Four posts on a Wednesday? I guess it’s bound to happen sometime, eh? Don’t really have time for an intro, so let’s get on with the WWW!

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?

Easy enough, right?

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading the second Retired Detectives Club novel, Death at Paradise Palms by Steph Broadribb. I’m still strolling through You Took The Last Bus Home: The Poems of Brian Bilston by Brian Bilston. I’m also listening to The Green Ember by S.D. Smith, Joel Clarkson (Narrator) on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

Earlier today, I finished Quenby Olson’s Miss Percy’s Pocket Guide (to the Care and Feeding of British Dragons), an utterly charming read. I also recently finished Profiles in Ignorance: How America’s Politicians Got Dumb and Dumber by Andy Borowitz on audio, it was odd for Borowitz to be so earnest–more of that to come.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be the ARC of Fearless by M.W. Craven (actually, it should be something I’ve agreed to read for someone else, but it’s been sitting on my shelf ignored for too long, I can’t take its plaintive cries for attention anymore) and my next audiobook should be Golden Son by Pierce Brown, Tim Gerard Reynolds (Narrator).

Are you reading anything good?

It feels like Greg Brady has hidden his Tiki Idol necklace somewhere on my person the last couple of days–work, blog, personal stuff, etc have all suffered an acute case of Murphy’s Law. Nothing major, just a whole lot of little things are ganging up on me at once (or so it seems). Hence this gets posted (and composed) 24 hours after I should’ve composed and scheduled it. And the other two things that were supposed to go up today? ummm, well…

I’m reading Miss Percy’s Pocket Guide (to the Care and Feeding of British Dragons) by Quenby Olson and You Took The Last Bus Home: The Poems of Brian Bilston by Brian Bilston. I’m also listening to The Devotion of Suspect X by Keigo Higashino, translated by Alexander O. Smith, narrated by David Pittu on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished the fun UF adventure, Annie Bellet’s Justice Calling, and Darkness, Take My Hand by Dennis Lehane, Jonathan Davis (Narrator) on audio–which was as good as I remember.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be the second Retired Detectives Club novel, Death at Paradise Palms by Steph Broadribb, and I don’t know what my next audiobook is going to be–I’ve got a few on hold at the library, we’ll see if one pops up.

So the three more days of the month that I asked for didn’t magically appear (shockingly). Well, I guess it’s still technically possible because I’m writing this Tuesday. So if this posts on February 29, 2023, I retract that statement. Also, if that is when this posts, no one’s going to be reading this post, because everyone’s going to be freaking out.

I really had another destination in mind for that paragraph, but got distracted and silly instead. Probably was only marginally interesting anyway. Let’s just move on with the WWW Wednesday.

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading and ARC of Good Dog, Bad Cop by David Rosenfelt (reliably fun as always) and am listening to the darkly comic and thoughtful The Bandit Queens by Parini Shroff, Soneela Nankani (Narrator) on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Don Winslow’s Broken, which was magnificent. Also, I can finally move Pocket Apocalypse by Seanan McGuire, Ray Porter (Narrator) on audio from the “next” to the “finished” column.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be the ARC Vera Wong’s Unsolicited Advice for Murderers by Jesse Q. Sutanto (yeah, this week is about NetGalley catch-ups) and my next audiobook should be Darkness, Take My Hand by Dennis Lehane, Jonathan Davis (Narrator). I’ve read this a handful of times and it’s brilliant, can’t wait to jump in again.

What about you?

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I could use 3 more days this month. The 28th is looming large over my February To-Do List, and my reading this week is all about checking off those boxes.

What are you currently reading?

I’m wrapping up Haven by Ceril N Domace for a Tour later this week and I’m about done with the audiobook Red Rising by Pierce Brown, Tim Gerard Reynolds (Narrator)—and wow, I’d forgotten how good this was. I mean, I remembered loving this brutal book. But…wow. Why did I wait so long to do this?

What did you recently finish reading?

The last print book I finished was Anna Strong’s Anna and the Vampire Prince. The last audiobook I finished is still Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun by Elle Cosimano, Angela Dawe (Narrator).

What do you think you’ll read next?

I had to shuffle things around so the “next” book from last week won’t be tackled for a week or so. later today, I should be Foundations by Abigail Stewart and my next audiobook should still be Pocket Apocalypse by Seanan McGuire, Ray Porter (Narrator).

How are you ending the month?

I have not been able to finish a draft of anything this week, and it’s getting on my nerves. So, before I go guzzle a couple of gallons of inspiration (read: coffee), let’s take care of this week’s WWW.

What are you currently reading?

Later today, I’m going to start reading Vampire Weekend by Mike Chen and I’m listening to Red Rising by Pierce Brown, Tim Gerard Reynolds (Narrator) on audiobook. The last book in the saga comes out this summer, and I’m getting excited about it—but I know myself well enough that I won’t take the time to re-read the books and have all these libro.fm credits laying around…

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished K.R.R. Lockhaven’s The Foundling, the Heist, and the Volcano. Lockhaven just keeps getting better. I also just finished Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun by Elle Cosimano, Angela Dawe on audio, Cosimano is leaning into the comedy more and I think I like it.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be Miss Percy’s Pocket Guide (to the Care and Feeding of British Dragons) by Quenby Olson , which seemingly everyone I know on Twitter has told me to read. My next audiobook should be Pocket Apocalypse by Seanan McGuire, Ray Porter (Narrator)—I’m going to need the brightness of the InCryptid series after the brutality of Red Rising.

What about you?
