After an annoying run of having to return library books before I can read them, I’m 3 for 3 this month (well, 2.2 at the moment, but it’ll be 3 in a day or two). That’s a relief–also, they’ve all been worth prioritizing. My wallet also appreciates that.
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?

 |
 |
| The Photonic Effect by Mike Chen |
The Best Dog in the World: Essays on Love edited by Alice Hoffman |
The Final Vow by M.W. Craven, John Banks |
The Photonic Effect starts out as Chen’s SF-iest book yet.
It’d be really nice if more of the essays about the love of/from a dog weren’t eulogies. Surely these people can talk about fantastic living dogs, right? (still, it’s such a good one)
Still early into revisting The Final Vow, but we’re just at the point where things are starting to pick up.
What did you recently finish reading?

| Go Gentle by Maria Semple |
The Arkadians by Lloyd Alexander, read by Words Take Wing Repertory Co |
Go Gentle wasn’t as good as Where’d You Go, Bernadette (few things are), but it was much better than Today Will Be Different. So I’m calling that a win. I truly spent most of the novel trying to figure out where Semple was going next–and I was always, always wrong. Her choices were far better than I could’ve guessed.
The Arkadians wasn’t Alexander at his best, but it was plenty of fun.
What do you think you’ll read next?

| Robert B. Parker’s Booked by Alison Gaylin |
Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism by Amanda Montell, read by Ann Marie Gideon |
It’s time to check-in on Sunny Randall.
I’m not really sure what Cultish is beyond the subtitle, but Mrs. Irresponsible Reader just finished it and told me I’d probably really appreciate it.
Okay, that’s my list–what do you have?
