WWW Wednesday – August 30, 2023

www_wednesdays

WWW Wednesday is a weekly book meme run by Sam over at Taking on a World of Words. Check out her post and others over on her blog!

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

Nothing at the moment! As of this evening, I am between books.


Recently Finished

This is How You Lose the Time WarI had an anticipated amount of time to get a lot of reading done this week and got nearly to the end of This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar & Max Gladstone; I took some time this evening to finish up the last 20 pages or so before writing this post so that I could have it all finished up. I’m finding that finishing up books this much faster requires some adjustment for me, as my slower pace would give me more time to ruminate over a longer period. This novel felt like something of a whirlwind with how much I got through this week, but I really enjoyed it. I didn’t become quite as enamoured with it as I was hoping, it seems, but it did get me to tear up at some moments, which is an excellent mark in its favour. I’m still working on my Carpe Jugulum review, but I’ll try to have a review of this up soon.


Reading Next

I Wear the Black HatI’m feeling pretty committed to starting I Wear the Black Hat by Chuck Klosterman next; an essay collection will be a nice change of pace. Afterwards, I think I will read The Lost World by Michael Crichton, assuming Klosterman’s book doesn’t take me too long. I wanted to read the two Jurassic Park books this year, and there’s been enough of a buffer since the first book now, but I don’t want it to cut into Halloween reading, so it depends on how efficiently I get things done.

Until next time, thank you for reading! Feel free to share your own post down below.
