It’s a race to the finish line for this year’s 20 Books of Summer (one of those self-imposed goals that becomes all the more important as the deadline gets closer but is totally meaningless in reality). It’s mathematically possible (maybe even probable) that I’ll finish in time. But it’ll be by the proverbial skin of my teeth, the sands of the hourglass will be almost depleted, etc., etc. I failed when I set up my reading order and ended up with three straight fantasy novels, which might be too much of that genre in a row for me. Hopefully, the varied voices/tones in the books will be enough.

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?
Today, I’m starting Bard Tidings by Paul Regnier, and am listening to The Night Ends with FireE by K. X. Song, read by Natalie Naudus on audiobook.
What did you recently finish reading?
I just finished H.C. Newell’s Curse of the Fallen—I’m reeling from the ending (but really shouldn’t be)—and Malibu Burning by Lee Golberg, read by Eric Conger on audio.
What do you think you’ll read next?
My next book should be Panacea by Alex Robins (I still love that cover) and my next audiobook should be Zero Stars, Do Not Recommend by MJ Wassmer, read by Stephen R. Thorne (that cover makes me think of a Rom-Com for some reason)
What kinds of things are you reading lately?

I just finished the second book I’ve read this year about the Berlin Wall…maybe we’re trending away from WW2?

Berlin Wall books seems like an interesting trend. Depending on the year they’re set in, could be rather dark, too.
