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?

| How to Dodge a Cannonball by Dennard Dayle |
The Undead Fox of Deadwood Forest by Marisa Calin, read by Aubrey Hartman |
I’m not sure what to say about Dayle’s book yet–it’s a satire set in the Civil War about a white teen in an all-black squad in an almost-all-black regiment. I’m very impressed, but am still trying to figure out just where it’s going before I firm up my impressions.
Calin’s book was being promoted by a local bookstore, and looked like just the needed level of lightness.
What did you recently finish reading?

| The Amazing Twin Chicken Freedom Fighters by Zephaniah Sole |
Lies Sleeping by Ben Aaronovitch, read by Kobna Holdbrook-Smith |
Sole’s book is either brilliant, the ravings of a mad man, or both. I’m leaning toward the latter. My goal is to expand on that soon.
This is my 3rd time through Lies Sleeping, and I picked up so much this time that I think I missed before (or just plum forgot). And, it’s a rollicking great time.
What do you think you’ll read next?

| King of Ashes by S.A. Cosby |
Money, Lies, and God: Inside the Movement to Destroy American Democracy by Katherine Stewart, read by Patricia Rodriguez |
Family drama, a crime story, and S.A. Cosby…King of Ashes sounds like a grim but fantastic time.
I heard an interview with Stewart this morning, so when I was browsing the Library’s offerings and saw this book, I figured I might as well give it a whirl. Would like to hear a bit more about what lead her to some of her conclusions.
