It’s time for WWW Wednesday already? I think I said something like this a couple of weeks ago, but the third 3-day weekend in 6 weeks is really messing with me. I’m glad we get a couple of months without one. I don’t remember being this discombobulated by an extra day off as I have with the last two. Okay then, let’s get this taken care of, try to get me on some more solid footing.

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 Botanist by M.W. Craven (and am having a really hard time putting it down) and I just started listening to My Mess Is a Bit of a Life: Adventures in Anxiety by Georgia Pritchett, Katherine Parkinson (Narrator) on audiobook. Yeah, last week, I said it was going to be my next one—but between the holiday and the way that Harry Dresden trumps anything else for me…

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished A World Without “Whom”: The Essential Guide to Language in the BuzzFeed Age by Emmy J. Favilla—which was amusing, educational, and (for some) provocative. Yesterday, I listened to the new Dresden Files novella The Law by Jim Butcher on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be the collection Short Tails by Spencer Quinn and my next audiobook should be Long Lost by Linda Castillo, Kathleen McInerney (Narrator), another novella. I seem to be hitting some quick reads at the moment (maybe my brain is making up for the week it took me to get through Don Winslow)

Tell me what you’re reading!

Here we are, knocking at the end of June, preparing for that wonderful time of the year where it seems like half of the people in my subdivision are trying to terrify my dogs into moving to Canada. Why don’t we commemorate it with a WWW Wednesday? My current book is taking a lot out of me–and it’s cutting into my audiobook time, so I’m not making a lot of progress with those, either. I’m not complaining (much), because it’s such a good book–but man, it’s taking a lot out of me.

What are you currently reading?

I’m making slow and steady progress through the monumental The Border by Don Winslow. I’m listening to Songbird by Peter Grainger, Gildart Jackon (Narrator) on audiobook, it’s a spin-off or sequel or continuation or…something to the DC Smith series and it’s very strange listening to this next phase with these characters (good! but strange).

What did you recently finish reading?

I most recently finished Lee Goldberg’s Movieland and Daughter of the Morning Star by Craig Johnson, George Guidall (Narrator) on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be A World Without “Whom”: The Essential Guide to Language in the BuzzFeed Age by Emmy J. Favilla and my next audiobook should be My Mess Is a Bit of a Life: Adventures in Anxiety by Georgia Pritchett, Katherine Parkinson (Narrator) (I largely checked this out for the title).

What about you?

I’m very glad that the U.S. is now celebrating Juneteenth, but I tell you what, that day off is messing with me. I did manage to get some good reading in over the weekend, but still feel like I’m out of sync with reality. Anyway, let’s tackle this WWW Wednesday, and see if that helps calibrate my mind.*

*Narrator: It won’t.

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading Movieland by Lee Goldberg—it’s so good to be back in Eve Ronin’s world—and I’m wrapping up Amari and the Night Brothers by B. B. Alston, Imani Parks (Narrator) on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished David Rosenfelt’s predictably fun Holy Chow, K.B. Jensen’s very strange Love and Other Monsters in the Dark, and We Are Legion (We Are Bob) by Dennis E. Taylor, Ray Porter (Narrator) on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

Two of my most anticipated 2022 releases arrived at my house yesterday (The Botanist by M.W. Craven and The Self-Made Widow by Fabian Nicieza), and I’m beyond tempted to throw out my carefully (for me) constructed plan and dive into them. I’m pretty sure I won’t do that, but you never know. My next book should be The Border by Don Winslow, it’s been a week and a half since I read a paper book—that’ll be a nice change—even if this thing is intimidating. My next audiobook should be a quick return trip to Daughter of the Morning Star by Craig Johnson, George Guidall (Narrator).

What are you reading here in the first few (official) days of Summer?

I don’t have the vim, much less the vigor, to come up with an introduction, let’s move on with the WWW Wednesday!

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading the first in a SF trilogy, Against All Odds by Jeffrey H. Haskell, and the short story collection, Love and Other Monsters in the Dark by K.B. Jensen. I’m listening to We Are Legion (We Are Bob) by Dennis E. Taylor, Ray Porter (Narrator) on audiobook–it’s a blast and Ray Porter is a great narrator.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished the procedural Payback by R.C. Bridgestock and the novella Deep Hole by Don Winslow, Ed Harris (Narrator) on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be A Wash of Black by Chris McDonald and my next audiobook should be Amari and the Night Brothers by B. B. Alston, Imani Parks (Narrator)–I really could use its sense of fun and hope.

And you?
