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:
Hotel Lucky Seven by Kotaro Isaka (Trade Paperback)
I just started reading the amazing Japanese thriller, Hotel Lucky Seven by Kotaro Isaka. A follow-up to some of the author’s previous novels, including Bullet Train and Three Assassins, Hotel Lucky Seven sees the unlucky protagonist of Bullet Train trapped in hotel with several deadly assassins. While I haven’t made a ton of progress with this book yet, Hotel Lucky Seven is off to a strong start and I look forward to seeing how it turns out.
The Strength of the Few by James Islington (Audiobook)
I’m still going with the epic fantasy novel, The Strength of the Few by James Islington this week. The sequel to Islington’s deeply impressive The Will of the Many, The Strength of the Few features a deeply complex plot, as three separate versions of the protagonist from the first book simultaneously journey through alternate worlds. I’m currently over halfway through the audiobook format and this is proving to be an exceptional and deeply impressive listen. I already know that The Strength of the Few is going to be one of my top books of 2025, and I cannot wait to see how this intricate and captivating novel comes to an end.
What did you recently finish reading?
Tyrant of Rome by Simon Scarrow (Trade Paperback)
I ended up powering through the new Eagles of the Empire novel, Tyrant of Rome in the last week. An excellent and captivating piece of Roman historical fiction, Tyrant of Rome was an amazing read, and I’m hoping to write a review for it soon.
Warhammer 40,000: Crossfire by Matthew Farrer (Paperback)
I dove into my collection of second-hand paperback that needed to be read this week and checked out the intriguing Warhammer 40,000 novel, Crossfire by Matthew Farrer. A more crime fiction focused novel in the franchise, Crossfire saw it’s determined protagonist uncover conspiracies and plots in a major grimdark city. I had an excellent time getting through Crossfire and I will have to read the rest of the trilogy when I get a chance.
What do you think you’ll read next?
Gone Before Goodbye by Harlan Coben and Reese Witherspoon
The next book I am hoping to read is the exciting thriller Gone Before Goodbye. Written by the intriguing team of Harlan Coben and Reese Witherspoon, Gone Before Goodbye has an awesome sounding plot and I cannot wait to check this book out.
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.
