Time for WWW Wednesday, that lovely part of the week where I pretend to be organized.

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 reading Light Years From Home by Mike Chen and am listening to The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkein, Andy Serkis (Narrator) on audiobook—it’s so long, I fully expect to see it in this spot next week, too.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished a pair of hard-boiled novels: The Goodbye Coast by Joe Ide and Dead Man in a Ditch by Luke Arnold on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book will be the next Stonebridge Mystery, All At Sea by Chris McDonald—so you know I’m eager to dive in. My next audiobook should be Quest by A.J. Ponder, Benjamin Fifes (Narrator), a book I literally remember nothing about, so that should lead to a surprise or two.

How about you?

It’s Wednesday, time for me to figure out what I’m reading next, as part of what we call WWW Wednesday.

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading the ARC of the second DS Max Craigie Scottish Crime Thriller, The Blood Tide by Neil Lancaster, and I’m listening to Shattered Bonds by Faith Hunter, Khristine Hvam (Narrator) on audiobook. I’ve only got one more book in my Jane Yellowrock revisit, I need to figure out what I’m going to do next.

What did you recently finish reading?

The last book I finished was Wajahat Ali’s Go Back to Where You Came From: And Other Helpful Recommendations on How to Become American. I also just completed Under Color of Law by Aaron Philip Clark, Preston Butler III (Narrator) on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be Jumping Sharks and Dropping Mics: Modern Idioms and Where they Come From by Gareth Carrol, which looks like a lot of fun. My next audiobook should be the hardboiled PI/Fantasy mashup, Dead Man in a Ditch by Luke Arnold.

What about you? Anything good?

Yes, it’s the first WWW of that month where I have to look at the name at least three times after I spell it to be sure…(I don’t remember the last time I misspelled it, but it just never looks right).

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished Adam Shaw’s The Jackals and Fuzz: When Nature Breaks the Law by Mary Roach (Narrator) on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

Up next are a couple of books that might be worth reading for the titles alone. My next book should be Go Back to Where You Came From: And Other Helpful Recommendations on How to Become American by Wajahat Ali. My next audiobook should be A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking by T. Kingfisher, Patricia Santomasso (Narrator).

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading the very compelling Reconstruction by Mick Herron and am revisiting Burning Bright by Nick Petrie, Stephen Mendel (Narrator) on audiobook, which I remember not playing out the way I expected at all–looking forward to seeing if I should’ve picked it up on the twist earlier.

What about you?

So the holiday Monday threw me off a little bit, it feels like I’m getting this ready far too early in the week. Hope you’re all having a good one, it’s time for WWW Wednesday!

It’s WWW Wednesday time already, eh? Twelve days into the year and I’m already 2 books behind schedule, but I’m catching up. Hopefully, by this time next week, I’ll be on schedule—maybe even ahead (it could happen, don’t laugh).

My next book should be Nice Dragons Finish Last by Rachel Aaron, I’m finally getting to it years after buying it, and my next audiobook should be Dark Queen by Faith Hunter, Khristine Hvam (Narrator).

What about you?

It’s already Wednesday? Where has the year gone?? (I’m not proud of that, but I was struggling to come up with anything else). Let’s put that weak attempt at humor behind us and get on with the WWW Wednesday, okay

What are you currently reading?

I’m finally reading Anonymous by Elizabeth Breck and am listening to Agent to the Stars by John Scalzi, Wil Wheaton (Narrator) on audiobook—it’s as fun as I remember when I read it a decade or so ago.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished the very odd The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas by Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis, translated by Flora Thomson-DeVeaux and Stuff You Should Know: An Incomplete Compendium of Mostly Interesting Things by Josh Clark and Chuck Bryant on audio.

My next book should be Family Business by S.J. Rozan (been waiting for this one!) and my next audiobook should be another trip to Amish country in Gone Missing by Linda Castillo, Kathleen McInerney (Narrator).

How are you all wrapping up the year?

I’m feeling very distracted this week–I’m having a lot of trouble focusing on anything for more than 15 minutes at a time, thankfully I’m reading a couple of books that are built for short-term-focus (am pretty sure that was the order, it’s entirely possible that they induced it). But the end of the year is nigh, I can take the foot off the gas a little bit, right?

I’m finishing off a reading challenge by reading A Dream About Lightning Bugs: A Life of Music and Cheap Lessons by Ben Folds and The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas by Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis, translated by Flora Thomson-DeVeaux. I’m listening to My Contrary Mary by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, Jodi Meadows and narrated by Fiona Hardingham on audiobook, partially inspired by my recent Down theTBR Post.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished E.T.A. Hoffmann’s The Nutcracker (in an effort to inject a little holiday cheer) and Messy: The Power of Disorder to Transform Our Lives by Tim Hartford, Nicholas Guy Smith (Narrator) on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be Anonymous by Elizabeth Breck (after spending over a month on my “On Deck” list–a testament to shoddy planning) and my next audiobook should be The Sentence Is Death by Anthony Horowitz, Rory Kinnear (Narrator).

How are you spending the week?

I’ve been feeling super-productive this week, at least in a quantity-over-quality way. I don’t get weeks like this very often, so I’m trying to take full advantage of it (and need to remember it will end, so I don’t get too annoyed with myself when it does). This week’s WWW Wednesday shows that the Down the TBR posts (and my reading challenges for the year) are helping—you’ll see more of that next week, too.

What are you currently reading?

I’m reading (finally—and, yes, the disciplinary paperwork has been sent to HR) Risen by Benedict Jacka, and Jacka is holding nothing back for this end to the series. I’m also listening to A Private Investigation by Peter Grainger, Gildart Jackson (Narrator) on audiobook, which is sort of a series end, but thankfully isn’t.

What did you recently finish reading?

I just finished the grin-inducing Cherie Priest’s Grave Reservations and the impressive A Christmas Carol: A Signature Performance by Tim Curry on audio.

What do you think you’ll read next?

My next book should be A Dream About Lightning Bugs: A Life of Music and Cheap Lessons by Ben Folds and my next audiobook should be Messy: The Power of Disorder to Transform Our Lives by Tim Hartford, Nicholas Guy Smith (Narrator). Ooh, two non-fiction works at the same time, I don’t do that often.

What have you been up to lately?
