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?
The Golden Enclaves by Naomi Novik (Trade Paperback)
After receiving a copy of this book last week there was no way I wasn’t immediately going to start reading The Golden Enclaves by Naomi Novik. The epic sequel to A Deadly Education and The Last Graduate, The Golden Enclaves is one of my most anticipated novels of 2022, especially after the epic cliff-hanger Novik left at the end of The Last Graduate. I am about 50 pages into The Golden Enclaves and it is so far opening up some intriguing storylines. I can’t wait to see how this complex and brilliant fantasy trilogy comes to an end and I have no doubt that The Golden Enclaves is going to be one of the absolute best novels of 2022.
The Bullet that Missed by Richard Osman (Audiobook)
Another must read novel I managed to start this week was The Bullet That Missed by Richard Osman. The third book in his awesome Thursday Murder Club series, The Bullet That Missed follows on from The Thursday Murder Club and The Man Who Died Twice, both of which were incredible reads. This new book follows the titular Thursday Murder Club, four unusual retirees with a talent for solving crimes, as they investigate another compelling murder. Loaded with amazing humour, an excellent mystery and some sensational characters, The Bullet That Missed is another top book of 2022 that I am having an epic time listening to.
What did you recently finish reading?
Act of Oblivion by Robert Harris (Trade Paperback)
An outstanding novel that follows the hunt for two of the men responsible for the execution of King Charles I as they flee to the American colonies to escape the British. I had a blast reading Act of Oblivion and it was an excellent and captivating novel with a fascinating historical story behind it. One of the most intriguing novels of the year, this book comes highly recommended.
Warhammer 40,000: Outgunned by Denny Flowers (audiobook)
I managed to knock off the incredible Warhammer 40,000 audiobook, Outgunned by Denny Flowers this week, and it was pretty amazing. The second novel from Flowers (he wrote the excellent Fire Made Flesh last year) this was an exceptional Warhammer book that had a deeply impressive plot to it. A must-read for all Warhammer fanatics.
Oath of Loyalty by Kyle Mills (Audiobook)
I also managed to start and finish that latest epic Mitch Rapp novel this week with Oath of Loyalty by Kyle Mills. Following on from some of the storylines set up in the previous books Red War, Lethal Agent, Total Power and Enemy at the Gates, Oath of Loyalty saw badass protagonist Mitch Rapp step up to a corrupt president, who sets a deadly group of assassins to hunt down everyone he loves. This was another amazing and compelling spy thriller adventure and I really loved how everything turned out. A fantastic and very fun read.
What do you think you’ll read next?
Star Wars: The Princess and the Scoundrel by Beth Revis
I have several great books to check out next, but the one I think I’ll try hardest to read is the new Star Wars release, The Princess and the Scoundrel. I was hoping to get to it this week, but got distracted by a few other books I got my hands on. Still, I think I will try even harder to make this book a priority for the next week as I have heard some excellent stuff about this book, and I am very excited to get to grips with a novel that explores the relationship between Han Solo and Princess Leia in the current Star Wars canon. Set to feature both their wedding and their turbulent honeymoon, this is a must-read for all Star Wars fans, and I know I intend to read it as soon as I can.
In the next week I am hoping to finally read the new Anthony Ryan book, The Martyr, which was one of my most anticipated books of the year. The sequel to the impressive 2021 novel, The Pariah, The Martyr looks set to continue the brilliant fantasy adventure about a young bandit turned scribe who finds his fate bound to multiple inspirational people in this cool fantasy realm. This new book will see him continue to follow a living saint as she goes to war against her nation’s church and crown. I cannot wait to read this exceptional novel and I know I am going to deeply, deeply enjoy it.
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.
