WWW WEDNESDAYS… is a weekly meme hosted by Should Be Reading, where you share:

(1)What you’re currently reading, (2)What you recently finished reading, and (3)What you think you’ll read next.

As I am only contributing to this meme on a monthly basis, while comments and shares are welcomed here, be sure to visit Should Be Reading each week to see who’s reading what.

1. What am I currently reading?

For some reason I got to the halfway point of Firelight and just stopped. The book has been pretty good so far, but I guess I just put it down one day and forgot about it. So, I've picked it back up and hope to finish it shortly. Also, I realized that I never mention the comic books I'm reading, but because there are so many, I will only mention one at time.

3. What do I think I’ll read next?

I haven't actually started anything new yet. I've been a little more busy than expected so this stays the same, but I'm thinking of adding some classic fairy tales to the list.

Teaser Tuesdays 05

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers.

My teaser: Christine was somewhat heartened by the fact that Isaacson didn’t seem ready to dismiss her entirely despite her performance. She could only guess that he appreciated her honesty.

My teaser: After two thousand years of this, most people had grown a little jaded regarding the prospect of an imminent Armageddon. Predictions of The End became so common by the dawn of the third millennium that homeowners no longer thought twice about installing new flooring weeks or even days before a scheduled Apocalypse.

My teaser: Of course, it would probably take decades of global martial law with me as Maximum Leader to get all of the sign-offs and approvals necessary to fully reverse the debt. But I was just playing for time.

WWW WEDNESDAYS… is a weekly meme hosted by Should Be Reading, where you share (1)What you’re currently reading, (2)What you recently finished reading, and (3)What you think you’ll read next.

Comments and shares are welcomed here, but please try to share with Should be Reading as this is their meme.

1. What are you currently reading? I’m stuck in a rut when it comes to Childhood’s End  by Author C. Clark and Down the Line by David More (a short read) even though they are both good stories. I am enjoying Year Zero by Rob Reid and have just started City of Bones by Cassandra Clare.

2. What did you recently finish reading? The Perfects by Wendy Reaks and Coke With a Twist by A.W.Hartoin.

3. What do you think you’ll read next? This is an ever changing thought though I’m looking at several books I’ve been meaning to read. Next I plan to finally pick up my new copy of Seraphina, though I don’t know when that will be, since I’m still busy with many beta reads.

My teaser: My birthday had passed a few days back without a call from any of my older brothers. It would be typical of them to forget—but even more typical of them to pretend to forget, and then ambush me with a wildly inappropriate birthday greeting at my stodgy New York law office.
