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:
Redbelly Crossing by Candice Fox (ebook)
I’ve started reading the upcoming Australian crime fiction novel, Redbelly Crossing by Candice Fox this week. Another cool outback thriller from one of Australia’s most well-known authors, Redbelly Crossing has a great plot behind it, as two estranged brothers/cops, attempt to solve a dark murder in a small town. However, it soon becomes clear that only one of the brothers wants to solve the case, while the other wants to bury it by any means they can. I’ve already made a ton of progress on Redbelly Crossing, and it’s proving to be an impressive and complex read, filled with damaged characters. I’m about two thirds of the way through this book at the moment, and I’m very curious to see how the entire thing comes together.
Pretenders to the Throne of God by Adrian Tchaikovsky (Audiobook)
I’ve also recently started listening to the excellent fantasy audiobook, Pretenders to the Throne of God by the legendary Adrian Tchaikovsky. The fourth book in Tchaikovsky’s Tyrant Philosophers series, Pretenders to the Throne of God follows various individuals caught up in a siege of a fantasy city, all of whom have their own problems and agendas. I’m really loving this book so far, which blends great personal storylines with a unique setting to create an exceptional read. I’m hoping to get through a good chunk of Pretenders to the Throne of God in the next week, and I’m curious to see what cool characters and storylines emerge the further we get into it.

The Shark by Emma Styles (Trade Paperback)
I managed to knock off the cool Australian thriller, The Shark this week. The second book from author Emma Styles, The Shark is an intriguing crime fiction novel that follows two young women determined to find and stop a serial killer currently terrorising Perth. A cool and interesting read that I am hoping to review soon.
The Hard Line by Mark Greaney (Audiobook)
I’ve also powered through the audiobook version of the new Gray Man novel by Mark Greaney this week, The Hard Line. A very impressive new entry in one of my favourite spy thriller series, The Hard Line sees the protagonist attempt to stop a series of assassinations across the United States, while being hunted by a vengeful assassin, who has come out of retirement specifically to take out the Gray Man. The Hard Line was another exceptional novel from Greaney, and I really enjoyed where this elaborate entry in the series went. A highly recommended and thrilling read.
What Rhymes With Murder by Penny Tangey (ebook)
I had fun quickly reading the entertaining cosy murder mystery, What Rhymes With Murder this week. An intriguing and exciting debut novel from Tangey that makes good use of its parent-based plot.
What do you think you’ll read next?
How to Kill a Guy in Ten Dates by Shailee Thompson
I’m in the mood for more cool debuts so the next book I am hoping to check out is the first book from Australian author Shailee Thompson, How to Kill a Guy in Ten Dates. A very entertaining sounding read that will feature a deadly series of murders at a speed dating event, in fun and apparently romantic, horror novel. How to Kill a Guy in Ten Dates sounds like the perfect book for me, and I look forward to seeing how crazy it turns out to be.
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.
