WHAT ARE YOU CURRENTLY READING?
~ Since I actually finished some things last week, I get to talk about new things!
I am currently reading The Promise of Canada by Charlotte Gray. 2017 is Canada's 150th birthday, so lots of stuff will likely be coming out to commemorate that. This is the first one on my radar because I really enjoy Gray. And, this is really well done so far. I am about halfway. Then, I am reading Bad Feminist in my attempt to read some essays/short story collections on my TBR. I started this when it was new, but like normal put it aside and never got back to it. For my novel, I started Dark Matter. I am still early in, but good so far.

WHAT ARE YOU CURRENTLY LISTENING TO?
~ I am listening to Feedback by Mira Grant as my Audible audio. I listened to the rest of the series on audio, so might as well continue the trend. On Scribd I am listening to Becoming Jazz by Jazz Jennings. I have never seen the television show, but I have heard good things about the book and was curious about checking it out.

WHAT DID YOU RECENTLY FINISH READING?
~ I managed to finish a lot of stuff recently. On Monday, I finally finished Gemina. It was really good, but it took a while to get into it because I have been so moody with my reading lately. I am looking forward to the sequel. On audio, I finished What I Saw and How I Lied and Falling Free. They were both really good. Falling Free was a reread! And, then, I finally finished The Geek Feminist Revolution. I had been reading it all month and was glad I was able to finish it as the month ended.

WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU WILL READ NEXT?
~ I am still early into most of the stuff I am reading, so hard to say when I will even get a chance to read something else. I think my next Audible listen will be another book by Lois McMaster Bujold. I have some audios in my wish list for my Scribd project. I guess it depends on what catches my interest next. As to actual reading, I have some non-fiction books on my radar for NonFiction November and then there is always my TBR for the fiction choices.

WWW Wednesday is a blog feature I discovered yesterday and decided to cheat and post today because I am trying to find posts that make blogging easier. This is hosted over at Taking on a World of Words and is a way to discuss what you are reading, recent reads, and what you hope to read next. I talk about this a bit on my week in review posts, but not in the same way. We will see how this goes!

WHAT ARE YOU CURRENTLY READING?
~ I am currently in the midst of a few things. I am reading two of the books I received for my birthday, Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake and The Geek Feminist Revolution by Cameron Hurley. I have read Kendare Blake's Anna Dressed in Blood and really liked it. I was excited to see a new series by her with so much buzz, so had to grab a copy. I am really liking it so far, but just need to find some time to read more from it. Then, The Geek Feminist Revolution is my first time reading Hurley. This poor book has been in my shopping cart and then deleted several times this year, but I am excited to finally settle in with it. I have just been reading an essay here and there and it is really good so far. She has a really fun way of writing and I really need to read her fiction!

WHAT ARE YOU CURRENTLY LISTENING TO?
~ I added this in because it made more sense to me than running on forever in question one. I actually am listening to 2 audiobooks. I have Scribd and I do not like the fact that you cannot speed up the audios on the Android app, so I have not really been listening to audios. I decided to see if some short audios would work to start getting my moneys worth from the app, so I went with Brown Girl Dreaming. I listen to it on my tablet while I am in the same room and I find that the slower speed works while I am doing other things, but I always find it too slow for the treadmill. I think the conversational way the book is written helps, too. I am so glad to finally be getting to this and really am enjoying it so far! Then, for my rest of the time audio I am reading The Last Days of Magic, which Beth Fish recommended to me on Twitter. I really like the narrator, but for some reason it took me a while to get into this book. It jumps around a bit and I got lost and had to start over, so now I am only listening when I am not distracted by other things... Which is why two audiobooks this week!

WHAT DID YOU RECENTLY FINISH READING?
~ On Sunday I had a bit of a reading day and read Star Wars: Chewbecca, A Game for Swallows, and I Remember Beirut. A Game for Swallows was my favourite of the three, but I enjoyed them all. It was nice to get to some comics because I frankly have not been reading them like I normally do!

WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'LL READ NEXT?
~ That is always the question, huh? I am the worst for not sticking to my plans when I say I am going to read such and such. I think my next audio will be Black Rabbit Hall and then on Scribd Another Brooklyn to check out Woodson's other new book. In print, I have received so many books recently that it is really hard to pick! I want to read everything, so we will see how it goes!
