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 Secret of Secrets by Dan Brown (Hardcover)

I’m still getting through the intriguing new Dan Brown novel, The Secret of Secrets at the moment. Bringing back Brown’s iconic protagonist on another history-laden mystery, The Secret of Secrets is a very compelling read and one I know I’m going to enjoy. I haven’t had as much time to read this week as I would have liked, so I’ve only made a little progress on The Secret of Secrets since my last post. However, I’m hoping to really dive into this book in the next few days, and I look forward to seeing how this novel comes together.

Artifact by Jeremy Robinson (Audiobook)

I have had a little more time for audiobook listening this week, so I started the fantastic new novel from Jeremy Robinson, Artifact. A standalone science fiction novel with a notable horror vibe, Artifact sees an Alaskan sheriff and his unlikely posse investigate a remote science lab filled with unusual genetic monstrosities. A very entertaining listen, especially with the always awesome R. C. Bray narrating, I’ve already made a bit of progress on Artifact’s audiobook version in the last couple of days, and I’m hoping to finish it this week.

What did you recently finish reading?

Born of an Iron Storm by Anthony Ryan (Audiobook)

I managed to finish off the excellent fantasy novel Born of an Iron Storm by Anthony Ryan this week, and it ended up being quite an exceptional listen. The sequel to last year’s A Tide of Black Steel, Born of an Iron Storm continued the great story from the first book, as several compelling characters attempt to survive an oncoming invasion from a previously hidden nation. I really enjoyed the elaborate and intense narrative of this book and Born of an Iron Storm is easily one of the best fantasy books of 2025.

What do you think you’ll read next?

Everyone in this Bank is a Thief by Benjamin Stevenson

After failing to get to it this week, I am still hoping to check out is the fun Australian murder mystery, Everyone in this Bank is a Thief by Benjamin Stevenson next. The next book in the outstanding Ernest Cunningham series, Everyone in this Bank is a Thief looks set to be another hilarious and clever read, and I’m looking forward to checking it out.

The Impossible Fortune by Richard Osman

If I finish off Artifact this week I am planning to listen to the new Richard Osman novel, The Impossible Fortune next. The fifth Thursday Murder Club novel, The Impossible Fortune is shaping up to be an exceptional book with a complex crime fiction narrative behind it. I have no doubt this will be one of the best books of 2025, and I’m excited to listen to this outstanding audiobook.

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.

I absolutely powered through the awesome new Jeffrey Archer novel, End Game, this week. The final entry in Archer’s long-running William Warwick series, End Game had a very exciting and compelling thriller narrative set around the 2012 London Olympics. End Game ended up being one of the more impressive books in this series and it serves as a worthy final entry in a consistently entertaining series.

I’m still going with the Australian crime fiction novel, The Bolthole, as I didn’t get a lot of reading time this week. The latest book from author Peter Papathanasiou, The Bolthole is set on Kangaroo Island and focusses on the disappearance of a rich man, while also featuring a battle for the island’s identity. The Bolthole is so far proving to be a really intriguing novel and I’m hoping to find some time in the next few days to finish it off.

This Inevitable Ruin by Matt Dinniman (Audiobook)

While I didn’t have a lot of physical reading time this week, I did get the chance to listen to get through a lot of audiobooks, so I have continued on with the incredible Dungeon Crawler Carl series by Matt Dinniman. I’ve just started to listen to the seventh and most recently released novel, This Inevitable Ruin, which sees the protagonists fight an all-out war against multiple armies of alien players in an event known as Faction Wars. I have been very excited to see Faction Wars for several books now and I cannot wait to see just how crazy this new novel gets. I’m currently making some good progress on This Inevitable Ruin, but due to its length I will probably still be listening to it next week. This will likely be one of the most awesome audiobooks I enjoy this year, and I cannot wait to see how everything unfolds, especially as there is so much potential for tragedy and mayhem.

What did you recently finish reading?

The Eye of the Bedlam Bride by Matt Dinniman (Audiobook)

Due to how obsessed I am with Matt Dinniman’s Dungeon Crawler Carl series, I powered through the sixth book in the series, The Eye of the Bedlam Bride this week. A very awesome entry in the larger series, The Eye of the Bedlam Bride featured a cool new dungeon floor with an interesting monster card concept behind it, which allowed Dinniman to continue his unique story in some interesting ways. This actually proved to be one of the more intense and complex Dungeon Crawler Carl novels, and I had such an epic time getting through it.

The Final Vow by M. W. Craven

I have a strong feeling that The Final Vow is going to be one of the top books of 2025, and I am extremely excited to see how it unfolds.

Two Kinds of Stranger by Steve Cavanagh

I am also hoping to read is the awesome upcoming Eddie Flynn novel from Steve Cavanagh, Two Kinds of Stranger in the next week. A cool legal thriller with an intriguing plot idea behind it, I have no doubt Two Kinds of Stranger is going to be a very entertaining read, and I look forward to unwinding its awesome story.
