My reading this week has been greatly reduced (actually didn’t crack a book yesterday at all, a true rarity). Part of that is due to work (just a couple of training days), but the biggest thing is that the Grandcritter has arrived, and I’ve had a hard time focusing on anything that isn’t him. He’s a wonderful little guy, and cuter than everything that’s not Grogu—and even that knight might not be able to compete with the Critter (don’t worry, I’m not going to plaster the page with a bunch of pictures). So, yeah, it turns out something can trump books in this reader’s life. Still, I managed to get almost enough material for this post.

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 seem to have taken a break from Kneading Journalism by Tony Ganzer, but I will get back to it today. I’m reading Chain-Gang All-Stars by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah and am listening to Morning Star by Pierce Brown, Tim Gerard Reynolds (Narrator) on audiobook, it’s hard to know which is more brutal—but I’m leaning toward Chain-Gang All-Stars, if only because the future described there is a lot closer to when we are now (and it’s much more likely to happen than Brown’s future).

What did you recently finish reading?

I most recently finished Dave Barry’s Swamp Story, a truly zany story, and The Stench of Honolulu by Jack Handey (Narrator) on audio, which wanted to be zany.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be The Winter of Frankie Machine by Don Winslow and I haven’t even thought about what my next audiobook should be, thankfully, Morning Star is a long one, so I have some time before I have to come up with something.
