Maybe it’s the whole end of DST thing, but my sleep has been out of whack for a couple of days, which is making it difficult to post anything. I’d intended to spend my lunch hour cleaning up a post for today, but I got my eyes dilated this morning, and they’re not focusing very well yet. So much for that idea. At least I’d already assembled this for WWW Wednesday, right?

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 incredibly fun Love & Bullets: Megabomb Edition by Nick Kolakowski and am listening to Master of Formalities by Scott Meyer, Luke Daniels (Narrator) on audiobook (which is likely to be as fun, I’m not that far into it yet, so I don’t know).

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Richard Osman’s The Man Who Died Twice—which was spectacular—and the entertaining The Unfortunate Decisions of Dahlia Moss by Max Wirestone, Lauren Fortgang (Narrator) on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

I’m looking forward to seeing what Renee Ballard is up to in my next read, The Dark Hours by Michael Connelly. My next audiobook should be The Astonishing Mistakes of Dahlia Moss by Max Wirestone, Lauren Fortgang (Narrator).

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading The Appeal by Janice Hallett, it is unlike any crime novel that I’ve ever read. I’m listening to Shadow Writes by Faith Hunter, Khristine Hvam (Narrator) on audiobook for my monthly check-in with Jane Yellowrock.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Chuck Wendig’s creepy and goofy Dust & Grim and The Case of the Missing Marquess by Nancy Springer, Katherine Kellgren (Narrator) on audio–which was fun but left me wanting a bit more.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be another dose of septuagenarian fun with The Man Who Died Twice by Richard Osman and I have no idea what my next audiobook will be, I’m not feeling incredibly inspired by anything I”m seeing.

The wheels have really come off of my plans for the week–boh in terms of writing and reading. Real Life can be such a drag, you know? But we’re at the mid-point, and hopefully, I can recover a bit. And if not? At least I’m spending some time with these good books that I’m about to talk about in this WWW Wednesday.

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading the third DetectiveEve Ronin thriller, Gated Prey by Lee Goldberg, and am listening to book about a woman on the other side of the law, Finlay Donovan Is Killing It by Elle Cosimano, Angela Dawe (Narrator) on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Stephan Pastis’s Squirrel Do Bad, a MG Graphic Novel, and Dark Arts and a Daiquiri by Annette Marie, Cris Dukehart (Narrator), another adventure for Tori and her mystik pals on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be Dust & Grim by Chuck Wendig—which might be a bit too much MG in one week for me, but library due dates are calling the shots, you know? My next audiobook should be Fallen by Benedict Jacka, Gildart Jackson (Narrator), as I get close to wrapping up this re-read through the series.

How are you spending the last week of October?

Prepping for these WWW Wednesday posts can sometimes cause me a little headache. For example, when I finished my most recent read, I didn’t know what to read next. I have a shelf-and-a-half of TBR books staring me in the face (plus a couple of handfuls on my e-reader), and I do want to read them all, just not now. I picked 3 or 4 that I would want to read after my next one, but I wanted something else for now. Does that make sense? In the end, I went with something that will get me closer to finishing the While I Was Reading Challenge for the year—and it turned out to be just the right choice. Still a mystery, but different in tone, structure, and approach than anything I’ve read in years. A good palate cleanser.

Not quite a slump, but it’s as close as I’ve been to one in ages. Shall we get on with with it?

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading The Case of the One-Eyed Witness by Erle Stanley Gardner—fairly sure this is the first time I’ve read this one (and if not, it was pre-1995, so it might as well be—and I’m listening to Breaking Silence by Linda Castillo, Kathleen McInerney (Narrator) on audiobook, time for more mayhem in Amish Country.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Jo Perry’s Everything Happens novella and Dark Heir by Faith Hunter, Khristine Hvam (Narrator) on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be the Western-Zomie-Steampunk sequel Bodacious Creed and the Jade Lake by Jonathan Fesmire and my next audiobook should be a return to the Guild Codex with Dark Arts and a Daiquiri by Annette Marie, Cris Dukehart (Narrator).

What about you? Anything good?

I had a week away from this post (which is good, because I read enough that it’d have been tricky to post this), but now I’m back how and it’s time for WWW Wednesday!

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading the tribute to post-NIrvana grunge Grenade Bouquets by Lee Matthew Goldberg and am listening to the memoir Based on a True Story by Norm Macdonald (Narrator) on audiobook (yeah, I feel like jumping on a bandwagon after his death, which is probably why my library just bought it).

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Nick Petrie’s Tear it Down and had a blast with it. Listening to A Good Day for Chardonnay by Darynda Jones, Lorelei King (Narrator) on audio last week was plenty of fun, too.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be Abandon All Hope by Scott Spires and my next audiobook should be my monthly Jane Yellowrock check-in, Dark Heir by Faith Hunter, Khristine Hvam (Narrator).

Are you reading/listening to anything good at the moment?
