Welcome to WWW Wednesday! This meme was formerly hosted by MizB at Should be Reading and revived here on Taking on a World of Words. Just answer the three questions below and leave a link to your post in the comments for others to look at. No blog? No problem! Just leave a comment with your responses. Please, take some time to visit the other participants and see what others are reading. So, let’s get to it!
The Three Ws are:
What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading?
What do you think you’ll read next?
Note: For users of Blogspot blogs, I’m unable to comment on your posts as a WordPress blogger unless you’ve enabled Name/URL comments. This is a known WordPress/Blogspot issue. Please consider enabling this to participate more fully in the community.
Currently reading: I’ve made good progress with Harry Potter y el misterio del príncipe (Half-Blood Prince) by J.K. Rowling. Having him finally show up at school is making me read as fast as I can because I love that setting. I’m still a long way out but I know I’ll enjoy the ride.
Not much with Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut this week. I tend to read my ebook while I’m eating lunch at work but last week was a lot of working lunches for me, just trying to get a few more minutes of work done each day!
The audio of A Clash of Kings by George R.R. Martin is still awesome. I’m doing slow but steady progress with the disks until the eaudio comes back. It makes me want to drive more!
I couldn’t stand waiting around with no audiobook on my phone so I grabbed Black Duck by Janet Taylor Lisle. My husband brought this book to my attention and thought I might like it a few months ago. It’s short, only about five hours on audio, so should make for some fun listening while I’m doing things around the house.
Recently finished: Nothing finished this week. Sad day.
However! I did post a review of Shanghai Girls by Lisa See on Monday. Go check that one out, I gave it 4 out of 5 stars.
Reading Next: I’m still hoping to start Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? by Mindy Kaling before my next book club selection. If I don’t have time, I’ll have to go straight to Norwegian by Night by Derek B. Miller. Either one will be good by me.
Leave a comment with your link and a comment (if you’re so inclined). Take a look at the other participant links in the comments and look at what others are reading.
Have any opinions on these choices?
Until next time, write on.

Thank goodness. I thought I was doing something really stupid on blogspot sites.
Anyway, glad to hear you’re making good progress with HP. I always loved the school bits most. I think that’s why I didn’t like the last one so much.
I’ve actually managed to finish a few books this week. It’s so much easier to find time to read when you don’t have to go to work 🙂 https://iwuvbooks.wordpress.com/2016/03/09/www-wednesday-9th-march-2016/

I’m tempted by audio books as I could listen to them while ironing, which might make ironing less painful! I can’t imagine how many CDs just one Game of Thrones novel would need! The narration must be great if it makes you want to spend more time driving 🙂

Good to hear you are making progress with Harry Potter Y El Misterio Del Príncipe! I have been thinking of rereading HP in Spanish as well, although I might pick up one of Carlos Ruiz Zafón’s books first. I just finished Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? the other day and it is quite an entertaining read, although I do think her other book Why Not Me? is better.
Happy reading! Here’s my WWW.

It was a bad way to end the series for me, though. No Hogwarts meant less structure for the reader and it made me uncomfortable. Rightfully so, but, I dunno, it was just really different! Happy Wednesday!
