The Three Ws are:

What are you currently reading?

What did you recently finish reading?

What do you think you’ll read next?

My Current Read : 

I realized that I didn't finish the books I had on my Alphabet Soup authors list for T and V ... so I borrowed the V author from next year's plan and grabbed a book from one of her other series : Wendy Vella's Lady in Disguise. The one I got from Kindle Unlimited has a totally different cover but I like this one better as it actually matches the descriptions given of the main characters (go figure). 

Right now I'm only at 15% but I'm pretty sure it'll be done within the next 24 hours ... unless I actually manage to fall asleep and stay asleep when I get out of work in 5 1/2 hours. Even so, the little bar thingie at the bottom of my screen estimates another 3 hours and 15 minutes of reading time left so it may even be done before I get home if people behave themselves and leave me alone in hotel-land tonight. So far I'm enjoying it and I'm quite glad that I stumbled on Wendy Vella. She has a lot of books to add to my TBR and may end up being my designated V for challenge years to come if they continue to be as good as this one has started.

Recently Finished :

I started Jason Pargin's Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits just before vacation and finished it while there and it was absolutely amazing. I was tempted to just dive straight into the sequel but I didn't take it with me and it's on my 2022 Alphabet Soup plan and I don't want to have to try and find another Z title.

After that I tried, and failed, Liz Ireland's Mrs Claus and the Santaland Slayings. Hopefully someone on the hotel's housekeeping staff has better luck than I did with it because I left it behind. 

It was supposed to be my "I" for the 2021 author list but since I didn't finish it I won't count it ... which led me to The Girl in the Tree by Şebnem İşigüzel. I finished it pretty quickly thanks to not sleeping much the past few days -- and a shift of system maintenance and not much else to do but read at work. I'm still not sure how I feel about it, but the cover is rather gorgeous.

What's Next :

Since I still need a T author because I scrapped the one on my list, I'm thinking maybe perhaps possibly I'll finally read Christine Trent's Lady of Ashes. It's been on my phone for what feels like ages. Actually, it's been on my phone for longer than I've had this phone since it has been languishing away in my MoonReader. Whatever. I think the other T being a total dud was just the push I needed.
