WWW Wednesday #3

Hey everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. I’m back with another update on my reading.

WWW Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Sam @ Taking on a World of Words and how it works is I answer three question about what I’m currently reading, what I recently finished reading, and what I plan to read next.

The three W’s:

What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading?
What do you think you’ll read next?

WHAT ARE YOU CURRENTLY READING?

I’m currently reading Elske by Cynthia Voigt. I’m really enjoying it so far.

Synopsis: “Two Women
Elske — a girl with no future, until her grandmother’s sacrifice saves her from certain death
Beriel — an imperious princess, determined to claim the kingdom that is her birthright
Fate brings them together, both exiles, one servant to the other. To Beriel, the mistress, Elske offers steadfast loyalty and courage — hard to come by in her dangerous quest to regain the throne she has been denied by treachery. To Elske, the handmaiden, Beriel’s proud example provides a perhaps even more precious gift — the strength to find her true self.”

WHAT DID YOU RECENTLY FINISH READING?

I recently finished reading The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern (my review). I really liked it, it was a great fantasy read.

Synopsis: “The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Within the black-and-white striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience full of breathtaking amazements. It is called Le Cirque des Rêves, and it is only open at night.

But behind the scenes, a fierce competition is underway—a duel between two young magicians, Celia and Marco, who have been trained since childhood expressly for this purpose by their mercurial instructors. Unbeknownst to them, this is a game in which only one can be left standing, and the circus is but the stage for a remarkable battle of imagination and will. Despite themselves, however, Celia and Marco tumble headfirst into love—a deep, magical love that makes the lights flicker and the room grow warm whenever they so much as brush hands.

True love or not, the game must play out, and the fates of everyone involved, from the cast of extraordinary circus performers to the patrons, hang in the balance, suspended as precariously as the daring acrobats overhead.

Written in rich, seductive prose, this spell-casting novel is a feast for the senses and the heart.”

WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’LL READ NEXT?

I plan on reading The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Riddle of Ages by Trenton Lee Stewart next. It’s the last book in The Mysterious Benedict Society series and I’d like to finish the series. I haven’t been able to read it but now that I have the book, I can.

Synopsis: “Some time has passed since the inimitable quartet of Reynie, Sticky, Kate, and Constance have had a mission together. But with the arrival of a new Society member — and a new threat — they must reunite to face dilemmas more dangerous than ever before, including the villainous Mr. Curtain and a telepathic enemy tracking their every move, not to mention a dramatically preteen Constance.

In its triumphant return, the Society encounters all new challenges, but the series’ trademark sly humor, sweet camaraderie, hairsbreadth escapes, and mind-bending puzzles are all as engaging as ever. Fans of the series will be thrilled to see the Society has grown up a little with them, while a new generation of readers will fall in love with these irresistible adventures.”
