The Monday holiday caught me a little off-guard, I really wasn’t ready to put together a WWW Wednesday, but I just remembered what day it was and I needed a little break anyway, so here we go!
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 just started Lycanthropy and Other Chronic Illnesses by Kristen O’Neal, which looks promising and am listening to Raven Cursed by Faith Hunter, Khristine Hvam (Narrator) on audiobook.
What did you recently finish reading?
I just finished the Lee Matthew Goldberg’s Runaway Train, a nifty coming-of-age story, and the fun The Authorities by Scott Meyer, Luke Daniels (Narrator) on audio.
What do you think you’ll read next?
My next book should be the second in the rejuvinated Hollows series: Million Dollar Demon by Kim Harrison. My next audiobook should be Nowhere to Run by C. J. Box, David Chandler (Narrator), which’ll get me practically half-way to caught up with this series.
What did you just finish/start?

I just finished re-reading the first book in Anthony Trollope’s “Parliamentary Novels” series, “Can You Forgive Her?” This volume introduces the willful and charming Glencora Palliser, who is the vibrant thread that connects the first five novels of the series. I had forgotten how much I liked it, and her.
Currently I am still working on “Pachinko” by Min Jin Lee, a National Book Award finalist from 2017, and also picked up “Pawn in Frankincense” again for a second try at getting through it. PiF is the fourth book in Dorothy Dunett’s “Lymond Chronicles” and I’m finding it very heavy on plot, but light on characterization and humor. And I picked up a copy of “The Documents in the Case” from the library’s 25-cent book cart. This is a collaboration between Dorothy Sayers and Robert Eustace, told in epistolary format, and 40+ pages in there is yet no sign of Lord Peter Wimsey. Bother!
Next I plan to read the second volume in the Parliamentary series, “Phineas Finn”, and also have in the queue “A Children’s Bible” by Lydia Millet.

Heard about that Millet book some last year, it looks…interesting. Eager to see your take on it.
