WWW Wednesday - May 29th / May wrap-up

Hi booklovers

I know I'm posting this two days late, but this can serve as my May wrap-up as well.

"Welcome to WWW Wednesday! This meme was formerly hosted by MizB at A Daily Rhythm and revived on Taking on a World of Words. Just answer the three questions below and leave a link to your post in the comments for others to look at. No blog? No problem! Just leave a comment with your responses.

I found this on Nadine's blog.

The Three Ws are: 

What are you currently reading?

What did you recently finish reading?

What do you think you’ll read next?

Currently reading:

It's been almost a month since I posted my last WWW Wednesday post.

I'm currently reading The Black Prism by Brent Weeks.

I've had The Way of Shadows by Brent Weeks on my TBR for ages and on my last visit to Waterstones and Sterling Books I bought The Black Prism after hearing Nadine rave about this series. Last week this one was calling out to me so I decided to pick it up (even though I had just finished a chunker of a fantasy book). 

It took me a while to get into the story and at one point I was very confused, but now I'm really enjoying it. I have the next two days off, so I hope I'll be able to read a good chunk of this.

I also started listening to Limited Wish by Mark Lawrence, the sequel to One Word Kill.

I really enjoyed One Word Kill and luckily the sequel came out yesterday. The third book comes out before the end of the year.

Recently finished:

Since my last post, I managed to finish 

Brieven van Marie by Lize Feryn

This was a great addition to the first book (Marie's Diary) and the tv-series. This one takes place after the war has ended and Marie writes letters to her unborn child. It was very touching and heart-breaking at times.

Spellslinger by Sebastien de Castell

This one took a very long time before the story really kicked off. I still enjoyed it and I will be continuing with the series. I still need to post my review for this :-/

3.75 stars

The Alloy of Law by Brandon Sanderson

I loved this almost as much as the original trilogy, even it's very different in a lot of ways. I loved the characters and the Sherlock Holmes-esque vibes. Again, I still need to post my review.

These were all books I finished in April. You can check out my O.W.L.s wrap-up to see what else I read in the month of April.

In the month of May I finished two books:

Ship of Destiny by Robin Hobb

This was a perfect conclusion to this wonderful trilogy. Even though this book is 900 pages I never got bored or confused. 

I'll be posting a series review of this trilogy hopefully soon.

One Word Kill by Mark Lawrence

This book was such a wonderful trip back to the decade of my childhood. I listened to this on audio and it was performed really well. Another review that is hopefully coming soon :-)

What's next?

As I'm still making my way through two books, I have absolutely no idea what I'll be picking up next. I'm hoping to read Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson in June, but other than that, I have no idea.

I've been thinking about doing a second round of the TBR readathon that Irina hosted last year, to help me pick my next read(s).

If you're interested, you can check out my TBR and wrap-up posts.

Have you read any of these books or are you planning to read any of them? Let me know in the comments.

Bye for now
