On Pillowfort, folks in the Bookworms community do WWW Wednesday every week. The Ws stand for three questions:

What are you currently reading?

What have you recently finished reading?

What will you be reading next?

Share your own WWW Wednesday, see what others have to say, and have some fun!

(It's also a great way to find new friends with similar reading taste to yours!)

Right, it cannot just be me who goes into slumps during the summer. 😅

Summer in general is the worst time of the year for me. I hate the vibes and I most definitely hate the heat. And this season makes reading unenjoyable for me 🤣

For me, the perfect reading session has to be when it is dark outside despite it only being 6pm and you have to wrap yourself in heavy blankets for warmth. I love reading when I’m laying in bed with my blankets and pillows, with a pumpkin spice candle beside my bed. 🎃 And for this, autumn and winter are for sure my favourite reading seasons. I also prefer the vibes a whole lot more. And for me, I need to be content with my environment to be able to enjoy reading. If I’m sweaty and overheating, I will most definitely not enjoy my book as I will be too focused on the feeling of my skin heating up 😫

I’m curious to see if anyone else goes into reading slumps during certain seasons!

I feel like these books scratch a particular spot in my brain. I want to find more to compare how they’re portrayed in books vs their actual selves. I feel like they’re probably a list somewhere…but recs please?

-I read the first book of the Shadow Histories duology by H.G. Parry and loved it. It’s such a wide scope, and the narrator for the audiobook has a great voice. I wished the Haitian revolution was a more central plot point, but alas. -“But One Life” by Samantha Wilsoncox was certainly interesting. The author certainly loves foreshadowing. (There’s a scene where a preacher talks about the story of Esther. Making parallels to the story of Hale to her…? Also that it was basically divine duty for him to serve his country). Relatively accurate.
-For the Pride read along, I loved Harriet Tubman: Live in Concert. The conversations in that book were amazing. -There is currently “Hope Never Dies” by Andrew Shaffer sitting on my shelf. I guess Obama and Biden count as historical figures? Famous figures? I guess they count too.

I also found a couple of others. Like this one author writing about Nathaniel Greene (and an upcoming one about Joseph Warren). Also Dwight D Eisenhower?

(I dont know why it’s so US centric today…maybe some less us centric ones?)

Hello! What it says in the title, my mom, dad, and I are trying to find a book to listen to that would fit well into a twelve hour roadtrip. It’s six hours each way, but I suppose on the shorter end for an audiobook would be nice just because we’d be driving late and would need breaks.

Genre doesn’t matter, just length! I would also say maybe something more lighthearted or engaging so we don’t fall asleep behind the wheel, haha. Thank you! 🫶

Without doxing yourself plzzz

Some of you are reading so much with full time jobs😭 I gotta know what y’all do and how many hours you’re doing it. I know a few people are lucky enough to get to read on the job! That’s the dream.
