This was supposed to look a little different, I’m supposed to be tearing myself away from the final book in the Alex Verus series, Risen, to put this together. But I don’t have Risen yet. Because someone with the initials HCN forgot to order it. I’ve been planning for months—revisiting the series on audio so that I was primed for the release day—planning the last week and a half of reading to clear the deck for it.

And I forgot to order it.

There are times I’m really really disappointed in myself.

Still, it’s time for WWW Wednesday, so let’s get on with that.

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 Jack Reacher 2.0 novel, Better Off Dead by Lee Child and Andrew Child, and am listening to We Had a Little Real Estate Problem: The Unheralded Story of Native Americans & Comedy by Kliph Nesteroff on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Chris McDonald’s Mistletoe and Crime—it feels a little strange to read a Christmas-themed mystery in December after a couple of years of getting ARCs for them in September. I also just finished Cold Reign by Faith Hunter, Khristine Hvam (Narrator) on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be Risen by Benedict Jacka (or I’m firing my purchasing department). My next audiobook should be A Christmas Carol: A Signature Performance by Tim Curry by…well, if you read that title, you should be able to figure it out. Since I saw Bookstooge talking about this, it’s been in the back of my mind. I think it’ll be a good palate cleanswer when I finish my current listen.

Hit me with your Three W’s in the comments! (no, really, do it!)

Time for WWW Wednesday!

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading aptly named The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake by Aimee Bender. As the new month kicks off it’s time for the next Jane Yellowrock—Cold Reign by Faith Hunter, Khristine Hvam (Narrator) on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished the heartbreaking and heartwarming wonder that is Mike Gayle’s All the Lonely People and I finished my tour revisiting the Alex Verus series with Forged by Benedict Jacka, Gildart Jackson (Narrator) on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be The Last Time She Died by Zoë Sharp and my next audiobook should be We Had a Little Real Estate Problem: The Unheralded Story of Native Americans & Comedy by Kliph Nesteroff.

You reading anything good in the midst of the seasonal busy-ness?

It’s Thanksgiving Eve, time to take a break from thinking about too much food and glance at what I’ve been up to the last week with a WWW Wednesday.

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading the ARC for The Twelve Monotasks: Do One Thing at a Time to Do Everything Better by Thatcher Wine and am listening to Super Powereds: Year 1 by Drew Hayes, Kyle McCarley (Narrator) on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Rick Riordan’s Daughter of the Deep (which was exactly what I needed to keep me reading his stuff) and The Astonishing Mistakes of Dahlia Moss by Max Wirestone, Lauren Fortgang (Narrator) on audio (a different narrator for this book, and maybe a better one).

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be All the Lonely People by Mike Gayle—it’s been over a decade since I’ve read Gayle, and am eager to see how he’s developed. Wrapping up my Alex Verus revisit just in time for the finale coming out in December, my next audiobook should be Forged by Benedict Jacka, Gildart Jackson (Narrator).

How are you spending this holiday week (if you’re in the U.S.)? I’m curious about the rest of the world, too, but it feels awkward to ask how you’re spending a perfectly generic week…

There’s not as much turnover from last week’s WWW Wednesday to today’s for my taste. Every book this month (text or audio) has taken/is taking me longer to get through than I expected. Not a big deal, just one of those things…anyhow, here’s this week’s WWW:

I’m reading The Tower, the Zoo, and the Tortoise by Julia Stuart and am listening to The Astonishing Mistakes of Dahlia Moss by Max Wirestone, Lauren Fortgang (Narrator) on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Michael Connelly’s The Dark Hours—a very timely book—and Master of Formalities by Scott Meyer, Luke Daniels (Narrator) on audio. Oddly for a Meyer book, I’m not sure what to think yet.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be Daughter of the Deep by Rick Riordan—I don’t know if I can do another mythology book from him anytime soon, but I’m curious about this. I’m also curious about my next audiobook Super Powereds: Year 1 by Drew Hayes, Kyle McCarley (Narrator).

Speaking of curious—what’re you reading?
