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 Proving Ground by Michael Connelly (Trade Paperback)
I’ve started reading the awesome new Lincoln Lawyer novel from acclaimed crime fiction author Michael Connelly, The Proving Ground. Connelly’s second novel of 2025 after Nightshade, The Proving Ground sees two iconic protagonists from Connelly’s shared universe team up to take on a corrupt AI company. I’m about halfway through The Proving Ground at the moment and it’s a pretty outstanding legal thriller that really dives into the risks behind AI. I am honestly really loving The Proving Ground, which is likely to be one of my top books of the year, and I am hoping to finish it off in the next couple of days.
Cold War by Jonathan Maberry (Audiobook)
I have also started listening to the dark and twisted science fiction audiobook, Cold War by Jonathan Maberry. The second novel from Maberry in 2025 after Burn to Shine, Cold War is the compelling sequel to last year’s awesome novel, NecroTek, and continues to follow a group of humans transported across the universe to fight Lovecraftian monsters. A clever, terrifying and deeply addictive read, Cold War already has me hooked, and I am currently flying through its audiobook format, especially with the legendary Ray Porter narrating it.
What did you recently finish reading?
The Pilgrim’s Revenge by Scott Mariani (Trade Paperback)
I ended up powering through the exciting historical fiction read, The Pilgrim’s Revenge this week. An awesome release from thriller author Scott Mariani, The Pilgrim’s Revenge was an intense read that all fans of historical action are going to love.
The Feeding by Anthony Ryan (Audiobook)
I also quickly finished off the excellent horror novel from Anthony Ryan, The Feeding. Featuring an intriguing post-apocalyptic vampire narrative, The Feeding was a deeply compelling book that comes very highly recommended. Review to follow soon.
What do you think you’ll read next?
I hoping to read the excellent sounding horror novel, King Sorrow, in the next week. A particularly epic sounding novel that will follow a group of friends who make a dark deal with an ancient evil, King Sorrow has a ton of potential, and it sounds like it is going to be a twisted and impressive 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.
