Hello, sweet peas!
Will I continue with those ridiculous alliterations in my WWW posts? Why yes. Yes, I will. 😂
Okay, we all know I will be out of ideas until the end of the month.
Anyway, it’s time for Sam’s WWW Wednesday again. I didn’t have any time last week but I also hadn’t read that much so that post would just have been a repetition from the week before.
The Three Ws are:
What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading?
What do you think you’ll read next?
Currently reading:
I’m currently reading Percy Jackson’s Greek Gods by Rick Riordan. I found it at the library. Of course I was aware of the book but I never felt like reading much about the Greek Gods specifically since that was what my thesis in school was about and I pretty much thought I know everything about them. Well, the stories I’m reading now are not new but I still love Rick Riordan’s writing. It might also give me the boost I need to finish the books by him that are still unread.
Recently finished:
One of them was a graphic novel called Be Prepared by Vera Brosgol. It made me think of a summer camp I went to when I was nine. It was not Russian and it had not anything to do with camping but I was just the same age as the protagonist back then and it was also similarly segregated by age and gender… and I hated it too. I don’t have many fond memories of it. Although now that I think of it, my mom was very heavily pregrant with my sister at the time and maybe needed some downtime.
Ha, you see, a graphic novel that takes you down memory lane. And it’s full of feelings too.
The other book I recently finished was Woodwalkers by Katja Brandis. It was different from what I expected but still good. I liked the characters and the different classes the kids had to take. I might read the other books as well.
Next read:
It’s probably going to be this here – Too many curses by A. Lee Martinez since I got that from the library as well. I like Martinez’ books. They are hilariously funny and I’m sure this one will be no exception.
To be quite honest, I haven’t read a graphic novel ever but I am very inclined to read some this year. I think it’s a genre I would enjoy a lot, too!

I love Rick Riordan too! I have done so much research and so many papers on Greek Mythology – I love to read anything with mythology in it ❤️

Have you read the Greek Gods book? I mean, I know most of the tales but the way he narrates it is hilarious. 😀

I’ve read most of the Percy Jackson series but I don’t think I’ve read the Greek Gods book. I’ll have to pick it up 😊

Thank you. I also have some better summer camp memories but not from that year. 😅 Be prepared is really sweet but somehow also kinda sad. 🙂

That Woodwalkers cover is strangely mesmerizing! I am another one who hasn’t read a graphic novel in a while – I should! I usually enjoy them when I do 🙂

I know, they are very pretty. The rest in the series also look somewhat like them but with different characters and animals on them. 🙂 I hope you find a graphic novel that piques your interest. 🙂

I’ve actually somehow not read a Rick Riordan book? I need to do that this year, though! Woodwalkers has a really interesting cover! Almost reminds me of the old Animorphs covers. I want to read it, but I can’t seem to find it in English. What a shame. D: Happy reading!
Here’s my WWW post.

I first thought it was an American author too, but she’s German. Too bad that you cannot read them, they are quite fun.
And yes, there is Percy Jackson’s Greek Gods and one with Greek Heroes! They are insanely fun. It’s absolutely pulling me out of my slump. ❤
