Happy Wednesday everybody! I have gotten a little bit of reading done, mostly for upcoming blog tours I am participating in, so you’ll see those reviews in the next few weeks. But besides that, everything is pretty calm right now. We bought a new couch and giving our old couch to my parents-in-law. I started packing and I get to go through all my shelves and create piles to keep, sell, and donate, which is gonna be so much fun. I’m really not looking forward to it.

WWW Wednesday’s is hosted by Sam @ Taking on a World of Words, and all it involves is answering three simple questions:

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

After starting These Feathered Flames, I think I’m really going to love this book. I haven’t gotten too far into When We Were Infinite because it’s kind of on the backburner, but I hope to get at least halfway by tonight. And once I can finish these two books I can start my next two! My friends have been begging me to read From Blood and Ash for months and I’m so happy I finally have time to sit down and read it. I’m nervous but excited because I’ve heard so many great things about this series and I really hope I love it.
