WWW Wednesday – 10 January 2024

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:

Rebellion by Simon Scarrow (Trade Paperback)

Rebellion Cover

This week I started reading the new Eagles of the Empire book by Simon Scarrow, Rebellion.  The latest book in one of my favourite historical fiction series, Rebellion is an awesome read that thrusts Scarrow’s long-running protagonists into the middle of Boudica’s revolt.  Filled with a ton of action and an intriguing novelization of Boudica’s attempt to free her people from Rome’s grasp, Rebellion is extremely awesome, and I am having a wonderful time getting through it.  I have currently read about half of Rebellion so far and I am hoping to finish the rest off by the weekend.

Cold Days by Jim Butcher (Audiobook)

Cold Days Cover

I was in the mood for something fun and easy to listen to this week, so I decided to continue to dive deeper into the extremely awesome Dresden Files series by Jim Butcher with Cold Days.  I have had an incredible time with this series over the last couple of years and it really is one of the best fantasy series ever written.  Cold Days is the 14th book in the series and sets a recently resurrected Harry Dresden against all the manipulations and intrigue of the Winter Court.  A deeply addictive read, I am loving Cold Days and at the rate I’m currently going, I should finish it off by this time next week.

What did you recently finish reading?

Argylle by Elly Conway (Trade Paperback)

Argylle Cover

I managed to finish off the fun new novel, Argylle, by the mysterious Elly Conway this week.  An interesting spy thriller that will tie into a 2024 film of the same name, Argylle was a fantastic book and I had a great time with its compelling adventure plot.

Warhammer 40,000: Dead Men Walking by Steve Lyons (Audiobook)

Dead Men Walking Cover

I also managed to finish off the Warhammer 40,000 audiobook Dead Men Walking.  A loose continuation of Lyons’ previous novel KriegDead Men Walking pitted the resolute and unfeeling soldiers of the Death Korps of Krieg against the soulless metal Necrons in a dark and powerful narrative.  I deeply enjoyed the very grim Dead Men Walking and Lyons came up with a particularly epic and powerful read.

What do you think you’ll read next?

Warhammer 40,000: Witchbringer by Steven B. Fischer

Warhammer 40,000 - Witchbringer Cover

If I get through Cold Days this week, I’m planning to listen to the Warhammer 40,000 audiobook Witchbringer by Steven B. Fischer next.  Witchbringer has been on my radar for a while, but I couldn’t get a copy of it until recently.  As such, I am hoping to make up for lost time by finally getting through this amazing sounding book that will follow a psyker, one of the most reviled beings in the Warhammer 40,000 setting, who is forced to return to assist the regiment she used to lead.  Witchbringer sounds like a very awesome piece of Warhammer fiction, and I cannot wait to experience its fantastic story.
