The three Ws are:

What are you currently reading?
“All right, Irene thought, I have officially met someone who makes even more reckless plans than I do. ‘This could indeed be the beginning of a beautiful friendship,’ she agreed, and she couldn’t help smiling.”
The Masked City by Genevieve Cogman. I picked this one up from the library yesterday and am looking forward to getting started on it. I read the first book in the series, The Invisible Library, earlier this year and loved it. Hoping the second installment gives me the same warm feelings.
What did you recently finish reading?
“Vanity is a factor, but it is more a question of control. It is easier to trick others into perceiving you as beautiful if you can convince yourself you are beautiful. But mirrors have an uncanny way of telling the truth.”
Cinder by Marissa Meyer. This book certainly left me with that “meh” feeling. It just didn’t give me the fizz. Sandra @Reading Through the Nights recommends I try the rest of the series and I probably will read the next one, just to see if it gets better. As it is, for being such a popular book I was completely let down, especially after having enjoyed Heartless by the same author as much as I did. Sigh.
What do you think you’ll read next?
“Sometimes he wondered if most people experienced the world around them a little bit differently from their fellows, if the assumption of commonality was simply an illusion.”
What Angels Fear by C.S. Harris. From the sounds of it, this is a historical thriller with murder and mayhem. I could use a little mayhem, it’s the spice of life. You know, I couldn’t help but want to read this after so many people seemed to have their bowels in an uproar about it. Someone on Goodreads said that the book was, “…inappropriate for mankind’s eyes with it’s violence and disturbing themes.” I’ll judge that for myself, thanks.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday, and thanks for reading!
Sorry to hear you were disappointed by Cinder – It’s on my TBR after enjoying Heartless…

That’s a bummer about Cinder. I do like the series, but I think it gets better as it goes along. Then again, not every book is for everyone.

I agree that the Lunar Chronicles do get better. I thought Cinder was just okay, but I ended up loving the subsequent ones a lot more.
That quote makes me want to check out What Angels Fear, too! I love myself some macabre.
