Time for the last WWW Wednesday of June and I (like so many in the West and Northeast of the country) am melting. If I’d been clever I’d have arranged to read a bunch of things set in the Winter or the poles. Instead, I’ve got these books (that are almost as good to escape into).

This meme was formerly hosted by MizB at A Daily Rhythm and revived on Taking on a World of Words—and shown to me by Aurore-Anne-Chehoke at Diary-of-a-black-city-girl.

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 fifth Ben Bracken novel, The Watchman by Rob Parker, and am continuing my march through the Jane Yellowrock series by listening to Blood Trade by Faith Hunter, Khristine Hvam (Narrator) on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Spencer Quinn’s Tender is the Bite (my post about that should have gone up a couple of hours ago) and OCDaniel by Wesley King, Ramon De Ocampo (Narrator) on audio—a great YA read.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be In Plain Sight by Dan Willis—the start of a promising-looking series. Yes, I’ve said that before, but I shouldn’t get distracted this time. I have no idea what my next audiobook is going to be—I’m on a road trip with Mrs. Irresponsible Reader next week, we’ll probably listen to something, but it’s TBD.

Hope you have some cool reads (and/or cool temps)

Time for WWW Wednesday!

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading Dead Ground by M. W. Craven, and if I believed in an Id, mine would be screaming at me for taking time to do anything but read it for the next 200+ pages (like compiling this post). I’m also going through Hidden by Benedict Jacka, Gildard Jackson (Narrator) on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Rob Parker’s Till Morning is Nigh, probably the best of the bunch. I also finally finished Scarface and the Untouchable: Al Capone, Eliot Ness, and the Battle for Chicago by Max Allan Collins and A. Brad Schwartz, Stefan Rudnicki (Narrator) on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be Dog Eat Dog by David Rosenfelt (you have to wonder how he waited for the 22nd book to use this title) and my next audiobook should be Death’s Rival by Faith Hunter, Khristine Hvam (Narrator) as I continue to revisit the Jane Yellowrock series in audio.

You reading anything good at the moment?

As surely as that guy in your office is quoting the Geico Camel Commerical today, it’s time for the weekly check in that we call WWW Wednesday…

I’m reading the MG Fantasy The Mostly Invisible Boy by A. J. Vanderhorst and am listening to Scarface and the Untouchable: Al Capone, Eliot Ness, and the Battle for Chicago by Max Allan Collins and A. Brad Schwartz, Stefan Rudnicki (Narrator) on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished John McMahon’s A Good Kill and Ink & Sigil by Kevin Heane, Luke Daniels (Narrator) on audio (Daniels has to be up for an award for maintaining that accent for so long, right?).

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be The Keepers by Jeffrey B. Burton (one of most anticipated reads of 2021) and my next audiobook should be the fifth Alex Verus, Hidden by Benedict Jacka, Gildard Jackson (Narrator).

You all reading anything good?

It is the 160th day of 2021, also known as June 9. That gives us all a mere 205 days to wrap up things up for the year. Time’s flying. (and based on what I haven’t accomplished this week, I’m going to need every one of those days to write up the books I’ve read up to today)

Also, it’s time for WWW Wednesday!

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading The Penny Black by Rob Parker and have just started listening to The Hum and the Shiver by Alex Bledsoe, narrated by Emily Janice Card and Stefan Rudnicki on audiobook–I’ve read this three times, and can’t wait to revisit it.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished the second in the revitalized Hollows series, Kim Harrison’s Million Dollar Demon and the comedy/horrorCreature Feature by Steven Paul Leiva, narrated by Seamus Dever and Juliana Dever on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be the 3rd Stonebridge Mystery, Meat is Murder by Chris McDonald. My next audiobook should be Ink & Sigil by Kevin Heane, Luke Daniels (Narrator) to prime the mental pump for the sequel here in a couple of weeks.

Are you reading anything good?

The Monday holiday caught me a little off-guard, I really wasn’t ready to put together a WWW Wednesday, but I just remembered what day it was and I needed a little break anyway, so here we go!
