WWW Wednesday -- 19 January 2022

The Three Ws are:

What did you recently finish reading?

What are you currently reading?

What do you think you’ll read next?

(I switched the order around because it makes more sense to my brain)

Recently Finished :

This was a GREAT week for reading. Once I finished my re-read of The Man in the Brown Suit I dove in to Rachel Givney's Jane in Love -- which I teased and rambled about on Friday and Sunday.

I didn't think that there could possibly be a decent book to follow. I was having a bit of a book hangover from it .... but then came India Holton's The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels. 

I used this for my Tuesday Intros/Teaser Tuesday post yesterday and rather than use the usual two quotes -- one for the intro and one for the teaser -- I may have gone a bit overboard. I walked the plank, even. Because pirates.

My Current Read :

I have only just started The Body in the Garden as I was in deep mourning and recovery and whatnot from the last two books. I already know it was a great choice if only for this one exchange at 7% (Lily, by the way, is a young widow attending her first social event since returning to London):

I have the third book in the series from NetGalley already, but that isn't being released until August so I have plenty of time to catch up (and also get my hands on the second book). I'm guessing that this will be featured for this week's Book Beginnings & Friday 56 post.

What's Next :

Indecent is, I believe, the fourth book in The Phoenix Club series. I vaguely remember having read the first back during one of my "read but don't bother reviewing" phases of life being stupid. This was a "Read Now" on NetGalley so I figured what the heck. I may even backtrack and reread the first and catch up on the others at some point. Really, it's just a filler because I know that what's next will likely give me another hangover of the bookish variety.

Next would be my beloved Hester Fox, who is calling my name yet again. I pre-ordered the paperback of A Lullaby for Witches as soon as it was available. I was then given the eArc on NetGalley. Part of me is tempted to wait until February 1st when I should have it actually in my hands, but the waiting has already been dreadful and I could at least start with the digital.
