WWW Wednesdays

Hello loves!! Hope you’re all doing just fine. As for me, I’ve had quite a stressful weekend and a very long tiring week that’s why this post is pretty late. My boyfriend was involved in a car accident (he’s fine and resting at home) Sunday morning around 1am as he was coming home from fishing. The driver who hit him ditched his own car and ran away. While I am very thankful that my boyfriend is doing well, it makes me so angry that some people can just walk/ran away from accidents. Anyway, I took a day off on Monday so that my boyfriend and I can meet up with a lawyer.

I went back to work Tuesday and had so much to do. To make matter worse, Monday night I was feeling under the weather. All I wanted was to rest Tuesday after work, but I had my company holiday party and that lasted until 10pm yesterday night. It was so cold and windy too and Castaway Banquet hall is located up in the Burbank Hills. I had a massive headache the entire time and couldn’t wait to get home. BUT I did win a Kindle Fire 7 so that made me feel a little better.

Anyway, that’s how the past few days have been for me. I did get some relaxing reading time so that’s always a good thing. Didn’t mean to be a downer, but let me lighten up the mood by going through my 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 recently finished reading The Heartbreak Cure by Amanda Ashby, The Sweetheart Sham by Danielle Ellison and Where I Found You by Heidi R. Kling. As I mentioned last week, The Heartbreak Cure was dragging a little bit, but it does pick up really well and I thoroughly enjoyed the story. It’s sweet, endearing, hilarious, and so cutesy! The Sweetheart Sham and Where I Found You are both absolutely heartwarming, adorable and so swoony. Definitely solid 5 stars reads for me. My week was jam-packed with Entangled Teen Sweets and I certainly loved it!

Read my review for The Heartbreak Cure Here. Review for The Sweetheart Sham and Where I Found You will be posted soon.

 

 

I am currently reading nothing since I’m feeling sick and just want to rest. Once I feel a little better, (hopefully by tomorrow or Friday) I plan on reading Hinder by Kristin Ping since I’m part of a blog tour next week.

The wooded hills of Oxfordshire conceal the remains of the aptly named Ashdown House–a wasted pile of cinders and regret. Once home to the daughter of a king, its secrets will unite three women across four centuries in a tangle of romance, deceit and destiny… 

1662–A queen 

Bound by sex and birth to live for everyone but herself–and to love always in secret–Elizabeth Stuart entrusts a pair of arcane artifacts to her faithful cavalier to keep safe for her rightful heir. But fate will not be generous to the Winter Queen, throwing the question of succession into turmoil, the aftermath of which will resonate through the generations.

1801–A courtesan 

Lavinia Flyte wanted so much more from life than to be a courtesan at the mercy of the cruel Lord Evershot. He has brought her to Ashdown, the home of his ancestors, for reasons he guards greedily. But the maids’ whispers of hidden treasures–a pearl with the power to foretell the future–consume her with a curiosity she confides only to her diary, unaware of the misfortune that threatens.

And the mystery that binds them 

Alarmed to hear her brother has gone missing at Ashdown Park, Holly Ansell is inexplicably drawn to the clues contained in the journal of a Regency courtesan who was living at the historic home when it burned to the ground two hundred years ago. Lured by the tragedy at Ashdown, Holly’s search leads her not only to the truth about Lavinia, but deeper into her own connection with the Winter Queen.

I believe I won this book on a giveaway from Shelf Awareness. I haven’t read that many historical fiction novels, but this one sounds really interesting — a tangle of romance, deceit and destiny is definitely something I would be into. Hopefully I get to this sooner rather than later… Oh you know… I just have to get through several books in my insanely out of control TBR.

What are some books on your TBR right now? Any thoughts about this book? Well, thanks for reading and have a wonderful day!
