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
I’m still in the middle of reading A Closed and Common Orbit by Becky Chambers, though I’m within the final 100 pages, so I’m hoping I can get it done this week. It’s a solid novel so far, I am really liking it, though it’s still hard not to compare it to the first one and how much I liked it. However, this novel has given me a bone to pick with the crew of the first novel, though I’m inclined to hold back a little because the totality of their rationale is not fresh in my mind. Nevertheless, I really think the crew of the Wayfarer did Sidra dirty by sending her off in the kit. I get that they were grieving the loss of Lovey, but couldn’t they have modded Lovelace (Sidra) to have a difference voice? She’s ostensibly a new person and the ship is going to need a new AI anyway, surely, so why did they send this poor being off in a body she didn’t want, that she struggles to feel comfortable in on a daily basis? I’m really hoping this novel addresses this problem eventually, because it’s honestly an elephant in the room and they need to be held accountable at least a little.
Recently Finished
Nothing this week. Work has been rather busy and I’ve been singularly focused on what I’m still currently reading.
Reading Next
No new plans this week, and I’m still planning to start The Myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camus next. This is normally a week I would perhaps skip, but I had a lot to say about what I’m currently reading.
Until next time, thank you for reading! Feel free to share your own post down below.
