WWW Wednesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by Taking on a World of Words. To participate answer these questions: What are you currently reading? What did you recently finish reading? What do you think you'll read next? I am currently reading Breakwater by Errin Stevens. I recently finished reading City of Heavenly Fire by Cassandra Clare. Next I am going to be reading The Extraordinary Journey of Vivienne Marshall by Shannon Kirk. Here are all of the books mentioned in this post: The sirens of Griffeins Bay are in trouble, and the recent slew of royal suicides looks to be the least of their worries. For one, unless a blood relative of the queen shows up, no one's around to staff the monarchy. Well, except for a whack-job bureaucrat and he seriously won't do. Worse is the community unrest threatening siren society, a problem caused by too many humans in the pool, which means Simon and his off-limit girlfriend will have to run and hide if they want to make more of their flirtation... The solution doesn't inspire confidence at first, but the Blakes have everything at hand to set their world to rights- namely, a hidden queen, a dead prince, and a facility for human manipulation. Once they find their sea legs, they'll restore orfer, distibute smart phones, and drive that conniving bureaucrat to a grisly, satisfying end. In this dazzling conclusion to the acclaimed Mortal Instrument series, Clary and her friends fight the greatest of evil they have ever faced: Clary's own brother. Sebastian Morgenstern is on the move, turning Shadowhunter against Shadowhunter. Bearing the Infernal Cup, he transforms Shadowhunters into creatures out of nightmare, tearing apart families and lovers as the ranks of his Endarkened army swell. When one of the greatest betrayals the Nephilim have ever known is revealed, Clary, Jace, Isabelle, Simon, and Alec must flee- even if their journey takes them deep into the demon realms, where no Shadowhunter has set foot before, and from which no human being has ever returned.... What if you could choose your heaven now? Go on a celestial shopping trip of sorts? Thirty-five-year-old Vivienne does just that, as she lies dying in the ICU; a fatal walk into the path of a truck. In her final week of life, Vivienne treks through the Heavens of a priest, a best friend, a homeless child, and a lover who never was. Vivienne’s guardian angel, Noah, who may just be her soul mate, escorts her through selections of Heavens and through the confusion Vivienne experiences as she flounders between a doubt of life and the certainty of death. Although her visits to varied afterlives provide peace and beauty, choosing proves not so easy: Vivienne’s love for her young son and her earthly father pull her from her colorful journey—and from her divine love of Noah.

These all look very tempting! I guess I'm most curious about Breakwater.

I still haven't read anything by Cassandra Clare even though I've been meaning to for ages! I must get round to it this year. I heard lots of good things about Lady Midnight.
