Welcome to WWW Wednesday! This meme was formerly hosted by MizB at A Daily Rhythm 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’m really focusing on The Poe Shadow by Matthew Pearl because I want to wrap it up. It’s been dragging forever and I’m really wishing it would just end.
I hoped to ignore SportsBall on Thanksgiving by reading Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson on my phone but the couch was so comfortable that I just fell asleep and didn’t get through much. I’m trying not to see this as time wasted because it was a very good nap.
I’m making progress on The Gilded Hour by Sara Donati as my husband has been very busy. When I’m home alone, I put this one while I do chores and I get through over an hour a day doing that. It’s a nice way to feel like there’s someone at home with me and still be an introvert.
It’s slower going on People of the Book by Geraldine Brooks since my class is over and I’m not driving to school every week. I’m still getting a reasonable amount of time in the car, but this will slow down a bit now that I have shorter jaunts in the car.
Recently finished: Nothing! It’s a bit of a slow week with Thanksgiving in the middle. I have a plane trip coming up and I’m hopeful I can get some more reading in while I’m in the air.
Reading Next: I still plan to tackle Before the Fall by Noah Hawley but I’m still unsure of what format to use. I can get an ebook, audiobook on CD, or physical book. I might wait for the CD and let myself enjoy some books off my shelf before the holidays. TBD but for sure reading this one!
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.

Last long plane journey I went on I took two books hoping to have time to read them. I started on and got one chapter in and couldn’t concentrate. I find it difficult to read on a plane. Hoping you finish Poe soon. Here’s my WWW – https://whisperingstories.com/wednesday-what-reading-28th-november-2018/

I found listening to audio books when home alone a bit creepy, but it’s possible choosing a book with brutal murders and evil spirits was maybe a bad idea 🙂 I think I’ll keep my audios for car journeys. Hope you enjoy your trip and your reads.

Probably didn’t help anything to be sure! I had a bad time listening to Shirley Jackson at home and not hearing my husband walk up behind me. I think my scream startled the neighbors haha. Happy reading!

Hubby, who isn’t really much of a reader, actually read Before the Fall and liked it. And that’s saying something, because he has the attention span of a fruit fly. https://teripolen.com/2018/11/28/www-wednesday-what-am-i-reading-amreading-17/

I haven’t read Before The Fall, and I haven’t checked who is the narrator, but my experience is that thrillers are usually even better as audiobooks.
