WWW Wednesday – 31 July 2024

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:

The Outsider by Stephen King (Audiobook)

For the last week I’ve mostly been getting through the audiobook of The Outsider by Stephen King while away on a road trip.  Unsurprisingly considering who the author is, The Outsider is a pretty dark and powerful read that sees unnatural forces surround a gruesome murder investigation.  I have absolutely loved powering through this book in the last week, and I only have a little bit left until it’s finished.  I will hopefully get a review of The Outsider up ASAP and I cannot wait to talk about how great this book is.

Sentinel by Mark Greaney (Trade Paperback)

Sentinel Cover

A sequel to Greaney’s previous novel, ArmoredSentinel provide readers with an intense, action-packed read, and I am looking forward to seeing how it unfolds. Due to being away, I haven’t made that much progress with Sentinel in the last week as I would have liked, but I am hoping to make up some ground in the next couple of days.

Warhammer 40,000: Renegades: Lord of Excess by Rich McCormick (Audiobook)

A fantastically over-the-top Warhammer 40,000 novel that follows the very best of the bad guys.  I haven’t made any progress on Lords of Excess in the last week due to other reading commitments, but I will start listening to it again in the next day or so and hopefully I can finish it off by this time next week.

What did you recently finish reading?

The Sandman: Act III by Neil Gaiman (Audiobook)

Another outstanding adaptation of the iconic The Sandman comic.  Act III was a fantastic and addictive affair with an elaborate story and exceptional celebrity cast, and it proved to be a great follow up to the excellent Act I and Act II of the series.

What  do you think you’ll read next?

The Mercy of the Gods by James S. A. Corey

One of the next books I am hoping to read is The Mercy of the Gods by the team behind The Expanse, James S. A. Corey.  The Mercy of the Gods has an epic and deeply compelling plot, and this will probably end up being one of the very best science fiction books of 2024.

Breaking the Dark by Lisa Jewell

I am also hoping to read the intriguing murder mystery novel Breaking the Dark in the next week.  Written by acclaimed crime fiction author Lisa Jewell, Breaking the Dark is set in the Marvel universe and will follow the damaged figure of Jessica Jones as she investigates an unusual crime.  I am very curious about how this book is going to turn out and I have a feeling it is going to be awesome.

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.
