No time for my rambling today, let’s just get to the WWW Wednesday!

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 racing through Racing the Light by Robert Crais –this man’s writing is so smooth, you can’t help it–and I’m listening to the amusing The World’s Worst Assistant by Sona Movsesian on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Noelle Holten’s 6 Ripley Avenue and Slaying Monsters for the Feeble by Annette Marie, Cris Dukehart (Narrator) on audio. One of those was good, the other was good enough.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be the second Booking Agents novel, Flight Risk by Cherie Priest, and my next audiobook should be South Korean thriller, The Old Woman with the Knife by Gu Byeong-mo, Chi-Young Kim (Translator), Nancy Wu (Narrator).

Read anything good lately? Right now?

So, like I said Saturday, I spent most of the day with my daughter in the hospital, with very little to do. So I read 2.3 books while she was getting tested, in surgery, etc. (I could’ve gotten closer to finishing the third book, but I took a break for a bit). I only brought one book since I didn’t think I’d be there long, but I did have the Kindle app on my phone–that resulted in me blowing up my schedule–but I did end up reading a book that I was afraid I couldn’t start until November! Obviously, the important thing is that she got the help she needed and is fine now–but I can’t complain about a little personal bonus reading time.

Anyway, it’s time for WWW Wednesday, so why don’t I shut up and get on with it?

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading the fun sequel Amari and the Great Game by B. B. Alston. I’m listening to Anonymous by Elizabeth Breck, Rebecca Gibel (Narrator) on audiobook, because Libro.fm had it for a ridiculous price last month and I couldn’t help myself.

What did you recently finish reading?

By hour 17 Saturday, I needed, something light, so I pulled Jo Platt’s Working It Out off of Mt. TBR. And I just wrapped up Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be Good Talk by Mira Jacob (which I picked up off a comment left on a WWW post here semi-recently) and my next audiobook should be Slaying Monsters for the Feeble by Annette Marie, Cris Dukehart (Narrator).

And you?

It seems like my library has decided to bring me every book I’ve put on hold in the last three months at once. I’m drowning in books to read–and don’t get me started on books I pre-ordered months ago that are gathering dust. On top of that, it feels like I’m getting interrupted and distracted every time I sit down to read or blog. Basically, “I feel thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread” (a few days too late for Hobbit Day). Humbug.

On the other hand, it’s been so long since I read/listened to a dud, that I don’t remember what it was, and am having a great time with these books.

Anyway, here’s this week’s WWW Wednesday, as I chronicle my attempt to tread water in the middle of this flood.

What are you currently reading?

I’m really enjoying, but making slug-like progress in, Station Eternity by Mur Lafferty and am digging into For We Are Many by Dennis E. Taylor, Ray Porter (Narrator) on audiobook. And boy howdy, is that title correct, I’m having trouble keeping track of the “many” POVs.

What did you recently finish reading?

I was apparently in a subtitle mood last week with a couple of fun and informative books celebrating some of my favorite books/shows: Danielle Higley’s The Stories Behind the Stories: The Remarkable True Tales Behind Your Favorite Kid’s Books and Directed by James Burrows: Five Decades of Stories from the Legendary Director of Taxi, Cheers, Frasier, Friends, Will & Grace, and More by James Burrows with Eddy Friedfeld and Read by James Burrows and Danny Campbell on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be the ARC for Santa’s Little Yelpers by David Rosenfelt (moved up the list to make sure I hit the publication date) and my next audiobook should be Heads in Beds: A Reckless Memoir of Hotels, Hustles, and So-Called Hospitality by Jacob Tomsky, Jacob Tomsky (Narrator), something I stumbled onto at the library that caught my eye.

How are you closing out this ninth month?

I knew I’d been distracted lately, but I just saw how many comments I haven’t approved/replied to over the last couple of weeks. I guess I’ve been really distracted, I’d better work on that tonight (assuming I get the chance). In the meantime, it’s time for WWW Wednesday!

What are you currently reading?

I just started Hell and Back by Craig Johnson—it looks like Walt’s off on another supernatural adventure. I’m about to finish listening to the return of DC Smith in  The Truth by Peter Grainger, Gildart Jackson (Narrator) on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished James J. Butcher’s Dead Man’s Hand—which was as good as I’d hoped—and Big Red Tequila by Rick Riordan, Tom Stechschulte (Narrator) on audio—it was nice to remember what pre-Percy Jackson Riordan was like.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be the SF/Mystery hybrid, Station Eternity by Mur Lafferty, and my next audiobook should be the essay collection Movies (And Other Things) by Shea Serrano, Mario Toscano (Narrator).

While I work on catching up on comments, feel free to drop your Ws.

It’s time for WWW Wednesday. I started an introduction to this earlier, which I thought was going to be amusing, but ended up a few miles from there. So, eh…let’s just go with: Hey, it’s Wednesday, let’s do the regular check-in!

My next book should be the UF debut Dead Man’s Hand by James J. Butcher (I’m going to try not to compare him to that other UF author named Butcher) and my next audiobook should be the latest Stonebridge Mystery, All at Sea by Chris McDonald, Stephen Armstrong (Narrator).

Hit me with your Three W’s!

As always with a Monday holiday, I’m having a hard time thinking that it’s time for WWW Wednesday already. But I needed the day off enough that I’m not complaining—I relaxed, spent time with Mrs. Irresponsible Reader, and finished two books. Now I just have to find the time to write about them 🙂

What about you?

Time for the WWW Wednesday for this week, putting this together is giving me an opportunity to start planning my September/Autumn reads—I may have bitten off too much, I think I’m behind already. But I’ll deal with that later, for now, let’s focus on these questions:

The Three Ws are:

What do you think you’ll read next?

Easy enough, right?

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading Be the Serpent by Seanan McGuire—after all the joy of the last book, I anticipate that McGuire is going to hit us hard with this one. I’m also listening to Mistletoe and Crime by Chris McDonald, Stephen Armstrong (Narrator) on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

I stayed up too late last night finishing Patricia Brigg’s Soul Taken and (hours earlier) finished Greywalker by Kat Richardson, Mia Barron (Narrator) on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be Fatal Forgery by Susan Grossey, a little dip into 19th financial crime. My next audiobook should be the third in The Dispatcher series of novellas, Travel by Bullet by John Scalzi, Zachary Quinto (Narrator).

What are your WWWs?

Plans and ambitions have run smack dab into Book Tour obligations and library due dates, so that cockiness I displayed a couple of weeks ago when talking about finishing the 20 Books of Summer Challenge early has come back to bite me (as I should’ve known). I should still finish on time, but it could be a close call. Thankfully, those obligations and due dates came with really good books, so I’ll take the trade-off. Anyway…on with the WWW Wednesday!

I just finished Faith Hunter’s Final Heir (and, therefore, the Jane Yellowrock series) and the compelling Roxanne by Peter Grainger, Gildart Jackson (Narrator) on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be The Ghost Machine by James Lovegrove, I could use something light and breezy after the last two epic reads. My next audiobook should be Her Last Breath by Linda Castillo, Kathleen McInerney (Narrator) so I can see what’s next in Painters Mill.

Like I said Saturday, I’ve been largely occupied with non-book related things this week, but I did have time to put together this last night, I should be back to normal tomorrow. But for now, here’s WWW Wednesday!
