Here we are, knocking at the end of June, preparing for that wonderful time of the year where it seems like half of the people in my subdivision are trying to terrify my dogs into moving to Canada. Why don’t we commemorate it with a WWW Wednesday? My current book is taking a lot out of me–and it’s cutting into my audiobook time, so I’m not making a lot of progress with those, either. I’m not complaining (much), because it’s such a good book–but man, it’s taking a lot out of me.

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 making slow and steady progress through the monumental The Border by Don Winslow. I’m listening to Songbird by Peter Grainger, Gildart Jackon (Narrator) on audiobook, it’s a spin-off or sequel or continuation or…something to the DC Smith series and it’s very strange listening to this next phase with these characters (good! but strange).
What did you recently finish reading?
I most recently finished Lee Goldberg’s Movieland and Daughter of the Morning Star by Craig Johnson, George Guidall (Narrator) on audio.
What do you think you’ll read next?
My next book should be A World Without “Whom”: The Essential Guide to Language in the BuzzFeed Age by Emmy J. Favilla and my next audiobook should be My Mess Is a Bit of a Life: Adventures in Anxiety by Georgia Pritchett, Katherine Parkinson (Narrator) (I largely checked this out for the title).
What about you?

I am currently reading Mark Halperin’s “Soldier of the Great War” VERY slowly. Also nearly finished with “Hot Time in the Old Town” by Edward Kohn. My great-grandmother was a nurse in NYC during the great heat wave of 1896 which killed almost 1400 people in ten days – it’s humbling to imagine what she went through.
I just finished the third novel in Elizabeth Strout’s Amgash trilogy, having reread the first two novels recently. The third winds up the trilogy tidily, but I didn’t find as much joy in it as was hidden between the lines of the first two. That’s the way it is often with sequels – you have to wind up the various plot lines, and the themes and characters get lost.
Next I expect to read “All the Light We Cannot See”, but I may get distracted again.

As horrible as heat waves can be today, I can’t imagine what it’d be like w/1890s tech…
Distracted from a reading plan? Can’t imagine what that’s like 🙂
