WWW Wednesday

Well, here it is Wednesday again. It has been a long time since I have been able to join in the WWW Wednesday.  Not having any good books to read and being way to busy for one person has kept me away from blogging.  Plus my new laptop will not connect to the internet at my desk.  But three feet away at the kitchen table…… no problem! 

To play along, just answer the following three questions……

• What are you currently reading?
• What did you recently finish reading?
• What do you think you will read next?

Here are my answers:

I am currently reading:   A War of Her Own, by Sylvia Dickey Smith.  I received this through Crazy Book Tours.  I love that blog/tour site.   I have read some really great books thanks to them.This is a story of a young Texas mother during WWII.  I love WWII novels, and one with set here in the US and featuring a female main character sounded too good to pass up.  I just started last night, but I have to say the first few pages are great.  I hope that I keep that happy feeling straight through. The reviews look good, so I am optimistic. 

I recently finished:  Pray For Silence, by Linda Castillo.  This is her second book in this series, following Sworn To Silence, which follows Painters Mill Chief of Police,  Kate Burkholde as she tries to solve horrible murders in her town.   I loved both of these books, and I finished the second one in only three days!  Crime and suspense are not usually my cup of tea, but these were written well.  Pray For Silence kept me interested and turning the page.  I am liking the main characters in the stories and am glad Ms. Castillo is planning a third book.  As a side note, I don’t think I would ever LIVE in that little town.  Half the people are Amish (which is great), but for a small town half filled with pacifists, there sure are a ton of brutal murders….. I’m just saying!!!

What I plan to read next:  Okay, thankfully the book club keeps picking books that I have already read, or know I WON’T read, so next, I can choose just about anything.  It looks like I may read Speak, by Laurie Halse Anderson.  I don’t usually read young adult, but I have read some great reviews of this and thought I would give it a try.  I have the audio version from the library also, so I may be listening to this one.  OR, a friend bought, (after I practically begged her to), Confessions of a Prairie Bitch: How I Survived Nellie Oleson and Learned to Love Being Hated, by Alison Arngrim.  I know she will be done with it by the time I finish my current read.  This is something that I kept hoping would come out in an audio version.  I think it would be awesome hearing it read in her own voice.  But free is free!
