WWW Wednesday is a meme that is hosted by Taking on a World of Words. It's a very simple premise of sharing with others The Three Ws:

What am I currently reading?
Just today I started The Tea Ladies by Amanda Hampson:
"They keep everyone's secrets, until there's a murder...
Sydney, 1965 — After a chance encounter with a stranger, tea ladies Hazel, Betty and Irene become accidental sleuths, stumbling into a world of ruthless crooks and racketeers in search of a young woman believed to be in danger.
In the meantime, Hazel's job at Empire Fashionwear is in jeopardy. The firm has turned out the same frocks and blouses for the past twenty years, and when the mini-skirt bursts onto the scene, it rocks the rag trade to its foundations. War breaks out between departments and it falls to Hazel, the quiet diplomat, to broker peace and save the firm.
When there is a murder in the building, the tea ladies draw on their wider network and put themselves in danger as they piece together clues that connect the murder to a nearby arson and a kidnapping. But if there's one thing tea ladies can handle, it's hot water."
I'm 3 chapters in, but so far so good.
My insomnia read is Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. My insomnia read is what I read to get through my long sleepless nights.

What did you recently finish reading?
Most recently I finished reading Green Dot by Madeleine Gray. I suppose you would call this contemporary romance fiction, which isn't my usual choice, but I am seeing the author speak at the Sydney Writers Festival and so I wanted to read her book. I am so glad that I did. I really enjoyed it. The setting is around my hood so I could literally picture the places being spoken about and the protagonist has a very strong voice.
What do you think you'll read next?
I have preordered the next book in the Ill-Mannered Ladies series, and Hannah Kent's memoir and they are both being released on 30 April. I think I will read one of them - I want to prioritise the Hannah Kent memoir because, again, I am seeing her speak at the Sydney Writers' Festival soon, but I did love the Ill-Mannered Ladies a lot. Time will show which I read for.
What about you?
