WWW Wednesday #8

Hey, everyone! I hope you’re doing well.

WWW Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Sam @ Taking on a World of Words and how it works is I answer three questions about what I’m currently reading, what I recently finished reading, and what I plan to read next.

The three W’s:

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

What are you currently reading?

I’m currently reading Across the Universe (Across the Universe #1) by Beth Revis. I don’t usually read science fiction, but I’m really enjoying the story so far.

Synopsis: “A love out of time. A spaceship built of secrets and murder.

Seventeen-year-old Amy joins her parents as frozen cargo aboard the vast spaceship Godspeed and expects to awaken on a new planet, three hundred years in the future. Never could she have known that her frozen slumber would come to an end fifty years too soon and that she would be thrust into the brave new world of a spaceship that lives by its own rules.

Amy quickly realizes that her awakening was no mere computer malfunction. Someone—one of the few thousand inhabitants of the spaceship —tried to kill her. And if Amy doesn’t do something soon, her parents will be next.

Now Amy must race to unlock Godspeed’s hidden secrets. But out of her list of murder suspects, there’s only one who matters: Elder, the future leader of the ship and the love she could never have seen coming.”

What did you recently finish reading?

I recently finished reading Millicent Min, Girl Genius by Lisa Yee, Stormbreaker by Anthony Horowitz, and Night by Elie Wiesel.

Millicent Min, Girl Genius was an alright read. It’s a middle grade read, so it was aimed more at younger kids, but I still liked it.

I had a lot of fun reading Stormbreaker. It’s the first book in the Alex Rider series and it’s really intriguing. I’ve started watching the Alex Rider TV show, and that’s really good as well. The TV show doesn’t actually film the first book, it skips to the second, but it’s still really good all the same.

I’ve been reading Night for English class in school for about two months, and I finished it the other day. Wow, the book is really good and the writing is amazing, but. . . wow, it’s a lot to take in.

What do you think you’ll read next?

Honestly, I don’t really know. I have a list of a bunch of books that I’d like to read, but I don’t own any of them. I’d like to read the second book in the Across Universe series but it’s going to a while for me to get it. The most likely possibility though, is I’ll read 100 Days of Sunlight by Abbie Emmons next.

Synopsis: “When 16-year-old poetry blogger Tessa Dickinson is involved in a car accident and loses her eyesight for 100 days, she feels like her whole world has been turned upside-down.

Terrified that her vision might never return, Tessa feels like she has nothing left to be happy about. But when her grandparents place an ad in the local newspaper looking for a typist to help Tessa continue writing and blogging, an unlikely answer knocks at their door: Weston Ludovico, a boy her age with bright eyes, an optimistic smile…and no legs.

Knowing how angry and afraid Tessa is feeling, Weston thinks he can help her. But he has one condition — no one can tell Tessa about his disability. And because she can’t see him, she treats him with contempt: screaming at him to get out of her house and never come back. But for Weston, it’s the most amazing feeling: to be treated like a normal person, not just a sob story. So he comes back. Again and again and again.

Tessa spurns Weston’s “obnoxious optimism”, convinced that he has no idea what she’s going through. But Weston knows exactly how she feels and reaches into her darkness to show her that there is more than one way to experience the world. As Tessa grows closer to Weston, she finds it harder and harder to imagine life without him — and Weston can’t imagine life without her. But he still hasn’t told her the truth, and when Tessa’s sight returns he’ll have to make the hardest decision of his life: vanish from Tessa’s world…or overcome his fear of being seen.”
