I’ve been on a roll lately–or so it seems–lotta good books, mostly that I’ve put off reading for too long (well, one was because of a massive line at the library, but I still feel like I put it off). Here’s hoping the streak continues.

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?


The Silver Chair by C.S. Lewis	Ghost Story by Jim Butcher, read by James Marsters

I’ll be starting The Silver Chair here in a bit. I’m not sure what else to say. Good times and Puddleglum await (even good times with Puddleglum, as odd as that sounds to say)

Ghost Story is my least-favorite of the Dresden Files–but each time I read/listen to it, it grows on me. Who knows? By the end of the week, I might be dropping the “pretty” from my short eval and just call it “good.”

What did you recently finish reading?


Strange Practice by Vivian Shaw	Too Old For This by Samantha Downing, read by Elizabeth Wiley

Strange Practice is this great UF hybrid of McGuire’s Incryptid series and Carriger’s Parasol Protectorate with far less snark and innuendo. That’s not a great way to describe it, but it’s the best that I can do. It’s a lot of fun with a bunch of heart.

I’m still chewing on Downing’s latest–but in short, I’m glad I read it and will be recommending it.

What do you think you’ll read next?


Everyone This Christmas Has a Secret by ABenjamin Stevenson	Iron Lake by William Kent Krueger, read by David Chandler

The length of Stevenson’s third book (190ish pages) is one of the big selling points, I wondered a little bit that the second book was stretching things. A compressed tale could help a lot.

I had Iron Lake in this spot a few weeks back, but the download got corrupted and I had to delete it and then re-check it out. So…let’s try this again: I’ve been assured that I’ll enjoy Krueger’s Cork O’Connor books, and that lighter fare than his others. (not that I have a problem with his others, but I’m not going to listen to them while working/driving). Am used to David Chandler’s voice, his work on the Joe Pickett books is solid. Should be a good time.

How’re things going for you? Read anything good lately?

I’ve once again been taught the lesson that I’m not in my early 20s anymore (you’d think the two grandchildren and that all of my children have reached 21 would teach men that…). I went to the theater last night for a 4 hour and 40 minute movie and thought I could accomplish things when I got home.

So anyway…this is running late 🙂

Odds ‘n ends about books and reading that caught my eye this week. You’ve probably seen some/most/all of them, but just in case:
bullet South Korea’s Experiment in AI Textbooks Ends in Disaster—I’m shocked–shocked!–I tell you.
bullet Autism is not a genre—this is good enough as it is–but you can fill many, many things in that title for “Autism,” and make it so much better.
bullet What Keeps You Reading?—Molly Templeton talks about the difference becoming a reader and staying a reader.
bullet 3 things readers need to STOP doing—some good thoughts, fun video–but don’t expect me to follow in lockstep.
bullet How to Get the Most out of Your Time on BookSky—I need to work on this if I’m ever going to break away from that one site like I want to.
bullet The Indie Author Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Horror New Release List: December 2025—I keep intending on sharing AJ’s monthly posts, and think I succeed 1-2 times a year. Shame on me.
bullet Another Batch of the Best of 2025
bullet The 10 Best Books of 2025: According to Slate’s book critic.—I’ve heard of few of these. Slate and I do not share algorithms.
bullet Crimereads: The Best Books of 2025: Crime Fiction, Mysteries, and Thrillers—on the other hand, I’ve heard about most of these, read a couple (and have got some new TBR entries)
bullet Scientific American’s Best Nonfiction of 2025—their first such list, and it looks great!
bullet AudioFile’s Best Audiobooks of 2025
bullet Find out the New York Time’s Best Books of 2025!—Books of Brilliance was nice enough to provide the list without having to get through a paywall.
bullet Best of 2025 reads—from reader@work
bullet It’s also the time of year for Gift Guides, like these:
bullet The 2025 Whatever Holiday Gift Guide, Day Two: Non-Traditional Books—The rest of Scalzi’s Holiday Gift Guides are worth your time, but this is my favorite
bullet It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas: The 2025 Adult Books Edition—from our pal, Jodie at Witty & Sarcastic Book Club
bullet Books as Gifts 2025—from another pal, Carol, at Reading Ladies Book Club
bullet More Bookish Gift Ideas… What to Get Your Favourite Bookworm—The Organgutan Librarian has some good ideas, too.
bullet Feeling less-than-good about how much you’ve read this year? This video should help

A Book-ish Related Podcast episode (or two) you might want to give a listen to:

bullet Dear Mr. You by Mary-Louise Parker
bullet Indexing: Reflections, Episode Nine: Feline Cobbling by Seanan McGuire
bullet Rules for a Knight by Ethan Hawke
bullet Girl Waits with Gun by Amy Stewart
bullet Unseemly Science by Rod Duncan
bullet I talked about the release of the updated version of The Revolution was Televised by Alan Sepinwall (one of the best books on TV you’ll ever read)

This Week’s New Releases that I’m Excited About and/or You’ll Probably See Here Soon:
bullet Everybody Wants to Rule the World by Ace Atkins—You’ve gotta read the whole blurb at the link there, but let this whet your appetite: “Elmore Leonard meets Robert Ludlum in a rollicking comedic thriller set in 1985 from acclaimed author Ace Atkins, in which a suburban teen suspects his mom’s new boyfriend is the ultimate bad guy—a KGB agent.”
bullet Only Way Out by Tod Goldberg—”A luckless thief’s wrong turn becomes a crooked cop’s fortune in a wild ride of a thriller”

I’m not going to finish off all my reading challenges for the year, I know. But two of them will be complete when I read the books mentioned here. So that’s something.

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.

Seems easy enough, right? Let’s take a peek at this week’s answers:

What are you currently reading?


How to Become the Dark Lord and Die Trying by Django Wexler	Changes by Jim Butcher, read by James Marsters

I’ve only heard good things about Wexler’s book. I’ve only dipped a toe in, but what I’ve read so far makes me want to go on.

Changes is just one of those books that blew me away when I read it the first time. And it’s gotten better in each subsequent read. This time (2nd time in audio, and maybe 6th time overall) is no different.

What did you recently finish reading?


The Voyage of the Dawn Treader by C.S. Lewis	What If…Kitty Pryde Stole the Phoenix Force?

I’ll gush about the Lewis book in a day or two. Like Changes, I got something new out of it this time, I can’t even guess how many times I’ve read this one.

This What If… book didn’t really click with me until the last 30% or so, but that last bit made up for the rest.

What do you think you’ll read next?


Strange Practice by Vivian Shaw	The Faithful Executioner: Life and Death, Honor and Shame in the Turbulent Sixteenth Century by Joel F. Harrington, read by Jame Gillies

Strange Practice was added to my TBR because I walked into a bookstore with money to spend, and all the books I wanted weren’t in stock. So, the helpful bookseller put it in my hand. A year later, here I am, ready to open it.

I’ve had two friends raving over The Faithful Executioner lately (I posted a small bit of that raving a couple of weeks back). I assume I’ll be raving soon.

How’s December looking for you? Any last-minute things you just have to get read?

End of the Year Book Tag ’25

End of the Year Book Tag '25
This was created by Ariel at Books Unbound, and according to Biblio Nerd Reflections, you can find the latest version on their podcast: https://www.booksunboundpodcast.com/. I did this tag back in 2019, 2022, and 2023, then completely forgot about it until I saw it at Biblio Nerd Reflections last week.

Are there any books you started this year that you need to finish?


Wisdom for Life: 52 Old Testament Meditations by Michael P V Barrett	Commentary on the Heidelberg Catechism by Zacharias Ursinus	Precious Remedies Against Satan’s Devices by Thomas Brooks

There are my three “project reads,” that I’m scheduled to finish—and then any that I start between now and then I’ve got a couple of reading challenge books, but not much. Really, it’s just finishing what I start.

(and being strategic about what I start) 😊

Do you have an autumnal book to transition into the end of the year?

I don’t think of books seasonally—I definitely don’t have an annual book for this kind of thing. I think Callus and Crow served well that way. You’ve got creepy vampires, an autumnal atmosphere. Something Wicked This Way Comes did, too.


Callus & Crow by D. B. Rook	Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury

Is there a new release you’re still waiting for?


	Everybody Wants to Rule the World by Ace Atkins

Ace Atkins’ Everybody Wants to Rule the World looks so good, and is apparently “hilarious” (according to Robert Crais, anyway). I don’t think there’s anything else I’m waiting for—I could be wrong, but I think I’m done with big ones for the year—which is good, because I’ve already started collecting them for next year.

What are three books you want to read before the end of the year?


How to Become the Dark Lord and Die Trying by Django Wexler	Strange Practice by Vivian Shaw	Till We Have Faces by C.S. Lewis

Well, there’s the Holiday TBR from last week (I’ve read two of them). But I’ve already talked about them, so let’s go with these.

Is there a book you think that could still shock you and become your favorite book of the year?

Probably—almost anything that I start now. The Atkins or Lewis books I mentioned above are possible. Especially a book that I end up reading in the next month or so that I haven’t thought about until now. I don’t have any I could predict—but I’m prepared to be surprised. I will say, they’d have to be fantastic, ‘cuz I’ve read some spectacular books this year.

Have you already started making reading plans for 2026?

Yes, I have started making plans. They’re very much scaled-back compared to the last couple of years. My goals are to focus on whimsy, impulse (irresponsibly so), and attacking books I own. Raven Crime Reads spent 2025 focusing on “Reading like No One’s Watching.” I think I want to try to do that, too.

Another way to think about 2026 for me is Butcher’s Twelve Months, Pierce Brown’s Red God, and a bunch of other things TBD that really don’t matter as much.

As usual, I’m not tagging anyone in this—but I’d like to see what you all have to come up with.

bullet Napoleon’s Kindle: See the Miniaturized Traveling Library He Took on Military Campaigns—Ooooh! I want one! I want one! Sure my tablet is a technological marvel that I could’ve only dreamed about as a kid, but…come on. This is just cool. (yes, Samuel T. Cogley, is possibly my favorite ST:TOS character)
bullet The best mystery novels of 2025—I learned ages ago that when Oline Cogdill speaks, I should listen
bullet Does Rating a Lot of Books Low Mean You’re “Bad at Choosing Books?”—With all due respect to Pages Unbound, this is a stupid question. But if you’re going to answer one of those, this is a good way to approach it.
bullet Captivating Characters of November—I’m enjoying these posts…I just need to contribute 🙂
bullet It is that time of year:
bullet Manga Gift Suggestions—from the Firsty Duelist via Wity and Sarcastic Book Club
bullet 2025 Holiday Gift Giving Guide—from This Dad Reads (so you know it will be a little heavy on a particular fandom based in a galaxy far, far away)

bullet Where’d You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple—note to self: read this again
bullet The Rosie Effect by Graeme Simsion
bullet Funny Girl by Nick Hornby
bullet The Burning Room by Michael Connelly
bullet Hit by Delilah S. Dawson—I’m glad Dawson put this out a decade ago, it was harrowing then. Updating it to fit 2025 would be…well, I dunno, “worse” seems obvious and not stark enough.
bullet Indexing: Reflections, Episode Eight: Holly Tree by Seanan McGuire
bullet And I mentioned the releases of: Luke Skywalker Can’t Read by Ryan Britt; Thing Explainer: Complicated Stuff in Simple Words by Randall Munroe; and Santa 365 by Spencer Quinn

This Week’s New Releases that I’m Excited About and/or You’ll Probably See Here Soon:
bullet Robert B. Parker’s Showdown by Mike Lupica—”Spenser may have uncovered an explosive secret that threatens the career of a controversial figure” (which is mostly correct). I enjoyed it, and have a post drafted for Monday about it.
bullet Queen of the Dead by Sarah Broadway—”Speaking with the dead is nothing new for Lou. It’s a curse she’s learned to hide from everyone – sometimes even herself. After running away from a past that took advantage of those abilities, Lou finally carves out a normal life for herself. That is, until she receives a mysterious message from a ghost – the Veil is thinning – and a cult of necromancers infiltrates her small town.””

What are you currently reading?


The Impossible Fortune by Richard Osman	Batman: Resurrection by John Jackson Miller, read by Will Damron

My library hold finally came up! It ruined my plans for the week, but I don’t care. I’m not crazy about Osman’s writing of Ibrahim in this book–he’s just a little off. But the rest of it is just what we all needed. Joanna has an expanded role, and we meet another of Elizabeth’s old colleagues who is just great. And I’m going to keep going for a few paragraphs unless I cut myself off.

I’m not really “into” this sequel to Burton’s movie–but I think that’s going to change soon (of course, I’ve been saying that every 10 minutes).

What did you recently finish reading?


Prince Caspian by C.S. Lewis	Future Boy: Back to the Future and My Journey Through the Space-Time Continuum by Michael J. Fox & Nelle Fortenberry

The climactic scene wasn’t quite as good as I remember–but the book was just like coming home after a long trip. Just so comfortable.

This book was just cool, we get a little about Family Ties (could’ve used a bit more, but it wasn’t the focus of the book), we get plenty about Back to the Future (which is the focus) and Fox’s experience at this strange time in his life. The Epilogue was fantastic. I just like Michael J. Fox, I guess.

What do you think you’ll read next?


Robert B. Parker’s Showdown by Mike Lupica	What If…Kitty Pryde Stole the Phoenix Force? by Rebecca Podos

Lupica’s Spenser novels have been the best he’s done in the Parker-verse, eager for this one.

Kitty Pryde and Phoenix force? ‘Nuff said. (which is what I said a couple of weeks ago before Libby hit me with a handful of holds and I had to push it off)

So, what are you smuggling into your family gathering tomorrow so you have something to retreat into? (or, for non-USAers, are you reading anything good?)

bullet Violet Thistlewaite Is Not a Villain Anymore by Emily Krempholtz—”Guy Shadowfade is dead, and after a lifetime as the dark sorcerer’s right-hand, Violet Thistlewaite is determined to start over—not as the fearsome Thornwitch, but as someone kind. Someone better. Someone good.” Looks cute.

A Judgement of Powers by Benedict Jacka	Turn Coat by Jim Butcher, read by James Marsters

Jacka’s new series keeps going in places and directions I don’t expect. I’m eager to see how he confounds me this time.

I remember Turn Coat having one of the more powerful endings in the Dresden Files (nothing compared to a few others, but still). I’m steeling myself already.

What did you recently finish reading?


The Last Colony by John Scalzi	The Greatest Possible Good by Ben Brooks, read by Emma Gregory

The Last Colony is yet another of those books that I intended to read years ago (since 2011, according to Goodreads). I am so angry at myself for wasting all that time not being able to re-read it.

I’m honestly not sure what Brooks was going for in his book. There were some interesting bits, some decent writing, and solid characters–but I need to think a little more about it to know if it was worth it.

What do you think you’ll read next?


Prince Caspian by C.S. Lewis	Future Boy: Back to the Future and My Journey Through the Space-Time Continuum by Michael J. Fox & Nelle Fortenberry

Caspian might be my favorite Narnian book, so this is going to be fun.

Speaking of fun, Fox (and Fortenberry) writing about that strange period in his life when he was shooting Back to the Future and Family Ties and then narrating it? Sure thing.

How’ve you been sourcing your dopamine lately?

I really thought I had a long list for today, but…not so much. I do have an eclectic one, however. And that makes me just as happy. Hopefully there’s something here that strikes your fancy. (and if not, come back in 7 days)

Odds ‘n ends about books and reading that caught my eye this week. You’ve probably seen some/most/all of them, but just in case:
bullet Steve Hofstetter recently gave a speech to the American Association of School Librarians that’s worth your time (in my non-humble opinion). He was nice enough to provide both the full video and the text version.
bullet Bones & Betrayals: A Chat with Andi Ewington, Erica Marks and Calum Alexander Watt—loved this.
bullet Caffinated Reader’s 13th Annual Ho-Ho-Ho Readathon Sign-up—may intrigue some of you
bullet Eileen Mueller and several other fantasy authors have a dynamite-looking giveaway up: November 2025 Win Deluxe Edition Epic Fantasy Books Giveaway—(and yes, you entering via that link gets me more entries, so, you know…help a guy out)
bullet EVEN MORE Unusual and Riveting Retellings!—The Orangutan Librarian has tempted me to take the rest of the month off to work through this list
bullet I Have An Agent—I know there’s a long gap from this to us getting to hold a Peat Long tome in our hands, but this is a great step.

A Book-ish Related Podcast episode (or two) you might want to give a listen to:
bullet Crime Writers of Canada Joel Nedecky, The Broken Detective—I enjoyed it, you might to. Also, let me remind you to read The Broken Detective

To help talk about backlist titles (and just for fun), What Was I Talking About 10 Years Ago This Week?
bullet Indexing: Reflections, Episode Seven: False Love’s Kiss by Seanan McGuire
bullet X by Sue Grafton
bullet The Sword of Summer by Rick Riordan
bullet Never Tell by Alafair Burke
bullet And I mentioned the releases of: The Promise by Robert Crais; Winter by Marissa Meyer; Rules for a Knight by Ethan Hawke; Dear Mr. You by Mary-Louise Parker; Home by Matt Dunn; Mad Men Carousel: The Complete Critical Companion by Matt Zoller Seitz

This Week’s New Releases that I’m Excited About and/or You’ll Probably See Here Soon:
bullet Brigands & Breadknives by Travis Baldree—by far the least cozy of the series, but fans won’t mind. Greatest breadknife in literary history. I finished this yesterday and relished every second of it.
bullet Guns Of Brixton by Paul D. Brazill—Fahrenheit Press has this great looking book out in it’s Pocket Noir series (I need to do a separate post just about that series one day). How do you turn down “a hard-boiled black comedy packed with crooked cops, washed-up crooks, and the kind of dialogue that snaps like a switchblade.” in an attractive package? (I sure don’t)
bullet There Is No Antimemetics Division by qntm—”Humanity is under assault by malevolent ‘antimemes’—ideas that attack memory, identity, and the fabric of reality itself—in this whip-smart tale of science-fiction horror, an entirely reimagined and expanded version of the beloved online novel.”

That lack of an “s” on “BOOK” is really going to drive me nuts

The World Entire by Jo Perry	Songs for Other People’s Weddings by David Levithan with songs by Jens Lekman, read by Jefferson Mays

A year-and-a-half late on The World Entire, which has bugged me all along. Now that I’m almost halfway in and can say with a degree of certainty that this is Jo Perry’s best work to date, it really annoys me that I let this slip through the cracks repeatedly. It’s just excellent on several levels–and probably more than I’ve seen yet.

Levithan’s latest is wonderful–flawed, but wonderful. I’m finishing it today (and not just because Libby is taking it away this evening).

What did you recently finish reading?


The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis	Small Favor by Jim Butcher, read by James Marsters

I’m a few months behind schedule on my Chronicles of Narnia read, but revisiting this first volume was just as good as expected. And yes, I’m reading them in the (correct) order by publication.

Thanks to a wonky work schedule, Small Favor is still my last audiobook (that’ll hopefully change later today)

What do you think you’ll read next?


And to All a Good Bite by David Rosenfelt	The Greatest Possible Good by Ben Brooks, read by Emma Gregory

There are few pleasures more certain than an Andy Carpenter book.

As it is wont to do, Libby dropped a bunch of audiobooks on me last week, so I had to derail my planned next book. This one looks promising, and like it should tick a lot of boxes. Looking forward to diving in.
