WWW Wednesday – 13 November 2019
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?
Starsight by Brandon Sanderson (Trade Paperback)
The latest book from the outstanding Brandon Sanderson, Starsight is the sequel to one of my favourite books from last year, Skyward, and is a book that I have been looking forward to for a while. I’m currently about a quarter of the way through this book now and I am really enjoying it.
Star Wars: Tarkin by James Luceno (Audiobook)
I felt like listening to a new Star Wars novel, and Tarkin, which was released in 2014, is one of the more interesting sounding Star Wars books I wanted to read. I am glad that I decided to listen to it, as it is a pretty fun and clever book.
What did you recently finish reading?
The Wailing Woman by Maria Lewis (Trade Paperback)
Lethal Agent by Kyle Mills (based on the series by Vince Flynn) (Audiobook)
What do you think you’ll read next?
Warrior of the Altaii by Robert Jordan (Trade Paperback)
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.

The Wailing Woman by Maria Lewis (Trade Paperback)
This is a great piece of urban fantasy that I am really enjoying at the moment. Australian author Maria Lewis has come up with an amazing story and I am glad I received a copy of this book.
Lethal Agent by Kyle Mills (based on the series by Vince Flynn) (Audiobook)
I only just started listening to this audiobook about half an hour ago, but so far it is a pretty decent thriller. I quite liked the previous book in this series, Red War, last year so I am sure I will power through this book rather quickly.
What did you recently finish reading?
Star Wars: Resistance Reborn by Rebecca Roanhorse (Trade Paperback)
Boundless by R. A. Salvatore (Audiobook)
The Diamond Hunter by Fiona McIntosh (Trade Paperback)
The Night Fire by Michael Connelly (Audiobook)
What do you think you’ll read next?

Book Haul – 5 November 2019
In the last couple of weeks I have been lucky enough to receive copies of several amazing new releases, and figured it was time for another Book Haul post. This Book Haul features a range of really interesting and diverse books, all of which I am very excited for.
Star Wars: Resistance Reborn by Rebecca Roanhorse
Let us start this post off with the book I was probably most eager to receive, Star Wars: Resistance Reborn. Resistance Reborn is set to be the main tie-in novel to the upcoming The Rise of Skywalker movie, and I have already featured this book in a Waiting on Wednesday post and my Top Ten Most Anticipated Releases for July-December 2019 list. Needless to say after receiving it last week, I have already read it, and will hopefully get a review up in the next few days.
The Diamond Hunter by Fiona McIntosh
Another book that I received recently and have already read. The Diamond Hunter was a really good historical drama written by Australian author Fiona McIntosh. A short review of this book is going to run in the Canberra Weekly in a couple of days, and I am hoping to get a longer review done up as well. In the meantime, make sure to check out my review of McIntosh’s last book, The Pearl Thief.
The Wailing Woman by Maria Lewis
This is a really intriguing piece of urban fantasy about banshees from Australian author Maria Lewis. I am actually in the process of reading this book at the moment, and so far it is pretty good.
The Magnolia Sword by Sherry Thomas
This is an interesting sounding retelling of the classic tale of Mulan. I have heard some promising things about this book from other reviewers and I am looking forward to checking it out.
A Murder at Malabar Hill by Sujata Massey
This is an interesting sounding book that is set to be released next year. I really like the sound of a murder mystery set in 1920’s Bombay, and it should prove to be a fantastic read.
Spy by Danielle Steel
Now, I have to admit that Danielle Steel is not usually the sort of author I would read. However, this sounds like quite a compelling historical thriller, and I did rather like one of Steel’s other 2019 releases, Turning Point, so I think I will check this book out.
Legacy of Ash by Matthew Ward
The final book on this post is an exciting and massive fantasy debut I just received today. I have actually had my eye on this book for a little while now, and this book is quite high on my reading list at the moment.
I am very happy with the above books, and I am extremely confident that I am going to enjoy all of them. Let me know which of these books interests you the most.
