I don’t know about the rest of you, but I could use 3 more days this month. The 28th is looming large over my February To-Do List, and my reading this week is all about checking off those boxes.
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 wrapping up Haven by Ceril N Domace for a Tour later this week and I’m about done with the audiobook Red Rising by Pierce Brown, Tim Gerard Reynolds (Narrator)—and wow, I’d forgotten how good this was. I mean, I remembered loving this brutal book. But…wow. Why did I wait so long to do this?
What did you recently finish reading?
The last print book I finished was Anna Strong’s Anna and the Vampire Prince. The last audiobook I finished is still Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun by Elle Cosimano, Angela Dawe (Narrator).
What do you think you’ll read next?
I had to shuffle things around so the “next” book from last week won’t be tackled for a week or so. later today, I should be Foundations by Abigail Stewart and my next audiobook should still be Pocket Apocalypse by Seanan McGuire, Ray Porter (Narrator).
How are you ending the month?

I am currently reading Jonathan Franzen’s “The Corrections”. It is a satirical family dramedy, a genre I do not particularly care for. I’m about 50 pages in and hope I can stay the course.
Also finished the 6th of Isak Dinesen’s “7 Gothic Tales.” Intricate, strange, evocative.
Also reading at “The Roosevelt Myth” and at Steven Farmer’s “Adult Children of Abusive Parents” -trying to get some insight into some family issues.
I just finished reading two early Larry McMurtry novels in preparation for a pilgrimage to Archer City TX next month (McMurtry’s home town and the setting for a number of his novels.) “Horseman, Pass By” is a tale of a ranching family living in the arid west of Texas and scrabbling by until disaster strikes. It was made into a movie starring Paul Newman as “Hud”. The book is a good deal tougher than the movie, since Newman is just so darned likeable that even when he is playing a scuzzbag you can’t help but find excuses.
Unable to stop, I read on with “Leaving Cheyenne”, another tale of hardscrabble ranching illuminated by an enduring love triangle.
The last in the “Thalia” trilogy is “The Last Picture Show”. I’ll probably read that next.

You’ve really got me thinking about McMurtry lately…
How is The Rooseelt Myth?
Best of luck with The Corrections!
