WWW Wednesday – 28 September 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?

Star Wars: The Princess and the Scoundrel by Beth Revis (Trade Paperback)

Star Wars - The Princess and the Scoundrel Cover

I just started to read the new Star Wars release, The Princess and the Scoundrel by Beth Revis.  Set immediately after the events of Return of the Jedi, this cool book explores the relationship between Han Solo and Princess Leia in the current Star Wars canon.  Featuring both their wedding and their turbulent honeymoon, this is a must-read for all Star Wars fans, and I am already having a great time getting through it.

The Martyr by Anthony Ryan (Audiobook)

The Martyr Cover

I have also just started the new Anthony Ryan book, The Martyr, which was one of my most anticipated books of the year. The sequel to the impressive 2021 novel, The PariahThe Martyr is a brilliant fantasy adventure about a young bandit turned scribe who finds his fate bound to bold and pious warrior woman, who is set to bring real change to an intriguing fantasy realm.  I have been having a lot of fun with this audiobook and I have already made a ton of progress on it.  I very excited to see what happens next, and this is already turning out to be one of the better fantasy books of 2022.

What did you recently finish reading?

The Golden Enclaves by Naomi Novik (Trade Paperback)

The Golden Enclaves Cover Better

Well, I was certainly impressed with The Golden Enclaves by Naomi Novik.  The epic sequel to A Deadly Education and The Last GraduateThe Golden Enclaves was one of my most anticipated novels of 2022, especially after the epic cliff-hanger Novik left at the end of The Last Graduate.  While the story went in some different directions than I was expecting, this was still a very impressive read that did an incredible job wrapping up a pretty epic series.  I really appreciated the way that Novik answered several of the linger questions from the first two novels, and this was an excellent final book that comes very highly recommended.

The Bullet that Missed by Richard Osman (Audiobook)

The Bullet That Missed Cover

I just finished listening to the third book in the awesome Thursday Murder Club series by Richard Osman, The Bullet That Missed follows on from The Thursday Murder Club and The Man Who Died Twice, both of which were incredible reads.  This latest book contained another exceptional mystery as the titular Thursday Murder Club, four unusual retirees with a talent for solving crimes, embarked on investigating another compelling murder.  Loaded with amazing humour, an excellent mystery and some sensational characters, The Bullet That Missed is another top book of 2022 and I am so very glad I got the chance to read it.  Review to follow soon.
