Tag: WWW Wednesday Page 18 of 31

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!

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 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!

I just finished Marshall Karp’s Snowstorm in August and Adequate Yearly Progress by Roxanna Elden, Roxana Ortega (Narrator) on audio.

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 🙂

I’m reading the new Jesse Stone: Robert B. Parker’s Fallout by Mike Lupica.

I just finished Preeti Chhibber’s Spider-Man’s Social Dilemma, which was ridiculously entertaining, and Travel by Bullet by John Scalzi, Zachary Quinto (Narrator) on audio, which was so satisfying.

I’m really looking forward to the next books on my docket: my next book should be Snowstorm in August by Marshall Karp and my next audiobook should be Adequate Yearly Progress by Roxanna Elden, Roxana Ortega (Narrator).

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:

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’m reading the fantastic The Art of Prophecy by Wesley Chu and will be starting The Alchemist and an Amaretto by Annette Marie, Cris Dukehart (Narrator) on audiobook about an hour after this posts.

What did you recently finish reading?

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.

Hit me with your Three W’s in the comments! (unless you don’t want to, that is)

Are you up for WWW Wednesday? Hope so, cuz here we go…

I just finished Chris McDonald’s Roses for the Dead, a great conclusion to the trilogy; and the quick hit of goodness that was The Heron by Don Winslow, Ed Harris (Narrator), on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be The Art of Prophecy by Wesley Chu, which just looks great, and my next audiobook should be Out of Spite, Out of Mind by Scott Meyer, Luke Daniels (Narrator), which is hopefully an improvement over the previous one in the series.

Hope you’re reading something good, tell me about it!

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!

Today, I’m wrapping up the third Charley Mann thriller, Persecution by RC Bridgestock, and I should be finishing Plugged by Eoin Colfer, John Keating (Narrator) on audiobook.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished J. C. Jackson’s Divine and Conquer—a pivotal installment for this series—and Summerland by Michael Chabon on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be One Decisive Victory by Jeffery H. Haskell, which promises to be chock-full of action. To gear up for the next Toby Daye in a couple of weeks, I’m going to revisit When Sorrows Come by Seanan McGuire, Mary Robinette Kowal (Narrator) via audiobook.

What about you?

August 3 already? I’m not prepared for that. I could handle it being mid-July, but early August is…uncalled for, really.

Like I said Monday, I’m working on a couple of ARCs to start the week and then I’m tackling the home stretch for 20 Books of Summer. Then I’m shifting into the most ambitious project I’ve tried for the blog yet. I’ll get into details as it starts to come together, but now that I’ve said something, I’m going to have to get moving. (at least that’s the plan).

Enough of that, shall we tackle this WWW Wednesday?

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading The Marauders, The Daughter, and The Dragon by K.R.R. Lockhaven, which he described as the first in a “humorous hopepunk nautical fantasy trilogy” when we did a Q&A last year, which seems like a pretty apt description. I just started listening to Summerland by Michael Chabon on audiobook. I remember almost nothing

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Nick Kolakowski’s Hell of a Mess—a welcome return to that series. I also just finished True Dead by Faith Hunter, Khristine Hvam (Narrator) on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be Composite Creatures by Caroline Hardaker to see why Paul recommended it to me. My next audiobook should be Plugged by Eoin Colfer, John Keating (Narrator).

How are you starting August?

I’ve said it a couple of times already this week, but I didn’t plan at all for SPAAW, and didn’t think I’d be able to participate this year. But I noticed that I did have a couple of Self-Published books on my August list, so I moved a couple of things around and this past week hasn’t looked like what I expected. And I think I’ll still be able to meet all the library due dates/personal deadlines that only I care about. Phew.

Time for WWW Wednesday!

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading/relishing the ARC of Bark to the Future by Spencer Quinn and am listening to On Eden Street by Peter Grainger, Gildart Jackson (Narrator) on audiobook, I’m enjoying the new vibe of the series, but missing the old one.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Harry Bingham’s The Deepest Grave, the latest/last(?) book in the Fiona Griffiths series, I don’t like knowing there’s not another mystery with her in the waiting. My latest audiobook was The Jigsaw Man by Nadine Matheson, Davine Henry (Narrator) on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be Dead Against Her by Melinda Leigh, which will get me caught up on the Bree Taggart series (there’s a downside to that, I have to wait for the next one!). My next audiobook should be True Dead by Faith Hunter, Khristine Hvam (Narrator)—which is a holdover from last week, I realized I could squeeze in one more SPAAW book if I shuffled things up a bit.

You reading anything good lately? Or not-good, but that you want to talk about?

Like just about everyone in the Northern Hemisphere (or so it seems), I seem to be melting this week. When I’m not dreaming of November, I’ve been distracting myself with books—I’m actually two days ahead of where I expected to be. This happens so rarely, I’m on the verge of dancing a jig. Let’s dive into this WWW Wednesday and see what’s up, shall we?

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be Ghost of a Chance by Dan Willis (yeah, finally gettting to it!) With the Jane Yellowrock series finale just a few weeks away, my next audiobook should be True Dead by Faith Hunter, Khristine Hvam (Narrator).

How are you distracting yourself from the swelter?
