This is the third (and, I think, final) “hey, what am I reading” kind of post for the week. If I’d planned better, maybe I could’ve broken them up more. But I didn’t. So at least I can move on now.

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?

Cover of The Devils by Joe Abercrombie Cover of What’s Next by Melissa Fitzgerald and Mary McCormack Cover of Some Sort of Justice by Peter Grainger
The Devils
by Joe Abercrombie		 What’s Next: A Backstage Pass to The West Wing, Its Cast and Crew, and Its Enduring Legacy of Service
by Melissa Fitzgerald and Mary McCormack		 Some Sort of Justice
by Peter Grainger, read by Gildart Jackson

I heard just a little bit of the alternate history involved in Abercrombie’s fantasy novel on Monday. That alone seems worth cracking it open.

I’m about 10% into What’s Next, and already I’m glad I finally stopped putting this off.

It took less than 20 minutes of listening to Gildart Jackson for me to be content in Grainger’s world again. Ahhh…

What did you recently finish reading?

Cover of Three Hitmen and a Baby Hart by Rob Hart Cover of Finlay Donovan Crosses the Line by Elle Cosimano
Three Hitmen and a Baby
by Rob Hart		 Finlay Donovan Crosses the Line
by Elle Cosimano, read by Angela Dawe

The latest installment in the Assassins Anonymous series is just as fun, action-packed, and full-of-heart as its predecessors. Hart pulls no punches here (unlike his characters, who are trying to avoid all that).

The Lucy and Ethel of amateur detectives are up to their usual antics. I think this was better than their recent excursion to Atlantic City, which tested my patience.

What do you think you’ll read next?

Cover of The Brothers McKay by Craig Johnson Cover of Double Whammy by Carl Hiaasen
The Brothers McKay
by Craig Johnson		 Double Whammy
by Carl Hiaasen, read by George K. Wilson

This is possibly the longest that I’ve let a new Walt Longmire gone unread in years. Hope to crack it open no later than this weekend.

I’ve been curious about Hiaasen for ages. This just showed up as a new addition to my library’s audio collection. Figured I might as well try it.

How are you all starting the month?
