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 started reading the cool new novel 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 major quest to save two separate worlds. I’ve only made a little progress on this massive novel so far, but I am already quite intrigued to see where this novel is going. I’m hoping to finish off Other Worlds Than These this week, although I’ve got about 800 pages still to go.
Warhammer 40,000: Cold Covenant by Peter Fehervari (Audiobook)
I didn’t get as much audiobook listening time this week as I’d hoped so I’m still listening to the excellent Warhammer 40,000 novel, Cold Covenant by Peter Fehervari. Part of Fehervari’s loosely connected Dark Coil series, Cold Covenant is a darker Warhammer 40,000 novel that follows several damaged characters as they navigate a vicious world falling into chaos. I’ve made a bit of progress on Cold Covenant this week and I’m very intrigued by its unique story and take on the Warhammer universe. Definitely one of the more complex Warhammer books of the year, I’m very intrigued to see how this dark read comes to an end.
What did you recently finish reading?
Adam & Eve by Jeffrey Archer (Hardcover)
I had a bittersweet time reading the fantastic novel Adam & Eve, this week. The last novel from the recently deceased Jeffrey Archer, Adam & Eve is a sprawling historical epic primarily set between World War I and II. I had an excellent time with this book, which had a powerful and addictive story behind it.
The French Illusion by John Grisham (Trade Paperback)
I also enjoyed the new John Grisham novel The French Illusion this week. A compelling thriller that follows the aftermath of a shocking kidnapping in Paris, The French Illusion was an extremely awesome novel that was very easy to power through.
What do you think you’ll read next?
If I manage to finish off the giant Stephen King I’m currently reading, then I think I’ll check out some cool Australian crime fiction next with 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.
