Tag: WWW Wednesday Page 16 of 34

I’m spending a few hours in a hospital waiting room today (nothing to worry about, just one of those things), so I’ve got a lot of good, uninterrupted reading time ahead of me and a Kindle with a full battery (and probably more books downloaded than I need to get me through the day). Let’s get on with the WWW and here’s hoping you all have a less interesting day.

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 Spirelli Paranormal Investigations: Episodes 1-3 by Kate Baray (a Literary Local). I’m taking a couple of days off from work, so I don’t have an audiobook going.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished S. A. Cosby’s All the Sinners Bleed and will hopefully be able to say something coherent about it soon. Or maybe I’ll just post a few dozen exclamation points with a link to the Bookshop page. I also just finished Don’t Hang Up by Benjamin Stevenson, narrated by: Luke Arnold, Sibylla Budd on audio. I’ll get into it soon (hopefully), but basically–you want to listen to this, but don’t start it unless you have a window long enough to listen to it all–you will not want to push “pause.”

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be Stone of Asylum by Hilarey Johnson (another Literary Local who you will be hearing from soon!) and my next audiobook should be Killers of a Certain Age by Deanna Raybourn, narrated by: Jane Oppenheimer & Christina Delaine.

How are you kicking off August?

I’m taking a quick break from all the Self-Published Authors Appreciation Week stuff for a quick WWW.

I just started Barking for Business by E.N. Crane (a Literary Local and a self-publisher) and am revisiting the Jane Yellowrock finale, Final Heir by Faith Hunter, Khristine Hvam (Narrator), on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Joyce Reynolds Ward’s Klone’s Stronghold (also a Literary Local and self-publisher) and Blue Like Me by Aaron Philip Clark, Preston Butler III (Narrator) on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be All the Sinners Bleed by S. A. Cosby (who is not local, and therefore I don’t have to worry about losing my mind by running into him somewhere) and my next audiobook should be The Bullet That Missed by Richard Osman, Narrated by Fiona Shaw, Richard Osman and Steph McGovern.

Do you have anything interesting on your nightstands?

In honor of the dialect spoken in my current read, I’m calling this a very special WWW Wodensday Edition of this weekly glimpse at what I’m doing to fill my time.

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook for Surviving Medieval England by Brandon Sanderson, an entertaining little romp. By the time this posts, I will probably have just started listening to On Earth as It Is on Television by Emily Jane, Hayden Bishop (Narrator) on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Liz Monument’s The Eternity Fund, a thriller I really wasn’t in the mood for when I started it—but after 20 minutes or so, I was hooked. Yesterday I finished The Librarian of Crooked Lane by C.J. Archer, Marian Hussey on audio, which was utterly okay.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be the SF adventure Proxies by James T. Lambert. A couple of Library holds came through, so my next audiobook should (again) be Blue Like Me by Aaron Philip Clark, Preston Butler III (Narrator).

What’s in front of your eyes?

Another week has flown by, time for a WWW Wednesday.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be the futuristic noir thriller The Eternity Fund by Liz Monument and my next audiobook should be Blue Like Me by Aaron Philip Clark, Preston Butler III (Narrator), where Finn is on the hunt for more dirty cops.

What are you working through?

Thanks to the holiday yesterday, it’s a Wednesday that feels a lot like a Monday—only better because it’s closer to the end of the work week. Still, it’s a Wednesday, so that means it’s time for this quick check-in.

I’m reading The Curse of Silver of Pharaoh by Pip Ballantine, Tee Morris. I’m still listening to Dark Age by Pierce Brown narrated by: Tim Gerard Reynolds, John Curless, Moira Quirk, James Langton & Rendah Heywood on audiobook.

I just finished Danielle Parker’s Pure of Heart, which proved to be a fun take on werewolves.

What’re you up to book-wise?

Happy τ Day, everyone! Or at least for those who write their dates like we do in the States. Happy 28/6 everyone else, I guess. I’d better shut up about number things, because while I’m not The Worst with them, I can see it from where I’m standing. Let’s just move on to books.

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading The Worst We Can Find: MST3K, RiffTrax, and the History of Heckling at the Movies by Dale Sherman and fighting the urge to do nothing but watch MST3K for the next week. And I just started the three-week voyage* that will be listening to Dark Age by Pierce Brown narrated by: Tim Gerard Reynolds, John Curless, Moira Quirk, James Langton & Rendah Heywood on audiobook so I can be ready for Light Bringer‘s release next month.

* That’s hyperbole.**

** I hope.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Reed Farrel Coleman’s Sleepless City (and am still reeling!) and the perfectly pleasant Posthumous Education by Drew Hayes, Kirby Heyborne (Narrator) on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be the UF Pure of Heart by Danielle Parker, a Literary Local, and my next audiobook should be Chaos Choreography by Seanan McGuire, Emily Bauer (Narrator), I’ve gotten behind a bit in my re-listening.

How’re you wrapping up June?

Hey, it’s the first day of Summer, an oddly cool one around here. The change of seasoned doesn’t impact my lifestyle too much–it just means a different kind of weather I’m avoiding by being inside most of the time. I mean, as long as there’s a functioning Air Conditioner and/or heater.

Wow, this might be my dullest opening yet. I’d best move right along to the WWW Wednesday.

I’m wrapping up reading Random Sh*t Flying Through the Air by Jackson Ford and just started listening to Posthumous Education by Drew Hayes, Kirby Heyborne (Narrator) on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished a couple of mixed bags: Jon Rance’s The Worst Man and Murder Your Employer: The McMasters Guide to Homicide by Rupert Holmes, narrated by Neil Patrick Harris and Simon Vance on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be Killing Me by Michelle Gagnon—I hope it turns out half as amusing as it sounds because I’m going to need something lighter to help me deal with my next audiobook, Dark Age by Pierce Brown narrated by: Tim Gerard Reynolds, John Curless, Moira Quirk, James Langton & Rendah Heywood.

How are you kicking off the summer?

I’m not sure that I have anything to ramble on about before the main event today, so let’s just dive into the triple Ws.

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading the new Sunny Randall book from the new Sunny Randall author: Robert B. Parker’s Bad Influence by Alison Gaylin and am listening to the intriguing If I Understood You, Would I Have This Look on My Face?: My Adventures in the Art and Science of Relating and Communicating by Alan Alda (Narrator) on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

The most recent books I’ve finished are David Rosenfelt’s Flop Dead Gorgeous and It’s Great to Suck at Something by Karen Rinaldi on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be The Worst Man by Jon Rance because I forgot that it’s what I put here last week. Oops. And my next audiobook should be Murder Your Employer: The McMasters Guide to Homicide by Rupert Holmes (yeah, it turns out, that one), Narrated by Neil Patrick Harris and Simon Vance.

Tell me about what you’re reading!

Here we are on the 159th day of 2023 and I’m still trying to catch up on my plans for February. This is not so much a complaint on my part as an observation about how bad I am at planning. A true sign that I either need to do less of it, or a whole lot more of it to improve with practice.

It’s also a Wednesday, so that makes it time for WWW Wednesday, so let’s get on with that.

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading The Ink Black Heart by Robert Galbraith and I feel like I’m going to be reading it for the rest of the summer. I’m listening to The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin, Scott Brick (Narrator) on audiobook, which is both considerably shorter and a charming little novel that I can’t believe Scott Brick is narrating (it’s working, but he’s about the last guy I’d have thought of).

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Adam Holcombe’s A Necromancer Called Gam Gam and The Girl Who Could Move Sh*t with Her Mind by Jackson Ford, narrated by Lauren Patten and Graham Halstead.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be the comedic The Worst Man by Jon Rance, Rance is an author I’d been wanting to return to—now’s as good a time as any, right? My next audiobook should be Strong Female Character by Fern Brady, I just stumbled across it yesterday and it struck me as interesting.

Have you been reading anything good, or at least interesting, lately?

The day I’ve long-dreaded has arrived–I don’t mean a WWW Wednesday, or the end of May. The last episode of Ted Lasso is released today, and I’m just not ready for it*. I’d best distract myself by talking some books.

* Yes, I know that Season 3 has had its detractors, and I haven’t loved every moment of it, but I’ll just tell you now, keep your negativity about the show away from me.

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading Real Tigers by Mick Herron (it only took me 6 months since the last one) and I’m still listening to Iron Gold by Pierce Brown, Narrated by: Tim Gerard Reynolds, John Curless, Julian Elfer, and Aedin Moloney on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Mark Pepper’s Man on a Murder Cycle, a fast and furious read. The last audiobook I finished is still The Only Truly Dead by Rob Parker, Warren Brown (Narrator), a great way to end the trilogy.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be A Necromancer Called Gam Gam by Adam Holcombe, a book I have to try based on the title alone. My next audiobook should still be a revisit of The Girl Who Could Move Sh*t with Her Mind Narrated by Lauren Patten and Graham Halstead.

What about you?
