WWW Wednesday—July 15, 2026

The hot streak I was on at the beginning of the summer has cooled a bit (on the books only, sadly, not outside). But it was bound to happen eventually, and I’m not reading anything bad. Just not-as-good-as-I’d-hoped.

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?


First Mage on the Moon by Cameron Johnston	True Romance: A Noir Anthology edited by Troy Lambert & Vincent Zandri	The Patient by Tim Sullivan, read by Finlay Robertson

I’m taking too long to read First Mage, and I’m not sure why (other than taking 2 evenings off to working through Utomi’s Forever Desert series…but that wouldn’t explain it). Hoping to finish it this evening, but I’ve said that Friday, Saturday, Monday, and Tuesday, too.

True Romance continues to be a good collection, even if the one I read last night was a giant disappointment.

The Patient is as good as I’d hoped The Cyclist would be, if not better. My parasocial bromance with Tim Sullivan is back on.

What did you recently finish reading?


The Memory of the Ogisi by Moses Ose Utomi	The Faraway Inn by Sarah Beth Durst, read by Soneela Nankani

Utomi is…okay I don’t know how to put this. He’s easily the most efficient writer I’ve read this year. He can put as much into 100 pages as some people do in 350. And it’s all good.

Huh. I guess I knew how to say it.

Durst’s YA was fine–but I think I’ll stick with her non-YA stuff.

What do you think you’ll read next?


Asteroid Savage by Thomas Trang	The Daughters’ War by Christopher Buehlman, read by Nikki Garcia

I’m eager to try Trang’s SF (and the sequel that just came out, and the sequel to it that’ll come out in a few weeks)

I’m intimidated by Buehlman’s prequel to The Blacktongue Thief. I think I started it once before and bailed quickly (mostly due to time constraints). But I want to get it under my belt now so I’m fully prepared for the next book in the series.
