Assembling furniture always takes a lot longer than it should, right? Last night, I got a desk halfway assembled when I noticed I’d switched a couple of legs in step 2. So had to disassemble it, redo that part and then complete the desk. Then, when I got to the last step, I realized that I’d actually had the legs in the right spots earlier, they were just backward—sooo back to the beginning one more time. I got it finished, and am just ignoring the extra parts…

This is just to say, that I didn’t have time to get anything scheduled last night, but here’s a quick WWW Wednesday!

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 two books at the moment: the whimsical history, How to Slay a Dragon: A Fantasy Hero’s Guide to the Real Middle Ages by Cait Stevenson, and the new Toby Daye novel, When Sorrows Come by Seanan McGuire. I’m also listening to Broken Soul by Faith Hunter, Khristine Hvam (Narrator) on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Spencer Quinn’s It’s a Wonderful Woof (a little more Christmas in September) and Bound by Benedict Jacka, Gildart Jackson (Narrator) on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be Pug Actually by Matt Dunn (because I apparently can’t go more than one novel lately without a dog on the cover) and my next audiobook should be Word by Word: The Secret Life of Dictionaries by Kory Stamper on audiobook which looks like a nerdy kind of fun.

Hit me with yours, they’re always inspirational.

I’ve read a couple of killer books in a row, the kind of reads that I’m intimidated to try to write about, you know? Anything I say will be a disservice. But that’s a problem for another time, now, it’s time for the check in that is WWW Wednesday!

What are you currently reading?

I just started Suburban Dicks by Fabian Nicieza, which I’ve been looking forward to for a while, and am listening to the fairly amusing Yearbook by Seth Rogen (and a supporting cast) on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Lee Matthew Goldberg’s Stalker Stalked, which was just stunning, and the unimpressive Robert Ludlum’s The Treadstone Exile by Joshua Hood, Ron Butler (Narrator) on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be a little Christmas in September with Best in Snow by David Rosenfelt and my next audiobook should be Bound by Benedict Jacka, Gildart Jackson (Narrator).

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

Running a little late with WWW Wednesday today, but here it is.

What are you currently reading?

I’m currently reading the ARC of True Dead by Faith Hunter in preparation for a Book Tour Stop Monday. Also, I’m revisiting Bone Canyon by Lee Goldberg, Nicol Zanzarella (Narrator) on audiobook because it was so fun and I wanted to remember a couple of details before book three hits this fall.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Andrew Cartmel’s The Run-Out Groove, the second Vinyl Detective novel—something that’s been sitting on my shelf since 2018. I also just finished the audiobook for the very clever The Word is Murder by Anthony Horowitz, Rory Kinnear (Narrator) on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be Nine Nasty Words: English in the Gutter: Then, Now, and Forever by John McWhorter, because it sounds amusing and interesting—also, I haven’t read a non-fiction book in so long, I feel like I’ve forgotten how. My next audiobook should be Robert Ludlum’s The Treadstone Exile by Joshua Hood, Ron Butler (Narrator).

What are you reading to kick off September?

Another day without a “real” post. The struggle with my new schedule continues–I really thought I had a post ready to go today, I just needed a bit more work. And then I started reading, and didn’t get around to writing. I’m on a roll when it comes to books—not sure it’ll be enough for the 20 Books of Summer, but it’ll be close. It helps that I’ve hit a streak of good ones, too. Let’s take a quick look at some of them with this WWW Wednesday!

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading very fun and charming The Good Byline by Jill Orr and am listening to the mildly amusing In a Sunburned Country by Bill Bryson on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished a couple of books that didn’t hold back the shocking moments: David Nolan’s The Mermaid’s Pool and Cold Wind by C. J. Box, David Chandler (Narrator) on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be the third Sam Batford novel, Fools Gold by Ian Patrick, and my next audiobook might be Warping Minds & Other Misdemeanors by Annette Marie, Rob Jacobsen and Narrated by Iggy Toma if I the hold comes through at the Library—otherwise, I have no idea.

How are you wrapping up the month?
