Here we are on February 10, the 41st day of 2021, which is a Wednesday, so we might as well tackle a WWW Wednesday, right?
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?
What are you currently reading?
I’m reading Smoke by Joe Ide, an Isaiah Quintable novel that is pretty low on Isaiah (so far) and am listening to Blood Trail by C.J. Box, David Chandler (Narrator) on audiobook, it was time to get back to Wyoming.
What did you recently finish reading?
I just finished Kate Sherran Swed’s Parting Shadows and Fated by Benedict Jacka, Gildart Jackson (Narrator) on audio—my goal is to listen to the series as preparation for the finale this fall, so I need to get moving.
What do you think you’ll read next?
My next book should be Claire DeWitt and the City of the Dead by Sara Gran, fresh from the Down the TBR series. My next audiobook was going to be the next DC Smith book, but I just listened to the narrator, Gildart Jackson, read the Alex Verus book, and I need some more distance from that before I can hear him do something else, so I think it’ll be the last Eddie LaCrosse novel He Drank, and Saw the Spider by Alex Bledsoe, Stefan Rudnicki (Narrator) on audiobook.
Hit me with your Three W’s in the comments! (no, really, do it!)

Just finished reading “Beezus and Ramona” , which was one of those children’s classics that became a classic after I was a child and before I had children. I had heard about it, and thought I should give it a try. OK, I did, but will not bother to pass this on to my grandchildren.
Also just finished Graham Swift’s “Here We Are”. He is a multiple Booker Prize nominee and one-time winner. It’s a nice little book but I don’t get what the fuss is about.
Currently reading Homer’s “Odyssey” with great pleasure in the Fagles translations, with a commentary on the side via Mendelsohn’s “An Odyssey: A Father, A Son, an Epic.”‘Wonderful combination.
Was reading Dorothy Dunnet’s “Pawn in Frankincense” the fourth book in “The Lymond Chronicles.” I found it put-down-able.
Reading next Anthony Trollope’s “The Duke’s Children” because an extended review in the Wall Street Journal reminded me how much I love Trollope.

I love getting a comment that combines Beverly Cleary, Homer, and a Booker Prize winner….

It’s all about diversity, right?
