Yahoo! It’s Wednesday! That means it is time for WWW Wednesday and, as always, a big thanks goes to Sam @ Taking on a World of Words for hosting this weekly meme that asks the four questions that keep me (decently) organized.
What Did I Recently Finish Reading?
The only book I finished this week was Kindness and Wonder; Why Mister Rogers Matters Now More Than Ever by Gavin Edwards. You can read my full review by clicking the title but it is easy to gush about this book. If you need to be reminded of the wonder that was Mister Rogers, this book will do it for you.
What Am I Currently Reading?
Five is one too many for me!! I just cannot seen to get back into The Heart Forger after putting it aside to focus on nonfiction. The parts I have read are too good and I need to just let it rest and start again fresh. Meanwhile, just a touch of insomnia has me diving into the new selection of Smartypants Romance selections with Weight Expectations and it is cute!
What Will I Read Next?
These are all the nonfiction books I have waiting for me. I think Empire of the Summer Moon is probably going to be next but if anyone has any other suggestions, let me know!
Tell me, please!
What’s on your WWW list?
Glad you’ve been enjoying the things you’re picking up! I hope the Heart Forger works out better when you start it fresh. My week of reading has consisted of some disappointing reads. Hopefully next week will bring us both good stuff! 🙂

The Poor Heart Forger has done nothing wrong except fallen prey to my horrible mood reading.
I’m so sorry you’ve had some disappointing reading this week!

I know, that video is so powerful. That slow deliberate voice delivering a message that changed so much… goosebumps for everyone!

I watched the documentary on Mister Rogers a little while ago – he talks about how nervous he was in that moment. Knowing that I could tell he had some nerves, but he did so good! So goosebumpy, you’re right!

I think five books on the go at once would be too much for me as well! Weight Expectations sounds quite funny, will need to check it out 🙂

I have a system that usually helps keep my mood reading in check but it only works with four books. Five creates chaos!

Mister Rogers was a wonderful human being and I am fully prepared to cry my way through the new bio-pic about him (also, how perfectly cast was it, amiright?!).

When I heard they were making the movie I actually googled, “most absorbing tissues,” because I knew I needed to be ready. I think I’m going to go alone so I can comfortably weep whenever!
And, good lord YES, that was well cast!

Thank you for Arguing is a book I’ve had on my radar for a while, though I’ve never picked it up. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on it!

Ugh, I don’t think I’m ready to read a book about Mister Rogers yet. D: It’s going to be hard enough going and watching the movie (which I’m obviously going to watch because his life was fascinating and he was an amazing person).
The Heart Forger is on sale right now on Kindle! I only know because I bought Bone Witch, like, last year? So I just went ahead and bought the rest of the series so I can read it at my leisure on the Kindle. xD
Oh, I’ve been wanting to read Have You Eaten Grandma? I’ll look forward to hearing your thoughts on it!

The book only made me tear up twice (in absolute wonder at his kindness) and I felt very brave! I plan on openly sobbing through the movie.
