WWW Wednesday | 04/02/2025


WWW Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Taking On a World of Words that highlights three questions:

What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading?
What do you think you'll read next?

What did you recently finish reading?




I finished Pick the Lock by A.S. King last night and I'm not totally sure I liked it all that much. I settled on a 2.5 rating cause I initially liked the whole metaphor for domestic abuse that the author was going for but the more I read the more it was just too confusing. The random opera snippets didn't do anything for me and then there was the whole rat thing?? Dunno but I would like to still try more stuff from this author.

What are you currently reading?



I'm just about to start Rouge by Mona Awad as I'm writing this so I don't have anything to report. I grabbed this at the library cause I've wanted to try this author for a while.

What do you think you'll read next?



I want to finally finish The Hunger Games trilogy this month so Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins is next on my list. 

Katniss Everdeen, girl on fire, has survived, even though her home has been destroyed. Gale has escaped. Katniss's family is safe. Peeta has been captured by the Capitol. District 13 really does exist. There are rebels. There are new leaders. A revolution is unfolding.

It is by design that Katniss was rescued from the arena in the cruel and haunting Quarter Quell, and it is by design that she has long been part of the revolution without knowing it. District 13 has come out of the shadows and is plotting to overthrow the Capitol. Everyone, it seems, has had a hand in the carefully laid plans—except Katniss.

The success of the rebellion hinges on Katniss's willingness to be a pawn, to accept responsibility for countless lives, and to change the course of the future of Panem. To do this, she must put aside her feelings of anger and distrust. She must become the rebels' Mockingjay—no matter what the personal cost.


Have you read any of these? What were your thoughts? What are you currently reading and hoping to pick up next? Leave a comment or link your own WWW Wednesdays below for me to check out!

Top Ten Tuesday | 2024 Releases I Was Excited to Read but Still Haven’t Gotten To


Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature that highlights ten books that all relate to a certain topic and is  hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. 

This Weeks Topic Is...


2024 Releases I Was Excited to Read but Still Haven’t Gotten To.
I tend to be fairly late to the game with new releases anyway, I seem to always prioritise backlist titles over newer ones but since having access to loads of library books through Libby since last year, I've actually managed to get to loads of titles I was excited about in 2024. The majority of this list is special editions I got through subscription boxes plus some pre-orders that I just haven't found the time to get to.

January 2025 Reading Wrap Up


January was a pretty successful month, all things considered. I had two weeks off work to get some reading done and I'm glad to say that I enjoyed pretty much everything I read this month! I also completed the January Pages challenge on Storygraph which means I read every day in January, hooray! Here's my thoughts on all 10 books I read.

On My Radar | February 2025


Definitely could've added so much more to this list but it would've taken forever to read through them all. Isola, Deep Cuts, This is a Love Story, Victorian Psycho & The Otherwhere Post are high priority for the TBR!

December 2024 Reading Wrap Up


Haven't done a monthly wrap up in over 2 years but new year, new blogging motivation! After a really slumpy few months, December was a pleasant surprise and I managed to read 13 books, a mixture of novels and short stories.

Heads up, these reviews are going to be a bit all over the place cause I read most of them over a month ago and my memory is not the best when it comes to remembering plot details 😂.

Top Ten Books of 2024!


My Top Ten Favourite Reads of 2024! I had a bit of a mixed year of reading but I also had about eight 5 star reads which for me is amazing as I usually only give out around 4 or 5. I'm hoping 2025 will be just as good to me. These are in no particular order except for the last one which has claimed the top spot in my bracket game!
