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?

Gathering Dark, House of Earth and Blood Covers

Gathering Dark by Candice Fox (Trade Paperback)

I just started reading this fun thriller from Australian author Candice Fox, and so far it is pretty interesting.  Gathering Dark follows four very different women in Los Angeles as they team up to save a lost girl, and it is a rather cool concept so far.  Looking forward to seeing how this one ends up.

House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J. Maas (Audiobook)

I am still getting through this massive book, but it is still really good.  I love the vast new fantasy world Maas has created, and the epic story weaving through it is extremely compelling.

Hitler's Secret, House of Earth and Blood Covers
Hitler’s Secret by Rory Clements (Trade Paperback)

This is the fourth book in Clements’s Tom Wilde series of historical thrillers, a series that I have been reading from the start (check out my reviews for the last two books, Nucleus and Nemesis).  I am about halfway through Hitler’s Secret at the moment, and so far it is  probably my favourite book in the series.

House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J. Maas (Audiobook)

I started listening to this book earlier in the week, and I am only a few hours in so far.  Maas is one of the author’s I have been meaning to read more of, especially after I had such a good time with her comic book novel, Catwoman: Soulstealer.  I am actually really enjoying this book at the moment, and Maas has come up with a compelling story inside a vast new fantasy world.  I am very curious to see where this story ends up, although it might take me a little while to get through.

What did you recently finish reading?

Riptides, Predator One Covers

Riptides by Kirsten Alexander (Trade Paperback)

A short review of Riptides will appear in Thursday’s Canberra Weekly.

Predator One by Jonathan Maberry (Audiobook)

I am putting a Throwback Thursday review for this book up tomorrow night.

Book Haul – 29 January 2020

On By The Unseen LibraryIn Book HaulLeave a comment

Another week, another awesome haul of books for me to read.  Now I don’t mean to gloat (well maybe a little a bit of gloating is appropriate), but I have managed to pick up a pretty incredible collection of books in the last week.  I have featured several of the below books in my Waiting on Wednesday articles so I am very excited to have picked them up.  That being said, each of the below novels sound really amazing and I cannot wait to get through all of them.

Highfire by Eoin Colfer

Highfire Cover 3

I have already started reading Highfire and I am nearly finished.  It is really good and I will try to get a review up for it soon.

Alexander’s Legacy: To The Strongest by Robert Fabbri

To the Strongest Cover

The first book in a brand new series by one of my favourite historical fictional authors.  I am probably going to check this one out next.

One Minute Out by Mark Greaney

The Shadow Saint by Gareth Hanrahan

The God Game by Danny Tobey

Now this one sounds like quite the epic book and I am planning to read it very soon.  I have heard some very good things about The God Game and I am really excited to check it out.

House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J. Maas

House of Earth and Blood Cover

The latest novel from one of the biggest names in young adult fiction, Sarah J. Maas, House of Earth and Blood is an absolutely massive piece of fantasy fiction that I am going to have to really buckle down and read as soon as possible.

Agency by William Gibson

Agency Cover

This is an awesome sounding science fiction thriller involving alternate timelines, time travel and a rogue AI.  I reckon that this one is going to be a fantastic read and should prove to be very interesting.

The Museum of Desire by Jonathan Kellerman

The Museum of Desire Cover
That’s it for this latest Book Haul.  As you can imagine, I am very, very happy with all the above books I was lucky enough to receive, although I really need to pick up my reading speed if I am to get through them all.
