The three ‘W’s are what are you reading now, what have you recently finished reading, and what are you going to read next, and you can find this week’s post at the host’s blog here if you want to check out other posts.
What are you currently reading?
I’m partway through Sarah Rees Brennan’s In Other Lands. I haven’t enjoyed her work that much before, but this one is working quite well for me. I love the main character’s snark and how he uses it in self-defence, and also the commentaries on the genre (because of course).
What have you recently finished reading?
I haven’t actually been reading very much in the past week or so. Suddenly got all tired and had to focus on just getting work done! The last thing I read was Heroine Complex, by Sarah Kuhn; enjoyable in many ways, but I just didn’t want to stay with the main character given the running joke about her being dead inside.
What will you be reading next?
I don’t know yet! Per my “sell me a book” promise, my next fiction book will be David D. Levine’s Arabella of Mars, but I’m tempted to read Siddhartha Mukherjee’s The Emperor of All Maladies first. I’ve been doing a lot of transcription work involving stuff about cancer, and I feel like knowing more about it — from a less clinical point of view, perhaps, since this has all been about clinical trials and five year survival rates.
So what are you reading, folks?
I’m catching up on novellas this week, so I’ve romped through All Systems Red, River of Teeth and the most recent Lychford novella so far – and now I’m reading J Y Yang’s Tensorate novellas, which are making a good first impression!
I’ll be curious to hear about Arabella in due course (that one tempted me but I’ve not picked it up; but I enjoyed his award-nominated short story Damage last year). As for Heroine Complex, ugggggghhhhhhh. I just read your review and life is too short to put up with that.

I need to read the Tensorate books! And the Lychford novella… And a couple of other Tor novellas, actually. Aaaaah.
I have friends who are very enthusiastic about it, so I’m looking forward to it!
So far so very good 🙂

Thanks! 🙂
I can’t decide what to read next…too many choices in too many book challenges to pick from!

I know that feeling!
I’ve not heard of any of your current reads, but that’s not surprising as I’m not a follower of sci-fi 😉 Enjoy your books this week!
Thanks for visiting my WWW earlier! https://bookboodle.co.uk/2018/01/10/www-wednesday-january-10th
Well, only one of them is really sci-fi anyway. 🙂
