Welp, I almost said “Hello True Believers”! Who do I think I am, Stan Lee? Have y’all been staying safe and warm in this polar vortex? No frozen pipes? One of my neighbors forgot to turn off their sprinkler system, and, well, the sheet of ice that was their front lawn was quite the sight. 

But even in these frozen times, the books must be read! And it’s WWW Wednesday! Huzzah! WWW Wednesday is the day when we answer the three W’s: What are you currently reading? What did you recently finish reading? What do you think you’ll read next? It’s hosted by Sam at Taking on a World of Words but was previously hosted by MizB at A Daily Rhythm.

What am I currently reading?

Other Birds by Sarah Allen Addison is a quirky magical realism tale. I tried listening to the audiobook, but the Southern accents made my ears bleed, and given that this book takes place in the South, well, that is a problem. I am having a much better time since I switched to the physical book. So far it’s cute.

The Spanish Love Deception by Elena Armas is one that I started over a week ago and just haven’t finished. I am going to finish it this week! I promise…she says as if she doesn’t have twelve other books she needs to finish first.

What did you recently finish reading?

Thornhedge by T. Kingfisher is one of those books I was really hoping to love, as I really enjoyed the last book I read by her. Alas, I did not enjoy this. It was more of a vibes thing for me than anything else. The writing was good and the story had good potential, I just wasn’t feeling it. Still want to read other stuff by her though.

What do you think you’ll read next?

Horse by Geraldine Brooks is a book I know I have to read. It’s for work book club next month, so they make me read it. But if I’m the one who runs the program and picks out the books, I make me read it? So it’s my own fault? Yes…yes it is.

What are you reading right now? Inquiring minds want to know!
