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:
Broke Road by Matthew Spencer (Trade Paperback)
I just started reading the excellent Australian crime fiction novel Broke Road by Matthew Spencer. The sequel to his fantastic debut, Black River, Broke Road sets up another compelling murder mystery, this time out in rural Australia. I have made a bit of progress with Broke Road so far and it is proving to be an intriguing and compelling piece of crime fiction. I look forward to unwinding the full case this week, and I cannot wait to see how it turns out.
Warhammer 40,000: Fulgrim: The Perfect Son by Jude Reid (Audiobook)
I’m still listening to the awesome Warhammer 40,000 audiobook, Fulgrim: The Perfect Son by Jude Reid, who previously impressed me with books like Creed: Ashes of Cadia and Daemonbreaker. Following members of the hedonistic and corrupt Emperor’s Children Chaos Space Marines Legion as they embark on siege on behalf of their dark master, The Perfect Son looks set to be an intriguing and entertaining Warhammer 40,000 novel loaded with secrets and betrayal. I’ve made a fair amount of progress on The Perfect Son, and it is proving to be a particularly impressive piece of Warhammer 40,000 fiction, and one of Reid’s best books yet.
What did you recently finish reading?
Battle Mountain by C. J. Box (ebook)
A very fun and over-the-top thriller with a ton of action and adventure. Review to follow very soon.
The Raven Scholar by Antonia Hodgson (ebook)
I decided to check out the interesting fantasy debut, The Raven Scholar by Antonia Hodgson this week, and boy was it particularly impressive. Featuring a unique fantasy narrative, loaded with murder, intrigue and conspiracy, The Raven Scholar was an outstanding novel, and one I’m hoping to gush about very soon.
What do you think you’ll read next?
Sins of the Fathers by John Byrnes
I’m hoping to check out the amazing Australian historical fiction novel, Sins of the Fathers by John Byrnes next. Set to follow two feuding families as they try to kill each other for the sins of their respective fathers admit the chaotic periods of Australian history, Sins of the Fathers sound really cool and I love a good generational historical epic. I am looking forward to checking this book out, especially after enjoying Byrnes previous novels Headland and The Youngest Son.
Badlands by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child
I’m also hoping to start the over-the-top thriller Badlands on audiobook this week. Bringing back the writing team of Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child for another awesome thriller, Badlands will feature a very unique mystery as people start dying while holding Native American artefacts. I have no doubt this is going to be an incredible and very exciting novel and I cannot wait to see how fun things get.
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.
