So Monday night, my Internet service goes down—and stays down for 16 hours. It’s times like this that remind me how dependent I am on the silly thing. Can’t post anything, can’t keep on on my bloghopping/social media, or any of the handful of other things I needed to do. And then, of course, I’m still telecommuting—so missing out on over half my workday on Tuesday was icing on a really nasty cake*. Before I realize what’s happening, it’s time for WWW Wednesday! I need these questions just to help me get my head on straight.
* The cream filling was that I caught up on my reading after a slow week last week, 1.7 books in that 16 hours.

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?
(assuming the shipment arrives when UPS says it will) I’m reading Peace Talks by Jim Butcher and am listening to Velocity Weapon by Megan E. O’Keefe, Joe Jameson (Narrator)..
I just finished Abbi Waxman’s I Was Told It Would Get Easier and haven’t finished the audiobook I started last Wednesday (probably will today).
My next book should be The Silence by Luca Veste and is still going to be Land of Wolves by Craig Johnson, George Guidall (Narrator) on audiobook.
Hit me with your Three W’s in the comments!

I usually try to have one fiction and one non-fiction book in process. I just finished “Cousin Henry” an uncharacteristically short and almost experimental novel by Anthony Trollope. If you are a fan already, this is an interesting diversion from Trollope’s usual style. Here’s my Amazon review: https://www.amazon.com/Cousin-Classics-Trollope-Anthony-Paperback/dp/B00GSCUXZG/ref=sr_1_1?crid=13SWJX9AXDLL6&dchild=1&keywords=cousin+henry&qid=1594839377&sprefix=cousin+henry%2Caps%2C212&sr=8-1#customerReviews
I also just finished Constance Millard’s ” Hero of the Empire”, an account of Winston Churchills first brush with fame and glory during the Boer War, as he is captured and then escapes from a South African prison camp. If you are interested in what made Churchill into the icon he became, this is a Must Read! Here’s my Amazon review: https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/RI9L6WUTWHCTC?ref=pf_ov_at_pdctrvw_srp
Currently I’m reading “The Return of Tarzan” by Edgar Rice Burroughs, because it was one of my Dad’s favorites and I never read it, and “A Most Dangerous Book” by Christopher Krebs about how Tacitus’s “Germania” influenced the Third Reich.
Next I’m planning to read “Red to the Bone” by Jacqueline Woodson, a highly recommended short novel about young black American life, and “Sailing the Wine-Dark Sea”, Thomas Cahill’s book about how the Greeks influenced Western Civilization.
