WWW Wednesday: 2nd February 2022

WWW Wednesday is a meme hosted by Sam of Taking on a World of Words. It’s a fun midweek reading update that asks you to answer three questions:

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

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading Rainbow Milk at the moment! This one is about the life of a black, gay man who has been expelled from the Jehovah’s Witness community he grew up in because of his identity. He moves to London and becomes a sex worker to stay afloat. It’s fiction but it’s semi-autobiographical and it feels very real. I can’t say much more because that’s where I’m at, but it’s supposed to be about creating ‘new notions of love, fatherhood and spirituality’ and I’m really enjoying the writing style so far.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Digging Up Love. I was a bit disappointed by this read, I mean a romance with cakes and dinosaurs sounds exactly up my street. Unfortunately, there was a lot more unnecessary angst based on miscommunication which is the opposite of what I enjoy. No one is happy and no one is talking to anyone about it. I found it difficult to root for the main couple – I just wished it had less drama and more dinosaurs.

What do you think you”ll read next?

Next, I’m picking up my advanced copy of Stars and Bones! I honestly don’t know too much about this book other than it’s supposed to be a fun sci-fi with excellent worldbuilding and found family vibes. That’s my jam so I’m excited.
