WWW Wednesday—June 10, 2026

The last week and a half has found me fighting sleep almost every minute I’ve been awake–which hasn’t made for a lot of reading or writing. But the reading I’ve managed to do more than makes the struggle worth it. I’m on a great streak of winners right now–and hope it continues for a while.

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?

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
Double Whammy
by Carl Hiaasen, read by George K. Wilson

The famed DCC starts off slow, not un-entertainingly. It needs to set up ground rules (literally) for the book/series. I think I’m close to finishing that part–and I’m eager to get to whatever comes next. I’m beginning to see the appeal of it all.

I feel like I could easily sit and tear through What’s Next in one sitting–despite the 600-ish page length. I’m glad I’m limiting myself to a chapter or two a day so I can relish it.

Hiassan has a lot of style and quirky characters. I’m really digging this.

What did you recently finish reading?

Some Sort of Justice
by Peter Grainger, read by Gildart Jackson

Johnson gave us one of the best Longmire novels this year. I was grinning throughout.

Grainger’s latest was more than satisfying. The only problem is that I’m going to have to wait another 12+ months for the next one.

What do you think you’ll read next?

It’s been a while since I read about a morally grey Scottish police officer. I’m hoping McSorley’s DI Alison McCoist fixes that for me.

I’m dipping another toe into the world of The Spellshop. Time to find out if I’m a fan of Durst in general or just that book.

How’s your summer reading going? You have any winners?

  1. I fell in love with The Dungeon Book By Gareth Hanrahan and The Children by Melissa Albert.

      The Dungeon Book has gone on my list, thanks for that. The Children looks promising, too.
