I really don’t have an idea for an intro to this post, so I’ll just give another plug to Ask Me (just about) Anything for My Upcoming Blogiversary. I’ve received some fun questions so far, but I bet yours will be just as fun!
Now, on to the WWW…

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 Questland by Carrie Vaughn–someone left me a comment last year telling me to go into it with low expectations–and I’m trying that, but it’s hard considering it’s Vaughn. Yesterday, I started listening to The Chinese Groove by Kathryn Ma, James Chen (Narrator) on audiobook. I haven’t found my groove with it yet, but I’m hoping I will.
What did you recently finish reading?
Yesterday I finished two books that weren’t what I expected and are both going to be hard to talk about because I have too much to say about them: Alix E. Harrow’s The Once and Future Witches and This Bird Has Flown by Susanna Hoffs, narrated by Susanna Hoffs and Juliet Stevenson on audio.
What do you think you’ll read next?
My next book should be Fixit by Joe Ide (a triumph of a due date over my plans). My next audiobook should be what promises to be a dynamite conclusion to the Thirty Miles Trilogy—The Only Truly Dead by Rob Parker, Warren Brown (Narrator).
What about you?

I’m currently still reading at “The Brothers Karamosov”, Nadine Gordimer’s collection of short stories “Jump”, and the poetry of Rabindranath Tagore. I’m also reading a biography of Edith Wilson, “Untold Power”. And I’ve started a YA classic “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn” – so far I’m underwhelmed.
I just finished P.D.James’ “Original Sin”, an Adam Dalgleish mystery in which AD hovers in the background while his assistants Kate Miskin and Daniel Aaron do the heavy lifting – not her best. I also finished David McCullough’s “The Johnstown Flood” – very timely with all our weather oddities.
Next I will read “Lessons in Chemistry” by Bonnie Garmus, which was recommended to me by one of my most serious book friends, so I am very surprised already by the chick-lit-style cover and don’t know at all what to expect.

I’ve heard plenty of good things about Lessons in Chemistry that seem to belie the cover. But haven’t given it a shot, so who knows?
PD James…you’re so good at reminding me of authors/books that I’ve meant to try.
