The Three Ws are:
What did you recently finish reading?
What are you currently reading?
What do you think you’ll read next?
Recently Finished :
The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie -- The "Currently Reading" from last week's WWW Wednesday and the book for the most recent Book Beginnings & Friday 56 post ... and supposedly one of the books you should read before you die. Sadly, it's not even in my top 5 of Agatha Christie novels. Ah well. At least it's crossed off my list.
Currently Reading:
When Major Spencer Haddock’s father dies, he returns to England as the Earl of Middlefield. He seeks a typical marriage, where his wife will provide him with an heir and possibly other children and then they go their separate ways. He intends to find his countess quickly and not waste time at boring social affairs. Lady Tessa Foster delays her come-out for several years in order to care for her ill parents. Now out of mourning, Tessa is eager to be introduced in Polite Society so she can find a husband and start a family of her own. When Spence attempts to save Tessa from a thief brandishing a knife, she turns and attacks Spence. He quickly learns that instead of the pliant woman he thought he wanted as his countess, he desires Tessa—a woman of beauty and valor who stands up for herself and those she cherishes.
This is the first in a new series that, from the looks of it, will have seven books. I'm only at the 16% mark as I type this and I'm already in awe and looking forward to devouring everything Alexa Aston writes. It will be this week's Book Beginnings & Friday 56 .... if I can wait that long.
What's Next?
When I requested
Educated by the Earl on NetGalley I also requested, well, pretty much everything Dragonblade Publishing had to offer ... including the fourth book in Mary Lancaster's
Pleasure Garden series. This, of course, means that I will need to read the first three ... which, thankfully, are all on Kindle Unlimited and, therefore, ready to go as soon as
Educated by the Earl is finished. Look for one big giant ramble on Sunday because I have a very good feeling about these being perfect fodder for staying up past my bedtime and, therefore, perfect for an
I'll Sleep When I've Read... post.
Series Description from
Amazon:
Premise: Set in Maida Gardens, fictional fading pleasure gardens in London (like Vauxhall or Ranelagh). Very mixed clientele from daring or bored aristocrats to thieves, swindlers and women of the demi-monde. Notorious for romantic assignations, intrigue, adulterous liaisons and crime. Masked balls are held twice a week, and licentious behaviour is normal. No one is quite who or what they seem. Opportunity for lots of fun with mistaken identities, mystery and adventure.
Theme: Unmasking; people are not always as they seem; learning to see behind more than physical masks to the real person.

Your current read looks good! Enjoy, and thanks for sharing. Here's MY WWW POST
Love seeing all the historical romance. Here's my WWW.
Educated by the Earl sounds appealing. I spent a year as an editor of women's fiction and got very picky - cannot stand anachronims in historical romance!
