Man, I haven’t done a reading wrap-up in over a month. Of course, I’m still busy with the #AtoZChallenge. However, I’d like to share what I’ve been reading and will be reading next anyway. I’m joining in with WWW Wednesday and also (a little late) with #IMWAYR.
What I’m Currently Reading
Wonder by R.J. Palacio. I bought it on a whim last week and have been loving it so far, though reading August’s sister’s perspective is a bit triggering.
Also still not done with Heroine by Mindy McGinnis. Then again, I’m not really reading that one right now.
I picked up listening to Matilda by Roald Dahl, narrated by Kate Winslet, again. I still can’t seem to get used to a female voice narrating it.
What I Recently Finished Reading
Not much. I mean, I finally finished Left Neglected by Lisa Genova a few weeks ago. After that, I was in a bit of a reading rut until I picked up Wonder. I did download and read some free bedtime stories by Uncle Amon, but that hardly counts.
What I Think I’ll Be Reading Next
I stacked the shelves with a couple middle grade novels that I think are going to be exciting. The one I think I’ll be reading next is Wink by Rob Harrell. That one actually got me to buy Wonder.
In addition, I’ve been looking at some adult romances to read. I would really like to read either Things You Save in a Fire or How to Walk Away by Katherine Center. Still in doubt as to which one to buy first.
What are you up to reading?
I loved Wonder so very much when I read it! Interesting that you find August’s sister’s narrative triggering, some bits of it also didn’t sit right with me, but still, the book overall was great. So was Left Neglected.

I’m glad you loved Wonder. Left Neglected was good too, but a little hard to get through at times.

I loved Things You Save in a Fire and How To Walk Away. I will soon be reading the author’s newest book, What You Wish For.
Enjoy! Here’s MY WWW POST

I’ve seen a lot of people loving Wonder, but I haven’t read it yet. Are you planning on reading the rest of the books in the series if you like that one? Happy reading!
Here’s my WWW post.

I’m not sure. I find it hard to understand how the series is built up. Like which book to read next.

Hmm, I like the idea of listening to Matilda — it’s such a favourite of mine, and I bet some narrators have a whale of a time with it.
Here’s my post!

Thanks. Yeah, I listened to the Dutch audiobook as a child and loved it. Then again, it was narrated by a man, which is why I can’t get used to Kate Winslet reading the English one.

We love the Matilda and Wonder movies around here. I don’t think I’ve read Matilda. I’m on the library waiting list for my first Katherine Center book 🙂 Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for commenting. I’ve never seen the movies for either Matilda or Wonder. Glad you liked them though.
