Today was the day a thousand dreams would die and a single dream would be born.
First line in The Kiss of Deception by Mary E. Pearson

Hi, guys. I hope you’re all doing great. Today I’m using WWW Wednesday to give you a reading update. WWW Wednesday a weekly meme hosted by Sam @ Taking on a World of Words, and it’s meant to give you all a little insight into my reading this week. I’ll answer the 3 questions:
- What are you currently reading?
- What did you recently finish?
- What do you think you’ll read next

What did you recently finish?
I finished The Kiss of Deception by Mary E. Pearson, which I gave 3 stars. It was such a middle-of-the-road book for me that I don’t have much to say about it. There wasn’t anything I loved or hated in particular. I do see some potential in the series and that ending kind of forced me to continue.


What are you currently reading?
I’m reading The Lost Book of the White by Cassandra Clare, and I’m 32% into that one. It’s weird. It makes me think about how the main critique of Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo is that the characters act older than their age. In The Lost Book of the White, it’s the same problem but in reverse. The characters are adult but act like teenagers because it’s YA. So yeah, the characters aren’t that great but so far the plot has kept me intrigued, so I’m still excited to continue reading and see where that goes.
I’m also still working on my reread of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I’m 60% in so I might be able to finish that before next Wednesday.

What do you think you’ll read next?
I’m hoping the library will come through for me and give me The Shadow Rising by Robert Jordan, book 4 in Wheel of Time. If that doesn’t happen, I’ll start A Gathering of Ravens by Scott Oden. I’ve read a lot of YA fantasy lately, so I’m in need of something adult.

I agree the first book in the Kiss of Deception series is just ok, but the series gets better and the last book is one of the best finales I’ve read in a long time!

Oh that’s good to hear! It did feel like a lot of set-up was done here in the first book, so it’s good to know that there’s some pay-off later on.

Oh the Wheel of Time series, I’ve read the first 5 books and have read the first 3 twice but never continued and I know I should as I really enjoyed them, I’m just not good at sticking with a series. I hope you enjoy book 4. Here is my post https://ladybookdragon.com/2020/09/16/www-wednesday-16-09-2020/
