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:
Nightshade by Michael Connelly (ebook)

I just started to read the new Michael Connelly novel; Nightshade and I have already made a descent amount of progress on it. Following an interesting new Connelly protagonist who is forced to investigate a murder on Catalina Island, Nightshade is another amazing read from Connelly, and I am already pretty hooked on its cool mystery. I fully expect to power through Nightshade in the next couple of days and I cannot wait to see how it comes together.
Never Flinch by Stephen King (audiobook)

I also still 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 is a gripping novel that pits Holly against both a killer planning to murder 14 people and a disturbed stalker fixated on murdering a women’s rights activist. I am currently halfway through Never Flinch, and I can already guarantee that this is going to be one of my favourite books of 2025.

Everybody Wants to Rule the World Except Me by Django Wexler (Trade Paperback)

I had a lot of fun reading the hilarious fantasy novel, Everybody Wants to Rule the World Except Me by Django Wexler this week. 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 was another zany and clever read that had me laughing the entire way through. Highly recommended.
What do you think you’ll read next?
The Malevolent Eight by Sebastien de Castell

I have a few interesting books to check out at the moment, but I think I’ll probably start reading the awesome sounding dark fantasy novel, The Malevolent Eight by Sebastien de Castell. The sequel to de Castell’s outstanding The Malevolent Seven, The Malevolent Eight will follow the author’s unlikely band of murderous magic users, who are forced to play the hero in order to save the world. I had a ton of fun with The Malevolent Seven, and I cannot wait to see how de Castell continues his cool story.
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.
