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:
Everyone on this Train is a Suspect by Benjamin Stevenson (Trade Paperback)
I started reading the awesome and hilarious new novel from Australian author Benjamin Stevenson, Everyone on this Train is a Suspect. The impressive sequel to Everyone in my Family has Killed Someone, Everyone on this Train is a Suspect sees the hapless protagonist forced to solve murders at a mystery writers convention on a train where all the participants are suspects capable of getting away with murder. Compelling, unique and fun homage to the various murder mystery sub-genres, this is a great book and I am hoping to knock it off in the next few days.
Murtagh by Christopher Paolini (Audiobook)
I am started listening to the new Christopher Paolini novel, Murtagh, which I have been looking forward to for ages. The sequel to Paolini’s iconic Inheritance Cycle (a series I have a lot of love for), Murtagh follows the exploits of the damaged dragon rider Murtagh a year after being freed from the control of his evil lord. Murtagh was one of my most anticipated books for the second half of 2023 and it is proving to be an excellent novel, providing a compelling expansion to Paolini’s original awesome fantasy series.

Warhammer 40,000: Creed: Ashes of Cadia by Jude Reid (Audiobook)
I managed to knock off the latest Warhammer 40,000 audiobook, Creed: Ashes of Cadia by Jude Reid this week. Ashes of Cadia was an excellent and action-packed novel that focused on a damaged protagonist returning to her destroyed home planet. An excellent and compelling book, I’m hoping to get a review up for it soon.
Saevus Corax Deals with the Dead by K. J. Parker (Paperback)
A clever and hilarious fantasy novel that saw a talented battlefield looter get dragged into world-changing events against his will. Easily one of the most amusing novels of 2023, this book comes highly recommended.
What do you think you’ll read next?
House of Open Wounds by Adrian Tchaikovsky
If I get the chance in the next week I’ll probably start reading the next awesome novel from Adrian Tchaikovsky, House of Open Wounds. The amazing sounding sequel to Tchaikovsky’s epic and impressive City of Last Chances, House of Open Wounds has an outstanding and elaborate plot idea behind it that I cannot wait to check out.
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.
