Time for MizB’s WWW meme! This week was moderate progress but I’m still slugging through a few.
The Three Ws are:
What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading?
What do you think you’ll read next?
Currently reading: I’ve stalled reading Canada by Richard Ford but i can almost see the light of when I can pick it back up. I think it’s in about a month? The audio of Under the Wide and Starry Sky by Nancy Horan is getting close to the end. I’m on the second-to-last disk and I can’t wait to finish it. I’m loving and making good progress on The Buddha in the Attic by Julie Otsuka. It’s written in a very compelling way, using a first person plural voice. I like it a lot. I’ve also just started The Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline, which is my next book club selection. My mom recommended this a few months back and I was excited to see it on our book club list.
Recently finished: Just one this week, Okay for Now by Gary D. Schmidt. I read this so fast it was never on my ‘currently reading’ section. A co-worker lent it to me and I read it in three days. I want to talk to her about it, but this is her vacation week. Dang it.
And one book review for you all! Check out my review of Ella Minnow Pea by Mark Dunn that I put up yesterday.
Reading Next: I’m still waiting on Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett to come in at the library. I asked about a library bounty hunter position, but I don’t think she realized I was serious. I’ve got the audio for The Lady of the Rivers by Philippa Gregory in my car, ready to start as son as ‘Sky’ is done. This will fill in the 1400s for my When Are You Reading? Challenge and then I’ll only be one from finishing. Yay! Pretty soon I’ll be starting Read Along #2 and the book we’ve chosen is The Space Between Us by Thrity Umrigar. I met Umrigar about a year ago and she blew me away; what a wonderful woman. I’m excited to read this book! If you’re interested in joining the Read-Along, check out my post explaining what it’s all about and drop me an email.
Hopefully I can finish ‘Sky’ early this week. I’m ready for it to be over. How is your WWW? Leave a comment and let me know and check out the original post on MizB’s blog!
Until next time, write on.

Taking On a World of Words 
Wow you’re a reading machine! I’ve had to slow down a bit lately, back to reading one book at a time (and an ebook while doing chores).

Haha, I try to. It’s all about compartmentalizing the stories in my head. I really don’t read that fast, just a lot at once! 🙂

Great choices, I don’t know where to start! 🙂 I’ve got The Orphan Train and The Buddha In The Attic on my TBR so I’d be interested to know what you think about them. Have a great week, here’s my link http://wp.me/p32hC2-Pp

So far, I’m in love with both of them, but reviews will follow, even if it does take me a while!
Happy Reading.

I’m really enjoying it so far. Only 100 pages in, but that tends to be a good estimate!
Happy Reading.
