The Three Ws are: What are you currently reading?What did you recently finish reading?What do you think you’ll read next?
I borrowed The Shadow of What Was Lost from the library and so far I am enjoying the hell out of it. I am currently 20% in at the time of writing up this post.
I am listening to The Intruder by Freida McFadden. It was available on Hoopla as an instant borrow, and since it’s a new book I snagged it up.
It’s the end of the year and with all the holiday shenanigans coming up I am leaving my TBR open ended. I’ll read whatever I am in the mood for and just wing it till January. This will probably be my last WWW Wednesday until the new year as well.

I am listening to The Woman On The Ledge thanks to Libby. This one is also really good and I am listening as much as possible.
I read and listened to Snow Place Like Home for the #HoHoHoRAT. A cute holiday read that wasn’t super cheesy!

Starting this month off with an ARC of Such A Clever Girl by Darby Kane.
I borrowed Malice from the library so I am gonna start it and see how it goes.
I am listening to Dark Arts and A Daiquiri for the Read-along I am participating in.
This wasn’t doing it for me in the slightest and I forced myself through it thinking it would get better. I will not be posting about this one on my blog.
These ARCs are slated to be read before the year is over. I always feel like December is a huge mood month for me but I want to try to get to these before the new year.
The Three Ws are: What are you currently reading?What did you recently finish reading?What do you think you’ll read next?
I am determined to make significant progress in Conceal Don’t Feel this week.
I am trying to squeeze in one more ARC in this month. I just started Friends and Liars yesterday.
I am listening to Good As Dead, a backlog book. It ticks off a couple of boxes for some challenges I am doing. I should be done with this one in a few days, I am flying through it.
My review of The Writer will be up on the blog tomorrow.

My reading has been nuts this week! I am slowly making my way through Empire of Silence. I am a few chapters in and enjoying it so far!
I am reading NYPD Red 8, an Edelweiss ARC on my Kindle.
And I am also sprinkling in Thanksgiving Overruled, a holiday novella, when I want to switch things up.
Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnddd I am mainly listening to The Writer. I have the hardback copy thanks to James Patterson’s Street Team but saw my library had an audiobook available. Sometimes I dual read and sometimes I just listen, depending on what I have going on. I am not too far into this one.
I borrowed a hardcover copy of Conceal Don’t Feel from a book borrowing group I am apart of on Facebook. It will be my next read.
I am focusing on ARCs for the rest of this month and Friends and Liars and Such A Clever Girl are up next to be read on my Kindle. Hoping to finish both of these before the month is over.
The Three Ws are: What are you currently reading?What did you recently finish reading?What do you think you’ll read next?
I barely started Empire of Silence (first book in The Sun Eater series). I plan to read it slow and savor it, since it’s a hefty one.
I am also reading The Passengers on my Kindle, which has been slow going since I keep falling asleep before making any good progress in the story… not because the story is boring (it’s absolutely not), but because I am just exhausted. Yesterday I had the day off of work and made a TON of progress in this one. Should be finished before the weekend.
I have this as an eBook from Netgalley, but borrowed the audiobook from the library to listen to. I am enjoying the Eddie Flynn series and Adam Sims is a great narrator. This one wasn’t catching my interest in the beginning but I kept going and now it’s hooking me. I am hoping to be done with this one by the weekend.
I borrowed the hardcover of All Systems Red from my library. Three stars and will be continuing this series to at least book 2 so I can watch the TV show soon.
The Night House took me for a wild ride. It was a good, creepy story to finish right before Halloween. It’s definitely not a book for everyone though.
I want to read The Kill Clause for a HRCYED prompt and Thanksgiving Overruled is an ARC I have to read and review before a certain date. I am making them top priorities. Plus they are both under 100 pages so they should be quick reads.
The 11:59 Bomber (NYPD Red 8) publishes at the end of this month so I want to read it before then. Gonna try my best!
The Three Ws are: What are you currently reading?What did you recently finish reading?What do you think you’ll read next?
CURRENTLY:
I posted about these two on my Sunday Salon post. Both are library books I am trying to power though and finish before November.
I did not listen to any horror Halloween-ish books this October. This audiobook was available now through my library so I snagged it. It’s definitely odd but I am gonna keep listening.
RECENTLY:
I borrowed the paperback from a friend and finished in on Sunday. Three stars.
I borrowed an audiobook of a Netgalley book, Fifty Fifty by Steve Cavanagh. Four stars.
NEXT:
Netgalley November is practically here. Gonna see how much progress I can make on my virtual shelf there. These are in my top three to get to!
The Three Ws are: What are you currently reading?What did you recently finish reading?What do you think you’ll read next?
CURRENTLY:
I am currently reading an eBook I got for free back in November 2019 on Amazon called Slave, Warrior, Queen by Morgan Rice. It’s a YA fantasy romance (per Storygraph tags). I literally scrolled through almost my entire Kindle shelf on Sunday night looking for a book to read. Nothing was calling to me. Lets hope this isn’t the start of a reading slump!
I am listening to a book I have in my NetGalley backlog, Fifty Fifty by Steve Cavanagh. I was told that the Eddie Flynn series doesn’t have to be read in order, and I now know that that’s pretty true since I read two books out of order, so what’s a third, haha! Anyway, I borrow the book through Libby and only started listening on Saturday night.
I am reading a physical book I am borrowing from a friend called Caught by Harlan Coben. Coben is from New Jersey as well, and I enjoy reading his books. I made really good progress in this book on the weekend and am hoping to have the book finished by next weekend.
RECENTLY:
I listened to three books in the Amazon Original Stories Scared Sexy Collection. After listening to three of them, I’m good to not finish the rest of the series.
NEXT:
I plan to do NetGalley November challenge next month, so I’m gonna start with a autumn-looking cover and read Such A Clever Girl by Darby Kane (which publishes early next year).
I will probably listen to a NetGalley backlogged book that I can find through Libby.
I borrowed All System’s Red by Marcia Wells from my local library, so this will be my next physical book to read.
The Three Ws are: What are you currently reading?What did you recently finish reading?What do you think you’ll read next?
I am currently reading an eBook I got for free back in April 2019 on Amazon called The Hangman’s Daughter by Oliver Pötzsch. The cover is giving creepy vibes, as well as the title of course!
I am doing a big read-along with fellow bloggers and listening to the next book in the line up, Warping Minds & Other Misdemeanors by Annette Marie and Rob Jacobsen. I should be done with this one by the end of the week!
I am reading a physical book I am borrowing from a friend called Caught by Harlan Coben. Coben is from New Jersey as well, and I enjoy reading his books.
My review of Whispers Of The Lake can be found on Storygraph.
I gave Headless Hollow 4 stars on NetGalley. (A super spicy modern retelling of Sleepy Hollow)
The Bone Queen feels like a book I should read in the -ber months lol. I have this ARC thanks to NetGalley (publishes next year).
I like to listen to Amazon Original Stories and this month theme is Scared Sexy. I decided to start with an author I am familiar with and go with Ruby Dixon’s Space Vampire.
I was sent a physical paperback copy with sprayed edges of Horror Movie by Paul Trembly from (I believe) HarperCollins. It’s my next physical book on my TBR.
The Three Ws are: What are you currently reading?What did you recently finish reading?What do you think you’ll read next?
I am currently reading an Edelweiss ARC of The Midnight Knock. I just started it yesterday and fell asleep before making any good progress in the book.
I found a Listen Now audiobook on NetGalley of Headless Hollow, a Sleepy Hollow modern retelling with an erotic romantic twist. I think it’s duet narration and I am here for it! It’s a novella so I should have it finished later today.
I received a physical ARC of The Picasso Heist by James Patterson, for being apart of his Street Team. It publishes next week and I am trying my best to sit and read it but I’ve been sooooooooooooo busy!
The Three Ws are: What are you currently reading?What did you recently finish reading?What do you think you’ll read next?
I am currently reading an eBook library loan, Whispers Of The Lake. I’ve been crazy busy this week so I did not get a ton of eyeball reading in. So far I am intrigued with this story. I am hoping to make some good progress on it this weekend.
I had an audiobook of Night Will Find You on Netgalley since 2023 and just never got around to it. I should be done with this one by Friday. It’s a good story and I will probably rate it pretty high.
I received a physical ARC of The Picasso Heist by James Patterson, for being apart of his Street Team. It publishes early next month so I put it on my September TBR. I am hoping to also make a dent in this one come the weekend.
The Three Ws are: What are you currently reading?What did you recently finish reading?What do you think you’ll read next?
I am really trying to focus on keeping up with my ARCs before publication day this month.
I signed up to receive Darby Kane’s newest Novella (that is coming out next month) titled The Wife Deserved It, thanks to Thriller Book Lovers: The Pulse. It’s only 115 pages should I should be through it rather quickly.
I had an audiobook of Party of Liars on Netgalley, but the Netgalley Shelf app is AWFUL and somehow Netgalley Admins are saying I did not download the audio before it archived. Bullocks because I always download my Netgalley books and audiobooks the minute I am approved because I am paranoid I would lose access to an ARC/ALC. ANYWAY!!!!!!!!!! I ended up borrowing it through Libby so I can review it on Netgalley when I am finished.

The Three Ws are: What are you currently reading?What did you recently finish reading?What do you think you’ll read next?
I am really trying to focus on keeping up with my ARCs before publication day this month, so all my library books are on the back burner (boooooo!)
I received an ARC for Too Close To Home by Seraphina Nova Glass, her newest novel that comes out Spring of next year. I promised to review it here on my blog & Instagram before the end of the month, and with keeping to keep up with my ARCs this one is next on the list to get to.
I also have an ALC from Macmillan Audio of the second book in the Curse Bearer series, To Clutch A Razor by Veronica Roth. It’s a short audiobook so I am hoping to power through it this week. (And lets hope I remember what happened in the first book haha!)
I have not had a lot of time to sit with my physical library book of All The Sinners Bleed by S.A. Cosby. I am enjoying the book so far, it’s just being pushed so I can keep up with ARCs. I know I will finish it before the end of the month, it’s just gonna be a slow go with it.
Q: How is your September reading journey going so far?
The Three Ws are: What are you currently reading?What did you recently finish reading?What do you think you’ll read next?
I am currently reading The Wasp Trap by Mark Edwards. It’s a locked room thriller with a lot of characters. So far I am just rolling with it and seeing how it’s playing out. I am 50% in at the writing up of this post. I am trying my very best to read my ARCs before their publication date for the rest of the year. This one publishes in two weeks.
I borrowed a physical copy of All The Sinners Bleed by S.A. Cosby. It’s due back at the library soon, so I made it a priority!
I am listening to The Memory Collectors by Dete Meserve via Libby. I had seen it on Netgalley a few months ago, requested it, but I was denied. I had Libby notify me when it was added to their catalog and jumped on the waitlist. The other day it was my turn to borrow it. So far, it’s holding my interest. I like the multiple narrators, which I think the story definitely needs.
The Three Ws are: What are you currently reading?What did you recently finish reading?What do you think you’ll read next?
The weather here in New Jersey has been cooler and less summery, so I switched to a Fall theme for this post :)
I am currently reading Play Dirty by Luna K. Wicked. Not my typical genre but I signed up to review this ARC before publication date (which is in September).
I borrowed a physical copy of Thirteen by Steven Cavanaugh. It’s a book I borrowed from a friend so I’m making it a priority instead of my library books.
I am listening to Dead of Summer by Jessa Maxwell. I received an ARC through Edelweiss a few months back but decided to borrow the audiobook through the library to get through it quicker, since I missed the publication date in July.
The Three Ws are: What are you currently reading?What did you recently finish reading?What do you think you’ll read next?
I am currently reading The Deceiving Look, the last book in the Shepard & Gray trilogy. I’m halfway through the book as of this morning. I don’t want this series to end :(
I borrowed a physical copy of Thirteen by Steven Cavanaugh. It’s a book I borrowed from a friend so I made it a priority instead of my library books.
I NFNed (not for now) the audiobook of Forget Me Not by Stacy Willingham- it just wasn’t hitting for me. This afternoon I am starting The Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Anderson. It’s for a challenge I am doing and it’ll be a quick listen. Plus it’ll break up the thriller streak I am on, lol!
Q: Any last minute books you want to fit in before the summer is over?
The Three Ws are: What are you currently reading?What did you recently finish reading?What do you think you’ll read next?
I am currently reading The Deceiving Look, the last book in the Shepard & Gray trilogy. It’s gonna be a doozy I can see it a mile away!
I borrowed a physical copy of All The Sinners Bleed because I’ve been wanting to read a S.A. Cosby book and it was sitting on the shelf in my library. I grabbed it and ran!
I am listening to All Good People Here because it was recommended to me. This book seems so-so so far. I’m almost done with this audiobook at the writing up of this post.
The Three Ws are: What are you currently reading?What did you recently finish reading?What do you think you’ll read next?
I am currently reading book 2 of the Shepard & Gray series by Victor Methos. His books are easy to fly through and the stories are great! I am trying to read the whole trilogy this month and being on book 2 this early feels like a win. The Grave Singer
I borrowed a physical copy of The Haunting In The Arctic from a Facebook group I am in. So far I am enjoying the book! I’m about 100 pages in at this point so this will one should be done by the middle of the month no problem.
I am just starting All Good People Here on Audiobook. My library had it to borrow right away and I’ve been hearing good stuff about it. Plus two of my top narrators are narrating, so it should be a good time!
Q: Any August reading goals you want to accomplish?
The Three Ws are: What are you currently reading?What did you recently finish reading?What do you think you’ll read next?
I am currently reading Salem’s Fall by Rektok Ross, a NetGalley ARC, on my Kindle paperwhite. Trying to get that ratio up this summer!
I borrowed a physical copy of Prince of Thorns by Mark Lawrence from my library. I wanted to start a shorter fantasy series and after doing some research online, I decided on this one. Plus, I like the cover lol.
I am gonna be listening to The Girl In The Creek by Wendy N. Wagner starting today. This is a new to me author and I chose this audiobook from Macmillan’s Influencer program. This month I’ve been in my horror era so I am just rolling with it!
The Three Ws are: What are you currently reading?What did you recently finish reading?What do you think you’ll read next?
I want to get to so many books this summer that I am overwhelming myself. I need to slow down, and not worry about the future- just enjoy the books I am currently reading.
The last eBook I read was Falling For Them by Calista Jayne. This book was sitting on my Kindle for a few years, so I quickly blew through it. Not a fan. Will not continue the series. At the writing up of this post, I will have just started reading Dead of Summer by Jessa Maxwell. I plan to read The Wasp Trap by Mark Edwards next. My current and next eBooks are complimentary of Edelweiss.
The last audiobook I listened to was Good Neighbors by Chad Zunker. I am a fan of his books… although this short story I found through Prime Reading was just alright. It could of been a little bit longer and it would of been better. I am now listening to We Used To Live Here by Marcus Kliewer. I requested it through my library and have been on the waiting list for months. It was finally my turn to borrow it. I am halfway through it right now and it’s holding my interest. The next audiobook I plan to listen to is King of Ashes by S.A. Cosby- I was sent an audiobook widget from Macmillan. I keep hearing amazing things about this book on TikTok and I wanna listen to what all the hype is about!
I am trying to read more physical books, and this summer I want to get quite a few in (doubt it’s happening at this point). I am about to finish French Kiss by James Patterson & Richard DiLallo. I am currently, slowly, getting through Kill Your Darlings by Peter Swanson. I’ve heard good things about the book, but it’s pacing is too slow for me. I am pushing through it and hope to be done with it by next week. I plan to reread Sail by James Patterson next. It’s been YEARS since I read it (and don’t remember the plot one bit) but this book has been calling me to reread it so I am gonna this summer.
