Oh, wow. Coming back from vacation has convinced me that I need another one. I’m behind on everything–personal stuff, work, the blog, exercise, and more…for this to be the first thing I composed/assembled since before I left? That’s just not good.

Still, good to be back, putting out mostly new things–nothing scheduled in advance, we’re live again.

Hope you all enjoyed the series from the last week and a half! Let’s dive into this week’s 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’m still re-reading The Aeronaut’s Windlass by Jim Butcher, and am listening to But Have You Read the Book?: 52 Literary Gems That Inspired Our Favorite Films by Kristen Lopez, Tanis Parenteau (Narrator) on audiobook. Which may have been better to read on paper.

What did you recently finish reading?

I got a little bit of reading in last week, so this answer will be a bit fuller than normal. I recently finished Evidence Pool by Ian Robinson, Evil Embers by Cristelle Comby, The Ostler by Susan Grossey, Partial Function by JCM Berne, Love Stories by Robert Germaux, That Old Cloak and Dagger Routine by Anne Louise Bannon, Death on the Beach by Steph Broadribb, Winter’s Gift by Ben Aaronovitch, and Blood Runs Cold by Neil Lancaster. I enjoyed them all, and wish I’d read all of them earlier (including the one that has yet to be published). In some cases years earlier.

The last audiobook I finished was the utterly delightful and silly The Third Eye by Felicia Day, Narrated by a full cast including: Sean Astin, Felicia Day, Neil Gaiman, LilyPichu, London Hughes, and Wil Wheaton.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be a little change of pace for me, Healed by Carrie Alani and my next audiobook should be How I Won a Nobel Prize by Julius Taranto, Lauren Fortgang (Narrator). I’m also not sure that this is something that’ll work on audio for me, but I’ll give it a whirl.

What’ve you been reading lately?

My energy levels aren’t what they need to be this week–and I’ve got some personal stuff going on, so I’m not getting much done here on the ol’ blog. But next week is going to be a lot of fun here! This that little teaser, why don’t we get to this week’s WWW?

What are you currently reading?

I’m re-reading The Aeronaut’s Windlass by Jim Butcher, and am listening to Endangered by C.J. Box, David Chandler (Narrator) on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Preeti Chhibber’s Spider-Man’s Bad Connection, a fun sequel, and Summer Hours at the Robbers Library by Sue Halpern, Narrated by Josh Bloomberg, Dara Rosenberg, and Allyson Ryan on audio, a book that’s hard to describe but has a lot of charm.

What do you think you’ll read next?

I don’t know what my next book is going to be–I’ll be headed out on vacation before I finish The Aeronaut’s Windlass (probably), and will see what books I decide to dive into while I’m gone. My next audiobook should be The Third Eye by Felicia Day, Narrated by a full cast including: Sean Astin, Felicia Day, Neil Gaiman, LilyPichu, London Hughes, and Wil Wheaton. That’s probably too many cooks in the kitchen, but I’ve gotta give it a try.

What are you reading?

While I know that “Thirty Days hath September,” when Celeste posted her end-of-month On My Radar yesterday, I had a moment of minor panic. I might forego sleep for the next few days to tick a couple more things off of my to-do list (although, “catch up on sleep” and “enjoy a nice nap” are on that list)

I think I had a more amusing idea when I started that paragraph, but got lost along the way. I hate when that happens. So pretend I was funny there and we’ll move on to the WWW Wednesday, okay?

What are you currently reading?

I just started Bone Carnival by Megan Lynch, and I’m listening to Once Upon a Tome by Oliver Darkshire on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Benedict Jacka’s An Inheritance of Magic, the first book in my new favorite Urban Fantasy series, and the creepy fairy tale, Thornhedge by T. Kingfisher, Jennifer Blom (Narrator) on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be the much-anticipated The Last Devil to Die by Richard Osman and my next audiobook should be Summer Hours at the Robbers Library by Sue Halpern, Narrated by Josh Bloomberg, Dara Rosenberg, and Allyson Ryan. I’m apparently in a books about books mood.

What books are you ending September with?

HOW IS IT ALREADY SEPTEMBER 20?!?!

I mean…hey, it’s Wednesday! Why don’t we do a quick WWW to talk about what I’ve been reading and listening to?

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading Godzilla and Godzilla Raids Again by Shigeru Kayama, translated by Jeffrey Angles, and am listening to satire-filled How to Stay Productive When the World Is Ending: Productivity, Burnout, and Why Everyone Needs to Relax More Except You by Reductress, Narrated by Mara Wilson & Jay Aaseng.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished J.M. Gulmire’s Kay-9 The Robot Dog—a cute little read—and Charlotte Illes Is Not a Detective by Katie Siegel on audiobook—think a version of Sara Gran’s Claire Dewitt series that leans into the humor of the premise.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be an early dip into Yuletide with ‘Twas the Bite Before Christmas by David Rosenfelt. My next audiobook should be Nasty, Brutish, and Short: Adventures in Philosophy with My Kids by Scott Hershovitz. I’m hoping it’ll be on a level I can understand.

What about you? What are you reading?
