It’s Wednesday so, of course, I am participating in the WWW meme. It is hosted by Sam at Taking on a World of Words and you only need to answer the three W’s.
The Three Ws are:
What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading?
What do you think you’ll read next?
I do them chronologically so I always deal with my past before my present and future reading is considered. I can’t help myself! Feel free to link or add yours to the comments below and make sure and check out the other participants because this is where I find all of my books!
What did you recently finish reading?
I had just a teeny bit of The Arctic Incident to finish listening to at my last WWW and the ending did not disappoint! If you get a chance, check these out in audiobook format – the narrator Nathaniel Parker is incredibly talented and brings each character fully to life. I haven’t done a review because I hope to do a full series review when I finish all of the books.
I also could not resist purchasing and reading 99 Percent Mine by Sally Thorne. I absolutely adored her first book The Hating Game and I have been anxiously awaiting this book for months. I was ridiculous while reading it and I need to go back and read it again. I am ashamed of the way I consumed it. It was like inhaling a whole box of Godiva chocolates without stopping to taste the flavors. I will let you know my thoughts when I go back and savor the story more carefully.
The Assassination of Brangwain Spurge I picked up solely for the cute cover and I was delighted to find that it is told through both written word and illustration. However, unlike Hugo Cabret the illustrations tell a different story than the written word. This cleve tactic emphasizes the different perspectives of the two main characters and it is a perfect middle school story for explaining how to look at things through someone else’s eyes. I finished it this morning and I loved it! Full review coming soon.
My Plain Jane is a book plucked off my own bookshelf that had languished since OwlCrate sent it in July! I didn’t want to like it but I did and I could not put it down. You can read my full thoughts here.
I also had technical difficulties and my reviews for Springfield Confidential and The Con Artist were both delayed but you can click on the title and find my reviews if you are interested.
What are you currently reading?
Is this the smallest current listing you have ever seen from me?!? With finishing a book this morning and having serious trouble settling into an audiobook I find myself with only two books currently in play. The Wonderling is still sweet and I am digging myself deeper and deeper into Arthur and Sherlock as part of my Learn Something New Challenge. If you have an audiobook recommendation – please, let me know!
What do you think you’ll read next?
I want to continue my Sherlock reading with one of my own books, The Sherlock Holmes Handbook by the awesome Ransom Riggs. I need to keep reading Harry Potter as well. Finally, I can no longer resist digging into I Owe You One by one of my favorite authors, Sophie Kinsella.
Tell me, please!
What’s on your WWW list?
I love your Sherlock books! I actually just finished listed to Chamber of Secrets and am gonna start on book 3 of HP in a week or so. Per our conversation last week, I’m still working on Say Nothing about Northern Ireland, and I think you should put that on your TBR. So far it is less true crime and more about the history of the troubles and the IRA. There is so much information. Here is my WWW this week: https://greatmorrisonmigration.wordpress.com/2019/02/20/www-wednesdays-february-20-2019/

Is Artemis Fowl appropriate for an 11 year old? My son goes through books like water and he is looking for a new series to read. Here’s mine: https://readwithme2018.com/2019/02/20/www-wednesday-february-20th-2019/

Artemis is probably intended for an 11 year old boy and it absolutely appropriate. I highly recommend it! Let me know if he checks it out what his thoughts are will you? I’m always curious about whether me enjoying it as an adult translates equally to kids enjoying what is intended for them.

I followed the Artemis Fowl series from the time the first book was released when I was twelve, but now you make me want to revisit them on audio. I’m checking my library in another tab as I type! Is the narrator Irish?

I don’t know but to my un-trained midwestern American ears he sounds wonderfully Irish. Like, slow that book down to 75%, delightfully Irish. I hope you get a chance to give them a listen!
