WWW Wednesday – 26 June 2024

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:

The Mercy Chair by M. W. Craven (ebook)

The Mercy Chair Cover

I started reading the compelling murder mystery The Mercy Chair by M. W. Craven this week.  A unique and dark mystery that sees Craven’s long-running protagonist and his unusual partner investigating a religiously motivated killing.  I have made a bit of progress on The Mercy Chair, and I am getting really drawn into the compelling narrative, especially the complex and intriguing mystery.  I am hoping to knock off a fair bit of The Mercy Chair in the next day or two and I am very curious to see how it all comes together.

Goodbye Girl by James Grippando (Audiobook)

Goodbye Girl Cover

I finally started listening to the cool legal thriller, Goodbye Girl by James Grippando this week, which has been on my to-read list for a while now.  The latest book in Grippando’s Jack Swyteck series, Goodbye Girl features a curious case of deceit, murder and online pirating that I am finding very addictive.  I am making very quick progress on this book, and I cannot wait to see how Goodbye Girl continues.

What did you recently finish reading?

You Like It Darker by Stephen King (Trade Paperback)

You Like It Darker Cover

I finished off the new Stephen King book, You Like It Darker, this week and it ended up being particularly epic.  Featuring 12 great short stories, You Like It Darker was an exceptional book, and I honestly got so drawn in to some of King’s unique and varied narratives.

Star Trek: Pliable Truths by Dayton Ward (Audiobook)

Star Trek - Pliable Truths Cover

An excellent Star Trek novel that served as a very entertaining bridge between The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine television series.  This was an outstanding listen, and I’m really glad I decided to check it out. 

Amazon

What do you think you’ll read next?

NecroTek by Jonathan Maberry (Audiobook)

Necrotek Cover

If I manage to get through Goodbye Girl this week I’ll probably start listening to NecroTek by Jonathan Maberry next.  A dark science fiction novel with heavy Lovecraftian vibes, NecroTek sounds very awesome, and I have been hoping to read this book all year.  This should be a pretty epic release from Maberry, and I look forward to checking it out.

You Like It Darker by Stephen King (Trade Paperback)

You Like It Darker Cover

I have started reading the new Stephen King book, You Like It Darker, this week and it is proving to be particularly epic.  Featuring a collection of short stories and novellas, You Like It Darker is pretty damn addictive, especially as most of the stories are very dark and have sinister endings to them.  I am hoping to get through this book in the next few days and I feel that You Like It Darker is going to be one of my favourite books of the year.

Star Trek: Pliable Truths by Dayton Ward (Audiobook)

Star Trek - Pliable Truths Cover

It has been a little while since I got the opportunity to read a piece of Star Trek extended fiction, but one of the latest releases, Pliable Truths, sounded too interesting to pass up.  Written by one of the most prolific authors of Star Trek fiction, Dayton Ward, Pliable Truths serves as a bridging novel between The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine television series and will force the Enterprise crew to engage in important negotiations.  I am having a good time listening to Pliable Truths and I cannot wait to see how it turns out.

What did you recently finish reading?

Eruption by Michael Crichton and James Patterson (Trade Paperback)

Eruption Cover

I manage to finish off the epic thriller Eruption by the surprising team of the late Michael Crichton and bestselling author James Patterson this week. A fast-paced and very exciting novel, Eruption proved to be a compelling read with a fun story behind it.

Amazon

 

Point Nemo by Jeremy Robinson (Audiobook)

Point Nemo Cover

I also finally finished off the audiobook version of Point Nemo by Jeremy Robinson I was listening to.  An awesome and unique novel that sees a small group journey to an alien landscape that forms in the middle of the most remote ocean, Point Nemo is a captivating and electrifying adventure that proves hard to put down.  An outstanding read I am hoping to review soon, Point Nemo comes very highly recommended, especially in its audiobook format.

Amazon

 

Camino Ghosts by John Grisham (Trade Paperback)

Camino Ghosts Cover 2

Finally, I managed to quickly get through the new legal thriller from John Grisham, Camino Ghosts.  A highly comfy and addictive novel, Camino Ghosts is a very interesting book and I’m glad I checked it out.

Amazon

What do you think you’ll read next?

The Mercy Chair by M. W. Craven

The Mercy Chair Cover

I’ve got quite a few interesting books that I need to get through at the moment, but I think I will probably try to read The Mercy Chair by M. W. Craven next.  A unique sounding thriller from a particularly epic author, The Mercy Chair looks set to be an excellent novel and I have heard some amazing things about it.
