WWW Wednesday, 10-January-2024

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?

Currently reading: I’m still working on Wolf Hall by Hillary Mantel but a few days driving into the office this week should help me wrap it up. Without the end of the year deadline looming over me, I haven’t been as motivated but I still want to finish this one!
Nothing new with Servant of the Underworld by Aliette de Bodard. This one might linger for a bit but I’ll expect once the little one comes, I’ll read it a lot more during feedings. At least that’s what I did with my first so I’m optimistic I will again.
I grabbed my copy of Más allá de la magia (Beyond the Wand) by Tom Felton and started reading it before falling asleep. I’m enjoying the bit I’ve ready so far. I like Felton’s casual tone and I’m looking forward to learning more about his years on Potter.

Recently finished: I was able to wrap up The Puzzler by A.J. Jacobs faster than I expected. The last 100 or so pages were a puzzle competition and the answers to the puzzles that appeared throughout the book. I skimmed through both but I’m not super interested in either one. I liked that they were there, but I’m not really the perfect audience for that. I struggled with a rating on this one, but I think I’m going to settle on Three out of Five Stars. There were just some things missing for me from an author I normally adore.

Reading next: It’s looking like an audiobook is next up for me. I’m waffling between two. If I was going strictly by the order of my TBR (which I normally do), next up would be Saints and Misfits by S.K. Ali. Not a choice I’m mad at in any way, mind you!
However, I had some Google Play credit that was expiring and I spent it on an audiobook. So I’m very tempted to pick up Choosing to Run by Des Linden instead. It’s one I know I’ll get to either way, but having bought it so recently it’s top of mind.

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.
