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 Youngest Son by John Byrnes (Trade Paperback)
I just started reading the intriguing Australian historical novel, The Youngest Son by John Byrnes. A compelling read set-in 20th century Sydney that follows several members of a working-class family as they attempt to survive the various key historical events of the period. I am already having a lot of fun with The Youngest Son, and it should prove to be an excellent piece of Australian fiction.
Warhammer 40,000: Oaths of Damnation by Robbie MacNiven (Audiobook)
I’m always in a Warhammer mood so I just started listening to one of the latest Warhammer 40,000 audiobooks, Oaths of Damnation by Robbie MacNiven. Following the infamous Exorcists chapter of Space Marines, Oaths of Damnation sees the Exorcists attempt to track down a dangerous daemon before it reveals their chapter’s darkest secrets. I have made a bit of progress with Oaths of Damnation already and I am very curious to see where this cool book is going to go.
What did you recently finish reading?
Witness 8 by Steve Cavanagh (Trade Paperback)
A fun and exceptional legal thriller from the always awesome Steven Cavanagh, Witness 8 was a pretty amazing book with a fantastic and exciting story.
The Chilling by Riley James (ebook)
A gripping Australian thriller, The Chilling, was an outstanding debut from Riley James set at an Antarctic research station. An excellent read that I really enjoyed.
Five Broken Blades by Mai Corland (Audiobook)
I finally managed to finish off the Five Broken Blades audiobook this week. The first adult fantasy novel from author Mai Corland, Five Broken Blades sees a group of deadly liars attempt to take down an immortal god king. This proved to be a very awesome read, and I loved it’s fantastic and twisty ending.
What do you think you’ll read next?
The next book I am hoping to read is the epic historical fiction novel, King’s Enemy by Ian Ross. The final book in the de Norton trilogy that previously featured Battle Song and War Cry, King’s Enemy will see the protagonist, now declared a traitor, fight in England’s most infamous siege. I have had such an amazing time with the previous books in this series and I cannot wait to see how Ross brings everything together.
I am also planning to read the historical thriller Precipice in the next week. The new book from the always outstanding Robert Harris, Precipice will cover an infamous World War I scandal involving the British prime minister. I look forward to seeing Harris’s take on this complex event and I know this is going to be a pretty awesome read.
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.
