Assembling furniture always takes a lot longer than it should, right? Last night, I got a desk halfway assembled when I noticed I’d switched a couple of legs in step 2. So had to disassemble it, redo that part and then complete the desk. Then, when I got to the last step, I realized that I’d actually had the legs in the right spots earlier, they were just backward—sooo back to the beginning one more time. I got it finished, and am just ignoring the extra parts…
This is just to say, that I didn’t have time to get anything scheduled last night, but here’s a quick WWW Wednesday!

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 two books at the moment: the whimsical history, How to Slay a Dragon: A Fantasy Hero’s Guide to the Real Middle Ages by Cait Stevenson, and the new Toby Daye novel, When Sorrows Come by Seanan McGuire. I’m also listening to Broken Soul by Faith Hunter, Khristine Hvam (Narrator) on audiobook.
What did you recently finish reading?
I just finished Spencer Quinn’s It’s a Wonderful Woof (a little more Christmas in September) and Bound by Benedict Jacka, Gildart Jackson (Narrator) on audio.
What do you think you’ll read next?
My next book should be Pug Actually by Matt Dunn (because I apparently can’t go more than one novel lately without a dog on the cover) and my next audiobook should be Word by Word: The Secret Life of Dictionaries by Kory Stamper on audiobook which looks like a nerdy kind of fun.
Hit me with yours, they’re always inspirational.

I just finished reading Natasha Trethewen’s “Memorial Drive”, a memoir of her murdered mother, evocative of all the memories we wish we could retrieve of loved ones lost. I also breezed through Philip Pullman’s “A Ruby in the Smoke”, a disappointingly trivial Victorian potboiler, no comparison to his wonderful “Golden Compass” trilogy.
I am currently reading “The Memoirs of Hadrian”, a surprisingly charming imagining of the Roman Emperor’s musings on his career, and Gore Vidal’s “1876”, a snide and satiric look at US politics in the Gilded Age.
Next I’m planning to read Milton’s “Paradise Lost” for a class, and maybe a Louise Penny or Lee Child for fun.
