27 Dec

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 made a commendable push with Wolf Hall by Hillary Mantel in my days off before the holidays I’m over 2/3 done now, but it doesn’t look like I’ll quite finish. I expect to wrap up in early 2024 so I’ll be ahead on my reading for next year!
No movement with The Puzzler by A.J. Jacobs this week but my hold did renew so I’ll have it to read soon!
I’m just starting to make progress on Servant of the Underworld by Aliette de Bodard. I started focusing on this when I finished my physical book but it will be a big push to wrap it up in time for the new year.

Recently finished: I finished a book! I wrapped up All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque earlier this week and it feels so good to have finished something! I was convinced I wouldn’t have time to read during this holiday break so I’m extatic to have done so. Review forthcoming! Probably next year. One small win at a time.

Reading next: I can’t believe it’s finally time to think about a ‘next up’ book. Though I don’t think I’m ready. I’ll wait one more week until I pick something.

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.

    Well done for finishing All Quiet on the Western Front. At least that’s another time period ticked off on your challenge. I hope that you enjoyed it. I remember that it stayed in my head for a long while after I read it. My WWW post for this week is here https://witchyreading.wordpress.com/2023/12/27/www-wednesday-december-27/

    I commend you making ANY progress with your reading over Christmas. I probably managed a chapter, if that. I also have a stack of reviews to write. Hoping for a lovely catch-up day soon.

    I remember reading All Quiet at school. I wonder if it’s worth a revisit. I’m looking forward to your review.

    Looks like you’ve had a fab bookish week! Will there be a new When Are You Reading? Challenge for 2024? It’s one of my favourite challenges, although sometimes it does gets a bit tricky finding the books! 😂 Here’s my link for this week:

    Ahh, I do enjoy Aliette de Bodard’s work. That’s the Aztec-inspired trilogy, right? Hope you enjoy it!
