WWW Wednesday: June 18, 2025
Happy every-other-Wednesday! 🥲 I guess I’m in the habit of doing these every other week now, but that’s fine. I was feeling pretty slumpy for the first half of this month! I’m finally getting back into a reading mood, though! We have a busy weekend ahead of us, so I’m not sure how much I’ll read over the next few days. Friday, we’re going on an overnight trip to take the kiddo to see his favorite band in concert! Then, his birthday is Sunday and we’re having a pool party with his best friends here at the house. I’m really excited! I’ve been trying to do a ton of cleaning and prepping this week to get things together. We put up our pool (it’s just one of those 3ft deep above ground ones), leveled a big chunk of the yard and built a little sitting area, and I’ve been getting into gardening a little bit—I planted a couple of herbs and have started helping my mom with her veggies. I decided this was the year I was going to quit spending so much of every summer indoors, and I meant it! 😂 (Of course, summer isn’t technically here yet, but ykwim)
1. What did you read last?
- Nine Month Contract ❌ DNF ❌
- Witchcraft for Wayward Girls ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
- Mockingjay ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (reread)
- Wild Peak ⭐⭐⭐⭐
- Iron Giant ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Sadly, Nine Month Contract‘s writing style was NOT for me. Thankfully, I enjoyed everything else I read over the past two weeks! I think Witchcraft for Wayward Girls miiiight be my new favorite Grady Hendrix book. I reread Mockingjay, which wrecked me all over again, and I devoured two very outdoorsy Cassie Mint novellas!
2. What are you currently reading?
- The Buffalo Hunter Hunter
- Gothikana
- Slaying with Sylphs
- Death Row
- Bat Eater and Other Names for Cora Zeng
- Her Soul to Take (reread)
- The Ashes & the Star-Cursed King (reread)
- I Found a Circus Tent in the Woods Behind My House
I have quite a few overdue buddy reads I need to finish, but I’ve been sucked into rereading lately and I’m not mad about it. Thankfully, my besties are always very understanding when I get sidetracked! 😂 I started a mood reread of Her Soul to Take and Misty and I started a buddy reread of The Ashes & the Star-Cursed King so we can pick up the newest installment in the Nyaxia series next!
3. What will you read next?
I need to read my library books before they’re due back! (Yes, these are the same 2 library books that were in my last WWW post’s “read next” section, but now they’re actually almost due back lol OOPS! Definitely hoping to make these my vacation reads while we’re in the car!)

June 19, 2025Enjoy the birthday party! That reminds me of the time we bought an above ground pool for our kids, and it was a lot of fun😁 Witchcraft For Wayward Girls was really good, I agree.
