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 moved forward a bit in Becoming Madame Mao by Anchee Min. I had a lot of coworkers in the office who aren’t normally there and that meant a lot of catching up. Usually, that happens during lunch, unfortunately. Still slow going but the book’s made a big shift in a positive direction.
I’m being positive about finishing A Storm of Swords by George R.R. Martin before I have to renew it again. I’m on disk 32! I can do it. Only a normal length book to go!
I had all the intentions of reading a lot of A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers this weekend, but that didn’t pay off as much as I’d like. I think I’ll finish it this week, but that might be wishful thinking again. It’s just hit a slow point for me and I’m having trouble moving forward.
I’ll be finishing up Being Mortal by Atul Gawande soon. I’m mostly recovered from my injury which means I’m ready to start biking indoors and running again which means more time listening to eaudio. I’m optimistic that this one will be done next week.
My husband and I made more progress on Good Morning, Midnight by Lily Brooks-Dalton over the weekend. It could have been better, but I kept falling asleep. Fail. We’ll keep pecking away at it while we do a lot of driving vacations this summer.
Recently finished: Nothing for a second week. Big bummer here, I thought I’d have something to report.
I did manage to post my review of Wolf’s Mouth by John Smolens. Having one thing done still feels good! It went up on Monday.
Reading Next: I picked up The Map of Time by Félix Palma from the library and I’m a bit overwhelmed. It’s over 600 pages! It’s quite hefty and I’m excited about the premise, but now also nervous about finding time to read the whole thing. Wowza!

Taking On a World of Words 
I certainly wish you luck in fitting in a 600 page book alongside everything else you’re reading! I’ll confess long books rather put me off these days although I used to devour them when I was younger.

If I can find a weekend with little going on, I could devour it. I just done have many of those. Happy reading!

Glad to hear you’ve almost managed to get rid of that injury. It always drives me nuts when I feel like I’m restricted. Hopefully now you can get back to normal (physical activity & reading wise). I am kind of curious about The Map of Time. It sounds like an intriguing story but was just looking at some of the reviews and they are decidedly mixed. Hopefully it’ll work for you.

I hope you’re able to finish some books soon! I’ve been kind of in a reading slump for the last month and a half, so I haven’t been reading as much or finishing as many books as I hoped.

Glad to see you enjoyed Wolf’s Mouth! Sounds like a really good read. I wish my book club had some “wins” like that. xD We seem to be stuck in a series of duds. Wow, I didn’t realize The Map of Time was so long! You sure take on a lot of longer reads, which I’m impressed by because I always find them daunting and have to stick them between shorter reads to convince myself it’ll be fine haha.
Here’s my WWW post.

I’m so glad you’re almost recovered! I requested and received a copy of The Map of Time at the library and immediately returned it – it is HUGE. I will try it again when I have a little more ability to stick to my reading plan. I am having a hard time finishing anything lately so I know I will not complete that huge book. Have a great week!
