This week I’m joining in with the three Ws Wednesday book meme currently hosted by 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?
The Emissary by Marcia Meara I love Marcia’s Riverbend series, so this spin-off is intriguing
Was Gabe Angelino, the mysterious truck driver in Finding Hunter: Riverbend Book 2, really an angel, as Willow Green believes? Or was he simply a good man, determined to help a stranger in need? Find out, as author Marcia Meara reveals the truth in the first Riverbend spinoff novella, The Emissary.
An angel’s work is never done—that’s part of the gig. But angels hadn’t been created to deal with such a vastly over-populated planet, rife with misery, suffering, and general chaos. Helping souls in peril has become a nearly impossible job, and even angelic tempers are frayed.
The archangel Azrael has had enough. He believes he’s found a way to ease their burden while saving jeopardized humans, too—hired help.
Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman – I’m actually still reading this one,
The Owens sisters confront the challenges of life and love in this bewitching novel from New York Times bestselling author Alice Hoffman.
For more than two hundred years, the Owens women have been blamed for everything that has gone wrong in their Massachusetts town. Gillian and Sally have endured that fate as well: as children, the sisters were forever outsiders, taunted, talked about, pointed at. Their elderly aunts almost seemed to encourage the whispers of witchery, with their musty house and their exotic concoctions and their crowd of black cats. But all Gillian and Sally wanted was to escape.
One will do so by marrying, the other by running away. But the bonds they share will bring them back—almost as if by magic… AmazonUk | AmazonUS
The Obsession by Nora Roberts – I’m a big Nora Roberts fan and enjoy books in several of the genres she writes in.
Naomi Carson is a survivor. As a child, her family was torn apart by a shocking crime. It could have destroyed her, but Naomi has grown up strong, with a passion for photography that has taken her all around the world.
Now, at last, she has decided to put down roots. The beautiful old house on Point Bluff needs work, but Naomi has new friends in town who are willing to help, including Xander Keaton – gorgeous, infuriating and determined to win her heart.
But as Naomi plans for the future, her past is catching up with her. Someone in town knows her terrifying secret – and won’t let her forget it. As her new home is rocked by violence, Naomi must discover her persecutor’s identity, before it’s too late. AmazonUk | AmazonUS

I have Practical Magic on my list as well. I’ll see what you think of it and perhaps it will climb up. I hope to join this feature when I get organised. It’s a great idea. Thanks, Rosie.

How exciting to find out you are reading my first Emissary novella, Rosie! I hope you enjoy it. It was a lot of fun to do something a bit different, and I’m thrilled to be included in this trio of books today! Thanks!
I haven’t read this Nora Roberts book, but am putting it on my TBR stack. And wasn’t Practical Magic made into a movie a few years (decades?) back? I seem to remember that, but these days, I could be making it up! 😀

Thanks Marcia, I’m way behind on the Practical Magic scene. I picked it up after hype for the new book. I liked the sound of the series, but thought I should start with book #1. As the the movie, I expect you’re right, I’m not a huge movie buff, so will have missed it there too.
