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:
Think Twice by Harlan Coben (Trade Paperback)
I just started reading the intriguing thriller Think Twice by Harlan Coben. A compelling novel that sees one of Coben’s recurring protagonists investigate recent murders apparently committed by his long-dead friend, Think Twice has an intriguing plot behind it that I am really starting to get into. I have made a bit of progress already and I am hoping to knock off Think Twice over the weekend. I look forward to finding out how it comes together, and I am hoping for a really elaborate narrative.
Crucible of Chaos by Sebastien De Castell (Audiobook)
After having so much fun with the epic novel, Play of Shadows, earlier this year, I have been meaning to read more stuff from impressive author Sebastien De Castell. As such, when I was in the mood for a good fantasy book, I decided to grab the late 2023 release, Crucible of Chaos by De Castell. Serving as a loosely connected prelude to Play of Shadows, Crucible of Chaos is a unique mystery novel that sees a wandering magistrate enter a conflicted abbey where the monks have initiated a holy civil war. I am loving this outrageous and awesome novel, and I am absolutely flying through the audiobook version of it. I am nearly halfway through Crucible of Chaos at this point, and I am very, very intrigued, to see how De Castell will bring this elaborate story together.
What did you recently finish reading?
The Girl in Question by Tess Sharpe (Trade Paperback)
I managed to finish off the fantastic young adult thriller The Girl in Question by Tess Sharpe this week. The sequel to the impressive novel, The Girls I’ve Been, The Girl in Question was an amazing and very clever book that really grabbed my attention. A particularly impressive read, review to follow soon.
Warhammer 40,000: Deathworlder by Victoria Hayward (Audiobook)
I also finished off the awesome Warhammer 40,000 novel, Deathworlder this week. A particularly dark and epic piece of Warhammer 40,000 fiction, Deathworlder was an outstanding debut novel from Victoria Hayward and I will try to get a review up for it quickly as well.
What do you think you’ll read next?
Death on the Tiber by Lindsey Davis
While I have a few potential books to read next, I think I will probably dive into the new Lindsey Davis novel, Death on the Tiber. The latest book in Davis’ long-running Flavia Albia historical murder mystery series, Death on the Tiber will see the series’ protagonist investigate another complex murder in ancient Rome, this time while dealing with demons from her past. I really love this amazing series and I have no doubt I will have a wonderful time reading Death on the Tiber.
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.

Ooh, a new-to-me author in Roman fiction. I used to read Steven Saylor’s Roman murder mysteries, but haven’t touched on that subgenre in a long while.

Lindsey Davis is a really good Roman fiction author and she has some of the best and most outrageous murder mysteries set during the period. Death on the Tiber will be her 32nd novel in the ancient Rome setting, all of which have been part of the extended Falco/Flavia Albia series.
