WWW Wednesday is a weekly post 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:
A Drop of Corruption by Robert Jackson Bennett (ebook)
I started reading the exceptional fantasy murder mystery, A Drop of Corruption by Robert Jackson Bennett this week and boy is it awesome. The sequel to Bennett’s 2024 novel, The Tainted Cup (one of my favourite books of 2024), A Drop of Corruption sees the author’s entertaining protagonists investigate another impossible crime in a land constantly under attack from giant monsters. An outstanding and compelling read that perfectly combines a complex mystery with Bennett’s inventive fantasy elements, A Drop of Corruption is so damn good and this will probably end up being one of my top books of 2025.
Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins (Audiobook)
I also just started listening to the audiobook version of the new Hunger Games novel, Sunrise on the Reaping. An intriguing novel set before the original trilogy, Sunrise on the Reaping will follow a fan favourite character from the books and films as he goes through his own deadly Hunger Games. I have only made a little progress on this audiobook so far, but I am already very intrigued to see where this is going.
What did you recently finish reading?
How to Slay on Holiday by Sarah Bonner (ebook)
A fun and twisty murder mystery that had me hooked the entire way through.
Burn to Shine by Jonathan Maberry (Audiobook)
I managed to finish off the epic new Jonathan Maberry audiobook, Burn to Shine this week, and boy was it awesome. The fourth book in Maberry’s Rogue Team International series (Rage, Relentless and Cave 13), Burn to Shine was a brutal and deeply intense thriller loaded with action and an elaborate plot that I couldn’t stop listening to. Highly recommended and I am hoping to get a review up for it soon.
When the Moon Hits Your Eye by John Scalzi (ebook)
I absolutely powered through the highly entertaining new novel from John Scalzi, When the Moon Hits Your Eye this week. A hilarious novel with a unique plot behind it, When the Moon Hits Your Eye was so much fun and I am really glad I got the chance to read it.
What do you think you’ll read next?
Pacific Heights by S. R. White
I have a few books I’m hoping to start in the next week and the first of them will probably be Pacific Heights by S. R. White. An intriguing Australian murder mystery, Pacific Heights will see detectives try to unravel the different stories from five witnesses who each saw the same murder take place. I look forward to unwrapping White’s outstanding story and Pacific Heights promises to be an impressive 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.
The Unseen Library 
I just added The Tainted Cup to my TBR so fast! I hadn’t heard of the author or series and now I can’t wait to drop into the first book.
