It’s June 1, and what better way to step into the month than with a WWW Wednesday? These posts are me at my most organized and structured, and it feels really nice to be that way on June 1. A feeling that will last until…maybe 9 pm?

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 coming-of-age novel, Dirt Road Home by Alexander Nader, and I’m listening to Attachments by Rainbow Rowell, Rebecca Lowman (Narrator) on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Joanne Jackson’s A Snake in the Raspberry Patch, a tale of small-town Canadian crime. I also just finished the third faux-True Crime, A Line to Kill by Anthony Horowitz, Rory Kinnear (Narrator) on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be Crazy in Poughkeepsie by Daniel Pinkwater, which promises to be a burst of oddness and light, and my next audiobook should be Gated Prey by Lee Goldberg, Nicol Zanzarella (Narrator).

How are you kicking off the Summer?

Arthur Dent could never get the hang of Thursdays, and I can relate. But it’s Wednesday, so I’m going to put my towel down for a minute to put together this WWW Wednesday. Kick back, relax, grab a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster, and enjoy.

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading Jacked: An Anthology of Crime Fiction edited by Vern Smith and In a House of Lies by Ian Rankin. I’m currently listening to (when I’m not pausing to laugh at) Black Nerd Problems by William Evans & Omar Holmon on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Eli Cranor’s devastatingly good Don’t Know Tough and Magic Kingdom for Sale–Sold! by Terry Brooks, Jeremy Arthur (Narrator) on audio—which was a nice stroll down memory lane.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be A Snake in the Raspberry Patch by Joanne Jackson (I was supposed to read it a month ago). I’m looking forward to my audiobook, A Line to Kill by Anthony Horowitz, Rory Kinnear (Narrator).

Hey, you hoopy froods, what are you reading?

As I sat down to write posts for today last night, I kept getting distracted by Primary Election results—in Idaho, for good or ill, the Republican Primary election is more important than the General Election in November—state races are all but certain after it. So for every half-sentence I write, I end up spending 5 minutes looking at numbers—who knows what I’ll get written for today. At the very least, I cobbled together a WWW Wednesday.

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading the fantasy novel The Traitor’s Heir by Anna Thayer and am listening to the very amusing This Is Going to Hurt: Secret Diaries of a Young Doctor by Adam Kay on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

I grabbed the wrong book off the shelf last week, so the last book I finished was J.C. Jackson’s Conjured Defense and yesterday I finished Nothing to See Here by Kevin Wilson, Marin Ireland (Narrator) on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be the UF short story collection, Heroic Hearts edited by Jim Butcher and Kerrie Hughes, and my next audiobook should be Magic Kingdom for Sale–Sold! by Terry Brooks, Jeremy Arthur (Narrator). I read that a few dozen times in the last century, and figured it was time to revisit.

Hopefully, you’re not as distracted as I am (unless you want to be)—what are you reading?

It’s the middle of the week, the day where I figure out just where I am and what I’m doing next and tell you about it. It’s a good exercise and for at least 15 minutes I feel like I have a handle on things. It’s a little thing I like to call WWW Wednesday! (I like to call it that because that’s its name, I’m funny that way)

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading the fourth Bree Taggert novel, Right Behind Her by Melinda Leigh, and I’m listening to the disturbing Limelight by Carl Goodman, Louise Brealey (Narrator) on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

Yesterday, I finished Mike Lupica’s Robert B. Parker’s Revenge Tour, which was more than I hoped, and Funny Farm: My Unexpected Life with 600 Rescue Animals by Laurie Zaleski, Erin Moon (Narrator) on audio, which was not at all what I expected.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be The Traitor’s Heir by Anna Thayer, for that 12 Books Challenge. My next audiobook should be Nothing to See Here by Kevin Wilson, Marin Ireland (Narrator), something I’ve been thinking about for a while.

And what about you?

It’s a special Star Wars Day edition of WWW Wednesday! Well, okay, it’s not—I couldn’t come up with enough puns/riffs based on Star Wars to justify it, but everything else today has Star Wars plastered all over it, I had to go along, right?

At work this week, there’s stuff going on preventing me from listening to audiobooks—I’m glad to be occupied, but I’m really enjoying my current listen and am frustrated that it’s taking so long to find out what’s going to happen. The last 3 books I’ve read have taken 1-2 days longer than I expected, too (well, except the novella, which only took 30 more minutes than expected, still…). Not a big deal, but it feels like I’m behind on things—due to an imaginary self-imposed schedule. It’s stupid, but that’s where my mind is the last two weeks. Anyone else ever feel that way?

Enough therapy, on with the very non-Star Warsy WWW Wednesday.

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading the very Mr. Penumbra-esque The Cartographers by Peng Shepherd and am listening to Tuesday Mooney Talks To Ghosts by Kate Racculia, Lauren Fortgang (Narrator) on audiobook, which is very strange and very addicting.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Paul Cornell’s Rosebud, which is about as far away from Lucas’ creation as you can get in SF. The last audiobook I finished was Taming Demons for Beginners by Annette Marie, Cris Dukehart (Narrator) on audio, which I ended up liking more than I indicated last week.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be Robert B. Parker’s Revenge Tour by Mike Lupica, his fourth (and final) take on Sunny Randall and my next audiobook should be Funny Farm: My Unexpected Life with 600 Rescue Animals by Laurie Zaleski, Erin Moon (Narrator).

Is the Force with you on any of your recent/current reads? (ha! got one reference in)
