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:
Argylle by Elly Conway (Trade Paperback)
I just started reading the fun new novel, Argylle, by the mysterious Elly Conway. An interesting spy thriller that will tie into a 2024 film of the same name, Argylle follows an unusual spy who gets dragged into a sinister conspiracy. I’ve made a bit of progress on Argylle already and it is proving to be a fun and distinctive novel. I’m hoping to finish it off by the weekend and I look forward to seeing how its fantastic story unfolds.
Warhammer 40,000: Dead Men Walking by Steve Lyons (Audiobook)
I was still in the mood for Warhammer 40,000 fiction this week, so I started listening to the exciting and grim audiobook Dead Men Walking. A loose continuation of Lyon’s previous novel Krieg, Dead Men Walking pits the resolute and unfeeling soldiers of the Death Korps of Krieg against the soulless metal Necrons. A gripping war story that shows a grim battle between two implacable and inhuman armies, I am really falling in love with Dead Men Walking and I am absolutely flying through its audiobook format.
What did you recently finish reading?
Dark Arena by Jack Beaumont (ebook)
I managed to power through Dark Arena this week and it proved to be a particularly impressive spy thriller. The sequel to Beaumont’s debut, The Frenchman, Dark Arena is a gritty and highly authentic novel that expertly captures the true experiences of an intelligence agent. An excellent and powerful read.
Warhammer 40,000: The Fall of Cadia by Robert Rath (Audiobook)
I finally finished the awesome Warhammer 40,000 novel, The Fall of Cadia by Robert Rath this week and boy was it something special. A novelization of one of the key lore moments of Warhammer 40,000 fiction, The Fall of Cadia is a complex and epic war novel, filled with big battles and impressive characters. Rath did an incredible job capturing this massive event, and the resulting story is addictive, exciting and heartbreaking in all the right ways. One of the best books and audiobooks of 2023, I cannot recommend The Fall of Cadia enough.
What do you think you’ll read next?
I am hoping to read the latest Eagles of the Empire book by Simon Scarrow, Rebellion, next. This is one of my favourite historical fiction series and the new novel sounds pretty damn awesome as it thrusts Scarrow’s long-running protagonists into the middle of Boudica’s revolt.
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.
