Currently reading: I actually read a chapter in The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss! Having the physical copy made a big difference. In fact, I read it when I really should have been prioritizing books for my Buddy Reads. So maybe too good?
We’ve moved to the fifth section of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab. I’m just wrapping it up and I hope we can meet soon so we can keep talking about it and finish this book!
I’m moving slowly through Seeing Sideways by Kristin Hersh. It’s not a style I particularly enjoy which is hard. It means I’m not optimistic that I’ll like it more as it goes on. Though I’ll try!
I haven’t done much running this week and I haven’t done much listening to How to Find Your Way in the Dark by Derek B. Miller. Though a drive into the office yesterday did help!

Recently finished: Nothing new this week. Though I did write my review of Broken (in the best possible way) by Jenny Lawson on Monday so please consider checking that out!

Reading next: It seems likely I’ll need to grab a physical book next. I’m trying to read through my own backlog and I think I’ll grab Splash! by Howard Means. It seems appropriate for the summer!

Currently reading: I have a plan to finish The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. I got the physical book again from the library. With all the on-again-off-again of my Buddy Reads, I’m going to come to this inbetween. When one of them wraps up, I’ll grab something else, but I want to keep moving forward here.
I’m working through the next section of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab after my Reading Buddy and I met last Thursday. We had such a cliffhanger that we were both excited to get started on this one again!
Second Reading Buddy and I got through the first section of Seeing Sideways by Kristin Hersh and met on Monday evening. I’m glad I have someone else to read this with because I tend to struggle with very poetic prose. I struggle to slow down and read with emotions. Reading Buddys are so helpful.
I was able to start the audio for How to Find Your Way in the Dark by Derek B. Miller. I was so relieved no one had checked it out right before I needed it! It’s fun to be reading Miller again.

Recently finished: I was able to wrap up Scene & Structure by Jack M. Bickham before it was due back to the library! I’m glad I read this one and I was able to write a review and post it yesterday. Please let me know your thoughts! I gave it Three out of Five Stars.
I finished Broken (in the best possible way) by Jenny Lawson during my Saturday morning run and it feels so good! It’s been a long time since I’ve had two books here and finishing the second in a week was such a relief. It was great to read something funny that kept me laughing, too. I enjoy getting a laugh from Lawson.

Reading next: I’m going to take a break from looking into the future this week. I’ve got a lot of books in the works or newly started and thinking of even more to come is too much right now!

Currently reading: Slow going again on The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. I really like this one, but it’s long! I’ll get through it eventually and I’ll keep enjoying it, I’m sure.
I flew through the next section of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab! I had predicted what happened but it was still exciting to see it happen. Reading Buddy and I meet tomorrow to talk about it and I’m excited to hear her thoughts.
I’m still moving well through Broken (in the best possible way) by Jenny Lawson and I think it’s reasonable to say I’ll finish it this next week. I’m running again which is giving me good time for it. Just hoping the weather stays nice!
I’m on the last push of Scene & Structure by Jack M. Bickham! I’m optimistic this one will be finished by next week as well!
Because I can’t stop, I started co-reading with another friend. We’re picking up Seeing Sideways by Kristin Hersh after hearing her speak recently. We both have toddlers so reading a book about motherhood seemed perfect!

Recently finished: Next week… next week.

Reading next: I feel silly talking about yet another book with how many I have going. For audio, I’ll grab How to Find Your Way in the Dark by Derek B. Miller. It seems forever away, but I think it’s closer than I expect.

Currently reading: I switched back to a digital copy of The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss and was glad to get my hold renewed again! I’m about three quarters done with it and making some steady progress so I will remain optimistic on this one and finishing within the year (preferably this summer).
Reading Buddy and I met yesterday to talk about the second section of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab. I’m back into hitting this one hard! Love the mystery of what’s going on and with what just happened in this section, I think we’re in for some major action soon!
I’ve hit half way through Broken (in the best possible way) by Jenny Lawson and the laughs keep rolling in. It’s fun to have a comedy and nice to have one I can pick up and put down a bit more as I need to. The chapters are completely independent so if I zone out a bit, I can come back in fully caught up quickly.
I’ made a big push with Scene & Structure by Jack M. Bickham before my Reading Buddy and I met yesterday but I still have a little bit to wrap up before I finish this one and get it back to the library. It’s so nice to have a short book for once!

Recently finished: Yet again I’m blank here. I think I can have one next week, though!

Reading next: Because I’m still thinking of picking up yet another print book with Seeing Sideways by Kristin Hersh. There’s no such thing as too many read-alongs, right?
I also need to start planning for another audiobook. I think it’s going to be How to Find Your Way in the Dark by Derek B. Miller. Of the three Miller books I’ve read, I liked two and was ‘Meh’ on a third. So I’m optimistic here!

REAL QUICK! If you haven’t heard, I’m running the When Are You Reading? Challenge for the tenth year! Please consider joining in for this landmark year!

Currently reading: I’m on vacation this week and I brought Sophie’s Choice by William Styron with me, hoping I’d focus on it and can finally finish it out! On a related note, please forgive me for delayed responses due to limited internet access.
I”m hoping to find time to enjoy Any Way the Wind Blows (Simon Snow #3) by Rainbow Rowell while we’re relaxing. I’m really liking this book and want to spend my time with it so I suspect I’ll find some pockets of time to plug in.
I’ve really enjoyed Ready Player Two by Ernest Cline so far. I think this will be another fast ebook for me. It’s not as good at the first one (is the sequel ever?) but it’s still a fun ride.

Recently finished: Nothing this week. I’m not surprised after how epic my final week of 2022 was. I’ve got three reviews in process that I’ll get to when I’m back home so be ready for a flood of my opinion!

Reading next: I downloaded Mexican White Boy by Matt de la Peña to my phone so I’ll have it on vacation if I finish my audiobook and need another.
I also added another ebook to my phone in anticipation of a lot of reading time on vacation. There were a lot of books I wanted with holds on them so I went a bit down my list and grabbed How to Find Your Way in the Dark by Derek B. Miller. I’ve loved some of Miller’s books and been less than impressed with others. I’m hoping this one is one I enjoy! (Also, love the similarities between this cover and Cline’s.)
