WWW Wednesday
Good Morning,
This week is moving by fast, isn’t it? I’ve had a rather annoyingly busy week so far with health stuff (mainly doctor visits), so I’m looking forward to November, which signifies the end of all that. But until then, it’s Halloween time!
Every Wednesday I participate in a meme called WWW Wednesday.
This meme is a challenge where you simply share what you’re reading, what you’ve recently finished, and what you hope to read in the near future.
The meme is currently handled by Taking On A World of Words, and anybody can participate.
Simply read the 3 W questions below and answer them should you want to:
- What are you currently reading?
- What did you recently finish reading?
- What do you think you’ll read next?
Currently Reading:
Blurb:
Jake wakes up one morning to find he is suddenly twenty-five years old, the Yeerks rule the world, all the other Animorphs are either dead or Yeerk-infested, and he alone is left to fight.

Opinion so far:
I’m reading this in between spooky reads as a palette cleanser of sorts. I’m about halfway through this, and I’m feeling a bit conflicted. On one hands things are getting interesting, but on the other, the first 50 pages or so were a bit confusing. There’s so much detail packed in that it was overwhelming. I guess we’ll see how the rest of it pans out!
Recently Finished:
Blurb:
Anderson is a police transcriptionist haunted by the tape left inside a dead cabbie’s taxi. Certain there is more to the death than meets the eye (or ear), Anderson pushes the Sergeant to delve further into it. The Sarge refuses, leading Anderson to force his superior into taking the matter more seriously. His actions reveal a dark world of Egyptian mythology and the consequences of trying to escape fate.
This story will leave you wondering….and checking behind your back.
GoodReads
Opinion so far:
This was a fun, creepy read. A questionable death, a very likeable main character, and something dark and unknown underneath it all made this very enjoyable.
Short Story Review: Transcription of Taxi 6473
Next on my TBR:
Opinion so far:
Up next on my TBR is The Darkest Touch by Joseph Sale. The dark theme of this book seemed perfect for Halloween, and I can’t wait to dig in! This will be my first time reading something by this author and was recommended by a good friend of mine, Iseult Murphy.
After that I’ll be reading The Girl Who Wasn’t There by Nick Clausen. This one kind of reminds me of my book Reaper, so I simply had to check this out. Girl gone missing, some supernatural craziness possibly behind it. Sounds like a great time! This was an impulse purchase months ago after Iseult Murphy mentioned it to me.
Last but certainly not least is Craven Manor by Darcy Coates. I’ve been wanting to read this and other books by this author for well over a year and I’m finally getting around to it thanks to my local library having a copy (this book is a bit pricy for me to just go out and buy without reading it first). Here’s hoping it’s a knockout! I love me some haunted houses!
That’s a Wrap!

Darcy Coates is so prolific. I’ve read Craven Manor, but there are so many more of her books I want to read!
Yeah, I’ve heard that as well. This was the first book of hers I wanted to read, so it felt fitting to read first.
Hopefully i will love it!
I just finished Wolves of the Calla by Stephen King last night after starting it over a month ago. Next I plan to finish the last half of Cujo by Stephen King.
I get how you feel about all the doctors appointments. I feel like all I do is go to the doctor lately and I keep having to put off other appointments I need to make because of more pressing ones.
Oh nice! Did you like it well enough? Ooo Cujo scared me as a little kid.
Yeah, it’s nuts! I’ve never had a lot of appointments but all of a sudden I have like five in the next week and a half. Like Jesus people, give me a break. I have a job! Lordy lordy
Umm yes it was definitely better than the previous 2 books in the series but honestly this series is way to long in my opinion and I’m ready for it to be over with. I can understand Cujo scaring you as a kid. If I read it when I was a kid it might have scared me but right now I am disappointed in it.
Yeah it’s crazy it’s like the older I get the more appointments I seem to need lol.
Oh you’re reading the dark tower series? Yeah I stopped after the third book.
I’ve never read Cujo so I’ll have to trust you on it. Not too interested in reading that one to be honest.
Right? I feel like age suddenly caught up with me after decades of nothing. The heck!
Yep Wolves of the Calla is the 5th book in the series and there’s 2 more.
I’ve never seen the movie. I’m hoping the last half of the book will be better than the first half. I’m working my way through Kings books so eventually I will hopefully have read them all.
Haha so true!!
Yeah it’s a lengthy series for sure. Oi!
Dang, you’re on a mission. Go for it!
