WWW Wednesday – 21 August 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 Last Shield by Cameron Johnston (ebook)

I just started reading the awesome fantasy novel, The Last Shield.  The new book from Cameron Johnston, who has really impressed me in the past, The Last Shield is a very cool dark fantasy read that pits a lone guard against a deadly heist crew.  Essentially a fantasy Die HardThe Last Shield has so much potential, and I am already having a ton of fun with it.

Five Broken Blades by Mai Corland (Audiobook)

I didn’t make as much progress with the Five Broken Blades audiobook this week as I would have liked, mainly because I was out of commission with a bad cold. The first adult fantasy novel from author Mai Corland, Five Broken Blades sees a group of five deadly liars attempt to take down an immortal god king.  While I didn’t listen to as much of it as I had hoped, I am still having a lot of fun with Five Broken Blades, and it is proving to be a solid and compelling read.

What did you recently finish reading?

Confessions of the Dead by James Patterson and J. D. Barker (Trade Paperback)

A dark and chilling novel about strange events that occur around a small mountain town when a mysterious girl appears.  Featuring a compelling plot and an intriguing premise, this was an excellent read and one that proved hard to put down.

The Recruiter by Gregg Podolski (ebook)

A fun and fast-paced thriller debut that saw a man who specializes in recruiting killers, forced to go up against his most prized assassins when they go after his family.  An awesome read that proved to be an outstanding first book from Podolski.  Review to follow soon.

What do you think you’ll read next?

Witness 8 by Steve Cavanagh

The next book I am planning to read is the awesome legal thriller, Witness 8 from the always impressive Steve Cavanagh.  Once again placing his former conman lawyer protagonist in an unusual courtroom scenario, Witness 8 will see an unassuming key witness attempt to send an innocent man to jail for her own twisted purposes.  I always have so much fun with Cavanagh’s outstanding books, I have no doubt this is going to be an exceptional read.

The Chilling by Riley James

I am also hoping to read the Australian thriller, The Chilling, in the next week.  The debut book of Australian author Riley James, The Chilling will see a group of researchers at an Antarctica research station, deal with a series of sinister events.  I love the sound of this cool new book, and I cannot wait to check it out.
