WWW Wednesday—May 13, 2026

I’m having another one of those weeks where everything is taking approximately 50% more time to do than it should, and I’m distracted from doing everything 70% more than usual. Put the two of those things together, and you get…silence on this here blog. So, here I am trying to make a little noise.

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?


Nice Places by Vicent Chu	The Best Dog in the World: Essays on Love edited by Alice Hoffman	Bloody Rose by Nicholas Eames, Katherine Fenton

I haven’t made much progress in Nice Places, and I’m really not sure where Chu’s going with this. But I’m really enjoying the journey.

I’m tackling an essay each evening for the next couple of weeks from The Best Dog in the World. Bonnie Garmus has convinced me to give Lessons in Chemistry a try because of hers. I’m assuming she won’t be the last one to do so.

Following on the heels of Kings of the Wyld, I decided to tackle Bloody Rose on audiobook (if only to reduce Mt. TBR by a hair). Putting the two so close together, I’m doing a better job of understanding and appreciating the differences in tone and focus between the two.

What did you recently finish reading?


Kings of the Wyld by Nicholas Eames	The Terminal List by Jack Carr, read by Ray Porter

Kings of the Wyld had everything I remembered–humor, heart, action, and fantastic fantasy creatures. It’s one that I’m glad to see holds up to multiple re-reads.

Well, The Terminal List proved that I will listen to Ray Porter read anything. That’s all I can say about it.
