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:
Everybody Wants to Rule the World Except Me by Django Wexler (Trade Paperback)
I just started reading 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 sees the new titular Dark Lord try to save the humans she is supposed to conquer, all while trying to survive her own minions. I’ve only made a little progress on this book so far, but it is already quite funny, and I know I’m going to love every second I spend reading it.
Never Flinch by Stephen King (audiobook)
I also just started listening to the new Stephen King novel, Never Flinch. Featuring one of the authors more compelling protagonists, Holly Gibney (from books like Mr. Mercedes, The Outsider and Holly), Never Flinch will pit her against some dangerous new foes, as she tries to catch a killer planning to murder 14 people, while also protecting a women’s rights activist from a stalker. I have had an exceptional time with King’s recent crime fiction novels, and I have no doubt that Never Flinch is going to be one of the top books of 2025.
What did you recently finish reading?
Whisper in the Wind by Luke Arnold (Trade Paperback)
I ended up having a wonderful time getting through the epic urban fantasy novel, Whisper in the Wind by Luke Arnold this week. An exceptional addition to the author’s Fetch Phillips series, Whisper in the Wind was a brilliant novel that comes very highly recommended, especially as Arnold continues to evolve as an author and produces an outstanding mystery in his complex fantasy world.
The Devils by Joe Abercrombie (Audiobook)
I finally managed to finish off the epic and outrageous dark fantasy novel, The Devils by Joe Abercrombie, this week, and boy was it something special. One of my most anticipated fantasy novels of 2025, The Devils followed 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 was so damn good, and I loved every single second I spend listening to it.
What do you think you’ll read next?
Nightshade by Michael Connelly
The next book I am planning to check out is the new Michael Connelly novel, Nightshade. Following an interesting new protagonist who is forced to investigate a murder on an isolated and iconic Californian island, Nightshade should be another amazing read from Connelly, who has great impressed me over the years with his exceptional crime fiction novels.
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 
Interesting looking books. I like the look of Everybody Wants To Rule The World Except Me.
Have a great week!

I need to catch up on Stephen King’s latest releases! I haven’t read any of the books with Holly yet.

They are pretty worthwhile checking out. The Outsider was very clever, while the previous book, Holly, was pretty freaky.
