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:
Hill 112 by Adrian Goldsworthy (ebook)
I have been having an amazing time reading the epic historical novel Hill 112 by Adrian Goldsworthy this week. A powerful and brutal World War II novel, Hill 112 follows three young soldiers fighting in one of the bloodiest battles of the Normandy campaign. I am deeply enjoying this epic book and I only have a little bit left of it, so I should finish it off soon.
Warhammer 40,000: Cain’s Last Stand by Sandy Mitchell (Audiobook)
I was in the mood for some fun listening this week, so I dove into a couple of the fantastic Ciaphas Cain audiobooks. Following a complex character as he navigates the dark Warhammer 40,000 universe with humour and justifiable fear, the Ciaphas Cain books are very entertaining, and I have been deeply enjoying this series lately. Cain’s Last Stand is a particularly interesting inclusion and I look forward to seeing how it comes together. I am absolutely flying through Cain’s Last Stand at the moment, and I should finish it off this weekend.
What did you recently finish reading?
Think Twice by Harlan Coben (Trade Paperback)
I powered through Think Twice by Harlan Coben last week, knocking off the final 200 pages in a single day. This was an outstanding and entertaining read that proved to be one of the most exciting thrillers of 2024 so far. Make sure to check out my review for it here.
Crucible of Chaos by Sebastien De Castell (Audiobook)
After having so much fun with the epic novel, Play of Shadows, earlier this year, I decided to also read Sebastien De Castell’s 2023 release, Crucible of Chaos. Serving as a loosely connected prelude to Play of Shadows, Crucible of Chaos was a unique mystery novel that saw wandering magistrate enter a conflicted abbey where the monks have initiated a holy civil war. This proved to be an exceptional listen that I could not stop listening to. A very highly recommended piece of fantasy fiction, I am hoping to get a review up for it very soon.
Warhammer 40,000: Duty Calls by Sandy Mitchell (Audiobook)
Another Ciaphas Cain audiobook I checked out this week was the very fun Duty Calls. Duty Calls was an epic read, and I loved the entertaining and thrilling plot that forced the protagonist into some dark adventures.
What do you think you’ll read next?
The next book I am planning to check out is the epic historical fiction novel Nero by Conn Iggulden. An intriguing read from one of the top authors of historical fiction, Nero will follow the early days of the titular tyrant and show the events that led to him becoming Emperor. I am very curious to see how Nero turns out, and I have high hopes this will be one of the best historical 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.
