WWW Wednesday – 17 July 2019

I’ve seen a few bloggers I follow participate in WWW Wednesday recently and I thought it would be an interesting and fun new meme to take part in. 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?

Star Wars: Thrawn: Treason by Timothy Zahn (trade paperback).
I am about halfway through this book at the moment and it is pretty awesome. I loved the first two books in this series, Thrawn and Alliances, and Treason looks like it will do an amazing job finishing it off.

King of Assassins by R. J. Barker (audiobook).
I am finally getting around to reading another book on my Top Ten Books I Wish I Read in 2018 list by checking out the audiobook version of King of Assassins. I’m one-third through this audiobook at the moment and I am really enjoying it.

What did you recently finish reading?

The Kremlin Strike by Dale Brown

Nothing Ventured by Jeffrey Archer

A Capitol Death by Lindsey Davis (review to follow soon)

What do you think you’ll read next?

I am not entirely sure. I have a massive pile of books sitting at home at the moment and I want to read all of them, but for the sake of this question I have narrowed the list down to the top five I am currently considering:

Star Trek: The Captain’s Oath by Christopher L. Bennett

Guardian of the Empire by Kylie Chan

The Girl Who Could Move Sh*t With Her Mind by Jackson Ford

The Lost Ten by Harry Sidebottom

I honestly have no idea which one I am going to read next; they all sound pretty epic. What would you like to see a review of the most? This selection is likely to change at any moment for a variety of reasons, so don’t be surprised if the next book I end up reading is something extremely different.

I hope you enjoyed my first foray into WWW Wednesday; I know I did. I am planning to do this regularly from now on and I look forward to seeing what you think about the books I reading or planning to read and review in the near future.

Book Haul – 26 June 2019

I managed to get a pretty interesting haul of books in the last week and a half, and figured it was time to share before I get too distracted by the next batch of books I’m hoping to get.  The latest haul is a really cool mixture of books, and I am really keen to check them all out when I get a chance.

A Capitol Death by Lindsey Davis

I have been looking forward to this one for a few months and it is the only book on this list I spent some money on.  Given how much I loved Pandora’s Boy though, I know I’m going to enjoy this latest book in the Flavia Albia series.

The Need by Helen Phillips

One of the more unusual books I got this week, it sounds like the story looks at alternate realities which could be cool.

The Bastille Spy by C. S. Quinn

This one sounds like a pretty awesome historical fiction novel and it pretty high up on my to-read list at the moment.

Nothing Ventured by Jeffrey Archer

I was really happy to get a copy of the upcoming Jeffrey Archer book Nothing Ventured.  His last book, Heads You Win, was a great read and this new book looks really interesting.

The Girl Who Could Move Sh*t With Her Mind by Jackson Ford

The Girl Who Could Move Shit With Her Mind Cover.jpg

That title alone should explain why I want to read this book.

To Calais, In Ordinary Time by James Meek

Set during a chaotic period of history, this looks like it will be a powerful historical drama and could be a great read.

 

Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson

I only just got this book today, but I am really keen to check it out.  It sounds like a pretty cool young adult fantasy novel and I am very much looking forward to reading it.
