Hello lovelies! Time for another WWW Wednesdays which is a weekly meme hosted by Taking on a World of Words.

Just answer these three questions:

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

I just recenty finished reading Northwoods Magic (Northwoods Fairy Tales #1) by Desiree Lafawn and Boomerang Boyfriend by Chris Cannon. With work kicking my butt every which way, I kind of had a reading slump. I do think I’m slowly getting out of it after finishing Northwoods Magic, which I love by the way.

I’m currently reading Black Bird of the Gallows by Meg Kasell and yes I know I’ve been reading this for a while. It’s not that I don’t like it… I actually really do. But there are some books I can read while it’s a bit slow at work or during break/lunch and some books I like reading when I’m curled up in bed. This is one of those books… It’s eerie and the concept is a bit dark, but I’m absolutely fascinated. However, since I was fighting a reading slump for a few days, I just decided to take it easy, catch up on shows, and sleep. I’m actually more than halfway done and since I’m out of that horrible reading slump, I have a good feeling that I’m going to finish this tonight or tomorrow. I’m also part of the Blog Tour, so be sure to check out my review on September 26.

I have a day off tomorrow because of Rosh Hashana (I work for Jewish Property Management Company), so I’m really hoping to get a lot of reading done and maybe take several bookstagram pictures too. Anyway, I’m planning on reading Fraternize by Rachel Van Dyken, No Plain Rebel (No Ordinary Star #2) by M.C. Frank, and Nyxia by Scott Reintgen. I’m excited to start No Plain Rebel so I’m definitely starting that today.

So what are your WWW Wednesday? Have you read any of these? Leave a comment down below.

Here goes!

Witching for bodies in a cemetery was not my idea of a fun Halloween dare, yet I stood at the mouth of a graveyard, dividing rods in hand. At least that’s what Nell called them. Ten minutes ago, they were each half of a metal coat hanger. Nell’s eyes had practically sparkled as she snipped the hangers with wire cutters by the light of her BMW’s headlights, and then bent them into L shapes. Then she handed me the finished product and flashed a dimpled simple smile. No spells. No special withcy juju. I mean, how potent could these things actually be?

Now scroll down…

Not quite yet, so keep going…

Almost there….

Just a little more…

When Allie’s best friend dares their group to play a game in a cemetery—something she calls “witching”—Allie never expects what it might mean for her. When she plays, she doesn’t just find bodies, she summons their souls. But one soul wants more than Allie is willing to give.

And the boy next door could be the key to saving her.

Cody Burkhart. Straight from Montana, cowboy hat wearing, and smoking hot, he’s just the thing to help Allie become “normal” again after the death of her mother. And as her newly appointed Guardian, he’s also just the thing to help Allie ward off the vengeful spirit who’s after her soul. Except Cody has his own demons to slay that keep him closed off. But as the full moon approaches, so does their only chance to break the curse, and Cody will have to make the biggest sacrifice of all.

This book sounds really amazing. I’m going to be starting this today and I can’t wait. I won’t have my review up until a few days after the release since I’m part of the blog tour.
