WWW Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Taking on a World of Words, where bloggers share the books that they’ve recently finished, what they are currently reading and what books they are planning to read next. Essentially you have to answer three questions (the Three Ws):
What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading?
What do you think you’ll read next?
So, let’s get to it.
What are you currently reading?
All of Our Demise by Amanda Foody and Christine Lynn Herman (Trade Paperback)
I just started reading All of Our Demise today, one of the most anticipated young adult releases of 2022. The sequel to last year’s epic All of Us Villains, All of Our Demise serves as the conclusion to the events of this previous book and continues to follow the unique, magical death tournament taking place. I haven’t made a lot of progress on this book yet, but the first 50 pages are pretty entertaining. The authors are doing an excellent job of continuing the complex and captivating story from the previous book, and I am already pretty hooked, especially as each of the point of view characters have their own compelling storylines. I cannot wait to see how this book turns out and I am expecting a lot of heartbreak and betrayals before All of Our Demise comes to an end.
Glacier’s Edge by R. A. Salvatore (Audiobook)
I am still going with the latest fantasy novel from R. A. Salvatore, Glacier’s Edge. The sequel to last year’s excellent Starlight Enclave, Glacier’s Edge is the second book in The Way of the Drow series, which falls into Salvatore’s larger collection of Drizzt Do’Urden books (such as Timeless, Boundless and Relentless). I am currently over halfway through this audiobook, and I am really enjoying its complex and addictive narrative. Glacier’s Edge has a pretty wide focus and is following a range of great characters that Salvatore has introduced over his career, each of whom have their own unique plot threads. Everything looks set to come together extremely well and I am very curious to see what final note Salvatore leaves everything on. It wouldn’t surprise me if there is a fun cliffhanger towards the end, especially as one of the main storylines is gearing up for a full-on Drow civil war.
What did you recently finish reading?
Blowback by James Patterson and Brendan Dubois (Trade Paperback)
I managed to finish of Blowback on the weekend, and boy was it a very fun read. Containing an impressive story about a US President who goes mad with power and decides to destroy the world, Blowback was really intense and action-packed, and I loved its entertaining and unique thriller narrative. One of the more exciting novels of 2022, this was an excellent read that you can really sink your teeth into.
Upgrade by Blake Crouch (Trade Paperback)
I also managed to get through Upgrade, the latest science fiction thriller by Blake Crouch. I had some very high expectations for this book, especially after loving Recursion, and Crouch really did not disappoint me. I loved its captivating tale about genetic engineering gone mad, and the elaborate and extremely compelling thriller narrative written around it was extremely good. I had an outstanding time with Upgrade, and it was one of the better science fiction novels I have read this year. Review to follow soon.
What do you think you’ll read next?
Dark Rooms by Lynda La Plante
Based on my current collection of books, I think that the novel I will try to check out next is Dark Rooms by leading crime fiction author Lynda La Plante. The latest book in the bestselling Tennison series (which has included awesome reads like Murder Mile, Blunt Force and Unholy Murder), Dark Rooms looks set to contain another fantastic and thrilling murder mystery which I know I will get very wrapped up in. I have no doubt that I am going to love Dark Rooms, as La Plante’ captivating writing style has never disappointed me before.
That’s it for this week, check back in next Wednesday to see what progress I’ve made on my reading and what books I’ll be looking at next.
The Unseen Library 
Some great looking books there. So many I want to read. My goal for September is Sci Fi so maybe I should look at Sci Fi Thrillers.
Have a great week!
