WWW Wednesday – 17 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:

Hollywood Hustle by Jon Lindstrom (ebook)

Hollywood Hustle Cover

I just started reading the fun debut thriller from actor Jon Lindstrom, Hollywood Hustle.  Following a washed-up actor as he tries to recover his kidnapped daughter, Hollywood Hustle is an interesting book, and I loved the sound of its cool plot.  I’ve only made a little progress on Hollywood Hustle so far, but I am enjoying its compelling story.  I will probably knock Hollywood Hustle off fairly quickly and I look forward to seeing how it turns out.

Cold Days by Jim Butcher (Audiobook)

Cold Days Cover

I am still going with the extremely awesome Dresden Files novel Cold Days by Jim Butcher, and I should knock it off in the next day or so.  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 I am hoping to feature it in a post later this week.

What did you recently finish reading?

Rebellion by Simon Scarrow (Trade Paperback)

Rebellion Cover

I managed to finish off the new Eagles of the Empire book by Simon Scarrow, Rebellion this week and boy was it awesome. The latest book in one of my favourite historical fiction series, Rebellion was clever, dark and moving, and I cannot recommend it enough.  Review to follow in the next day or so.

Saevus Corax Captures the Castle by K. J. Parker (Trade Paperback)

Saevus Corax Captures the Castle Cover

I had a lot of fun over the weekend reading the second of three Saevus Corax books that entertaining author K. J. Parker released last year, Saevus Corax Captures the Castle.  An outstanding sequel to Saevus Corax Deals with the Dead (one of my favourite books of 2023), Saevus Corax Captures the Castle was another hilarious read that thrusts Parker’s smart, but unlucky, protagonist into the middle of an elaborate and complex conspiracy.  Highly recommended.

Extinction by Douglas Preston (ebook)

Extinction Cover

The allure of Extinction’s fantastic plot proved to be too much for me, and I dove into the early copy I received of this awesome book by veteran author Douglas Preston.  Following a murder investigation in an elite resort full of genetically resurrected mega-fauna, Extinction was a captivating and over-the-top read that had me hooked the entire way through.

What do you think you’ll read next?

Warhammer 40,000: Witchbringer by Steven B. Fischer

Warhammer 40,000 - Witchbringer Cover

I am still 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.

The Murder Inn by James Patterson and Candice Fox

The Murder Inn Cover

I have a few books I wouldn’t mind reading in the next week, but I will probably start with the excellent crime fiction book, The Murder Inn by the team of James Patterson and Candice Fox.  An outstanding sounding novel, The Murder Inn should be a lot of fun and I am looking forward to checking it 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.
