WWW Wednesday – 26 April 2023

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? 

Fire With Fire by Candice Fox (Trade Paperback)

Fire With Fire Cover

I just started reading the cool crime fiction novel, Fire With Fire, by Australian author Candice Fox today and it is off to a pretty good start.  Fox is a pretty impressive author and I have had a great time with some of her recent releases.  Her new book sees two desperate parents take over a police forensic lab and hold all the evidence within hostage to finally get information about their missing daughter.  While I haven’t made too much progress with this book yet, I am loving the cool scenario and I think that Fire With Fire has a lot of awesome potential.

Warhammer 40,000: Warboss by Mike Brooks

Warhammer 40,000 - Warboss Cover

I am still in a mega Warhammer 40,000 mood so I thought I would try and get through some recent releases from the franchise, and the one that stood out to me the most was Warboss by Mike Brooks.  This fantastic novel follows several Ork characters as they duke it out to become Warboss of their massive warband after the unfortunate death of their previous leader. I have made a great deal of progress into Warboss so far and it is proving to be one of the funniest and more entertaining books I have enjoyed all year, especially on the audiobook format.  I will hopefully finish this off in the next couple of days, but I can already tell that Warboss is a particularly great addition to the amazing Warhammer canon.

What did you recently finish reading?

The Tyrant Skies by David Annandale (eBook)The Tyrant Skies Cover

I managed to finish off the awesome tie-in book The Tyrant Skies by David Annandale which I received on Netgalley.  Featuring a cool story about Doctor Doom taking on the Red Skull, The Tyrant Skies was a ton of fun and I loved getting through it.

Warhammer 40,000: Honour Guard by Dan Abnett (Audiobook)

Warhammer 40,000 - Honour Guard Cover

I managed to read more of Dan Abnett’s Gaunt’s Ghosts series this week, as I finished of the fourth book Honour Guard. This was an amazing addition to the series with a good focus on characters and I really powered through it.  Make sure to check out my review for it in last week’s Throwback Thursday.

Warhammer 40,000: The Guns of Tanith by Dan Abnett (Audiobook)

The Guns of Tanith Cover

After having fun with Honour Guard I also quickly listened to the fifth Gaunt’s Ghosts book, The Guns of Tanith, which was just as awesome as the previous novels from Abnett.  Featuring an intense and captivating narrative that really dove into the heart of the regiment, The Guns of Tanith was a brilliant read and I am planning to get a review for it up tomorrow night.

What do you think you’ll read next?

Star Wars: Battle Scars by Sam Maggs

Star Wars - Battle Scars Cover

I’ve had to delay reading Battle Scars a couple of times over this last few weeks, but I’m still hoping to read this cool Star Wars books soon, especially as we are so close to the new Star Wars Jedi game coming out. I am very curious to see how Sam Maggs captures the feel of both the game and the extended Star Wars universe and this sounds like it will be a fun and interesting read.

Echo Lake by Joan Sauers

Echo Laker Cover

I am also planning to dive into the awesome Australian crime fiction novel, Echo Lake, in the next week or so.  Featuring an intriguing murder mystery in an iconic Australian setting, Echo Lake sounds pretty great and I always enjoy seeing crime fiction set close to where I live.

Amazon

 

The Book That Wouldn’t Burn by Mark Lawrence

The Book That Wouldn't Burn Cover

I am also very keen to start reading the upcoming Mark Lawrence novel, The Book That Wouldn’t Burn, in the immediate future.  An epic and impressive sounding fantasy novel, The Book That Wouldn’t Burn will probably be one of the top releases of 2023 and I am very excited to get to grips on a brand new Mark Lawrence series.

WWW Wednesday – 6 July 2022

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?

Black River by Matthew Spencer (Trade Paperback)

Black River Cover

I’ve been in a bit of an Australian crime fiction mood recently so I just started reading the cool new Australian murder mystery novel, Black River.  The debut book from author Matthew Spencer, Black River follows the intense investigation into a series of murders in Sydney.  A powerful and dark read, I am pretty hooked on the compelling mystery at the moment and should hopefully finish this off soon.

 

Kagen the Damned by Jonathan Maberry (Audiobook)

Kagen the Damned Cover

I finally managed to start listening to the latest book from one of my favourite authors, Jonathan Maberry.  Taking a break from his usual horror and science fiction thriller novels, Maberry has dived into the epic fantasy genre in a big way with Kagen the Damned.  Following a despair riddled hero, the titular Kagen, as he attempts to get revenge for the dead royal family he served, this is an extremely dark novel, with a ton of brutal action and over-the-top violence in it.  I am already a few hours in and I am enjoying seeing the author’s transition to a new genre, as well as the compelling narrative Kagen the Damned contains.  I am extremely curious to see where the rest of the story goes, and this will probably end up being one of the best books I read all year.

Wrong Place Wrong Time by Gillian McAllister (Trade Paperback)

Wrong Place Wrong Time Cover

I didn’t have a lot of time to read Wrong Place Wrong Time during this last week, although I did make a bit of progress earlier today.  This  time-travel orientated thriller is very good though, and I am getting really caught up in its intriguing mystery.  I will hopefully knock this book off in the next day or so and I can’t wait to see how the entire complex story comes together.

 

Warhammer 40,000: Huron Blackheart: Master of the Maelstrom by Mike Brooks

Huron Blackheart Cover

I’ve been in a major Warhammer mood lately and I ended up listening to three awesome Warhammer 40,000 audiobooks in a row.  In my defense, the first two were extremely good, and I figured I’d go for the hat-trick and try to find a third outstanding Warhammer read.  My choice ended up being the recently released Huron Blackheart: Master of the Maelstrom by Mike Brooks, which follows the marauding pirate Chaos Space Marine, Huron Blackheart, as he struggles to retain control of his damned realm.  I have already made a bit of progress with this audiobook and it is turning into a rather interesting book.  Hopefully this will slake my need for Warhammer fiction for a little while, although there are several other great Warhammer books currently sitting near the top of my to-read pile.
