WWW Wednesday | (22/12/2021)

Hello, my fellow Spirals!

WWW Wednesday is a meme hosted by Taking on a World of Words. The three Ws are:

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

Home (Marilynne Robinson)

A story about a father, daughter and a son who has returned home after a really long time. I am guessing it involves the son reconnecting with his family during his stay.

I bought this book from a second hand bookshop on a total whim. All I knew back then was that the overall Goodreads rating for this book is 4+ which was good enough for me.

So far, I am not a huge fan of this book. It is very hard for me to stick to and connect with. While the vocabulary is rich, it also means that it takes a lot of effort to stay focused and understand, neither of which I can do presently. Hopefully it picks up soon.

The House in the Cerulean Sean (TJ Klune)

Oh my, what a truly wholesome book. I totally got what I was looking for when I picked this up. In my opinion this book was targeted towards a younger demographic but it ended up appealing to all age groups. Must pick for everyone.

The plot revolves around Linus, a caseworker, who investigates and reports back on the working of an orphanage for all magical being kids.

The Passengers (John Marrs)

Another solid read. I found this book via BooksUnbound podcast and the comparison with Black Mirror immediately piqued my interest. It was a ride (haha notice the pun please) for sure. Really enjoyed it.

Plot: Eight people get into separate driverless cars only to be told that they’re destination has be re-programmed and will die within the next two and a half hours.

The Only Good Indians (Stephen Graham Jones)

My hold on Libby has finally come through after a long time and I am in some mood for Horror/Thriller so this ticks all those boxes.

I am unaware of the plot so check it out here.
