Welcome to our March 2024 WWWednesday!
SURPRISE! We got a new banner for our WWWednesdays! đ Do you liiikke? I love it! It’s reminiscent of the old one and still feels classic in that way. The colors are almost the same and they match the muted sandy, brown tones of the blog. But the updated photo is clearer and uses the same font as our GraceBought and Book Review banners which creates a cleaner consistency. (Shoutout to Cassie for her help with this one!)
But anywho, enough gushing about the new banner! How’d your reading go this month? Man, it feels like it’s been longer than a month for me. But in spite of the crazy busy Easter season, I actually did get a few books read this month. Progress!
How about you? What have you read lately? Anything good? Are you looking for something new to read? Don’t forget to leave a comment and let me know what you’re reading this month, too!
What is WWW Wednesday?
WWW Wednesday was originally created by A Daily Rhythm and revived by Taking on a World of Words. To participate, simply answer the following questions every Wednesday:
- What are you currently reading?
- What did you recently finish reading?
- What do you think youâll read next?
Here on GraceBought, we’ve do these as a monthly reading review. The idea is for a quick, easy post that keeps you guys in the loop and me involved on a regular basis!
So, without further ado, here is WWWednesday!
WWWednesday #57
What are you currently reading?
I’m currently rereading Messenger by Lois Lowry, the third book in her Giver Quartet.
I adore this book. I really do. It’s been forever since I read it. Honestly, I’m not sure I’ve ever read it a second time, but I read this in early middle school and it has stuck with me ever since in a very vivid way. I’d forgotten just how good it is. I am tremendously enjoying this reread.
What did you recently finish reading?
The last book I finished (only just barely beat out by Gathering Blue, the second book in the Giver Quartet) was Jen Wilken’s Sermon on the Mount Bible study.
My women’s bible study group picked this out and it cannot have been a better choice. This is my second Jen Wilken study and I had such high hopes since I LOVED her other study. Thankfully, I was not disappointed!
What do you think you’ll read next?
Next, I’m planning to finish Iscariot by Tosca Lee in preparation for Easter.
So this may be a little bit of a cheat since I’ve already started this one (only just). This is my physical read currently, but I’m really hoping to finish by Easter. Admittedly, I’m not reading this one to “enjoy” it; in fact, I fully anticipate this will be a deeply challenging, difficult read. But I’ve heard it is good. So, I’m going into this one with an open mind.

Well, that’s a wrap for this WWWednesday! Let me know what you think below!
Have you read any of the books above? What books are you currently reading, looking forward to, and what have you recently finished reading? How do you make time for reading in busy seasons? I’d love to hear any tips you can share below!
Do you have any Easter recommendations for me (book or otherwise!)?
Until next time! Happy Easter, friends!
Recently finished: The Maid by Nita Prose. I really enjoyed this. It’s one of the few light, fun things I’ve read lately, a mystery featuring a lead character with autism.
Currently reading: I am just started The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt. I have a feeling it’s going to make me feel guilty, but I think the information is important, regardless. It’s about how young people’s brains have been entirely rewired from how they used to grow up, and been skewed towards anxiety from being online all the time.
Next up: Very long-term going to work by way through the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and also going to start another purely fun Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid.
Those purely fun reads are so necessary sometimes! I love a good mystery. And, man, the internet age has definitely messed with some brains! People are more depressed and more anxious than ever before. A blessing and a curse. Such interesting reads! Thanks for sharing!
