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 continue in my endeavour to read The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas. I’ve made good, steady progress over the past couple weeks the the tune of 222 pages, though I fear this pace still won’t be enough to get it done before October. I may need to pause my reading when that month rolls around so that I can properly observe the Halloween season, which I refuse to skip. The drama and intrigue has built up considerably, as the titular Count has debuted in the aristocratic circles of Paris. His brief reunion with Mercedes was especially compelling, and it’s clear she already suspects who he really is. I wonder how long before the mask slips, if at all, and he reveals that he used to be the poor, condemned Edmond. I only wish I was better at keeping track of names; at a few points I was confused over who was who and whether somebody was supposed to be dead or not. There are just so many titles and honorifics used interchangeably with names.
I’ve read some more of Calypso by David Sedaris; I continue to enjoy it but don’t have much more to say about it.
Recently Finished
Still nothing, sadly.
Reading Next
I’m still planning to read the first volume of Absolute Martian Manhunter by Deniz Camp and Javier Rodriguez that I got from the library, especially since it’s due back soon, I just need to set aside some time for it.
Until next time, thank you for reading! Feel free to share your own post down below.
I don’t have a post but I enjoyed reading your posts – Count of Monte Cristo is on my TBR. When I’ll get to it, I don’t know. But this week when I do read, which is rarely, I’ve been reading Fortune by Amanda Smyth (2 pages to go), just finished The Reformatory by Tananarive Due https://jhohadli.com/joannes-extra-ness/blogger-on-books-xiv-2026/ – both are historical fiction; one set in Trinidad and one in Florida. i don’t know what I’ll be reading next.
Good luck with The Count of Monte Cristo and enjoy your next read!
Have a great week!

My post:
You are reading a very long book. Give yourself credit for reading such a big one. I’d count it as five books if it were up to me.

Yeah, I’m just being a bit of a sulk sometimes about all the other books I could’ve finished in this time, but I’m still happy I’m committed to getting through it.
