 🙂
Thank you! I have been pretty happy with my reading so far this year!
You should be… I’m gonna check your reads. 🙂 🙂
Great post! I really, really need to read Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine! I have been hearing such good things about it, and I’m glad to hear you enjoyed it too 🙂
-Lo
Thank you! Eleanor is fantastic! I think you will love it!
I’ve been hearing a lot about I Am, I Am, I Am recently! Might have to pick that one up.
I am so happy people are talking about it! It is wonderful!
I wasn’t crazy about The Light We Lost. I felt like Lucy was clinging to something that wasn’t there, and she took a lot for granted. I don’t think Gabe knew what he wanted, and his random poppings into her life were disruptive.
I am so happy that you agreed with me! I have seen so many amazing reviews for it! I felt like Lucy was selfish and I hated how she was always comparing her husband to Gabe. Gabe only called her when he was upset! Not that kind of relationship that should be romanticized in my opinion!
oh this looks like such a good reading list!! i havent read any of those, yet, but u definitely made me curious! also it’s kinda funny bc i was literally talking abt a wrinkle in time with my friend this morning. :>>>
I recommend all of these (except for The Light We Lost…) I just started A Wrinkle in Time and its adorable.!
I hear good things about Eleanor Oliphant Is Absolutely Fine. Enjoy!
Thank you! Eleanor is amazing!
What are your thoughts on A Wrinkle in Time? I read it a long time ago and don’t remember much from it to be honest. Haha.
I am not far in to it but it has definitely caught my attention! I have had a migraine all day but seems alright right now so I am excited to dive back in to it. I will let you know what I end up thinking!
Aww, I’m sorry to hear about your migraine (they’re the worst!). I hope you end up enjoying the rest of the book! <3
Thank you so much Kelly!
I wonder what you’ll think of The Queen of Hearts Kristin! This book is everywhere right now 😉
I am curious to see what I think too! I feel like the hospital setting will either be amazing or boring?! We will see!
I LOVE the cover for Queen of Hearts! It’s so pretty!
Isn’t it beautiful?! Can’t wait to read it! I am hoping the story itself lives up to its gorgeous cover!
I also recently picked up A Wrinkle In Time. I never read it when I was younger and am longer toward to reading it for the movie!
I think it will be a quick read too, which is refreshing!
So glad you enjoyed Eleanor Oliphant!
It was amazing!
I love reading A Wrinkle in Time as a kid 🙂
I wish I had read it when I was a kid!
Eleanor Oliphant has been on my TBR for quite some time… I really want to read it! Glad you loved that book, Kristin 🙂
I really loved it! I actually listened to it on audiobook and I recommend it. Was really well done!
Oh! That’s good then, I have the audiobook, too!
I read A Wrinkle in Time when I was a little older and never loved it so much for it to be my childhood favourite, but I did reread it recently and I cannot wait for the movie! Hope you enjoy the book, can’t wait for your thoughts on it 🙂
I am really excited to get more in to it but what I can tell so far it is going to be an amazing movie!
Yay so glad you loved Eleanor Oliphant!! I thought it was fantastic!
i really, really, really, reallyreallyreally hated The Light We Lost :/
Ah that makes me happy!! So many people love it and I thought I was going crazy!
