The Three Ws are:

What did you recently finish reading?

What are you currently reading?

What do you think you’ll read next?

Recently Finished : 

The Hangman's Curse by Sharyn McCrumb -- The second of McCrumb's Ballad novels and the introduction of my favorite character, Nora Bonesteel.  I did a random ramble about it on Thursday. 

Front Page Murder by Joyce St Anthony -- A great start to a new series set during World War II with a young female newspaper editor as the lead. It's being released on March 8th and was the most recent Book Beginnings & Friday 56 post.

Half A Soul by Olivia Atwater -- I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this one. It's a Regency faerie tale with a spitfire heroine .... and a horrible last paragraph. It kept me up late and was this week's I'll Sleep When I've Read... pick.

If You Ask Me by Libby Hubscher -- I'm participating in the release tour for this so my post will go up on March 6th. It's not at all my typical kind of read, but I loved it anyway.

A Spoonful of Murder by Robin Stevens -- The sixth installment of my favorite middle grade mystery series .... and one of my favorite mystery series regardless of age. From the very beginning of the series I have laid claim to Hazel Wong as my spirit animal .... and this book introduced her little sister May Wong who wants to be a pirate queen and is getting a spin-off series of her own by the end of the year. I'm sorry, Hazel. Truly. I think your sister May may win. In the meantime, though, there are still a few more books and several short stories to get through for the Murder Most Unladylike series. This one was used for yesterday's Tuesday Intros & Teaser Tuesday post.

Currently Reading:

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie

Description from Amazon:

Roger Ackroyd knew too much. He knew that the woman he loved had poisoned her brutal first husband. He suspected also that someone had been blackmailing her. Then, tragically, came the news that she had taken her own life with an apparent drug overdose.

However, the evening post brought Roger one last fatal scrap of information, but before he could finish reading the letter, he was stabbed to death. Luckily one of Roger’s friends and the newest resident to retire to this normally quiet village takes over—none other than Monsieur Hercule Poirot . . .

What's Next?

Either the next Lily Adler book, Silence in the Library, or India Holton's The League of Gentlewomen Witches. It will very likely come down to an eenie-meenie-minie-moe when it's time to decide. I was going to try and hold off on the Holton until my upcoming rescheduled trip ... but I was begging for a copy for what felt like eons and now that I finally have it I really don't think I want to wait any longer. The only reason it's not my "Currently Reading" is because I didn't have my Kindle with me when I finished the Robin Stevens book ... but I did have the Christie in my bag because, well, I always have the next Christie in my bag.
