WWW Wednesdays

Over at Should be Reading, MizB hosts WWW… WEDNESDAYS and asks readers to just answer the following 3 questions:

1. What are you currently reading?
2. What did you recently finish reading?
3. What do you think you’ll read next?

So here are my answers.

1. I'm actually in the middle of several books. The book at my side is The Ghost and the Haunted Mansion by Alice Kimberly. This is the fifth book in her Haunted Bookshop Mysteries. It's the latest in the series, but I did find a reference on the Internet saying that a sixth is in the works. I started this book this morning and I'm only on page 10. (A gal has got to work, you know!) Also, I have the CDs from Alexander McCall Smith's The Lost Art of Gratitude. I'm on the last disk, track 9, so don't have much more to listen to before I've finished it. Back at home, I have one more in-progress book: Bridge of Birds by Barry Hughart. I think I'm about ½ way through it, and I need to finish reading it by the beginning of May so I can mail it to a fellow BookCrosser.

2. Late last night, I finished reading Tulip Fever by Deborah Moggach. I really enjoyed this book, so I am hard pressed to explain why it took me so long to read it. I got about 2/3 of the way through it and then set it aside and went on a binge reading paranormal books.

3. Next up—after I finish reading Bridge of Birds—is Gilgamesh by Joan London. I'm looking forward to it; both because of the historical perspective and the setting in Australia. I bought the book specifically to use in a ‘Debut Novel’ swap at BookObsessed. When I'm done, I'll be mailing off to a fellow reader who won it in the swap.
