WWW Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Taking on a World of Words. Anyone can take part and it is a great way of sharing what you have just finished reading, what you are currently reading and what is next on the TBR.
Links are provided for books already published – thanks for supporting my blog with any purchases (at no extra cost to you!)
What have you recently finished reading?
It has been a slow reading week – I have several books on the go but don’t seem to have finished many!
I did read ‘The Watchful Neighbour’ by Debbie Viggiano which is for a blog tour in December with Rachel’s Random Resources. It’s a pacey psychological thriller about a young woman who worries that her Neighbourhood Watch representative is a bit too…watchful! My review will follow on the blog.
I also decided to DNF two books this week – not a decision I take lightly but life is too short to read books you don’t like, I think.
What are you reading now?
I’m still working my way through the NetGalley backlog with the help of the supportive Twitter group led by Emandherbooks. I’ve made more progress in Laura Purcell’s ‘The Shape of Darkness’ which I really like – even if it keeps being put on the back burner for blog tour books!
I’m also still reading ‘Rebecca’ by Daphne du Maurier with the bunch at TheWriteReads. I am enjoying it but am quite frustrated at the narrator who I just keep willing to stand up for herself!
I’m also reading ‘Banking on Murder’ by J D Whitelaw for a blog tour for Red Dog Press. This is a (so far) cosy crime novel about a detective agency set up by three sisters. It’s cheery and lively and I’m enjoying it so far – review to follow in December.
What do you think you will read next?
I’ve finally got my act together and decided which of my NetGalley books and other proofs I am most excited about reading – these will be my next books. You can see my list of these books – ones that I am anticipating most from the 2021 crop – here.

Happy reading and good luck with your NetGalley books!
Thanks – I think I need a miracle to clear the backlog!
You never want to DNF a book, but sometimes it happens! No use wasting time on a book you aren’t enjoying for whatever reason.

Yeah, I’m usually so good at choosing books so I hope it is a temporary lapse in judgement!
I love your copy of Rebecca 😍 It’s so much more fun reading it with you all and I totally agree about the narrator, lol. Great post!
Thanks – reading Rebecca with you all has definitely kept me going 😊
I’m looking forward to reading The Shape of Darkness.
Have a great week of reading!
It is really good so far – I just can’t see where it is going and I love that!
I’m always glad to see WWW Wednesday posts where the person says they haven’t read much because MOOD.
Yeah, I had to be honest – I’m not really feeling it at the moment!
