It seems like every audiobook I’ve placed on hold at the library became available in the last week–thankfully, I’ve been able to (mostly) stay on top of them.

This meme was formerly hosted by MizB at A Daily Rhythm and revived on Taking on a World of Words—and shown to me by Aurore-Anne-Chehoke at Diary-of-a-black-city-girl.

The Three Ws are:
What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading?
What do you think you’ll read next?

Seems easy enough, right? Let’s take a peek at this week’s answers:

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading Woman in White by Wilkie Collins, and am listening to Lost Talismans and a Tequila by Annette Marie, read by Teddy Hamilton, Cris Dukehart on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Shami Stovall’s Time-Marked Warlock. a dynamite soon-to-be-released Urban Fantasy. Yesterday, I finished the audio short story Dietrich by Don Winslow, read by Ed Harris (a dynamic duo as usual) and the audiobook The Secret Lives of Booksellers and Librarians: True Stories of the Magic of Reading by James Patterson and Matt Eversmann, read by Tom Force, Nancy Peterson, Jenn Lee, Jennifer Pickens, Amy Jensen, Deanna Anthony, Jane Oppenheimer, Susan Hanfield, Marni Penning, Daniel Henning, and Rob Reider (and possibly 20 other people, at a certain point, you lose track).

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be the promising looking Red Queen by Juan Gómez-Jurado and my next audiobook should be a book I’ve been eager to listen to for some time now, Making It So by Patrick Stewart.

Hi there, welcome to this week’s WWW Wednesday, the time where I take a moment out from doing…whatever it is that I’m doing here to talk about what I’m reading and listening to lately. I hope you’re having an okay week. Before we dive in, please indulge me for just a moment, will you? I want to try something real quick-like:

That wasn’t too bad, was it?? Eh, let’s get back to the classic way of doing this:

I’m reading A Midnight Puzzle by Gigi Pandian . I will have probably read it for 20 minutes by the time this posts, so…I don’t have a lot to say about it yet (really looking forward to diving in, though!). I’m listening to The Best Way to Bury Your Husband by Alexia Casale, read by Ambreen Razia, Ayesha Antoine, Bea Holland and Imogen Church on audiobook. It’s described as a dark comedy–I’ve yet to get to the comedy, but man, oh, man does it have the dark covered.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Andrew Miller’s Namaste Mart Confidential, you’ve read few PI novels like this one. I also finished Veronica Ruiz Breaks the Bank by Elle Cosimano, read by Stacy Gonzalez on audio, because it became it available this weekend and I was already in a Finlay Donovan frame of mind, so I bumped it up the list before diving into my current audiobook.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be for Samurai! by Saburo Sakai with Martin Caidin and Fred Saito. My next audiobook should be You’d Look Better as a Ghost by Joanna Wallace, read by Fiona Hardingham.

So…this is has been a week. (as you might have noticed from the lack of new material from me) I’ve managed to make some good progress on my current read, but that’s about it. I’m not sure I have high hopes for the rest of the week when it comes to the blog, but you never know. I might surprise myself.

I’m reading the beyond-gripping Smoke Kings by Jahmal Mayfield (with big thank you to Raven Crime Reads, otherwise I might have let this one slip by), and am listening to Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice by Elle Cosimano, read by Angela Dawe on audiobook–sillier, funnier, and more madcap than the previous books.

We’ve all seen the Strange Planet comic strip about reading, right? Well, that’s where I am at the moment, thanks Seanan McGuire. I’d say more, but then I wouldn’t shut up for 600 words or so.

I just finished Carrie Vaughn’s Bannerless—an intense read—and Supercommunicators: How to Unlock the Secret Language of Connection by Charles Duhigg on audio. It wasn’t Duhigg’s most interesting book, but probably the easiest to apply.

My next book should be Cooked Goose by Laura Jenski, if only because it seems light, and boy howdy, do I need that. My next audiobook should be Skulduggery Pleasant: The Faceless Ones Trilogy by Derek Landy, read by Rupert Degas—I started the series ages ago (both in print and then in audio)—it’s going to stick this time. Probably.

I’m reading still A Blight of Blackwings by Kevin Hearne, as with the first in the trilogy, as much as I’m enjoying the book, I need to take a break from it every now and then. but hopefully I finish it before next week’s post. I’m also listening to a very odd take on Peter Pan, Darling by K. Ancrum, read by Angel Pean, on audiobook.

Eh, numbers were never my thing, anyway. Let’s talk about words.

Craven, read by John Banks, the only novel in the series I didn’t write about yet. Hopefully, I can fix that with revisiting it.

Yay, the month is almost over and I can get back to not having to overthink what I type in the Post Title!

So, speaking of February, I’ve mentioned before, but I need to say something one more time. I’m taking part in the fundraiser, I’m Reading Every Day for American Cancer Society this month, and I’d greatly appreciate your support.

I’m reading the ARC of Rift in the Soul by Faith Hunter, which I’m really enjoying and seemingly not making much progress in. I’m listening to The Body’s Keepers: A Social History of Kidney Failure and Its Treatments by Paul L. Kimmel, MD, read by Lane Hakel on audiobook. It’s both fascinating and a solid reminder that I was right to avoid any career related to medicine.

I just finished Bradley Sides’s Crocodile Tears Didn’t Cause the Flood, a very strange book* that I meant to post about today. I also just listened to the mercifully brief An Elderly Lady Is Up to No Good by Helene Tursten, translated by Marlaine Delargy, read by Suzanne Toren on audio.

My next book should be for Strong Like You by T. L. Simpson and I have no idea what my next audiobook might be. I haven’t even thought of it, really—there’s a decent chance that I’ll still be listening to The Body’s Keepers when I assemble next week’s WWW, so I’ve got time to decide.

This has turned into one of those weeks…I’ve read for 60 minutes (combined) the last two days—and I don’t expect today is going to be much better. Those 30 minutes a day is enough to keep me sane…just. (they’re also a good reminder that my mind does require some time for reading). They’re enough to help me keep going with my, I’m Reading Every Day for American Cancer Society, too—a nice bonus. Shall we take a quick look at the books I’m spending a little time with?
