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?

Hangman

Currently reading: I’m back, all! Happy to be checking in after a few weeks off. I was a little single-minded with the new baby but we’re starting to develop a routine and get back to a few things. I even managed to read some of The Hangman’s Replacement: Sprout of Disruption by Taona Dumisani Chiveneko and I think this will be the next book I finish. Here’s to hoping!
I’ve found a few minutes from time to time for The King of Crows (Diviners #4) by Libba Bray. It’s mostly while washing bottles and if I do my daily walk without my husband, but it’s something. I’m moving slowly but still really enjoying this one and looking forward to seeing how this series ends.
I find short bursts of time that are good to fill with reading The Girl with Ghost Eyes by M.H. Boroson. This book started off a lot differently than I suspected and I’m still interested to see where it goes.

Recently finished: Nothing new here this week and probably not again for a little bit, but I’m fine with the slower pace and expected it.

KellyReading next: I grabbed True History of The Kelly Gang by Peter Carey and even took it to the hospital with me. That was a bit optimistic, in retrospect, but I was basing it on how much sitting around I had at a previous visit. I hope to crack this one open soon!

    Congratulations on the new baby! That is worth sacrificing a little reading! Here is a book for your TBR that I often give at baby showers – Hungry Monkey by Mathew Amster-Burton. It’s about making your child an adventurous eater.

    I have a few days off from work (hooray) and am working on a project involving Noel Streatfeild, one of my favorite children’s authors. Here is my WWW:

    I’m impressed you’ve managed to get a bit of reading in! New mamas desperately need that time to enjoy what they love, as they are often the ones who wind up a bit neglected in the mental and emotional realm. So I’m really glad to see you’ve been able to get that time for yourself. I didn’t make much progress this week, and I don’t have a brand new baby. HA! But here’s my post anyway. WWW Wednesday.
