WWW Wednesdays #4 – June 3rd

WWW Wednesdays

I know it’s a bit late…but my sister came into town this morning and I’ve been running around non-stop all day and I just really want to take a nap right now. Sleeeeeep. ANYWAY. WWW Wednesdays is a weekly bookish meme formally hosted by MizB of A Daily Rhythm, and revived by Sam of Taking on a World of Words. This meme consists of answering the following three questions:

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

What am I currently reading?

I’m still currently reading The Hostile Hospital by Lemony Snicket, the eighth book in the A Series of Unfortunate Events series. Even though it’s a short read I’ve been reading my other book, plus catching up on some comics. Hopefully I’ll have this one finished by next week. Doubt it though…I need a vacation where I do nothing but read!

 

I am also currently reading the fourth book in the Nikki & Michael series, Kiss the Night Goodbye by Keri Arthur. I’m still really liking this series and am hoping the ending will be satisfying.

 

 


What did I recently finish reading?

I recently finished the third book in the Nikki & Michael series, Chasing the Shadows by Keri Arthur. This one was another great installment in the series with another great antagonist.

 

 


What do I think I’ll read next?

3Next I’m planning on re-reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by J.K. Rowling. And of course the rest of the series after that. I’ve been wanting to re-read this series for awhile now and this past weekend there was a marathon on ABC Family so it really put me in the mood.

I’m still plugging away at The Hostile Hospital by Lemony Snicket, the eighth book in the A Series of Unfortunate Events series, as well as the third book in the Nikki & Michael series, Chasing the Shadows by Keri Arthur. It’s been a busy week but I’ll at least be able to finish Chasing the Shadows tonight and start the fourth and final book in the series, Kiss the Night Goodbye. On to the teasers!

My teaser from The Hostile Hospital:

When Violet, Klaus, and Sunny first boarded the V.F.D. van, they were so worried about avoiding capture that they scarcely took a look around them until they were quite far away from the Last Chance General Store. But when the shopkeeper was merely a speck on the flat and empty landscape, the children turned their attention to their new hiding place.

My teaser from Chasing the Shadows:

“Could you please tell Mr. Harris that Nikki James and Michael Kelly are here to see him?” Power caressed the air as Michael spoke. For a heartbeat, the cop’s eyes went blank. Nikki clenched her fists and bit back her instinctive comment.

What am I currently reading?

I’m currently reading  The Hostile Hospital by Lemony Snicket, the eighth book in the A Series of Unfortunate Events series. As I just mentioned yesterday in my Teaser Tuesdays post, a few months ago I found out Netflix is planning on making a live-action TV show based on this series! And since I never finished reading it when I was younger, I’ve been slowly working my way through it.

 

I am also currently reading the third book in the Nikki & Michael series, Chasing the Shadows by Keri Arthur. I’m still really enjoying this series so far and I’m sad that there is only one more book after this one. Hopefully it will have a satisfying ending.

 

 


What did I recently finish reading?

I just finished  My Soul to Take by Rachel Vincent, the first book in the Soul Screamers series. It was an enjoyable read with a unique plot. I wished I liked the main character a bit more, but I’m hoping she’ll grow on me as I continue reading this series.

 

 


What do I think I’ll read next?

My Soul to Save (Soul Screamers, #2)

Next I’m planning on reading My Soul to Save by Rachel Vincent, the second book in the Soul Screamers series. Since I’m reading both this series and A Series of Unfortunate Events on my NOOK, I’ll probably start this up after I finish with The Hostile Hospital.

Teaser Tuesdays #3 – May 26th

Teaser Tuesdays

Wow, this week has just gone by extremely fast for me. I can’t believe it’s Tuesday already. It feels like I seriously just did one of these posts… xD I recently got another part-time job and I’ve been working every day since last Sunday so I’m pretty wiped out, but in a good way? Since I’m enjoying the job so far. Things will be slowing down until Friday so I’m trying to enjoy my down-time while I have some. Anyway, I’m rambling. It’s Teaser Tuesday time people! Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme hosted by MizB of A Daily RhythmTo play along just follow the rules below!

I’m currently at that weird point where I just finished up a book yesterday but haven’t had any time to start another. BUT, I’m planning on reading The Hostile Hospital by Lemony Snicket, the eighth book in the A Series of Unfortunate Events series. I mentioned in my last book tag that I’ve been slowly reading this series – having never finished it when I was younger – because I heard Netflix is planning on making a TV show based off it.

Like myself, I’m sure many fans of this series are excited about this news because the movie…well yeah, it just wasn’t that good. So we’ll see how the show turns out. Sadly I have no idea when the show will air or anything more specific about the show, but hopefully it will be in the next few years. If you’re reading this and have any more current news then please let me know in the comments! :) Once again I’m rambling, so I’m going to shut up now and give you the teaser…

My teaser from The Hostile Hospital:

“Hend,” said Sunny in disagreement. Violet was about to explain that her sister meant something along the lines of “Actually, I worked as an administrative assistant at Prufrock Preparatory School,” but the intercom speaker was too busy reproving the Baudelaires, a phrase which here means “shouting ‘Be silent!'” at every opportunity.

There you are! Have you read this series? What are your thoughts on it? And the soon-to-be Netflix show? Please let me know in the comments below!

Happy reading! :)
