WWW Wednesday- 11/19/25

 

Here is my WWW Wednesday meme for this week. WWW Wednesday was formally hosted by MizB at A Daily Rhythm and has been revived by Taking on a World of Words. The meme has you answering three questions: What are you currently reading, What did you recently finish reading, and What do you think you'll read next?

Have a great rest of your week!  

🔖 What are you currently reading?

- Days Like These by Brian Bilston: A poetry collection with a poem for every day of the year. Brian Bilston writes such humorous poetry and I am highly enjoying reading this book. The poem for today is "Bear Wrestling." 

 

- A Year with Aslan by C. S. Lewis: A collection of quotes from The Chronicles of Narnia with guided questions about each. I'm enjoying going through the quotes. Definitely, a great year to read these since The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe turned 75 years old this year. The quote for today is from The Horse and His Boy which is the only book in The Chronicles of Narnia series that I do not like. 

 

🔖 What did you recently finish reading?

- The Nanny's Handbook to Magic and Managing Difficult Dukes by Amy Rose Bennett: Such a wonderful novel. It is a cozy historical fantasy novel with found family, a sweet romance, humor, mystery, and the charm of Victorian England. Here is my full review for the book: My review. I reviewed it on Goodreads and NetGalley and will also be reviewing it in my monthly reads post for November on this blog. 

 

🔖 What do you think you’ll read next?

-  The Pinhoe Egg (Chrestomanci #6) by Diana Wynne Jones: I want to finish the Chrestomanci series this year and plan on reading this book next. Looking forward to seeing how the series ends. After this, I only have the short story collection. 

Trying to keep the faith... a year goes by💕

It has been a year since my father passed away. A year since I last heard him laugh. Saw his face light up with smile. Got to hold his hand in mine. I miss hearing him tell us about a show he watched on the History Channel. The way he was so fascinated and interested in learning everything he could about the world around him. I cannot tell you how many times I thought in the last year, "Oh, I wish I could tell Dad that."

So many memories I cherish. I miss the long conversations we would have on the way to school. How he always listened to me go on about whatever book I was reading. 😊 That man could not stand musicals but he let me watch any one I wanted to. Many times on repeat and he was right there commenting on them as I sang along. Thanks Dad!

There are so many moments where a single memory of him will give me a chuckle. But then others which bring me to tears. Some days are very hard. Grieving is a large mix of so many emotions which can affect you at any moment. Nothing prepares you for the feeling of losing someone so close to your heart. I miss him every day.

I'm beyond thankful for the time I was able to spend with him, but I cannot help wishing for more. We're always going to wish for even a couple more minutes with the ones we love who pass on. I'll always appreciate the memories we were able to share.

I'm thankful for my father and will continue trying to make him proud.

                Love you to the moon, Daddy. I'm trying to keep the faith.
