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’ve made good progress with Eastbound from Flagstaff by Annette Valentine. The character just moved to Detroit so I’m excited to see my home town represented in a book. Obviously, I wasn’t alive and living in the same area at the time but it’s still fun to see.
I’m enjoying My Drunk Kitchen by Hannah Hart during my lunches though I don’t think I’d classify it at all as a cookbook. Her recipes are simplified versions of the things she’s made on her channel and I’m enjoying the parts about her life and how she grew her fame with the channel and her show more. I can see her humor in this part more.
I’m listening to Caveat Emptor by Ruth Downie on audio and enjoying it as I knew I would. I’ve loved this series so far and I’m looking forward to seeing what else Russo gets up to in this one now that he’s back in Britannia.
Recently finished: I finished Beautiful Ruins by Jess Walter and I really enjoyed it. I’m glad Walter wrapped it up as well as she did. The story was well crafted and the writing was good. I liked certain characters more than others, but there were enough that I liked that I could still enjoy each plotline.
I posted my review of We Sold Our Souls by Grady Hendrix on Friday. It was an enjoyable fall book, though I’m still pretty sure horror isn’t a good genre for me. I still gave it Four out of Five stars.
Reading Next: I haven’t decided what I’ll read next. I need one more book for a reading challenge and I’m thinking of doing a buddy read and there are a few other considerations I have that are keeping me from making a decision. Maybe I’ll have an idea come next week.
Leave a comment with your link and 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.

Taking On a World of Words 
I seem to be reading a lot of cook books at the moment so I like the sound of My Drunk Kitchen even if it’s not necessarily that practical.
What’s the challenge you need a book to fill?

I’m glad you enjoyed the books you finished this week. I have quite a few reading challenges I need to read books for, including the one you host! I need to spend a bit of time working out which challenges I can realistically complete and plan my reading for the rest of the year accordingly.

Same. Though I’m in a pretty good place since I only need one more for my challenge and I finished my Goodreads challenge! Happy reading.

Well done! My trouble is I get tempted to sign up for challenges – optimism outweighs realism 😀

I remember thinking Beautiful Ruin was crazy romantic! And My Drunk Kitchen sounds like a lot of fun.
I have a fascinating (if not altogether satisfying) memoir and a cozy little mystery this week.

I don’t think I would have described it as crazy romantic, but it had very romantic elements and a very dream-like feel to it. Happy reading!

I’m sorry. I should have been clearer. “Crazy” is my lazy slang for “very,” which is the exact word you used. My bad for slipping into vernacular.
