WWW Wednesday {July 15, 2020}

WWW Wednesday is a weekly meme currently hosted by Sam at Taking on a World of Words. The three W’s stand for the following questions: What are you currently reading? What did you recently finish reading? What do you think you’ll read next? To participate, make a post or comment answering the three questions, link up to the host (Sam)’s post, and check out what others are reading and talking about! I typically participate once a month, approximately in the middle of the month, as a halfway check-in on my monthly reading goals.

What Am I Currently Reading?

🎧 Neverseen (Keeper of the Lost Cities #4) by Shannon Messenger – Middle Grade Fantasy

📚 The Problem of Pain by C. S. Lewis – Nonfiction, Christian Philosophy/Theology

📚 The Sky Above Us (Sunrise at Normandy #2) by Sarah Sundin – Historical Fiction – World War Two

📚 The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger – Fiction, Modern Classic/Modernism

 

What Did I Recently Finish Reading?

📚 A Strand of Hope (Librarians of Willow Hollow #1) by Amanda Tero – Historical Fiction – 1930s Kentucky Pack Horse Librarians: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I completely love this book! It tackles difficult issues, the protagonist is a member of the Pack Horse Librarian project of the 1930s, and it is soaked in scripture. Full review to come!

📚 We Alcotts by Aileen Fisher – Fictionalized biography of Abba May Alcott (Louisa May Alcott’s mother): ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is so well-written, it was fun to read and put a lot of pieces in place about LMA’s childhood which I had heard but failed to connect.

📚 Immersed in West Africa by Terry Lister – Nonfiction Travelogue: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

My Review Here

 

What Might I Read Next?

📚 Genreflecting by Cynthia Orr – Nonfiction, Library Science

I already have this checked out, but I haven’t done more than flip through it yet.

🎧 Throne of Grace by Cecily Wolfe (Cliffwalk Courtships #1) – Historical Fiction, Clean Romance

📚 Everything Remaining on This List 

I set several goals for Summer Reading this year, and while I am making steady progress, I can’t let up yet if I want to achieve them all!

With everything that is going on, I am glad I have found time to keep up with reading. I have read some very good books lately, and I hope the trend continues!

What’s on your reading list this week?

Until the next chapter,
