WWW Wednesday is a weekly feature hosted by Sam at Taking On a World of Words. Three questions, three answers. Let’s go!
What did you recently finish reading?
The reading slump (and the depression) has not gone away quite yet, but I am working on it! I did finish my current read from my last WWW, which was The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley. I still maintain that this is the weirdest science-fiction novel I’ve ever read, but I enjoyed it. I also finished Heartless by Marissa Meyer, which was the book club pick for June. It’s what happens when you give Alice in Wonderland the Wicked treatment – the story of the Queen of Hearts and how she became the bad guy. Also very good.
What are you currently reading?
Currently reading the 2024 GoodReads Award winner for Best Fiction The Wedding People by Alison Espach. I’ve only just started it but I’m enjoying it so far.
What do you think you’ll read next?
Since I’ve made decent headway into my GoodReads Awards challenge, I think I’m going to hop back over to “Complete the Series” for a bit with Division of the Marked by March McCarron. This is a four book series of which I only read the first one – it was back in 2016, so i don’t really rememeber much about it, only that I liked it. I gave it five stars back then, so it must have been good. I guess we’ll find out!
That’s my reading for the week!

Life With No Plot 
I really enjoyed the Ministry of Time as well – and was lucky enough to see Kaliane Bradley speak at the Sydney Writers Festival. I have a post about it on my blog. It was a bit of a weird one for me too – I really enjoyed it, but I thought the end was a bit odd, and the pace was a bit uneven. I almost wish she had written it a bit more in the style of a thriller / spy novel or something which I think was a little more what it was leaning toward by the end of the novel
Totally get that. To me, it didn’t really fit into the science fiction category at all. It was definitely more of a mystery with a little time travel thrown in. I guess that was what kept throwing me – I was expecting certain things with it being the award winner for the genre, but it turned out to be something completely different. I still really enjoyed it, it was just a bit odd. In a good way. 😉
