It’s time for WWW Wednesday! This blog hop is hosted by Sam over at A World Of Words. Link up with us by commenting on Sam’s post for this week, and just answer the three questions.
Sorry I wasn’t around last week! Life was too crazy for blogging, and I had barely been reading anyway. Life is back to normal now, though, so I should be around regularly for a while.
What have you recently finished reading?
I finished Magic Study by Maria V. Snyder, which I felt was about on par with the first book in the series. My review will go up on Friday.
Before that, I finished reading The Dalai Lama’s Cat by David Michie and reviewed it here. It was very cute and I recommend it.
Last but not least, I read The Betrayal of Bindy MacKenzie by Jaclyn Moriarty. This is the 4th book by her that I have read this year and it was a strange one… Bindy Mackenzie read like a Jane Austen heroine, but the book is a YA Contemporary… so it took some getting used to but in the end, I was hooked enough to see it through. It was still weird, though.
What are you currently reading?
Dracula by 
Bram Stoker and Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice on audio are still ongoing. I have knocked off another couple of hours of Interview, but haven’t had an opportunity to continue with Dracula.
While I was sure that I had until December to read it, it turns out that Ensnared by Rita Stradling was published at the end of May, so I have started my ARC today. It’s a futuristic Beauty and the Beast retelling so I have high hopes, though the reviews are mixed.
What do you think you’ll read next?
I will probably start Fire Study, the third book in
the Study series by Maria V. Snyder. General consensus seems to be that the quality goes down as the series goes on, so we’ll see how it goes.
What are you reading this week? 🙂
P.S. If you’ve come here looking for WIPpet Wednesday, head on over to my writing blog, Letting the Voices Out.
A Keyboard and an Open Mind 
I have had my ARC dates mixed up in the past. Read books too early or way past publication date. However, May isn’t late and as someone once told me, what counts is the review in the end. I hope that you will enjoy Ensnared and all your other books. Happy reading.

No, I guess I’m not doing too badly with that one. I should have it reviewed by next week, so that’s all right. And what you say is true, the review is the important thing.

I still haven’t decided if I want to read Snyder’s Study series. I’ve heard such mixed things about it that I’m not sure if it’s worth my time. 😛 I hope you like the rest of the series!

I’ve found the world-building and magic system really cool, though the characters aren’t my most favuorite. The first two books have both been 3.5*s for me. I don’t feel especially compelled to pull the next one down, though. It’s more because I’ve got it on my June TBR and want to tick it off.

Hmm, I might just see if my library has it.

I’m curious about The Betrayal of Bindy MacKenzie, primarily because the author is Jaclyn Moriarty, and I think she is the sister to the other Moriarty writers, whom I love.
Thanks for sharing, and here’s MY WWW POST

She is, though as far as I can tell, her books are fairly differet to Liane’s. Bindy MacKenzie was a bit strange; I think I would recommend the Colours of Madeleine series first.

These editions are so gorgeous! Some of the other versions are a bit boring so I’m glad I lucked in with these.

I have really got to read some of Snyder’s books. I keep buying them and never reading and from your previous review they definitely look like my kind of reads.
