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:
Whisper in the Wind by Luke Arnold (Trade Paperback)
I just started reading the epic urban fantasy novel, Whisper in the Wind by Luke Arnold. An intriguing addition to the author’s Fetch Phillips series, Whisper in the Wind returns the reader to the ravaged Sunder City as the damaged protagonist is forced back into his private investigator ways to solve a series of murders and uncover a hidden revolutionary. I’ve only made a little bit of progress with Whisper in the Wind at the moment, but it is proving to be an excellent book with a really fun plot behind it.
The Devils by Joe Abercrombie (Audiobook)
I’m currently halfway through the epic and outrageous dark fantasy novel, The Devils by Joe Abercrombie, and boy is it proving to be something special. One of my most anticipated fantasy novels of 2025, The Devils follows a mismatched group of monsters as they try to survive a dark and magic-filled alternate medieval Europe and place an unlikely princess on the throne of Troy. Wildy entertaining and deliciously over-the-top, The Devils is so damn good, and I am loving every single second I spend listening to it.
What did you recently finish reading?
Vanish by Shelley Burr (ebook)
An outstanding and compelling piece of Australian crime fiction.
Open Season by Jonathan Kellerman (Audiobook)
An amazing addition to the long-running Alex Delaware series, Open Season was very impressive, and I loved its cool mystery.
Feet of Clay by Terry Pratchett
I had so much fun once again revisiting Terry Pratchett’s outstanding classic, Feet of Clay, which perfectly combines crime fiction and fantasy elements, wrapped up in the author’s unstoppable humour.
Whisky Valley by Joan Sauers (ebook)
The cool sequel to Echo Lake, Whisky Valley was an excellent and comfy read that makes good use of its Australian setting.
What do you think you’ll read next?
Everybody Wants to Rule the World Except Me by Django Wexler
If I get a chance next week than I’m definitely going to read the hilarious fantasy novel, Everybody Wants to Rule the World Except Me by Django Wexler. The sequel to the amazing and deeply funny How to Become the Dark Lord and Die Trying, Everybody Wants to Rule the World Except Me will see the new titular Dark Lord try to save the pesky humans she is supposed to conquer, all while trying to survive her own minions. Sure to be an amazing and highly addictive read, I know I am going to love this incredible book.
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 
A hilarious fantasy novel? Interesting!

I love how Pratchett managed to make a story ostensibly about robots in a Medieval-style fantasy setting in a way that works so well.

Ok, I have been ignoring The Devils because I had it in my head that Joe Abercrombie is like a hardboiled crime writer?? But reading your description, that sounds so full of potential! I think it might tip too far into “forced quirky” for me but it has so much chance to be the *perfect* mix of goofy irreverence, that’s probably going on my list now. Thanks for getting me to overcome my weird bias and give it a genuine look xD
