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:
Mrs Hopkins by Shirley Barrett (Trade Paperback)
I am currently reading the intriguing Australian historical drama Mrs Hopkins. The final book of late Australian author Shirley Bennett, Mrs Hopkins is a compelling read about women’s reform school in 19th century Sydney. This is proving to be an interesting read and I am hoping to get through it this weekend.
Point Nemo by Jeremy Robinson (Audiobook)
On the audiobook front I am currently listening to the exciting science fiction thriller Point Nemo by the always entertaining Jeremy Robinson. A fast-paced read that sees a small group journey to an alien landscape that forms in the middle of the most remote ocean, Point Nemo is a captivating and electrifying adventure that proves hard to put down. I have made a lot of progress on Point Nemo already and I cannot wait to see how everything comes together.
What did you recently finish reading?
Hill 112 by Adrian Goldsworthy (ebook)
I managed to finish off the epic historical novel Hill 112 by Adrian Goldsworthy this week. A powerful and brutal World War II novel, Hill 112 followed three young soldiers fighting in one of the bloodiest battles of the Normandy campaign. A compelling and harrowing read.
Warhammer 40,000: Cain’s Last Stand by Sandy Mitchell (Audiobook)
Another exceptional and highly entertaining entry in the amusing Ciaphas Cain series, Cain’s Last Stand was a great addition to the series and the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Review to follow soon.
Nero by Conn Iggulden (Trade Paperback)
I also managed to power through the epic historical fiction novel Nero by Conn Iggulden. An intriguing read that followed the early days of the titular tyrant and show the events that led to him becoming Emperor. One of the best historical books of 2024.
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.
