t’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.
What have you recently finished reading?
It’s been a couple of weeks since my last WWW post, and in that time, I’ve finished several books.
I finished listening to The Prestige by Christopher Priest. It was really hard to not compare it to the movie, which I think tells the same story in a much tighter way. I posted my review here on Monday.
I then began July by returning to Lemony Snicket’s Series of Unfortunate Events. I read The Ersatz Elevator, The Vile Village, The Hostile Hospital, The Carnivorous Carnival and The Slippery Slope (books 6-10) in quick succession. I thought for a while that The Vile Village was the last one I had read as a child, but I definitely read this far. I have a memory of Sunny cooking with wasabi, which I haven’t come across yet, so I guess I read far more of the series back in the day than I thought.
Other reviews posted since my last WWW post are The Mystery at Maplemead Castle by Kitty French and Interview With the Vampire by Anne Rice.
What are you currently reading?
I am still reading Dracula by Bram Stoker and The Ship Beyond Time by Heidi Heilig, though there has been little movevment on any of them recently. I only finished the 10th ASOUE book this afternoon, so I will probably return to one of these tomorrow. I need a break from Snicket before I finish the series.
What do you think you’ll read next?
I got The Year of Freaking Out by Sarah Walker out from the library today. I think this is a YA Contempory, and I’ve got it on my TBR for the Australian Women Writers Challenge. I also posted my July – September TBR, which you can read here. It’s a mix of ARCs and challenge books. e
What are you reading this week? 🙂
P.S. If you feel so inclined, head on over to my writing blog, Letting the Voices Out, where I’ve shared an excerpt from my current WIP today.
I discovered Lemony Snicket with my children and loved the books. Am somewhat bemused by the Netflix series though – not entirely sold on it.

Agreed – I’ve only watched the first half so far and it was fine but I’m not feeling compelled to go back and finish it.

I need to grab the Lemony Snicket’s for my daughter! This was a great reminder 🙂

I still can’t believe I’ve never read the Lemony Snicket series before (maybe the first book years ago, but I can’t really remember). I hope you will enjoy your books and happy reading!
