Today I’m participating in WWW Wednesdays, at Taking on a World of Words. Here’s how it works:
The Three Ws are:
What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading?
What do you think you’ll read next, and/or what are you eagerly awaiting?

CURRENTLY READING:
The Sea of Lost Girls, by Carol Goodman
In the tradition of Daphne du Maurier, Shari Lapena, and Michelle Richmond comes a new thriller from the bestselling author of The Lake of Dead Languages—a twisty, harrowing story set at a prestigious prep school in which one woman’s carefully hidden past might destroy her future.

EAGERLY ANTICIPATING: Sister Dear, by Hannah Mary McKinnon
I ordered this book from Amazon recently, and it is headed my way. I was drawn to the cover and the description.
Synopsis: Beauty. Wealth. Success.
She’s got it all.
And it all should’ve been mine.
When Eleanor Hardwicke’s beloved father dies, her world is further shattered by a gut-wrenching secret: the man she’s grieving isn’t really her dad. Eleanor was the product of an affair and her biological father is still out there, living blissfully with the family he chose. With her personal life spiraling, a desperate Eleanor seeks him out, leading her to uncover another branch on her family tree—an infuriatingly enviable half sister.
Perfectly perfect Victoria has everything Eleanor could ever dream of. Loving childhood, luxury home, devoted husband. All of it stolen from Eleanor, who plans to take it back. After all, good sisters are supposed to share. And quiet little Eleanor has been waiting far too long for her turn to play.

I read one of Megan Miranda’s other books, All the Missing Girls, and it was interesting because the story was actually told backwards. I always wondered if her other books had unique aspects to their storytelling. Happy reading!

There were some Gothic overtones, but I wouldn’t make that comparison…The book kept me engaged, though.

I was delighted with The Sweeney Sisters, and enjoyed Sea of Lost Girls, too. I read all these books in a two-week period…and I used to read this many in a week, lol. But slow and steady works, too, right? Enjoy your books and your weekend, Katherine.
