I would make a lousy recipe blogger–yet again, I can’t come up with an intro for this post. Let’s just get into it, shall we?
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?

| Electric City Switches by M.D. Presley |
Ancillary Sword by Ann Leckie, read by Adjoa Andoh |
I just got started with this ARC from Presley, so I don’t have much to say yet. But it’s nice to be back in this world.
Okay, I’ve not heard how to pronounce a lot of the books in Ancillary Justice, and I was right about 2 of the many. And the new characters/worlds/ethnicities? I wouldn’t even want to guess how to spell 99.5% of them. Like I said last week, I’d heard the narrator is great–and she is. But Leckie’s text is complex enough that I am listening to this much slower than usual–and have had to rewind some
What did you recently finish reading?

| Paranormal Payback edited by Jim Butcher and Kerrie L. Hughes |
Cat on a Hot Tin Woof by Spencer Quinn |
Violet Thistlewaite Is Not a Villain Anymore by Emily Krempholtz, read by Emma Ladji |
Paranormal Payback is (as one might expect) a mixed bag–but the highs are very high. And the lows aren’t that low. I’ve added a couple of authors to my “look into” list.
I enjoyed this Chet and Bernie bookas I talked about earlier today.

| The Traitor Baru Cormorant by Seth Dickinson |
Enemy of My Enemy by Alex Segura, read by Michael David Axtell |
I really don’t know what to expect about Dickinson’s book (one Fantasy group I’m in on Facebook featured a tepid-at-best review of this book a couple of days ago), but I’m looking forward to seeing for myself. At least for now.
Yes, I’m afraid of ODing on Daredevil. Oh, well…I’ve been waiting for this book too long, it’s a risk I’m willing to take.
What are you (hopefully) enjoying this week?

I’m currently reading “As Far As She Knew” by Diana Awad. Only about one-third of the way through, but so far it’s definitely keeping my attention. I’ve turned off the light at night and gone to sleep a little later because I just had to read the next chapter, always a good sign.
I recently finished “Stakeouts and Strollers” by Rob Phillips. I enjoyed it, but I thought things got a little too . . . I guess movie-ish at the end. It was as though Phillips had a movie version in mind as he wrote, one with lots of action. Still an enjoyable read.
Next up will probably be “The Land of Sweet Forever” by Harper Lee.

Gone to sleep late over a book is a good sign (or you have a deadline approaching for a post…)
Yeah, the ending was “movie-ish” but I kinda think the beginning and most of the middle was, too.
