Hello! I wasn’t able to get this post out yesterday, but I’m still excited to bring you this little reading update that’s only one day late. I honestly don’t have much to put here, so I’m going to dive right into this post!
WWW Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Sam @ Taking On a World of Words, and how it works is each week I answer three questions about my the books I’ve read, finished reading and want to read next.
WWW Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Sam @ Taking On A World of Words. How it works is I answer 3 questions:
What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading?
What do you think you’ll read next?
1: What are you currently reading?
I am currently reading The Girl Who Could Fly, by Victoria Forester. I read it a couple years ago and I saw it at the library and remembered like half the plot, so I decided to read it again.
I’m also reading the Seventh Most Important Thing, by Shelley Pearsall and I’m not that far into it, but it seems really good.
2: What did you recently finish reading?
I recently finished reading I am Princess X, by and finished listening to The 39 Clues books 8, 9 and 10.
3: What do you think you’ll read next?
I think that I’ll read the sequel to The Girl Who Could Fly, The Boy who Knew Everything. I am really enjoying The Girl Who Could Fly, so I’m really looking forwards to reading that one as well.
Hi, and thanks to Rukky@Eternity Books for suggesting this book tag to me. I’ve never really done any posts other than book reviews, and I started blogging a month ago, so, I’ll see how this goes!
#1 Recently Watched – The Last Book You Finished
I am Princess X. I finished it a couple days ago and haven’t been able to decide what to read next. I did finish the audiobook the 39 Clues book 7 the Viper’s Nest last night, so I guess both
#2 Top Picks – A Book That Has Been Recommended to You Based on What You Previously Have Read
The book The Sun is also a Star was recommended to me because I read Everything Everything, by Nicola Yoon.
#3 Recently Added – The Last Book You Purchased
I don’t usually buy books, but I finally used the gift certificate that I got for my birthday, 11 months ago, and I got the books Hattie Big Sky and its sequel Hattie Ever After, which are two of my favorite books, and Everything Everything by Nicola Yoon, which was so good, and I definitely recommend it.
#4 Popular on Netflix – Books That Everyone Knows (Two You’ve Read & Two You Have No Interest In)
I have no interest in reading the Harry Potter books; I read the first one and I did not like. I think that they’re okay books, but that they’re really overrated.
I have read the The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas, and it was really powerful; there’s a reason everybody knows it!
#5 Comedies – A Funny Book
The Wednesday Wars, by Gary D. Schmidt, is a very funny book, and I’ve read it a lot of times. It has lots of hilarious parts, but also coveres a lot of more serious topics at the same time.
#6 Dramas – A Character Who Is a Drama King/Queen
I think that Jane from The Penderwicks is definitely a drama queen, the opposite of her sister Rosalind, who’s always portrayed as the ‘sensible’ sister.
#7 Animated – A Book With Cartoons on the Cover
I can’t really think of a book with cartoons on the cover, because I don’t really read graphic novels that much.
#8 Watch it Again – A Book or Series You Want to Reread
I want to reread the book Absolutely Truly, by Heather Vogel Frederick, and its sequel, Yours Truly.
#9 Documentaries – A Nonfiction Book You’d Recommend to Everyone
I don’t read a huge amount of nonfiction, but Notorious RBG; the life and times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a really good biography, and about an amazing person!
#10 Action Adventure – An Action-Packed Book or Series
I don’t read a lot of action-packed books or series, but the 39 clues series, although I think it was aimed at slightly younger kids, is filled with action.
#11 New Releases – A Book That Just Came Out or Will Be Coming Out Soon That You Can’t Wait to Read
The Trials of Apollo book 4, The Tyrant’s Tomb, is coming out on September 24, and I’m really excited because I’m a huge fan of all of Rick Riordan’s books. (now that I think of it, all of his books are filled with action, so I should have probably put it up there)
Well, there it is. I think I’m supposed to tag other bloggers, but I don’t really know any other blogs than the ones that have already done it, so that’s all for today!
I am Princess X is about two girls, Libby and May, who when they are in fifth grade create a cartoon princess named Princess X. Libby and May are best friends, and write and illustrate books about Princess X. They are very close, and May is devastated when Libby’s mom fall asleep while driving, and their car tumbles off the bridge and into the river, killing both passengers. She refuses to believe that Libby is dead, but as the years go by, she is forced to accept the reality of the tragidy.
Three years after the accident, May is with her father and sees a sticker on a lamppost with a princess that looks just like the one she and Libby created. May, after seeing this is given hope that Libby is alive, and when she does some research, she sees that there might have been more to the story.
I am Princess X is a very powerful book, and I definitely recommend it. I read it all the way through without stopping, and it is one of the best books I’ve read in the last couple months.
