📚 WWW Wednesday | 13th January 2021

Good morning, fellow bookworms. It is ‘Hump Day’ Wednesday which means we are halfway through the working week (if you’re at work) and it is time for WWW Wednesday! A weekly meme hosted by Taking on a World of Words, which simply involves answering the following Three Ws:

What are you currently reading?

What did you recently finish reading?

What do you think you’ll read next?

Only a week has passed since my last WWW post this time and while it has gone relatively quick, I do weirdly feel like a month has passed at the same time! I blame the crazy times we are living in! So let’s escape all that with a delve into the books I’ve been worming my way into recently:

---

~ Currently Reading ~

At present, I am totally gripped by the dual-narrative historical-fiction, The Phantom Tree by Nicola Cornick: the gripping tale of the loves, losses and adventures of Alison Banestre and her cousin, Mary Seymour, which slips between present day and 1557, and has a dash of the supernatural for good measure, too! I am finding it hard to put this down and if I didn’t (irritatingly) need to eat, sleep and go to work, I would have finished it long ago! 😅

I have also continued dipping in and out of my new cookbook, The Green Roasting Tin by Rukmini Iyer, which I received from my Secret Santa at work. Thank you, Secret Santa! 🎅 So far, it is proving a great collection of vegan and vegetarian one tray recipes, which has be salivating just thinking about cooking them!

~ Recently Finished ~

Not long after my last WWW post, I polished off The Mother’s Day Mystery by Peter Bartram, which is another of Bartram’s nostalgic crime novels, to follow Colin Crampton: ace crime reporter for the Brighton Evening Chronicle, in the 1960s. This time he was investigating the mysterious hit-and-run killing of a grammar school pupil, out on a rarely used cliffside road. Full of twists and turns, laughs, danger, charm and a solution I never saw coming, this was jolly good, crime fun! 🔎

I have also managed to post my mini reviews of the two non-fictions: Luther and the 9.5 Theses by Kenneth Brownell ⭐ & Martin Luther and John Calvin by Charles River Editors ⭐⭐.

~ Reading Next ~

I am tempted to pick up the cosy crime caper, The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman, about a group of amateur sleuths in an upmarket retirement village investigating a murder a bit too close to home, next. This is the debut novel from the TV presenter and Pointless creator, which I have heard great things about and it is already a bestseller!

That’s it for now, folks! All that is left to say is take care, happy reading, and please feel free to share a link in the comments below for your own WWW post, so we can come check it out! I hope to see you again next week for some more bookish chat! 👋📚😃

Now I’d love to hear from you: Have you read any of these? What have you been reading? What do you think you’ll read next?
