WWW Wednesday – June 24th, 2026

WWW Wednesday is hosted by Sam at Taking On a World of Words . All you have to do is answer the following questions each week:

  • What are you currently reading?

  • What are you going to read next?

•Currently Reading•

Spies, Lies, & Alibis by Natalie Walters and published by Thomas Nelson, is a rom-com, spy romance involving two individuals who knew each other as children. They become reacquainted and find themselves on opposing sides of seedy business dealings. The hilarity and outrageous situations that ensue are laugh out loud. The audiobook version is quite fantastic as both actors do tremendous jobs with plenty of emotion and entertainment. I am currently about 70% of the way through this.

The Inklings Detective Agency by John R. Kelly and published by Penguin Random House Christian Publishing/Waterbrook is a historical fiction showcasing some of the most well known authors back in the day. The likes of C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, Arthur Conan Doyle and others join forces to solve a murder. I do enjoy the premise of this book and am currently about 10% of the way through this one.

I am hoping to get through both of these within the next few days.

•Just Finished Reading•

Both of these books ended up being 5-star reads for me which I am not sure if that has happened before so this was a great reading/listening week for sure!

Both of my reviews:

Keeper of Enchanted Rooms by Charlie N. Holmberg

Where We Belong by Kim Vogel Sawyer

Both of these are two more NetGalley acceptances for me. Both of them came in the same day with was a lovely surprise.

The Secret Bookshop in Ireland by Susanne O’ Leary and published by Bookouture is set to release on July 31st of 2026. This is described as an uplifting and gripping Irish romance. I have not read one of Susanne’s books before so I am excited to become acquainted with her writing.

Falling Into Us by Denise Hunter and published by Thomas Nelson Fiction is set to release on October 13, 2026. This is a typical romance/fiction story that Denise is known for. I have read one of her books before and have several others on my TBR so I am excited to give this one a try.

About Me

Hello! I am Ashley and I simply love to read, and hope you do to!
I am currently 28 years old and living in the state of Texas, USA.

My favorite genres to read and review include romance, fantasy, mystery, and many subgenres of those as long as it is clean. I mainly get my books from my Kindle Unlimited membership, but I also found myself checking out library books on Libby as well.

As you can see, I do not solely post book reviews, I also love posting daily prompt writing, as well as stuff that is going on in my life currently. That being said, my passion is reading and reviewing books to my heart’s content, so hopefully that is something you are also interested in.

I do have a Goodreads where you can follow if you desire (no pressure!) I also have a StoryGraph, of which you can follow me here.
