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:
Behind a Closed Door by J. D. Barker (ebook)
I started reading the thriller novel, Behind a Closed Door by J. D. Barker this week and it is proving to be interesting so far. Set around a troubled couple who begin using an unusual relationship app, Behind a Closed Door will see them tested like never before by the app’s sinister requirements. I haven’t gotten too far into this book yet, but I am so far quite intrigued by its start and premise. I look forward to seeing how it turns out and I think I am in for quite a wild ride.
Warhammer 40,000: Straight Silver by Dan Abnett (Audiobook)
I was really in the mood for some classic Warhammer 40,000 fiction this week, especially after recently updating my list on the subject, so I thought I would continue my dive into the Gaunt’s Ghosts series by Dan Abnett with Straight Silver. An excellent addition to the series, Straight Silver sees the Ghosts transferred to a war-torn planet and forced into desperate trench warfare. A dark and gritty war story, Straight Silver is extremely addictive and I should knock it off in the next day or so.
What did you recently finish reading?
Play of Shadows by Sebastien De Castell (Trade Paperback)
I managed to finish off the awesome and entertaining new fantasy novel from Sebastien De Castell, Play of Shadows. Set in his Greatcoat universe, Play of Shadows is the start of new series from De Castell that sees a hapless actor become wrapped up in all manner of trouble when he begins to mystically channel the spirt of his city’s greatest historical villain while on stage. I had an exceptional time with Play of Shadows, and this was honesty one of the best books I have read in 2024 so far.
The Atlas Maneuver by Steve Berry (Audiobook)
I also knocked off The Atlas Maneuver by Steve Berry this week and proved to be another amazing addition to the epic Cotton Malone series. Review to follow soon.
Warhammer 40,000: The Traitor’s Hand by Sandy Mitchell (Audiobook)
Another Warhammer 40,000 audiobook I got through this week was the funny and brilliant The Traitor’s Hand by Sandy Mitchell. The third in the hilarious Ciaphas Cain series, The Traitor’s Hand provided a lighter edge to the usually grim Warhammer 40,000 universe and I had an amazing time listening to it. Check out my review for it here.
What do you think you’ll read next?
The Silverblood Promise by James Logan
The next book that I am hoping to check out is The Silverblood Promise by James Logan. The debut novel of Logan, The Silverblood Promise is an epic sounding fantasy debut that will see a disgraced heir to a noble family attempt to find his father’s killer in a city of notorious rogues, killers and villains. I have very high hopes for this book, and I have no doubt that The Silverblood Promise will be one of the top fantasy books of 2024.
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.
The Unseen Library 
Buried gold is always fun!
I’m currently reading “The Fall of Roman Britain”, a bit of nonfiction, as well as “The Broken Realm”, a YA novel set during the John vs Richard drama of the Third Crusade. Recently finished “Warbow”, which precedes Broken Realm. Not sure what I’m reading next, but I always commit April to English history, English lit, and fiction set in England.
