Yay, the month is almost over and I can get back to not having to overthink what I type in the Post Title!
So, speaking of February, I’ve mentioned before, but I need to say something one more time. I’m taking part in the fundraiser, I’m Reading Every Day for American Cancer Society this month, and I’d greatly appreciate your support.

The Three Ws are:
What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading?
What do you think you’ll read next?
Seems easy enough, right? Let’s take a peek at this week’s answers:
What are you currently reading?
I’m reading the ARC of Rift in the Soul by Faith Hunter, which I’m really enjoying and seemingly not making much progress in. I’m listening to The Body’s Keepers: A Social History of Kidney Failure and Its Treatments by Paul L. Kimmel, MD, read by Lane Hakel on audiobook. It’s both fascinating and a solid reminder that I was right to avoid any career related to medicine.
What did you recently finish reading?
I just finished Bradley Sides’s Crocodile Tears Didn’t Cause the Flood, a very strange book* that I meant to post about today. I also just listened to the mercifully brief An Elderly Lady Is Up to No Good by Helene Tursten, translated by Marlaine Delargy, read by Suzanne Toren on audio.
* And I mean that in the best possible way.
What do you think you’ll read next?
My next book should be for Strong Like You by T. L. Simpson and I have no idea what my next audiobook might be. I haven’t even thought of it, really—there’s a decent chance that I’ll still be listening to The Body’s Keepers when I assemble next week’s WWW, so I’ve got time to decide.
What are you reading today—and for the “bonus day” tomorrow?

I finished up a Chrestomanci book by DW Jones.
I started an Alfred Hitchcock collection, the final one I have (so sad!)
and I plan to start Mort by Pratchett for a buddy read this Friday.

Got to this a bit late. I’m currently reading Robert Graves’ “Hercules, My Shipmate.” Graves left the Roman Empire in satirical shreds with his “I, Claudius” series, and I expect the same for Jason and the Argonauts in this earlier book. So far, just the first chapter is worth the price of admission.
I did not finish “The Spy and the Traitor” despite my friends’ urging that the last chapters were “thrilling”, and I was quite disappointed in the highly recommended “Lost Apothecary” by Sarah Penner – unrelatable protagonists and an irrational ending. So I fell back on the tried and true – Georgette Heyer’s “Black Sheep” , which has an excellent ending, and Tony Hillerman’s “Sinister Pig” which is a lightning read with a fine set of malefactors, though Jim Chee’s romantic life was dealt with a bit summarily. To complete my fluff binge, I’m browsing through “Evenings with Cary Grant”, a cheerful and adoring memoir.
Next I may go back once more to “Oscar and Lucinda”, I may get further in “Brothers Karamosov” as I am traveling and it’s the only read on my iPad, I might pick up another Hillerman or Heyer, or there is always the TBR shelf, which is quite crowded at the moment.
