WWW Wednesday – 16 August 2023

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?

Never a Hero by Vanessa Len (Trade Paperback)

Never A Hero Cover

I just started reading Never a Hero by Vanessa Len today and it is already proving to be an awesome read.  The sequel to Len’s impressive debut from last year, Only a MonsterNever a Hero brings back the protagonist from the first book and forces her to face the tragic consequences of her previous time-travel antics.  I am about 100 pages into Never A Hero at the moment and I look forward to finding out what tragedy and adventure is waiting just around the corner.

The Shadow Casket by Chris Wooding (Audiobook)

The Shadow Casket Cover

I’m still getting through the massive fantasy release The Shadow Casket by Chris Wooding this week.  The sequel to his epic 2018 novel, The Ember BladeThe Shadow Casket follows a desperate band of revolutionaries as they attempt to overthrow an evil empire, while also dealing with dangerous supernatural threats.  I haven’t made as much progress this week with The Shadow Casket as I would have liked, but it is still proving to be an excellent and compelling read.  Hopefully I will get more of it knocked off in the coming week, but I think I’ll be at this one for a little while.

Dark Corners by Megan Goldin (Trade Paperback)

Dark Corners Cover

I finished off the new thriller from Australian author Megan Goldin, Dark Corners, this week.  A sequel to her previous gripping read, The Night Swim, this was a fantastic and compelling bit of crime fiction and I am hoping to review it soon.

What do you think you’ll read next?

Ripper by Shelley Burr

Ripper Cover

I am planning to dive into the fantastic Australian murder mystery Ripper by Shelley Burr this week.  The sequel to her outstanding 2022 debut, Wake, Ripper has an outstanding sounding plot to it and I cannot wait to unravel Burr’s new mystery.

Code Red by Kyle Mills

Code Red Cover

In addition, if I get the chance, I might try and quickly read the early copy of the new Mitch Rapp novel I got, Code Red.  The latest book in one of my favourite ongoing spy thriller series, Code Red sounds like an amazing read, and I am sure it will be a worthy addition to this impressive, and often over-the-top, series.
