Tag: WWW Wednesday Page 17 of 32

It’s the last WWW Wednesday of 2022, and I’ve been trying to wrap up things strong this year. Nose to the literary grindstone and all that, you know?

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 (finally!!) reading E.B. White on Dogs edited by Martha White (I bought this in January with the intention of reading it ASAP. Oops.) and am listening to Your Perfect Year by Charlotte Lucas, translated by Alison Layland, and Narrated by Carly Robins and P. J. Ochlan on audiobook (which I’ve actually owned longer).

What did you recently finish reading?

Yesterday, I finished Rainbow Rowell’s Scattered Showers and Matt Witten’s Killer Story—one book was full of sweetness, light, and love, and the other was absent of pretty much all of that. The most recent audiobook I finished was Midnight Blue-Light Special by Seanan McGuire, Emily Bauer (Narrator).

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be Early Grave by Paul Levine and my next audiobook should be The Princess Beard by Delilah S. Dawson and Kevin Hearne, Narrated by Luke Daniels—nothing like a couple of sure-fire pleasers to close out the year.

How are you wrapping up 2022?

It’s time for the penultimate WWW Wednesday of 2022!

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading the very charming Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett and am continuing my revisit of InCryptid by listening to Midnight Blue-Light Special by Seanan McGuire, Emily Bauer (Narrator) on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Akwaeke Emezi’s Pet, which was…odd and powerful. My most recent audiobook was Secrets Typed in Blood by Stephen Spotswood, Kirsten Potter (Narrator) on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be Yes, Chef: A Memoir by Marcus Samuelsson and Veronica Chambers. Assuming I get my post about All These Worlds finished in time, my next audiobook should be Heaven’s River by Dennis E. Taylor, Ray Porter (Narrator) (otherwise, I’m not sure).

What about you?

So…this week may turn out to be nothing but things I’ve already composed or that I can quickly plug a couple of things into—that brain fog thing is hitting me hard anytime I do something more strenuous than turning a page or pushing a remote button. So, here’s today’s plug ‘n play post.

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading Sacrifices by Jamie Schultz (7 years after I bought it!) and am listening to The Twist of a Knife by Anthony Horowitz, Rory Kinnear (Narrator), the new Hawthorne and Horowitz mystery, on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Olivia Blacke’s Vinyl Resting Place, a fun cozy, and Junkyard War by Faith Hunter, Khristine Hvam (Narrator) on audio, which wasn’t cozy at all.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be Pet by Akwaeke Emezi—I have no idea what to expect out of this, I am going solely off of a recommendation. My next audiobook should be the third installment in the Pentecost and Parker series, Secrets Typed in Blood by Stephen Spotswood, Kirsten Potter (Narrator).

Hope you’re having a better—and healthier—week. Reading anything good?

It’s time for this week’s WWW Wednesday!

What are you currently reading?

I just started Radio Radio by Ian Shane and am listening to Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing by Matthew Perry on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Mary Robinette Kowal’s The Spare Man, and have already started recommending it to everyone. I also finished the satisfying Stone Cold by C. J. Box, David Chandler (Narrator) on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be Her Name Is Knight by Yasmin Angoe (and yeah, I said this last week, but other library deadlines reared their head) and my next audiobook should be the trilogy ending Junkyard War by Faith Hunter, Khristine Hvam (Narrator).

What about you?

It’s time for WWW Wednesday. Which is a relief—none of what was on my full (but easily fulfilled) checklist last night was able to be checked off. So at least I can get something that’s not a rerun up today, right? Who knows, I might be able to get something else wrapped up, but I’m not counting on it at this point.

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading Aether Powered by James T. Lambert and am listening to Bookish People by Susan Coll, Alexa Morden (Narrator) on audiobook. I’m intrigued by and am enjoying one of them. I’m tolerating the other (sunk cost fallacy beats me again). Time will tell if that changes.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Chris McDonald’s Little Ghost, his newest series debut, and The World Record Book of Racist Stories by Amber Ruffin & Lacey Lamar on audio, which gave me pretty much exactly what I expected.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be Her Name Is Knight by Yasmin Angoe, the first in a series I’ve been curious about for a bit. My next audiobook should be Stone Cold by C. J. Box, David Chandler (Narrator), because it’s been too long since I spent time with Joe Pickett.

Are you reading anything promising right now?

Here on the Eve of Gluttony Day (or whatever we’re calling it this year), I’m going to take a moment and see to this week’s WWW Wednesday.

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading Dead Lions by Mick Herron (and spending a good deal of time berating myself for putting this off for so long) and am listening to The Mutual Friend by Carter Bays, George Newbern (Narrator) on audiobook (and am wondering if it’s worth the time).

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Darynda Jones’ A Hard Day for a Hangover—which is as fun as its predecessors—and Druid Vices and a Vodka by Annette Marie, Cris Dukehart (Narrator) on audio—and that ending really surprised me.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be Wistful Ascending by JCM Berne for a tour next week and my next audiobook should be The World Record Book of Racist Stories by Amber Ruffin & Lacey Lamar to raise my blood pressure (and give me a few chuckles).

Are you especially thankful for any reads this week? (or are you suffering through a turkey?)

We’ve reached the midway point for the week, and it’s about time that I actually produce something. Let’s start with this week’s WWW Wednesday and see if I can manage anything else.

What are you currently reading?

I’m having a blast with Theft of Swords by Michael J. Sullivan and I’m listening to Missing Pieces by Peter Grainger, Gildart Jackson (Narrator) on audiobook. I’m a little worried about what I’m going to do now that I’m a couple of hours short of being totally caught up on this series. I guess it’s about time to start it again.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Michael Connelly’s Desert Star (hopefully you’ll read my take on it later today) and All These Worlds by Dennis E. Taylor, Ray Porter (Narrator) on audio—this series keeps getting better..

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be A Hard Day for a Hangover by Darynda Jones and my next audiobook should be Druid Vices and a Vodka by Annette Marie, Cris Dukehart (Narrator).

What about you?

While all of us in the U.S. are celebrating or grousing (or a little of each) about the election results (and you’re formally invited to not comment on them below), I’m going to take a quick break to tackle today’s WWW Wednesday!

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading the ARC for NYPD Red 7: The Murder Sorority by Marshall Karp (an actual paper ARC, it’s been ages since I got my hands on one of those) and I’m listening to All These Worlds by Dennis E. Taylor, Ray Porter (Narrator) on audiobook, I’ve barely scratched the surface and Taylor has already upped the stakes more than I expected.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Andrew Sean Greer’s Less and Screwed by Eoin Colfer, John Keating (Narrator) on audio. I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve listened to and read two books with such divergent feels simultaneously.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be Desert Star by Michael Connelly and my next audiobook should be Missing Pieces by Peter Grainger, Gildart Jackson (Narrator) it’d be easy to draw a lot of parallels between these series at this point in their runs, but I know the voices are so different, that I’m not worried about them being too similar.

Have you been reading anything interesting lately?

So life interfered last week and I’ve had to skip two books on my schedule so I can meet some commitments. I’m not sure when I’m going to be able to double back and get those I skipped, either. I tell ya, I should just retire early and do this full-time. The only thing that stands in my way are trivialities like my need for food, shelter, an Internet connection, and the ability to buy books.

While I put together the inevitable gofundme drive, why don’t we try this WWW Wednesday?

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading Kestrel’s Dance by Misty Massey for some high seas adventure and am listening to Discount Armageddon by Seanan McGuire, Emily Bauer (Narrator) on audiobook—I’d really forgotten how fun Verity can be.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished James Brayken’s The Veiled Edge of Contact—look for a Q&A with the author soon (shortly after I whittle down the 3 dozen things I want to ask him). I also just wrapped up Poltergeist by Kat Richardson, Mia Barron (Narrator) on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should either be Gardens by Benedict Jacka or Terry’s Crew by Terry Crews and Cory Thomas (it depends on how long Kestrel’s Dance takes me). My next audiobook should be Screwed by Eoin Colfer, John Keating (Narrator).

What about you?

For the second week in a row, I find myself spinning my wheels and staring at blank screens when it comes time to work on posts here. It’s starting to get to me. Hopefully by the time this posts, that sentence will be out-of-date, but I’m not counting on it. I’ve been reading and listening to plenty of things to give me material to write about, as you can see in this WWW Wednesday!

My next book should be the second Frost Files installment, Random Sh*t Flying Through the Air by Jackson Ford, (a few years too late for my taste) and my next audiobook should be the second Greywalker novel, Poltergeist by Kat Richardson, Mia Barron (Narrator).

How are you coasting into November?
