It’s time for WWW Wednesday, the day where due to some obscure law, people are required to type the “www.” before a webpage address, or it won’t work. Or something like that…

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 American Demon by Kim Harrison and am listening to Wait for Signs by Craig Johnson, George Guidall (Narrator).
I just finished Timothy S. Miller’s City of Hate and Burn Me Deadly by Alex Bledsoe, Stefan Rudnicki (Narrator) on audio.
My next book should be Fair Warning by Michael Connelly and Crossing In Time by D. L. Orton with narration by Noah Michael Levine and Erin deWard on audiobook.
Hit me with your Three W’s in the comments! (or leave a link to your post)

I recently finished “Alas Babylon”, a classic post-nuclear Armageddon novel by Pat Frank. Not a comfortable read in these times! Here’s my post on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/review/RLA1F830W24ES/ref=pe_1098610_137716200_cm_rv_eml_rv0_rv
I’m nearly done with “Penguin by Design” by Phil Baines, a thoroughly delightful book on a refreshingly trivial topic – the evolution of cover designs of Penguin paperback over 70 years of publication. Beautifully printed, and with one of the wittiest covers I’ve seen.
I have just started “The Dutch House” by Ann Patchett. Looks like a modern retelling of “Hansel and Gretel, so far, complete with wicked stepmother.
Next I’m planning to re-read Anthony Trollope’s “Doctor Thorne”, as .a comforting antidote to “Alas Babylon.” And next in my stack is Julia Phillips’ “Disappearing Earth,” a National Book Award finalist about the disappearance of two children on the Kamchatka Peninsula. I love reading books set in cold places when the temperatures are in the nineties outside.

Your reading always makes me feel lazy! The Frank and Baines books look intriguing. (and yeah, I see the appeal of spending time–even if only mentally–in Kamchatka right now.

Thanks so much for the Crossing in Time shout-out! ?
I hope you enjoy. (Noah and Erin are such great narrators. They could read the ingredients list on Spam and it would sound awesome!) ?

You bet! About done with chapter 3…gonna be interesting to see how you get from there to the prologue 🙂

(and, yeah, impressed with the narrators!)
