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 barely got any physical reading done this week so I’m still going with the very adult thriller, Behind a Closed Door by J. D. Barker. 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’ve made a bit of progress on Behind a Closed Door since last week, and I’m very intrigued where things are going with it. Hopefully I will get more opportunities to read this week and I will aim to finish this novel off by this time next week.
Alien Clay by Adrian Tchaikovsky (Audiobook)
I had a lot more success getting through audiobooks this week, so I just started listening to the awesome science fiction novel Alien Clay by Adrian Tchaikovsky. I have become a major fan of Tchaikovsky is recent years, and Alien Clay is the first of four (yes, four!) books he has coming out this year. An intriguing novel about an infamous prison on an alien world, Alien Clay has some great potential that really grabbed my attention. I’m only a little way into Alien Clay but I am enjoying its great concept, cynical political undertones, and underlying scientific mysteries. I am hoping to get through Alien Clay rather quickly, and I cannot wait to see how it turns out.
What did you recently finish reading?
Warhammer 40,000: Straight Silver by Dan Abnett (Audiobook)
I have really been in the mood for some classic Warhammer 40,000 fiction this week, especially after recently updating my list on the subject, so I continued my dive into the Gaunt’s Ghosts series by Dan Abnett with Straight Silver. An excellent addition to the series, Straight Silver was a dark and gritty war story that proved to be highly addictive and which I could not get enough of.
Warhammer 40,000: Sabbat Martyr by Dan Abnett (Audiobook)
Indeed, I loved Straight Silver so much I immediately listened to the next book in the Gaunt’s Ghosts series, Sabbat Martyr. Another awesome read, Sabbat Martyr saw the soldier protagonists dragged into another bitter conflict as a new religious figure emerges to lead them. A great novel that cleverly wrapped up several ongoing storylines in some suitably tragic ways, I had such an incredible time getting through this audiobook.
What do you think you’ll read next?
The Silverblood Promise by James Logan
If I manage to get some reading time this week, then the next physical 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.
