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:
Other Worlds Than These by Stephen King and Peter Straub (Trade Paperback)
I’m still going with the massive fantasy epic Other Worlds Than These. The third book in The Talisman trilogy by Stephen King and the late Peter Straub, Other Worlds Than These follows the trilogy’s aging protagonist as he embarks on another quest, this time to defeat a threat to two separate worlds. I’ve made quite a bit of progress in the last week, although I’ve still got a bit to go. I’m hoping to finish off the last few hundred pages this weekend and I’m very keen to see how Other Worlds Than These comes together.
Star Wars: Reign of the Empire: Edge of the Abyss by Rebecca Roanhorse (Audiobook)
I was in a Star Wars mood this week, so I finally got around to reading the awesome audiobook, Edge of the Abyss. The sequel to last year’s fantastic book, The Mask of Fear, Edge of the Abyss brings in a new author with Rebecca Roanhorse, while continuing to explore the dark oppression during the reign of the Empire. A very cool book, I’m a couple of hours in at this point and I’m already quite hooked by its story. I’m hoping to get through most of the audiobook version of Edge of the Abyss this week and I curious to see how it ends.
What did you recently finish reading?
Warhammer 40,000: Cold Covenant by Peter Fehervari (Audiobook)
I managed to finish off the excellent Warhammer 40,000 novel, Cold Covenant by Peter Fehervari, this week. One of the more complex Warhammer books of the year, this was a particularly intense, character-driven novel that showed several figures slow descent into their own personal hell. I had a great time with this book, and I need to check out more stuff in Fehervari’s Dark Coil sub-series.
What do you think you’ll read next?
I’ve got several excellent books currently sitting on the shelf, but the one most keen to read at the moment is the excellent Australian crime ficiton novel, SHOT by Shelley Burr. A very compelling sounding novel that sees a damaged reporter try to solve a seemingly impossible double murder, SHOT has a lot of potential. I love the sound of this book, and I look forward to unravelling the awesome new mystery from Burr.
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.
