I’m ba-aa-aa-ck. I think.

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?

I’m reading the ARC for Moonbound by Robin Sloan (a book I’m terrified that I’m going to have to describe soon), 42: The Wildly Improbable Ideas of Douglas Adams edited by Kevin Jon Davies and am listening to Backpacking Through Bedlam by Seanan McGuire, read by Emily Bauer on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Shannon Knight’s Grave Cold (yes, I finally did it!) and After the Storm by Linda Castillo, read by Kathleen McInerney on audio.

Oh, also:

Chasing Empy Caskets by E.N. Crane, The Good Samaritan Strikes Again by Patrick F. McManus, The Secret & Hunting Virgins by Wayne Hawk, Price to Pay by Dave Sivers, The Olympian Affair by Jim Butcher, The Binding Room by Nadine Matheson, and All Systems Red by Martha Wells.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be the ARC for Assassins Anonymous by Rob Hart and my next audiobook should be Dark Days by Derek Landy, read by Rupert Degas.

WHat’ve you been up to lately?

No time for an intro or anything, let’s just drive

What are you currently reading?

I’m still reading (and making oddly slow progress in) Woman in White by Wilkie Collins and the short story collection, Takeout Sushi by Christopher Green. I’m listening to Making It So by Patrick Stewart on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

I last finished Shami Stovall’s Time-Marked Warlock, a dynamite soon-to-be-released Urban Fantasy and the audiobook, Lost Talismans and a Tequila by Annette Marie, read by Teddy Hamilton, Cris Dukehart.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be the promising-looking Red Queen by Juan Gómez-Jurado and my next audiobook should be Spelunking Through Hell by Seanan McGuire, read by Emily Bauer.

Tell me what you’re reading.

Oh, also, Bookstooge, try to restrain your Collins I-told-you-so.

It seems like every audiobook I’ve placed on hold at the library became available in the last week–thankfully, I’ve been able to (mostly) stay on top of them.

I just finished Shami Stovall’s Time-Marked Warlock. a dynamite soon-to-be-released Urban Fantasy. Yesterday, I finished the audio short story Dietrich by Don Winslow, read by Ed Harris (a dynamic duo as usual) and the audiobook The Secret Lives of Booksellers and Librarians: True Stories of the Magic of Reading by James Patterson and Matt Eversmann, read by Tom Force, Nancy Peterson, Jenn Lee, Jennifer Pickens, Amy Jensen, Deanna Anthony, Jane Oppenheimer, Susan Hanfield, Marni Penning, Daniel Henning, and Rob Reider (and possibly 20 other people, at a certain point, you lose track).

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be the promising looking Red Queen by Juan Gómez-Jurado and my next audiobook should be a book I’ve been eager to listen to for some time now, Making It So by Patrick Stewart.

What are you up to?

Hi there, welcome to this week’s WWW Wednesday, the time where I take a moment out from doing…whatever it is that I’m doing here to talk about what I’m reading and listening to lately. I hope you’re having an okay week. Before we dive in, please indulge me for just a moment, will you? I want to try something real quick-like:

That wasn’t too bad, was it?? Eh, let’s get back to the classic way of doing this:

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading A Midnight Puzzle by Gigi Pandian . I will have probably read it for 20 minutes by the time this posts, so…I don’t have a lot to say about it yet (really looking forward to diving in, though!). I’m listening to The Best Way to Bury Your Husband by Alexia Casale, read by Ambreen Razia, Ayesha Antoine, Bea Holland and Imogen Church on audiobook. It’s described as a dark comedy–I’ve yet to get to the comedy, but man, oh, man does it have the dark covered.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Andrew Miller’s Namaste Mart Confidential, you’ve read few PI novels like this one. I also finished Veronica Ruiz Breaks the Bank by Elle Cosimano, read by Stacy Gonzalez on audio, because it became it available this weekend and I was already in a Finlay Donovan frame of mind, so I bumped it up the list before diving into my current audiobook.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be for Samurai! by Saburo Sakai with Martin Caidin and Fred Saito. My next audiobook should be You’d Look Better as a Ghost by Joanna Wallace, read by Fiona Hardingham.

How’re you doing?

(I promise, I’m going to try to catch up on the comments left lately…I think I’m missing some good stuff there)

So…this is has been a week. (as you might have noticed from the lack of new material from me) I’ve managed to make some good progress on my current read, but that’s about it. I’m not sure I have high hopes for the rest of the week when it comes to the blog, but you never know. I might surprise myself.

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading the beyond-gripping Smoke Kings by Jahmal Mayfield (with big thank you to Raven Crime Reads, otherwise I might have let this one slip by), and am listening to Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice by Elle Cosimano, read by Angela Dawe on audiobook–sillier, funnier, and more madcap than the previous books.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Deena Mohamed’s Shubeik Lubeik and Skulduggery Pleasant: The Faceless Ones Trilogy by Derek Landy, read by Rupert Degas on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be for Namaste Mart Confidential by Andrew Miller and my next audiobook should be The Best Way to Bury Your Husband by Alexia Casale, read by Ambreen Razia, Ayesha Antoine, Bea Holland and Imogen Church.

What are you into this week?

We’ve all seen the Strange Planet comic strip about reading, right? Well, that’s where I am at the moment, thanks Seanan McGuire. I’d say more, but then I wouldn’t shut up for 600 words or so.

I’m reading Aftermarket Afterlife by Seanan McGuire and Minds on Small Things: The Philosophers’ Guide to Everyday Life by Matthew Qvortrup. I’m also listening to Little Ghost by Chris McDonald, read by Robert G. Slade on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Carrie Vaughn’s Bannerless—an intense read—and Supercommunicators: How to Unlock the Secret Language of Connection by Charles Duhigg on audio. It wasn’t Duhigg’s most interesting book, but probably the easiest to apply.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be Cooked Goose by Laura Jenski, if only because it seems light, and boy howdy, do I need that. My next audiobook should be Skulduggery Pleasant: The Faceless Ones Trilogy by Derek Landy, read by Rupert Degas—I started the series ages ago (both in print and then in audio)—it’s going to stick this time. Probably.

What do you have cooking?

It’s still, Wednesday, right? Well…it is here, anyway.

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading Bannerless by Carrie Vaughn, (I cannot believe I waited 6 years to open this!) and am listening to Heaven’s River by Dennis E. Taylor, read by Ray Porter on audiobook. It’s been too long since I listened to Book 3, love getting back to this world.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished the rather fun The Tenacious Tale of Tanna the Tendersword by Dewey Conway & Bill Adams and Soul Taken by Patricia Briggs, read by Lorelei King on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be Aftermarket Afterlife by Seanan McGuire and my next audiobook should be Supercommunicators: How to Unlock the Secret Language of Connection by Charles Duhigg. I really enjoy the way Duhigg tells a story, and hopefully, I can learn from this one.

What’re you up to this week?

Well, today got away from me. Let me get this up and I’ll try again tomorrow.

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading still A Blight of Blackwings by Kevin Hearne, as with the first in the trilogy, as much as I’m enjoying the book, I need to take a break from it every now and then. but hopefully I finish it before next week’s post. I’m also listening to a very odd take on Peter Pan, Darling by K. Ancrum, read by Angel Pean, on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished a couple of very entertaining books: Olivia Blacke’s Rhythm and Clues and Dead Ground by M.W. Craven, read by John Banks on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be the ARC of The Tenacious Tale of Tanna the Tendersword by Dewey Conway & Bill Adams (soooo many ARCs lately, how am I ever going to make TBR progress?) and my next audiobook should be a quick trip to Painter’s Mill, Ohio (the most crime-ridden Amish community in the States) in A Hidden Secret by Linda Castillo, read by Kathleen McInerney .

Whatcha readin’?

Somehow, it feels like March is half over, no matter what my calendar says. Is it just me?

Eh, numbers were never my thing, anyway. Let’s talk about words.

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading A Blight of Blackwings by Kevin Hearne, a mere four years after it was released (and four months after the final book in the trilogy was published), and am listening to Moonlight Mile by Dennis Lehane, read by Jonathan Davis on audiobook, the end of my most recent Kenzie/Gennaro revisit..

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished T. L. Simpson’s Strong Like You, a dynamite debut, and The Body’s Keepers: A Social History of Kidney Failure and Its Treatments by Paul L. Kimmel, MD, read by Lane Hakel on audiobook.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be the ARC of Rhythm and Clues by Olivia Blacke (which will surely be a fun time, like the first two in the series) and my next audiobook should be Dead Ground by M.W. Craven, read by John Banks, the only novel in the series I didn’t write about yet. Hopefully, I can fix that with revisiting it.

Are your books for the beginning of March more like lions or lambs?
