Hello everyone, this is my second WWW Wednesday, a weekly meme hosted by Sam @ Taking On A World of Words, which means I’ll be answering these questions:

1. What did you read last?


2. What are you currently reading?


3. What will you read next?

Just Finished Reading


My reading last week consisted of three manga. Ultimately, all three manga are okay to read. Also, I was disappointed with my reading of Scythe by Neal Shusterman. The book had an intriguing premise but fell short in its execution. The pacing felt uneven, and the characters lacked depth, making it difficult to connect with them. Additionally, the plot twists were predictable, which detracted from the overall suspense and excitement.

The rating I gave to the finished book.

• Dragon and Chameleon 01 by Ryo Ishiyama 3 out 5


• Ouran High School Host Club, Vol. 1 by Bisco Hatori 3 out 5


• Always a Catch! 01: How I Punched My Way into Marrying a Prince by Mayo Momoyo, Itsuki Mito, Kaki Nagato (Art) 3 out 5
  


• Scythe by Neal Shusterman 2 out 5

GENRE: Romance novel, New adult fiction, Contemporary romance, Psychological Fiction, Domestic Fiction

AGE RANGE: Adult

RATING: 1 out 5

SYNOPSIS: Not every mistake deserves a consequence. Sometimes the only thing it deserves is forgiveness.

The Voss family is anything but normal. They live in a repurposed church, newly baptized Dollar Voss. The once cancer-stricken mother lives in the basement, the father is married to the mother’s former nurse, the little half-brother isn’t allowed to do or eat anything fun, and the eldest siblings are irritatingly perfect. Then, there’s Merit.

Merit Voss collects trophies she hasn’t earned and secrets her family forces her to keep. While browsing the local antiques shop for her next trophy, she finds Sagan. His wit and unapologetic idealism disarm and spark renewed life into her—until she discovers that he’s completely unavailable. Merit retreats deeper into herself, watching her family from the sidelines when she learns a secret that no trophy in the world can fix.

Fed up with the lies, Merit decides to shatter the happy family illusion that she’s never been a part of before leaving them behind for good. When her escape plan fails, Merit is forced to deal with the staggering consequences of telling the truth and losing the one boy she loves.
