I’ve read a couple of killer books in a row, the kind of reads that I’m intimidated to try to write about, you know? Anything I say will be a disservice. But that’s a problem for another time, now, it’s time for the check in that is WWW Wednesday!

The Three Ws are:

What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading?
What do you think you’ll read next?

Easy enough, right?

What are you currently reading?

I just started Suburban Dicks by Fabian Nicieza, which I’ve been looking forward to for a while, and am listening to the fairly amusing Yearbook by Seth Rogen (and a supporting cast) on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Lee Matthew Goldberg’s Stalker Stalked, which was just stunning, and the unimpressive Robert Ludlum’s The Treadstone Exile by Joshua Hood, Ron Butler (Narrator) on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be a little Christmas in September with Best in Snow by David Rosenfelt and my next audiobook should be Bound by Benedict Jacka, Gildart Jackson (Narrator).

Running a little late with WWW Wednesday today, but here it is.

What are you currently reading?

I’m currently reading the ARC of True Dead by Faith Hunter in preparation for a Book Tour Stop Monday. Also, I’m revisiting Bone Canyon by Lee Goldberg, Nicol Zanzarella (Narrator) on audiobook because it was so fun and I wanted to remember a couple of details before book three hits this fall.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Andrew Cartmel’s The Run-Out Groove, the second Vinyl Detective novel—something that’s been sitting on my shelf since 2018. I also just finished the audiobook for the very clever The Word is Murder by Anthony Horowitz, Rory Kinnear (Narrator) on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be Nine Nasty Words: English in the Gutter: Then, Now, and Forever by John McWhorter, because it sounds amusing and interesting—also, I haven’t read a non-fiction book in so long, I feel like I’ve forgotten how. My next audiobook should be Robert Ludlum’s The Treadstone Exile by Joshua Hood, Ron Butler (Narrator).

What are you reading to kick off September?

Another day without a “real” post. The struggle with my new schedule continues–I really thought I had a post ready to go today, I just needed a bit more work. And then I started reading, and didn’t get around to writing. I’m on a roll when it comes to books—not sure it’ll be enough for the 20 Books of Summer, but it’ll be close. It helps that I’ve hit a streak of good ones, too. Let’s take a quick look at some of them with this WWW Wednesday!

I’m reading very fun and charming The Good Byline by Jill Orr and am listening to the mildly amusing In a Sunburned Country by Bill Bryson on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished a couple of books that didn’t hold back the shocking moments: David Nolan’s The Mermaid’s Pool and Cold Wind by C. J. Box, David Chandler (Narrator) on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be the third Sam Batford novel, Fools Gold by Ian Patrick, and my next audiobook might be Warping Minds & Other Misdemeanors by Annette Marie, Rob Jacobsen and Narrated by Iggy Toma if I the hold comes through at the Library—otherwise, I have no idea.

How are you wrapping up the month?

Don’t have the time/energy for much today, but I think I can fit in WWW Wednesday…

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading an ARC of the twentieth Jesse Stone novel, Robert B. Parker’s Stone’s Throw by Mike Lupica and am listening to Burned by Benedict Jacka, Gildart Jackson (Narrator) on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished one of the noirest noirs I can remember, J. Todd Scott’s The Far Empty and Pray for Silence by Linda Castillo, Kathleen McInerney (Narrator) on audio—which is pretty disturbing, too.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be Love by Roddy Doyle—outside of periodic re-reads, I haven’t read Doyle this century. It’s about time I fix that. My next audiobook should be Kill All the Lawyers by Paul Levine, William Dufris (Narrator).

Are you reading anything good?

So, it’s a little too early to really know how things are going to change with the new job as far as time for books and audiobooks—but I can tell you how it’s going this week. I’ve found about the same time to read—it’s shifted and in different sized chunks. So that’s a relief. But audiobook-time has taken a dive, maybe this week I’ll be able to finish the not-very-long book that I started Friday. In the midst of all the personal upheaval, one thing has remained constant—it’s time for WWW Wednesday!

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading The Dead House by Harry Bingham, the next novel in one of those series that I keep getting distracted from, and I’m listening to The Deep Blue Alibi by Paul Levine, William Dufris (Narrator) on audiobook—switching narrators from the first book threw me a little, but am enjoying it (when I can listen).

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Andy Abramowitz’s A Beginner’s Guide to Free Fall and Black Arts by Faith Hunter, Khristine Hvam (Narrator) on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be The Far Empty by J. Todd Scott and my next audiobook (assuming I ever finish The Deep Blue Alibi) should be Burned by Benedict Jacka, Gildart Jackson (Narrator).

Time for the first WWW Wednesday of August, where the books are as hot as the weather!

(wow, that was cheezy, I’m not sure where that came from. I’m hearing the voice of Sean Evans in my head as I read the sentence…)

My next book should be Twice Cursed by J. C. Jackson and my next audiobook should be The Deep Blue Alibi by Paul Levine, William Dufris (Narrator).

How are you starting this month?

Wait, it’s July 28th already? I’m not ready for that in several ways–can we get a recount? A mulligan? A giant “Pause” button? Time for the last WWW Wednesday of July!

My next book should be All Together Now by Matthew Norman—which is what I said last week, but I got distracted—and my next audiobook is TBD.

What are you doing to wrap up the month?

The month is melting away and I’m starting to worry about my reading goal for the month (which is about as lame as it sounds, I realize, but that’s where I am). Returning to the office has really messed with my reading, and has wrecked my audiobook listening, so not a lot has changed since last week, but, still it’s time for WWW Wednesday!

Hope you’re reading something good, tell me about it!

After 15 months of telecommuting, I’m back to just commuting–this is wrecking my sleep and reading–and therefore blogging–habits. I’m still managing to do some of all three, but I’m having to make plenty of adjustments. Which is why things are a little light here this week. Still, I have been able to scrape together enough for this WWW Wednesday.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be August Snow by Stephen Mack Jones, I’m looking forward to seeing what waits for me there. My next audiobook should be The Drifter by Nick Petrie, Stephen Mendel (Narrator) (largely because my library just added it to their Overdrive collection)..

What about you? Reading anything good?

I’m writing from a refreshingly chilly hotel 607 miles south(ish) from home, in Cedar City, UT. The trip is making things a little strange on the reading front (and non-existent on the audiobook front)–but I still think I have enough fodder for July’s first WWW Wednesday!
