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:
Service Model by Adrian Tchaikovsky (ebook)
A day after lamenting my lack of progress on certain books, I decide to read one of the top books from the first half of 2024 I still needed to check out with the amazing science fiction novel, Service Model by Adrian Tchaikovsky. Following a robot who gains sentience and decides to overthrow the crumbling remnants of human society, Service Model is a very interesting and entertaining book that I have been looking forward to for ages. I have only made a little bit of progress so far on Service Model, but I am already intrigued by its story, and I cannot wait to see how it turns out.
NecroTek by Jonathan Maberry (Audiobook)
I am still listening to the impressive audiobook, NecroTek by Jonathan Maberry. A dark science fiction novel with heavy Lovecraftian vibes, NecroTek is an awesome and unique new novel from Maberry that has been on my radar for a while. I have made a fair bit of progress on NecroTek, and I am loving its dark story of loss and despair, as the inhabitants of a space station are teleported to a monster infested region of space. Easily one of the best books and audiobooks of 2024 so far, NecroTek is such an outstanding novel, and I am finding’s its elaborate and exciting story so very invigorating. I will hopefully finish this off in the next few days and I cannot wait to see how everything ends.
What did you recently finish reading?
Song of the Samurai by C. A. Parker (ebook)
A fantastic and compelling read that captured the intricacies of life in Feudal Japan.
The Wrong Man by Tim Ayliffe (Trade Paperback)
I also manage to get through the excellent Australian thriller, The Wrong Man by Tim Ayliffe. The latest book in Ayliffe’s John Bailey series, The Wrong Man had an amazing plot involving serial killers and cold cases. A great book that went in some intriguing directions, I am hoping to get a review up for it soon.
What do you think you’ll read next?
Outrider by Mark Wales
I think I’ll read the cool Australian thriller, Outrider by Mark Wales, next. Set in the near future, Outrider will follow a desperate man as he traverses a war-torn version of Australia.
Warhammer 40,000: Siege of Vraks by Steve Lyons
I have several epic 2024 audiobooks to listen to next, but I think once I get through NecroTek, I will probably start listening to the Warhammer 40,000 novel, Siege of Vraks by Steve Lyons. Once again returning to Lyon’s favourite body of troops, the Death Korps of Krieg, Siege of Vraks will see the infamous regiments of the Death Korps engage in a lengthy and bloody siege against impossible odds. Siege of Vraks sounds so damn good, and I cannot wait to see just how crazy and dark things get in this epic audiobook.
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 
Not a fan of Service Model’s premise, but if Scalzi has such high praise for the author I may have to look at his other work!
I just finished two books: Lawless Republic and American Phoenix: John Quincy Adams. About to finish Saving Cinderella, a re-appraisal of the Disney princesses. Not sure what my next read will be, though.

An interesting mix of books. I want to read more Australian books. The most recent sci fi I read (a few months ago now) had Robots In – In The Lives of Puppets by TJ Klune. I loved it.
Have a great week!
