WWW Wednesday is a meme from Sam at Taking On A World Of Words
The Three Ws are:
What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading?
What do you think you’ll read next?
I’m currently reading #Murdertrending by Gretchen McNeil. Original, completely compelling story line, and a pretty quick read.
WELCOME TO THE NEAR FUTURE, where good and honest 8/18 citizens can enjoy watching the executions of society’s most infamous convicted felons, streaming live on The Postman app from the suburbanized prison island Alcatraz 2.0.
When eighteen-year-old Dee Guerrera wakes up in a haze, lying on the ground of a dimly lit warehouse, she realizes she’s about to be the next victim of the app. Knowing hardened criminals are getting a taste of their own medicine in this place is one thing, but Dee refuses to roll over and die for a heinous crime she didn’t commit. Can Dee and her newly formed posse, the Death Row Breakfast Club, prove she’s innocent before she ends up wrongfully murdered for the world to see? Or will The Postman’s cast of executioners kill them off one by one?
I just finished Scream Site by Justina Ireland. It’s classified as YA, but reads like MG, so I was a bit disappointed. The ending had a definite Scooby-Doo feel.
Sabrina Sebastian’s goal in life is to be an investigative reporter. For her first big story, she researches a popular website called Scream Site, where people post scary videos and compete for the most “screams.” While Sabrina’s friends and her sister, Faith, talk nonstop about the creepy viral videos, Sabrina just hopes that covering this trend will get her the internship she’s wishing for. But as she digs into the truth behind the website, she begins to suspect that these aren’t only aspiring actors and videographers at work. Some clips seem a little too real. And when Faith goes missing, Sabrina must race against time to save her sister from becoming the next video “star.”
Next, I’ll read Timekeeper by Tara Sim for one of my book clubs. The theme is LGBT books and this one has been in my TBR for a while, so it was a perfect time to move it to the top.
I was in an accident. I got out. I’m safe now.
An alternate Victorian world controlled by clock towers, where a damaged clock can fracture time—and a destroyed one can stop it completely.
A prodigy mechanic who can repair not only clockwork but time itself, determined to rescue his father from a Stopped town.
A series of mysterious bombings that could jeopardize all of England.
A boy who would give anything to relive his past, and one who would give anything to live at all.
A romance that will shake the very foundations of time.
All look good. (need more eyes)

I was intrigued by Scream Site the last time I saw it, but I’m not sure if it reads like MG. I’ll have to poke around on Amazon and take a “look inside.”

It took me by surprise, Mae – a few other reviewers mentioned it on Goodreads also. If you like MG, it’s a good read, but just not what I was expecting.

If I’d gone into it expecting a MG read, maybe I’d have felt differently. It did have some good things about it – the MC and her friend were both written well. Definitely enjoying #Murdertrending!

Parts of it I enjoyed, but wouldn’t recommend it for an older YA crowd. Definitely more on the younger side.
