WWW Wednesday: April 29, 2026

I’ve not been around the blogosphere much because we had family in town last weekend. So I was pretty booked up and didn’t even have much time for reading! And after they left we started turning our house into a mess because we’re having hardwood flooring installed upstairs. So most of what’s currently upstairs has to come downstairs. It’s going to be pretty crowded on our lower level for a couple of weeks! Anyway, on to WWW Wednesday…

WWW Wednesday was revived and hosted by Sam at Taking on a World of Words. The idea is to answer the three questions below and leave a link to your post in the comments for others to look at. No blog? No problem! Just leave a comment with your responses.

What are you currently reading?

What have you just finished reading?

What are you going to read next?
