WWW Wednesday: 23/4/25

,

Hello, happy Wednesday. I hope you’ve been reading some good books this week!

WWW Wednesday is a weekly recap meme hosted by Sam over at Taking on a World of Words, where we share what we’re reading and what’s up next on the tbr.

I am getting to the end of Pathfinding by Kerri Andrews, and it’s been a lovely and informative read. It’s primarily about motherhood, something I don’t know about, and I have found it interesting to learn about what some of my friends would have gone through when they had their babies.

I’m about 25% into The Prince Without Sorrow by Maithree Wijesekara. I’m enjoying it so far, and though it’s mostly been setting up the world is very interesting.

Yesterday I also started A Barrister for the Earth by Monica Feria-Tinta. This details 10 legal cases the author has overseen where the planet was the client. I’ve read the first case so far and it’s been horrifying and inspiring in equal measure.

I most recently finished Counterattacks at Thirty by Won-pyung Sohn, translated from Korean by Sean Lin Halbert. Overall, I liked it, but it didn’t impact me that much. The themes were great, but I didn’t really connect with the characters.

Her Majesty’s Royal Coven by Juno Dawson is definitely next up on my tbr. I’ve been meaning to read this for ages and it’s an r/Fantasy club pick in April. I will also start The Lost Folk by Lally Macbeth once I’ve finished my nonfiction books.

  1. Sorry to hear about Counterattacks at Thirty, hopefully your next books in line will be better! I think sometimes this might happen due to the translation, as many things get lost during it..

    1. I’ve definitely found this with one or two translated books where I know the translation missed the mark. This one though had a great translation, it was more the characters outlook and way of doing things that was a miss, and that I think is more a cultural barrier than anything else.

  2. Ah yes, when this happens, it is unfortunate. But still you did give it a go and are reading diverse literature as a bonus 🙂 hope you are enjoying your current/next read

Hi friends!
