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 Blacktongue Thief by Christopher Buehlman (Paperback)
After powering through several great recent release, I decided to mix things up a little by diving back into an older book that has been on my to-read list for a while. As such, I’ve started reading the outstanding and highly regarded fantasy novel, The Blacktongue Thief. The first book from author Christopher Buehlman, The Blacktongue Thief has had received a lot of love since its release, and I’ve always meant to check it out. With the sequel coming out later this year, I finally decided to check it out, and I’m already having a ton of fun with it. Featuring a great adventure story with an entertaining cast in dark fantasy world, The Blacktonge Thief is deeply impressing, and I’m hoping to knock it off in the next few days. An amazing read that is really living up to the hype around it.
Pretenders to the Throne of God by Adrian Tchaikovsky (Audiobook)
I’m still listening to the excellent fantasy audiobook, Pretenders to the Throne of God by the legendary Adrian Tchaikovsky, this week, and boy is it something special. 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, which blends great personal storylines with a unique setting to create an exceptional read. I’m currently a bit over halfway through Pretenders to the Throne of God at the moment, and I should probably finish it off in the next week. I cannot wait to see how this elaborate novel comes together, and Pretenders to the Throne of God is already an extremely strong contender to be one of my favourite books of 2026.
What did you recently finish reading?
Redbelly Crossing by Candice Fox (ebook)
I managed to finish off the Australian crime fiction novel, Redbelly Crossing by Candice Fox this week. Another cool outback thriller from Fox, Redbelly Crossing was a dark and twisty read that I couldn’t get enough off. An exceptional novel from one of Australia’s top writers.
How to Kill a Guy in Ten Dates by Shailee Thompson (ebook)
I absolutely powered through the highly entertaining first book from Australian author Shailee Thompson, How to Kill a Guy in Ten Dates this week. A very entertaining read that will saw its slasher film loving protagonist attempt to survive a serial killer stalking a speed dating event, in fun and strangely romantic, horror novel. How to Kill a Guy in Ten Dates was an outstanding novel that I powered through extremely quickly.
What do you think you’ll read next?
Dark Desert Road by Tim Ayliffe
I’ve been having an amazing time with Australian crime fiction lately, so the next book I’m hoping to check out is Dark Desert Road by Tim Ayliffe. A cool and intriguing new read from one of my favourite Australian authors, Dark Desert Road looks set to be an incredible book, and I look forward to diving into it.
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.
