Category: WWW Wednesday Page 27 of 33

I’ve had to stop trying on a couple of posts for today, they’re just going to take more work than I’m ready for. But I can check in with a WWW Wednesday, which I find interesting (both to put together and to read other people’s), I hope you do, too—’cuz that’s all I’ve got in me today.

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’m reading The Bounty by Janet Evanovich with Steve Hamilton (unless it’s dramatically better than the previous novel—a very low bar—this will be my last Fox & O’Hare book) and am continuing my resisting of the Alex Verus series with Chosen by Benedit Jacka, Gildart Jackson (Narrator) on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished the second Ben Bracken thriller, Rob Parker’s Morte Point and Three Mages and a Margarita by Annette Marie, Cris Dukehart (Narrator) on audio, the first in a promising UF series.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be the 90s throwback Runaway Train by Lee Matthew Goldberg and my next audiobook should be The Authorities by Scott Meyer, Luke Daniels (Narrator)—I’m a little nervous about Meyer outside of Magic 2.0, but I know with Daniels at least it’ll be a good listen.

What about you, what are your current/recent/ reads?

It may seem like I’m not making a lot of progress lately on various books–and that’s only because I’m not. Work’s been crazy and I’m having a hard time finding the time to read–and when I do, there’s not a lot of energy to do it, I’m having a hard time focusing enough to keep going with audiobooks, too. Also, I’ve been beta reading an upcoming novel–I’ll talk more about that soon, but that’s been taking time away from the regular reading (which is not a complaint–great read, I can’t wait to tell you to go buy the book in a couple of months).

Anyway, that’s just to explain why there hasn’t been a lot of turnover in the last few of these posts, but maybe this WWW Wednesday will be the beginning of a return to normal.

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading The Jigsaw Man by Nadine Matheson and am revisiting (for the first time since the late 80s) All Creatures Great and Small by James Herriot, Christopher Timothy (Narrator) on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Scott Ryan’s fantastic Moonlighting: An Oral History and the twisted fun that is A Man With One of Those Faces by Caimh McDonnell, Morgan C. Jones (Narrator) on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be the second Ben Bracken novel, Morte Point by Rob Parker and my next audiobook should be The Data Detective: Ten Easy Rules to Make Sense of Statistics by Tim Harford (who also narrates it). I’m sure that past-me had a good reason for it when he placed the reserve, I just wish I remembered it*.

* I’m sure it’s a fine book, but really past me–statistics???

Hit me with your Three W’s in the comments! I’m curious!

I feel like I’ve been stumbling, barely conscious through this week so far—is it just me? Let’s hope this WWW Wednesday perks me up.

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading the ARC for Moonlighting: An Oral History by Scott Ryan (and all I want to do is take a vacation from life and watch my DVDs now) and am listening to A Man With One of Those Faces by Caimh McDonnell, Morgan C. Jones (Narrator) on audiobook, one of those books I inexplicably kept putting off starting.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Rob Parker’s A Wanted Man and Time and Tide by Peter Grainger, Gildart Jackson (Narrator) on audio—the theme of which left me in a funk (great book, though).

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be The Jigsaw Man by Nadine Matheson (which does not promise to be a feel-good read) and I have no idea what my next audiobook will be, DNF’ing something yesterday has thrown off my schedule.

It’s the first Wednesday of May, ergo the first WWW Wednesday of May.

We’re in the home stretch of April, which is hard to wrap my brain around, here on the last Wednesday of the month, so we might as well check in with a WWW Wednesday.

Due to technical difficulties, I missed last week’s post, but now I’m back with a fresh WWW Wednesday. Missing one underscored for me how I’ve come to lean on this as a way to organize and plan.

I may be having a hard time finishing a book post lately, but that’s not for lack of material—my reading is going full-steam ahead, so at least I can do a WWW Wednesday.

What are you currently reading?

This is one of those odd times where I’m doing a couple of books at once—I’m reading Blood and Treasure: Daniel Boone and the Fight for America’s First Frontier by Bob Drury & Tom Clavin, Cross Her Heart by Melinda Leigh, and am listening to Slow Horses by Mick Herron, Gerard Doyle (Narrator) on audiobook (which is so good, I’m wondering why I didn’t move on to the rest of the series after I read it a couple of years ago).

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Kate Sheeran Swed’s Prodigal Storm (I can’t believe I misspelled that title last week) and No Country for Old Gnomes by Delilah S. Dawson & Kevin Hearne, Luke Daniels (Narrator) on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be The Art of Violence by S. J. Rozan—I should have read this last fall, and can’t wait to finally get to it—and Next to Last Stand by Craig Johnson, George Guidall (Narrator) on audiobook.

What about you—reading anything good?

Here we are at the end of the month—and before I start seeing what I accomplished around here, let’s check in with a WWW Wednesday, all right?

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading The Particulars of Peter: Dance Lessons, DNA Tests, and Other Excuses to Hang Out with My Perfect Dog by Kelly Conaboy—a book only marginally longer than its title—and am listening to No Country for Old Gnomes by Delilah S. Dawson & Kevin Hearne, Luke Daniels (Narrator) on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished (and thoroughly enjoyed) Duncan MacMaster’s Drop the Mikes and the blast from the past, The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan, Jesse Bernstein (Narrator) on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be the last of the Toccata System trilogy, Progigal Storm by Kate Sheeran Swed, and Slow Horses by Mick Herron, Gerard Doyle (Narrator) on audiobook. I need to refresh myself on this book so I can get serious about the series before a friend locks me into a small room for a week with no internet and only a stack of these books.

What about you—how’re you closing out this month? What does April have in store for you?

Last week, we had Pi Day, The Ides of March, St. Patrick’s Day, and the Spring Equinox. This week? Um…Crickets. March takes all the interesting days and puts them in a row. The best I can find for today is that it’s the twelfth Wednesday of 2021 and it’s World Tuberculosis Day. I don’t know about you, but I forgot to get Tuberculosis a card. Maybe I’ll just settle for a WWW Wednesday, instead of attempting the herculean task of hunting for a Belated World Tuberculosis Day Greeting Card

I’m reading Small Talk by Robert T. Germaux and am listening to Below Zero by C. J. Box, David Chandler (Narrator) on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished the ARC for David Rosenfelt;s Animal Instinct and was blown away by Bluebird, Bluebird by Attica Locke, J. D. Jackson (Narrator) on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

There are 3 books yet that I hope to read this week, which is probably not going to happen. So I need to be responsible, I have a Book Tour Stop on Monday, so my next book should be Dead in the Water by Chris McDonald (responsible should always be as fun as the Stonebridge Mysteries). Then, because I need a change of pace—The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan, Jesse Bernstein (Narrator) on audiobook.
