WWW Wednesday is a weekly meme 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?

Star Wars: Shadow Fall by Alexander Freed (Trade Paperback)

The sequel to last year’s Alphabet Squadron, Shadow Fall is another fantastic Star Wars novel that sees two rival groups of pilots face off following the fall of the Empire. I have made a fair amount of progress with this book and so far I am really enjoying it.

Star Wars: Doctor Aphra by Sarah Kuhn (Audio Drama)

It looks like I’m doing a bit of a Star Wars double feature this week, but there was no way I could resist this new Star Wars audio drama about one of my favourite characters Doctor Aphra. Featuring a full cast of impressive narrators, this Doctor Aphra audio drama retells the events of the Darth Vader (2015) series where Aphra was introduced and tells it from her perspective. I am about half an hour in at the moment and I am loving this fun and entertaining audio presentation, which is perfectly capturing the character’s wild and exciting personality.

The Constant Rabbit by Jasper Fforde (Trade Paperback)

The Constant Rabbit is the weird and entertaining new novel from bestselling author Jasper Fforde.

I only just started this book today, but so far it is a fun read that I am rather enjoying.

Star Trek: Agents of Influence by Dayton Ward (Audiobook)

I am still going with this Star Trek audiobook and I am hoping to finish it off in the next couple of days. This has been a really good read so far, and I cannot wait to see where the rest of the story goes.

Fair Warning by Michael Connelly (Trade Paperback)

The latest book from bestselling author Michael Connelly, Fair Warning sees the return of maverick reporter Jack McEvoy, and features an intriguing murder mystery. I am just over halfway through Fair Warning at the moment, and I am really enjoying it’s clever mystery and excellent storytelling.

Star Trek: Agents of Influence by Dayton Ward (Audiobook)

I only just started this audiobook about an hour ago, and so far it is proving to be an awesome and compelling new Star Trek novel. Agents of Influence is the second of three fantastic sounding Star Trek novels I have been looking forward to, and so far it has not disappointed. Written by one of the most prolific Star Trek tie-in fiction authors, Dayton Ward (whose 2019 release Available Light I really enjoyed), Agents of Influence has a very cool story concept that will drag the cast of The Original Series into a deadly espionage mission against the Klingons.

Firefly, Race the Sands Covers

Firefly: The Ghost Machine by James Lovegrove (Hardcover)

The Ghost Machine is the latest in a new line of Firefly novels that have been released over the last couple of years. Due to delays with another Firefly novel, Generations, all three of the books in this series have been written by James Lovegrove, who has produced some rather interesting stories within this cool franchise. I have only just started this book, but I am already hooked. It has an awesome story premise behind it and I cannot wait to see where Lovegrove takes the crew of Serenity this time.

Race the Sands by Sarah Beth Durst (Audiobook)

This was a bit of an impulse choice I made about 40 minutes ago, but I decided I would start listening to Race the Sands by Sarah Beth Durst. I have been hearing some pretty amazing things about this book from some other reviewers, and their continued praise convinced me to have a go at reading this. So far it is turning out to be a rather intriguing novel, and I am pretty sure that I am really going to like this book.
