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:
The Stolen by Vikki Petraitis (ebook)
I’ve started to read the compelling new Australian crime fiction novel, The Stolen by Vikki Petraitis. The sequel to Petraitis’s previous novel, The Unbelieved, The Stolen once again takes the reader back to a troubled small town, infected with systemic issues, with a powerful case about a kidnapped baby. The Stolen is already proving to be an exceptional novel and I cannot wait to see how it comes together.
What did you recently finish reading?
Liar’s Game by Jack Beaumont (ebook)
I managed to finish off the excellent spy thriller, Liar’s Game by Jack Beaumont this week. A great new entry in a particularly realistic and gripping series, Liar’s Game was extremely clever, and I deeply enjoyed this fantastic tale of espionage, betrayal and covert action.
Star Wars: Sanctuary by Lamar Giles (Audiobook)
I also just finished off the latest Star Wars release, Sanctuary by Lamar Giles. A tie-in to the Bad Batch animated series, Sanctuary was a very exciting read that added a great new adventure to this fun group of characters from the extended Star Wars universe.
What do you think you’ll read next?
Born of an Iron Storm by Anthony Ryan
I’m hoping to dive into the excellent new fantasy novel Born of an Iron Storm by Anthony Ryan next. The sequel to last year’s A Tide of Black Steel, Born of an Iron Storm will continue the great story from the first book, as several compelling characters attempt to survive an oncoming invasion from a previously hidden nation. Sure to be one of the more impressive and captivating fantasy novels of 2025, I am very excited to read A Tide of Black Steel, and it’s going to be pretty damn epic.
I’m also hoping to read the fascinating new fantasy novel, Katabasis by acclaimed author R. F. Kuang in the next week. A curious and intense novel from a rising star in fantasy fiction, Katabasis has an intriguing plot about two rival students who must journey to hell to save their professor’s soul. I love the sound of this book, and I cannot wait to see what dark magic Kuang will weave together in this excellent read.
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.
