I’m having a hard time lately putting the book(s) I’m reading down and picking the laptop up to write something. Which is both wonderful and frustrating. Hopefully having today off will allow me to post this and something else. We’ll see how long that honey-do list ends up being, eh?

This post contains 1 book from my 20 Books of Summer list and 2 from my Books on My Summer 2024 to-Read List (That Aren’t on My 20 Books Challenge). This feels rather promising when it comes to accomplishing my goals.

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?

Today I’ll start The Teachings of Shirelle: Life Lessons from a Divine Knucklehead by Douglas Green. Last week, I’d said it was going to be my last book, but then I consulted a calendar and shuffled things a bit. I’m currently listening to Erasure by Percival Everett, read by Sean Crisden on audiobook—the first half of this is so good, but I’m worried that it’ll fall apart in the end.

What did you recently finish reading?

A few hours ago I finished Robert Galbraith’s The Running Grave, the fastest-moving Strike novel in a while. The Bitter Past by Bruce Borgos, read by James Babson is the last audiobook I finished.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be Dog Day Afternoon by David Rosenfelt, I’m practically guaranteed good time with a new Andy Carpenter. For my next audiobook, I think I’m going to try One in the Chamber by Robin Peguero, read by Zion Jang.

We’re approaching the middle of the year—how’s your 2024 reading looking? Or, how’s this week shaping up for you?

Whoops, I almost forgot about this. Blame M.W. Craven.

What are you currently reading?

I literally had to force myself to close The Mercy Chair by M.W. Craven and put some distance between me and so I could get this post (and tomorrow’s) ready. I’m closing out Paper & Blood by Kevin Hearne, read by Luke Daniels on audiobook—I’m more eager than I was a couple of days ago for the third installment in this series (and I was pretty eager then). Also, this might be the best thing that Luke Daniels has ever done (and that’s no small feat).

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished E. Rathke’s Howl and I’m Afraid You’ve Got Dragons by Peter S. Beagle, read by Shaun Taylor-Corbett on audio. Am I allowed to say that I enjoyed it more than The Last Unicorn? It feels like the kind of thing I should whisper—or maybe only admit to someone in a parking garage while standing in the shadows.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be for The Teachings of Shirelle: Life Lessons from a Divine Knucklehead by Douglas Green and my next audiobook should be The Bitter Past by Bruce Borgos, read by James Babson.

What has found its way to the top of your TBR?

Yesterday, I told some people that anything I posted this week was a result of me being unable to get anything written about Robin Sloan’s Moonbound, and while this is a regular post for me—it’s still true. I’m taking time away from staring at an empty text file to put this together. Hopefully, there’s another post today, I really need to get something out there about this.

I’m reading Bad Actors by Mark Pepper and am listening to The Ink Black Heart by Robert Galbraith, read by Robert Glenister on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Craig Johnson’s First Frost and the last audiobook I finished was Dark Days by Derek Landy, read by Rupert Degas.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be the new Poe and Tilly novel, The Mercy Chair by M.W. Craven. It’s probably my most anticipated read of the year, and I cannot wait to open it up. My next audiobook should be I’m Afraid You’ve Got Dragons by Peter S. Beagle, read by Shaun Taylor-Corbett.

Things got away from me today, so this is going up later than it should. But I’ve been blathering too much as it is…

I just finished the ARC of Rob Hart’s Assassins Anonymous—and you’re going to want get your hands on this one—and Backpacking Through Bedlam by Seanan McGuire, read by Emily Bauer on audio.

My next book should be First Frost by Craig Johnson (assuming I get to Shared Stories by the time I finish Rites of Passage) and my next audiobook should be The Ink Black Heart by Robert Galbraith, read by Robert Glenister.

How are you closing out the month?

I’m ba-aa-aa-ck. I think.

I’m still reading (and making oddly slow progress in) Woman in White by Wilkie Collins and the short story collection, Takeout Sushi by Christopher Green. I’m listening to Making It So by Patrick Stewart on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

I last finished Shami Stovall’s Time-Marked Warlock, a dynamite soon-to-be-released Urban Fantasy and the audiobook, Lost Talismans and a Tequila by Annette Marie, read by Teddy Hamilton, Cris Dukehart.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be the promising-looking Red Queen by Juan Gómez-Jurado and my next audiobook should be Spelunking Through Hell by Seanan McGuire, read by Emily Bauer.

Tell me what you’re reading.

Oh, also, Bookstooge, try to restrain your Collins I-told-you-so.

It seems like every audiobook I’ve placed on hold at the library became available in the last week–thankfully, I’ve been able to (mostly) stay on top of them.

What are you up to?

Hi there, welcome to this week’s WWW Wednesday, the time where I take a moment out from doing…whatever it is that I’m doing here to talk about what I’m reading and listening to lately. I hope you’re having an okay week. Before we dive in, please indulge me for just a moment, will you? I want to try something real quick-like:

That wasn’t too bad, was it?? Eh, let’s get back to the classic way of doing this:

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading A Midnight Puzzle by Gigi Pandian . I will have probably read it for 20 minutes by the time this posts, so…I don’t have a lot to say about it yet (really looking forward to diving in, though!). I’m listening to The Best Way to Bury Your Husband by Alexia Casale, read by Ambreen Razia, Ayesha Antoine, Bea Holland and Imogen Church on audiobook. It’s described as a dark comedy–I’ve yet to get to the comedy, but man, oh, man does it have the dark covered.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Andrew Miller’s Namaste Mart Confidential, you’ve read few PI novels like this one. I also finished Veronica Ruiz Breaks the Bank by Elle Cosimano, read by Stacy Gonzalez on audio, because it became it available this weekend and I was already in a Finlay Donovan frame of mind, so I bumped it up the list before diving into my current audiobook.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be for Samurai! by Saburo Sakai with Martin Caidin and Fred Saito. My next audiobook should be You’d Look Better as a Ghost by Joanna Wallace, read by Fiona Hardingham.

How’re you doing?

(I promise, I’m going to try to catch up on the comments left lately…I think I’m missing some good stuff there)

So…this is has been a week. (as you might have noticed from the lack of new material from me) I’ve managed to make some good progress on my current read, but that’s about it. I’m not sure I have high hopes for the rest of the week when it comes to the blog, but you never know. I might surprise myself.

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading the beyond-gripping Smoke Kings by Jahmal Mayfield (with big thank you to Raven Crime Reads, otherwise I might have let this one slip by), and am listening to Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice by Elle Cosimano, read by Angela Dawe on audiobook–sillier, funnier, and more madcap than the previous books.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Deena Mohamed’s Shubeik Lubeik and Skulduggery Pleasant: The Faceless Ones Trilogy by Derek Landy, read by Rupert Degas on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be for Namaste Mart Confidential by Andrew Miller and my next audiobook should be The Best Way to Bury Your Husband by Alexia Casale, read by Ambreen Razia, Ayesha Antoine, Bea Holland and Imogen Church.

What are you into this week?

We’ve all seen the Strange Planet comic strip about reading, right? Well, that’s where I am at the moment, thanks Seanan McGuire. I’d say more, but then I wouldn’t shut up for 600 words or so.

I’m reading Aftermarket Afterlife by Seanan McGuire and Minds on Small Things: The Philosophers’ Guide to Everyday Life by Matthew Qvortrup. I’m also listening to Little Ghost by Chris McDonald, read by Robert G. Slade on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Carrie Vaughn’s Bannerless—an intense read—and Supercommunicators: How to Unlock the Secret Language of Connection by Charles Duhigg on audio. It wasn’t Duhigg’s most interesting book, but probably the easiest to apply.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be Cooked Goose by Laura Jenski, if only because it seems light, and boy howdy, do I need that. My next audiobook should be Skulduggery Pleasant: The Faceless Ones Trilogy by Derek Landy, read by Rupert Degas—I started the series ages ago (both in print and then in audio)—it’s going to stick this time. Probably.

What do you have cooking?
