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!

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 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!

What are you currently reading?

I just started Lycanthropy and Other Chronic Illnesses by Kristen O’Neal, which looks promising and am listening to Raven Cursed by Faith Hunter, Khristine Hvam (Narrator) on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished the Lee Matthew Goldberg’s Runaway Train, a nifty coming-of-age story, and the fun The Authorities by Scott Meyer, Luke Daniels (Narrator) on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be the second in the rejuvinated Hollows series: Million Dollar Demon by Kim Harrison. My next audiobook should be Nowhere to Run by C. J. Box, David Chandler (Narrator), which’ll get me practically half-way to caught up with this series.

What did you just finish/start?

I’ve had to stop trying on a couple of posts for today, they’re just going to take more work than I’m ready for. But I can check in with a WWW Wednesday, which I find interesting (both to put together and to read other people’s), I hope you do, too—’cuz that’s all I’ve got in me today.

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading The Bounty by Janet Evanovich with Steve Hamilton (unless it’s dramatically better than the previous novel—a very low bar—this will be my last Fox & O’Hare book) and am continuing my resisting of the Alex Verus series with Chosen by Benedit Jacka, Gildart Jackson (Narrator) on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished the second Ben Bracken thriller, Rob Parker’s Morte Point and Three Mages and a Margarita by Annette Marie, Cris Dukehart (Narrator) on audio, the first in a promising UF series.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be the 90s throwback Runaway Train by Lee Matthew Goldberg and my next audiobook should be The Authorities by Scott Meyer, Luke Daniels (Narrator)—I’m a little nervous about Meyer outside of Magic 2.0, but I know with Daniels at least it’ll be a good listen.

What about you, what are your current/recent/ reads?

It may seem like I’m not making a lot of progress lately on various books–and that’s only because I’m not. Work’s been crazy and I’m having a hard time finding the time to read–and when I do, there’s not a lot of energy to do it, I’m having a hard time focusing enough to keep going with audiobooks, too. Also, I’ve been beta reading an upcoming novel–I’ll talk more about that soon, but that’s been taking time away from the regular reading (which is not a complaint–great read, I can’t wait to tell you to go buy the book in a couple of months).

Anyway, that’s just to explain why there hasn’t been a lot of turnover in the last few of these posts, but maybe this WWW Wednesday will be the beginning of a return to normal.

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading The Jigsaw Man by Nadine Matheson and am revisiting (for the first time since the late 80s) All Creatures Great and Small by James Herriot, Christopher Timothy (Narrator) on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Scott Ryan’s fantastic Moonlighting: An Oral History and the twisted fun that is A Man With One of Those Faces by Caimh McDonnell, Morgan C. Jones (Narrator) on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be the second Ben Bracken novel, Morte Point by Rob Parker and my next audiobook should be The Data Detective: Ten Easy Rules to Make Sense of Statistics by Tim Harford (who also narrates it). I’m sure that past-me had a good reason for it when he placed the reserve, I just wish I remembered it*.

* I’m sure it’s a fine book, but really past me–statistics???

Hit me with your Three W’s in the comments! I’m curious!
