what we weading wednesday
Jun. 3rd, 2026 08:26 pmI'm not sure if this is a general Dreamwidth ask game or one that
yarnofariadne came up with, but it's Wednesday and I realised that I could actually answer all of the questions right now, so decided to steal it:
What have you recently finished reading?
Mythos by Stephen Fry
A relative got me this for Christmas and I was just touched that someone in my family would care enough about me to remember that I like Greek myths. I also like to have a book that I casually read when my toddler niece is around, just so she can see people reading for fun instead of sitting on their phones - whether or not this is a fruitless effort, it is getting me to chip away at my book pile, so there is some benefit to me. This has been a good one to read a little bit at a time over the last few weeks, since it's entirely Stephen Fry describing the various Greek myths focused on the gods themselves. It was easy reading and I enjoyed it enough that I directly said to my relative that he can get me any of the other books in this series for next Christmas if he wants some present ideas.
What are you currently reading?
Animorphs book 40: The Other by K.A. Applegate
I'm just less than halfway through the next Animorphs book on my list. I don't want to talk too much about it before finishing, but it seems that the floodgates have been opened in regards to Andalites appearing on Earth now and I'm certainly not opposed to a centaur-like alien being described as being tall, buff and powerful with the horse part comparable to a Clydesdale.
What will you be reading next?
Megamorphs 4: Back to Before by K.A. Applegate
At this point in my recommended reading order for Animorphs, the series breaks off for another side-story. I have avoided looking up anything about this one, so couldn't remotely guess at what it might be about.
