WWW Wednesday is a weekly book meme run by Sam over at Taking on a World of Words. Check out her post and others over on her 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
I’ve finished some things I wanted to get to, so I will be continuing The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas now, which I’m still technically in the middle of but haven’t touched since the end of September.
Recently Finished
Yesterday and today, I read volumes 15 and 16 of One-Punch Man by ONE and Yusuke Murata, finally getting past what I last saw of the story from the anime many years ago. I would’ve done this sooner, but some dweeb never returned volume 15 to my local library, so I had to buy a digital copy of that volume. I also finished reading the lion’s share of The Last Halloween: Children by Abby Howard last Thursday. I enjoyed this book more and more as it got further along, especially as the zaniness of the colourful cast of undead characters started to take more of a backseat and Mona had to seriously pursue her quest. The stakes were enjoyably high, losses were very impactful, and the volume left us with enough setups and lore that I’m really sad that this series is on indefinite hiatus. I could read a little further online, but it’s depressing to see the most recent page ends literally in the middle of a nondescript bit of action. It literally ends abruptly, so it hardly feels worth it. I hope Howard comes back to this project someday. Despite everything, I do kind of want to buy this book.
Reading Next
After finishing Monte Cristo finally, which simply must be prioritized now, I’m going to read some shorter books that have made their way to me recently, namely Beetle Moses by Harris Fishman and Mestra by Madeline Miller. The first is a webcomic collection from an artist whose work I’ve enjoyed very much, so I’m excited to make my way through this collection of comics old and new, and the second is technically Madeline Miller’s newest book, though it is a hardcover copy of a single short story. I can’t immediately recall what this one is about, but I anticipate enjoying it nonetheless. Miller has yet to disappoint so far.
Until next time, thank you for reading! Feel free to share your own post down below.
I’ve attempted The Count of Monte Christo a few times but have yet to make it to the end. I’ll conquer it eventually! I like the cover you’ve posted for The Last Halloween.
