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:
Buried Deep and Other Stories by Naomi Novik (Trade Paperback)
I just started reading the intriguing new Naomi Novik book, Buried Deep and Other Stories. A collection of short stories from the acclaimed fantasy author, Buried Deep and Other Stories features an intriguing array of tales from Novik’s various fantasy worlds, including the setting of her next big series. I have already gotten through the first story and it proved to be a lot of fun. I will hopefully get through the rest of the book pretty quickly and I look forward to seeing what other great adventures it contains
Warhammer 40,000: Above and Beyond by Denny Flowers (Audiobook)
I was still in a massive Warhammer 40,000 mood this week, so I started listening to Above and Beyond by Denny Flowers, which I had been really looking forward to. The sequel to one of my favourite Warhammer 40,000 novels, Outgunned, Above and Beyond places the protagonists of the first book, a disgraced propaganda expert and a legendary, if exceedingly cynical, pilot, in a new dangerous situation. A compelling mixture of action, intrigue, and eccentric characters, all while providing a particularly dark look at the Warhammer 40,000 universe, Above and Beyond is an exceptional read and one I will hopefully knock off very soon.
What did you recently finish reading?
The Waiting by Michael Connelly (Trade Paperback)
Another outstanding novel from Connelly. Featuring three fantastic major protagonists, The Waiting had some very clever mysteries in it, and this was one of the best crime fiction reads of 2024.
Warhammer 40,000: Dominion Genesis by Jonathan D. Beer (Audiobook)
Another outstanding Warhammer 40,000 novel that focused on a unique faction in the game, Dominion Genesis by Jonathan D. Beer was a particularly intriguing and compelling novel that I could not get enough of. Review to hopefully follow soon.
How to Become the Dark Lord and Die Trying by Django Wexler (Trade Paperback)
One of the funniest and most compelling fantasy novels of 2024. I loved this comedic take on the classic heroic tale, especially as Wexler made it very over-the-top in all the right ways.
Rebellion by Richard Cullen (ebook)
An excellent and exciting historical fiction novel that focused on an intriguing period of English history. I had a lot of fun with Rebellion, especially as I was in the mood for a fun and entertaining historical adventure.
What do you think you’ll read next?
The Heart of the World by Amie Kaufman
I’m planning to read the intriguing young adult fantasy novel The Heart of the World by Australian author Amie Kaufman next. The sequel to The Isles of the Gods, The Heart of the World will take Kaufman’s teenage protagonists on a dark and intense journey as they try to stop a destructive war.
The Fury of the Gods by John Gwynne
I am also planning to start reading the new John Gwynne book, The Fury of the Gods, in the next week. The final book in Gwynne’s epic and exceptional Bloodsworn Saga (see my reviews for The Shadow of the Gods and The Hunger of the Gods), The Fury of the Gods has so much awesome potential and it will probably end up being one of my favourite fantasy books of 2024.
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.
