It has been quite some time since I’ve participated in any group blogging posts. Since I’ve been keeping up much better with my reading in 2024 than last year, I decided it’s time to bring back WWW Wednesdays. This is a weekly meme hosted by Sam at Taking on a World of Words. Each blogger answers three questions:

• What are you currently reading? 
• What did you most recently finish reading?
• What do you plan to read next?  

What am I currently reading?

I’m currently reading two novels. In hardback, I’m reading Night Watch by Jayne Anne Phillips. This is a post-civil war historical fiction piece taking place at a lunatic asylum in West Virginia. So far it’s been a bit difficult to really get into this one, and I’m not sure why. It’s definitely well-written but it has sort of a vague, ethereal feel that can be difficult to follow. I’m planning to buckle down and really try to focus on it in the next couple of days and see if I can get it done.

On audio, I’m reading a very atmospheric and spooky haunted house horror novel called A Good House for Children by Kate Collins. It has a real Turn of the Screw vibe that I really love. So far, I’m enjoying this one and looking forward to seeing where the slow build leads.

What did I just recently finish?

I just recently finished on audio and am working on the review for The Ocean Above Me by Kevin Sites, an exciting survival thriller about a journalist trying to stay alive while stuck in a capsized and sunken shrimping trawler at the bottom of the ocean, kept alive thanks to a small air pocket. This is a tough one, for sure. Look out for my review in the next couple of days.

What Will I Read Next?

I have a couple on deck for my next reads. The first is an audiobook I’ll read for book club, chosen as our next read by one of our members. It is The Air Raid Book Club by Annie Lyons.

In hardback I have a library copy of Stephen King’s The Outsider. This is a long one, as many King novels are. I plan to use this one for my Reading Challenge pick for a book in excess of 500 pages.

That’s it for me for this week! Feel free to drop me a line and share what you have been/are reading and what you loved and hated this week. Until next time, Happy Reading!
