Well, today got away from me. Let me get this up and I’ll try again tomorrow.

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?

Seems easy enough, right? Let’s take a peek at this week’s answers:

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading still A Blight of Blackwings by Kevin Hearne, as with the first in the trilogy, as much as I’m enjoying the book, I need to take a break from it every now and then. but hopefully I finish it before next week’s post. I’m also listening to a very odd take on Peter Pan, Darling by K. Ancrum, read by Angel Pean, on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished a couple of very entertaining books: Olivia Blacke’s Rhythm and Clues and Dead Ground by M.W. Craven, read by John Banks on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be the ARC of The Tenacious Tale of Tanna the Tendersword by Dewey Conway & Bill Adams (soooo many ARCs lately, how am I ever going to make TBR progress?) and my next audiobook should be a quick trip to Painter’s Mill, Ohio (the most crime-ridden Amish community in the States) in A Hidden Secret by Linda Castillo, read by Kathleen McInerney .

Somehow, it feels like March is half over, no matter what my calendar says. Is it just me?

Eh, numbers were never my thing, anyway. Let’s talk about words.

I’m reading A Blight of Blackwings by Kevin Hearne, a mere four years after it was released (and four months after the final book in the trilogy was published), and am listening to Moonlight Mile by Dennis Lehane, read by Jonathan Davis on audiobook, the end of my most recent Kenzie/Gennaro revisit..

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished T. L. Simpson’s Strong Like You, a dynamite debut, and The Body’s Keepers: A Social History of Kidney Failure and Its Treatments by Paul L. Kimmel, MD, read by Lane Hakel on audiobook.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be the ARC of Rhythm and Clues by Olivia Blacke (which will surely be a fun time, like the first two in the series) and my next audiobook should be Dead Ground by M.W. Craven, read by John Banks, the only novel in the series I didn’t write about yet. Hopefully, I can fix that with revisiting it.

Are your books for the beginning of March more like lions or lambs?

WWW Wednesday, February 28, 2024

Yay, the month is almost over and I can get back to not having to overthink what I type in the Post Title!

So, speaking of February, I’ve mentioned before, but I need to say something one more time. I’m taking part in the fundraiser, I’m Reading Every Day for American Cancer Society this month, and I’d greatly appreciate your support.

I’m reading the ARC of Rift in the Soul by Faith Hunter, which I’m really enjoying and seemingly not making much progress in. I’m listening to The Body’s Keepers: A Social History of Kidney Failure and Its Treatments by Paul L. Kimmel, MD, read by Lane Hakel on audiobook. It’s both fascinating and a solid reminder that I was right to avoid any career related to medicine.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Bradley Sides’s Crocodile Tears Didn’t Cause the Flood, a very strange book* that I meant to post about today. I also just listened to the mercifully brief An Elderly Lady Is Up to No Good by Helene Tursten, translated by Marlaine Delargy, read by Suzanne Toren on audio.

* And I mean that in the best possible way.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be for Strong Like You by T. L. Simpson and I have no idea what my next audiobook might be. I haven’t even thought of it, really—there’s a decent chance that I’ll still be listening to The Body’s Keepers when I assemble next week’s WWW, so I’ve got time to decide.

What are you reading today—and for the “bonus day” tomorrow?

WWW Wednesday, February 21, 2024

This has turned into one of those weeks…I’ve read for 60 minutes (combined) the last two days—and I don’t expect today is going to be much better. Those 30 minutes a day is enough to keep me sane…just. (they’re also a good reminder that my mind does require some time for reading). They’re enough to help me keep going with my, I’m Reading Every Day for American Cancer Society, too—a nice bonus. Shall we take a quick look at the books I’m spending a little time with?

I’m reading the disturbing (as the cover suggests) Abnormal Ends by Bryan McBee, and am listening to Spells for the Dead by Faith Hunter, read by Khristine Hvam on audiobook to refresh my mind on the series before I dive into the next one.

My next book should be the ARC of Rift in the Soul by Faith Hunter (so I’d better make sure I get in some good Audiobook listening time soon) and my next audiobook should be An Elderly Lady Is Up to No Good by Helene Tursten, translated by Marlaine Delargy, read by Suzanne Toren, which looks like a quick and fun read.

I was reminded of Joshua Malina’s repeated struggles to pronounce the name of this month on the West Wing Weekly podcast (a tremendous look at the show, if you haven’t listened to it yet, you should) as it took me three times to get the spelling right in the title of this post. I’m a moderately-intelligent, college-educated adult and should be over this by now (and remember never having a problem with it). But man…it was rough this morning.

So, here’s a WWW to look over while I go grab a napkin and fork so I can dig into the Humble Pie.

What’s on your bedside table (or wherever you keep your current reads)?

WWW Wednesday, January 31, 2024

Here we are at the end of January, and there are at least 2 books I’d hoped to tackle on my TBR and one on my TBL (it To Be Listened (to) a thing? It should be) that I haven’t touched. Not bad, but, still—not auspicious. (one of those three does show up in this post at least!). Before I start planning February’s impossible goals, we might as well take a look at this week’s WWW.

How’re you wrapping up this first month?

WWW Wednesday, January 24, 2024

I’m having one of those months where every book is taking at least a day longer than I assumed it would. This isn’t really a big deal—but I have a stack of library books with due dates looming, and I’m going to have to do something to overcome that. As that Canadian band asks, who needs sleep?

This morning I started two new books: I’m reading Death in the Dark Woods by Annelise Ryan, and am listening to Planet Narnia: The Seven Heavens in the Imagination of C. S.

I just finished Duncan MacMaster’s Hacker. It was better than I expected (and I expected good things). I also just finished Prayers for Rain by Dennis Lehane, read by Jonathan Davis on audio. I’d forgotten so much of this book—this was like reading it for the first time.

I’m putting this together on the 16th day of the year—and I just now started my first Mystery novel of the year. How strange is that??? I guess The Tainted Cup had enough of that going on that my withdrawal symptoms haven’t kicked in.
