WWW Wednesday – 9 April 2025

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:

Landfall by James Bradley (ebook)

I’ve just started reading the intriguing Australia crime fiction novel Landfall by James Bradley.  Set in a dystopian, flooded Sydney, Landfall follows a dark missing person’s case with major complications.  I’ve made a bit of progress with Landfall so far and I am very intrigued to see how it turns out.

Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins (Audiobook)

I didn’t get as much audiobook listening time as I would have hoped this year, but I have still made a bit of progress with the new Hunger Games novel, Sunrise on the Reaping.  Set before the original trilogy, Sunrise on the Reaping follows a fan favourite character from the books and films as he goes through his own deadly Hunger Games.  I am really enjoying this new addition to the Hunger Games universe, especially as Collins is taking the story in some very interesting directions.  I’m just about to start the games section of the book, and I have no doubt I am going to love every second of this dark and compelling young adult read.

What did you recently finish reading?

A Drop of Corruption by Robert Jackson Bennett (ebook)

I managed to finish off the exceptional fantasy murder mystery, A Drop of Corruption by Robert Jackson Bennett this week and boy was it awesome.  The sequel to Bennett’s 2024 novel, The Tainted Cup (one of my favourite books of 2024), A Drop of Corruption was an outstanding and compelling read that perfectly combined a complex mystery with Bennett’s inventive fantasy elements.  One of the best fantasy novels of 2025 so far and a very highly recommended read.

Pacific Heights by S. R. White (Trade Paperback)

I had a lot of fun reading the captivating Pacific Heights by S. R. White this week.  An intriguing Australian murder mystery, Pacific Heights contained a twisty and clever mystery, complicated by conflicting witnesses.  A great piece of Australian fiction, I am hoping to get a review for it up soon.

2 Sisters Murder Investigations by James Patterson and Candice Fox (Trade Paperback)

I also managed to power through the very entertaining novel, 2 Sisters Murder Investigations by the outstanding team of James Patterson and Candice Fox.  A sequel to their previous novel, 2 Sisters Detective Agency, this was an amazing book with a very strong story behind it.

What do you think you’ll read next?

Midnight Black by Mark Greaney

If I finish off Sunrise on the Reaping this week, I will probably start listening to the excellent spy thriller, Midnight Black.  The latest Gray Man novel by Mark Greaney, Midnight Black will see the author’s elite assassin protagonist attempt to save the woman he loves from a remote Russian prison.  This thriller has so much potential, and I cannot wait to see how explosive Greaney makes his latest book.
