It seems like every audiobook I’ve placed on hold at the library became available in the last week–thankfully, I’ve been able to (mostly) stay on top of them.
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?
Seems easy enough, right? Let’s take a peek at this week’s answers:
What are you currently reading?
I’m reading Woman in White by Wilkie Collins, and am listening to Lost Talismans and a Tequila by Annette Marie, read by Teddy Hamilton, Cris Dukehart on audiobook.
What did you recently finish reading?
I just finished Shami Stovall’s Time-Marked Warlock. a dynamite soon-to-be-released Urban Fantasy. Yesterday, I finished the audio short story Dietrich by Don Winslow, read by Ed Harris (a dynamic duo as usual) and the audiobook The Secret Lives of Booksellers and Librarians: True Stories of the Magic of Reading by James Patterson and Matt Eversmann, read by Tom Force, Nancy Peterson, Jenn Lee, Jennifer Pickens, Amy Jensen, Deanna Anthony, Jane Oppenheimer, Susan Hanfield, Marni Penning, Daniel Henning, and Rob Reider (and possibly 20 other people, at a certain point, you lose track).
What do you think you’ll read next?
My next book should be the promising looking Red Queen by Juan Gómez-Jurado and my next audiobook should be a book I’ve been eager to listen to for some time now, Making It So by Patrick Stewart.
What are you up to?

I’m about a third through Joseph Conrad’s “Lord Jim”, a re-read since high school, and liking it a great deal. I have also started a non-fiction “Our Moon” about our pale satellite and its many influences on our lives, and “Mattawan’s Memoirs” by Agatha Christie’s archaeologist husband is still on my bedside table. I also have taken a look at Neil Gaiman and Terry Patchet’s coop effort, “Good Omens” but I may find it just a bit too British and clever for my tastes.
While I was traveling, I finished Jules Verne’s “Mysterious Island” and Ivan Doig’s “Work Song”, and in the last week I polished off the third in Doig’s Morrie Morgan trilogy, “Sweet Thunder”, which required a bit of suspended disbelief at the end but provided a pleasant Happy Ever After for the hero. (My ability to suspend disbelief was considerably exercised by Jules Verne, so no problem.)
Next… maybe “The Book of Doors” will surface at the library again. Or I can always reread a Trollope.
