Here on the Eve of Gluttony Day (or whatever we’re calling it this year), I’m going to take a moment and see to this week’s WWW Wednesday.

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 Dead Lions by Mick Herron (and spending a good deal of time berating myself for putting this off for so long) and am listening to The Mutual Friend by Carter Bays, George Newbern (Narrator) on audiobook (and am wondering if it’s worth the time).

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Darynda Jones’ A Hard Day for a Hangover—which is as fun as its predecessors—and Druid Vices and a Vodka by Annette Marie, Cris Dukehart (Narrator) on audio—and that ending really surprised me.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be Wistful Ascending by JCM Berne for a tour next week and my next audiobook should be The World Record Book of Racist Stories by Amber Ruffin & Lacey Lamar to raise my blood pressure (and give me a few chuckles).

Are you especially thankful for any reads this week? (or are you suffering through a turkey?)

We’ve reached the midway point for the week, and it’s about time that I actually produce something. Let’s start with this week’s WWW Wednesday and see if I can manage anything else.

What are you currently reading?

I’m having a blast with Theft of Swords by Michael J. Sullivan and I’m listening to Missing Pieces by Peter Grainger, Gildart Jackson (Narrator) on audiobook. I’m a little worried about what I’m going to do now that I’m a couple of hours short of being totally caught up on this series. I guess it’s about time to start it again.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Michael Connelly’s Desert Star (hopefully you’ll read my take on it later today) and All These Worlds by Dennis E. Taylor, Ray Porter (Narrator) on audio—this series keeps getting better..

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be A Hard Day for a Hangover by Darynda Jones and my next audiobook should be Druid Vices and a Vodka by Annette Marie, Cris Dukehart (Narrator).

What about you?

While all of us in the U.S. are celebrating or grousing (or a little of each) about the election results (and you’re formally invited to not comment on them below), I’m going to take a quick break to tackle today’s WWW Wednesday!

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading the ARC for NYPD Red 7: The Murder Sorority by Marshall Karp (an actual paper ARC, it’s been ages since I got my hands on one of those) and I’m listening to All These Worlds by Dennis E. Taylor, Ray Porter (Narrator) on audiobook, I’ve barely scratched the surface and Taylor has already upped the stakes more than I expected.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Andrew Sean Greer’s Less and Screwed by Eoin Colfer, John Keating (Narrator) on audio. I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve listened to and read two books with such divergent feels simultaneously.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be Desert Star by Michael Connelly and my next audiobook should be Missing Pieces by Peter Grainger, Gildart Jackson (Narrator) it’d be easy to draw a lot of parallels between these series at this point in their runs, but I know the voices are so different, that I’m not worried about them being too similar.

Have you been reading anything interesting lately?

So life interfered last week and I’ve had to skip two books on my schedule so I can meet some commitments. I’m not sure when I’m going to be able to double back and get those I skipped, either. I tell ya, I should just retire early and do this full-time. The only thing that stands in my way are trivialities like my need for food, shelter, an Internet connection, and the ability to buy books.

While I put together the inevitable gofundme drive, why don’t we try this WWW Wednesday?

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading Kestrel’s Dance by Misty Massey for some high seas adventure and am listening to Discount Armageddon by Seanan McGuire, Emily Bauer (Narrator) on audiobook—I’d really forgotten how fun Verity can be.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished James Brayken’s The Veiled Edge of Contact—look for a Q&A with the author soon (shortly after I whittle down the 3 dozen things I want to ask him). I also just wrapped up Poltergeist by Kat Richardson, Mia Barron (Narrator) on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should either be Gardens by Benedict Jacka or Terry’s Crew by Terry Crews and Cory Thomas (it depends on how long Kestrel’s Dance takes me). My next audiobook should be Screwed by Eoin Colfer, John Keating (Narrator).

What about you?

For the second week in a row, I find myself spinning my wheels and staring at blank screens when it comes time to work on posts here. It’s starting to get to me. Hopefully by the time this posts, that sentence will be out-of-date, but I’m not counting on it. I’ve been reading and listening to plenty of things to give me material to write about, as you can see in this WWW Wednesday!

I just finished Julian Barnes’ The Sense of an Ending—and will be chewing on it for some time—and The Vexed Generation by Scott Meyer, Luke Daniels (Narrator) on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be the second Frost Files installment, Random Sh*t Flying Through the Air by Jackson Ford, (a few years too late for my taste) and my next audiobook should be the second Greywalker novel, Poltergeist by Kat Richardson, Mia Barron (Narrator).

How are you coasting into November?
