Hey, it’s the middle of the week. Time for WWW Wednesday!
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?
Easy enough, right?
I’m reading King of the Crows by Russell Day (which is just so good, guys) and am listening to Cursor’s Fury by Jim Butcher, Kate Reading (Narrator).
I just finished Jon Richter’s Auxiliary: London 2039 and Stormbreaker by Anthony Horowitz, Nathaniel Parker (Narrator) on audio (I can’t hear “Nathaniel Parker” without thinking of Nero Wolfe’s attorneymy reflexive joy at hearing the name is kind of sad)
My next book should be Burning Bright by Nick Petrie (which, yeah, I said 2 weeks ago, but then I got hit with a couple of surpise ARCs) and some sort of unknown audiobook.
Hit me with your Three W’s in the comments! (no, really, do it!)

Just finished reading (finally) “Season of the Witch”, a tremendously engrossing look behind the headlines of San Francisco in the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s. The Sumer of Love, the Patty Hearst kidnapping, the Jonestown massacre, the assassinations of Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk, the AIDS epidemic, the rise of the 49ers dynasty – it’s all here with details of the personality and politics that drove the action.
Currently reading “Annals” by the Roman historian Tacitus, whom no less a fan than Thomas Jefferson described as “the first writer of the world, no exceptions.” It’s heavy going.
Planning to read: “A Game of Kings” by Dorothy Dunnett. I was completely blown away by her novel “King Hereafter” about the historical Macbeth. I’ve been almost afraid to start this story about 16th century Scotland because I know I’ll be sucked in and oblivious to the world while I’m reading it.
