Sam from Taking on a World of Words is back from her vacation! If you are curious about what she read for the past few weeks make sure and check out her site! If you want to participate, simply answer three questions: What are you currently reading, what did you just finish and what do you plan to read next. Or, if you are into chronology (like myself) you will go in order.
What Did I Just Finish Reading?
Ummm….not much. The upside of reading lots of books at the same time is that some weeks you finish 10 and other weeks you finish a measly little two. This week was a small finish for me with only Black Panther, The Young Prince by Ronald L. Smith and Dr. Strange Beard by Penny Reid landing in my finish pile.
What am I currently Reading?
Oh Lord. Look what I have done. I am still working through The Two Towers and I started Daughter of the Pirate King and The Last Unicorn. I have had an erratic schedule this week and that means books all over everywhere and audiobooks in between. So, I have Homey Don’t Play That running while I commute and exercise and Hans Christen Andersen’s Fairytales playing while I clean, fold laundry, etc. I lost track of The Sandman for a few days and relocated it yesterday morning so that should be finished soon. As for the rest, we shall see what the schedule allows!
What Will I Read Next?
The only book I know for certain I will be reading next is Front Cover, Great Book Jackets and Cover Design by Alan Powers. We all know we shouldn’t judge a book by its cover but we all do it anyway. This book goes through the history of the art that catches our eye.
Tell me, please!
What’s on your WWW list?
Silver Button Books 
I guess you do love to read multiple books at once. I can read up to three separate books at once, but after that it becomes a bit too much. I’m glad to see LOR on your list. I’m embarrassed that I have not read that myself. Here is my WWW Wednesdays post: https://greatmorrisonmigration.wordpress.com/2018/08/08/www-wednesdays-august-8-2018/

It happens (typically) by accident. This week I lost track of one book, put another in a super safe place that I couldn’t remember and carpooled with someone who didn’t want to listen to a book mid-story. I’m ok as long as I take a second to remember where I am in the story but I don’t get that same transported feeling I do when I am immersed in one single book. Thanks for stopping by – heading to your WWW now!

Front Cover looks interesting. I like how you get your books in while doing other things. Someday I might have to try audiiobooks!
Thanks for sharing…and for visiting my blog.

I’m fairly new to audiobooks and they do take some time to adjust. A friend recommended I listen to one that I had already read to practice and that worked. After that, I was hooked. Although, I am VERY picky about the narrator. Thank YOU for stopping by here!

Haha, is it too predictable to say I love the cover of Front Cover! Actually, I think you definitely can judge a book by its cover – both in a good and bad way. I do sometimes feel indie authors especially would do well to invest a bit more on the cover of their book.

I completely agree about indie authors! It makes the book look (sadly) cheap sometimes. I’m intrigued by the history and evolution of covers as well. I’ll let you know how it goes!

So you are reading 6 books now? HOW? 😲

Well, to be fair, one is a graphic novel, two are audiobooks (one of which is a children’s short story collection) so only three are books. It looks more impressive lumped together. Or, crazy. I certainly feel crazy this time of year! August not my favorite weather month.

Still 3 books, I can’t read more than one book, I tried once but it wasn’t a good experience.

I’m not doing well with it if that is any help. I don’t usually struggle this much and I can’t tell if it is the books or how my week is going.

Magical or insane? Hah! Thanks for the compliment. It is just a product of disorganization. Hopefully I will finish them all and then have a clean single book for next week.

I’m really excited that you’re reading Sandman. How are you finding Preludes and Nocturnes so far?

I am loving it. I am waiting for the second book to come in at the library because I feel like I am going to want to go directly from book one to book two.

I love the idea of a book devoted to cover art! So influential. I mean, all of us are guilty of judging books by their cover, aren’t we?

Every time I see the cover for Dr. Strange Beard it intrigues me. I’ve been wanting to pickup Daughter of the Pirate King. So many people seem to really like that series.

Apologies for being late. You have some great choices of books. Not heard of Front Cover before, but it looks really good.
