WWW Wednesday (May 9, 2019) #33

Welcome to WWW Wednesday! This meme is hosted by Sam @ Taking on a World of Words.

It has been a couple of months since I posted a WWW, so here goes. I will only post three books in each of the Ws.

The Three Ws are:

What are you currently reading?

Audiobook                      Physical Book                     Kindle Book

What did you recently finish reading?

If you click on the cover it will take you to my review, except for Dead as a Doornail as I haven’t written it yet.

Audiobook                      Physical Book                     Kindle Book

What do you think you’ll read/listen to next?

I have a few books that I need to read and review for a Blog Tour, so I will be concentrating on them as well as listening to some audiobooks that are available on Kindle Unlimited and Overdrive.

This is the first book in a series that has been recommended to me by several bloggers. I was able to get the audiobook on hoopla.

With her inquisitive mind, Charlotte Holmes has never felt comfortable with the demureness expected of the fairer sex in upper class society.  But even she never thought that she would become a social pariah, an outcast fending for herself on the mean streets of London.

When the city is struck by a trio of unexpected deaths and suspicion falls on her sister and her father, Charlotte is desperate to find the true culprits and clear the family name. She’ll have help from friends new and old—a kind-hearted widow, a police inspector, and a man who has long loved her. But in the end, it will be up to Charlotte, under the assumed name Sherlock Holmes, to challenge society’s expectations and match wits against an unseen mastermind.

This is a book that I really wanted to read based on the blurb. I was approved by Netgalley, then when I saw the blog tour opportunity, I jumped on the tour. Who wouldn’t want to read a book set in a bookstore.

Love, friendship, and family find a home at the Printed Letter Bookshop

One of Madeline Cullen’s happiest childhood memories is of working with her Aunt Maddie in the quaint and cozy Printed Letter Bookshop. But by the time Madeline inherits the shop nearly twenty years later, family troubles and her own bitter losses have hardened Madeline’s heart toward her once-treasured aunt—and the now struggling bookshop left in her care.

While Madeline intends to sell the shop as quickly as possible, the Printed Letter’s two employees have other ideas. Reeling from a recent divorce, Janet finds sanctuary within the books and within the decadent window displays she creates. Claire, though quieter than the acerbic Janet, feels equally drawn to the daily rhythms of the shop and its loyal clientele, finding a renewed purpose within its walls. When Madeline’s professional life takes an unexpected turn, and when a handsome gardener upends all her preconceived notions, she questions her plans and her heart. She begins to envision a new path for herself and for her aunt’s beloved shop—provided the women’s best combined efforts are not too little, too late.

The Printed Letter Bookshop is a captivating story of good books, a testament to the beauty of new beginnings, and a sweet reminder of the power of friendship.

This is another book that I will be participating in a blog tour to introduce you all to. I fell in love with the cover, because the blurb is a bit short and sweet and really does not tell the reader what the book is about. I shall see what I think shortly.

She is tolerable, I suppose, but there is rather too much of her to tempt me.”

Overhearing Mr. Darcy’s rude dismissal of her shocks and mortifies Elizabeth Bennet to the core. She is living her worst fear, and it galvanizes her into action.

Soon, the gentleman cannot keep his eyes from her, but can she forgive his thoughtless judgment of her appearance and character? Especially since he faces a worthy competitor for her attention? Who will win the lady’s hand, along with the right to love her through thick or thin?

So, there you have it, WWW on Thursday.

Have you read any of the above books. Let me know what you thought about them. What are you going to read next?
