It’s time for WWW Wednesday! This blog hop is hosted by Sam over at A World Of Words. Link up with us by commenting on Sam’s post for this week, and just answer the three questions.
What have you recently finished reading?
Finished two books this week! The first was The Disappearance of Ember Crow by Ambelin Kwaymullina. It was kind of text book definition of a 3-star read – there was absolutely nothing wrong with it and I enjoyed it but that was as strong as my reaction got.
I also finished Frogkisser! by Garth Nix, which was cute and definitely picked up in the last quarter, but I think it is better suited to its middle-grade audience and doesn’t quite transcend that. At least in my opinion.
I also posted my review of A Semi-Definitive List of Nightmares by Krystal Sutherland over here.
What are you currently reading?
I’ve just started an ARC of A Dangerous Language by Sulari Gentill. It’s actually the eighth book in the Rowland Sinclair mystery series, but I’m hoping they stand alone enough that I won’t have too much trouble following it. I haven’t read anything by this author before, but I did hear her speak at the Canberra Writer’s Festival, so when I saw this ARC available on Netgalley, I thought I would check it out. When I say I’ve just started, I mean I am literally about 2% in or something, so I’ll say more about this one next week.
I am also reading The Invisible Man by H. G. Wells via the Serial Reader app. The aim of this app is to deliver a bite-size portion of a classic book (10-20 minutes of reading) to your device each day. I’m hoping I might read a few classics this way. If I like it I will upgrade to the paid version, which lets you get more than one issue a day if you are keen. Also it has badges and achievements, which I am all about.
What do you think you’ll read next?
I still have The Foretelling of Georgie Spider, also by Ambelin Kwaymullina from the library, and I imagine it will be quite a quick read like the first two books in the series. I also have an ARC of Life is Like a Musical by Tim Federele, which seemed appropriate for a musical theatre nerd like me. That one releases on October 3, so I do need to read it fairly soon, too.
What are you reading this week? 🙂
A Keyboard and an Open Mind 
Serial Reader sounds like a really neat idea, a good way to get through books you might otherwise struggle with I should think. And badges is a bonus! Hope you enjoy The Invisible Man in bite sized chunks…

I use the Serial Reader app on my phone. (I upgraded to the premium version.) I get a sense of accomplishment from using it (more reading done!) and am tackling some of the classics I never had a chance to get to before now.

What was the Canberra Writers Festival like? I have a real soft spot for Canberra but found out about this festival too late.

I really enjoyed it. It’s only over a weekend, so a lot shorter than the bigger ones in Sydney or Melbourne, but they pack a lot into the short time. I didn’t get to see a huge number of things, but I wrote a post over on my writing blog about the sessions I did attend if you want to read it.
