WWW Wednesday is a weekly post 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:
Dark Desert Road by Tim Ayliffe (ebook)
I’ve finally had the chance to start reading the awesome Australian crime fiction novel, Dark Desert Road by Tim Ayliffe, which has been on my to-read list for a while. A cool and intriguing new read from one of my favourite Australian authors, Dark Desert Road follows a Sydney police officer who journeys into the countryside, looking for her long-lost sister who has gotten herself caught up with a group of domestic terrorists. I’ve made a bit of progress on Dark Desert Road so far, and I am really enjoying its intriguing story, as well as Ayliffe’s complex take on some cotemporary Australian issues. I am hoping to finish this book off in the next couple of days, and I look forward to seeing what happens next.
Warhammer 40,000: Ghazghkull Thraka: Warlord of Warlords by Denny Flowers (Audiobook)
I also just started listening to one of the more entertaining recent entries from the Warhammer 40,000 series, Ghazghkull Thraka: Warlord of Warlords by the always impressive Denny Flowers. Another book from Flowers that focus on the volatile and brutal ork faction, Warlord of Warlords sees betrayal, intrigue and the usual ork carnage engulf the court of the infamous, Ghazghkull Thraka. Sure to be one of the more amusing and enjoyable Warhammer novels of 2026, Warlords of Warlords has so much potential, and I cannot wait to power through it in the coming week.
What did you recently finish reading?
The Blacktongue Thief by Christopher Buehlman (Paperback)
I had a lot of fun finally getting through the outstanding and highly regarded fantasy novel, The Blacktongue Thief. The first book from author Christopher Buehlman, The Blacktongue Thief was a great adventure story with an entertaining cast in brilliant dark fantasy world. This was a deeply impressive read, that lived up to the hype around it.
Pretenders to the Throne of God by Adrian Tchaikovsky (Audiobook)
I also finished off the excellent fantasy audiobook, Pretenders to the Throne of God by Adrian Tchaikovsky, this week, and boy was it something special. The fourth book in Tchaikovsky’s Tyrant Philosophers series, Pretenders to the Throne of God was an elaborate and captivating novel that I honestly could not get enough of. A highly recommended novel that is one of the better books of 2026, I am hoping to get a review up of it soon.
What do you think you’ll read next?
The Book of Fallen Leaves by A. S. Tamaki
I’m planning to read several cool debut novels in the coming week, including the awesome sounding new fantasy novel, The Book of Fallen Leaves. The first book from author A. S. Tamaki, The Book of Fallen Leaves is a Japanese inspired fantasy epic that I think has a ton of potential. I cannot wait to dive into this week, and it should be pretty awesome.
The Exes by Leodora Darlington
I am also hoping to read The Exes by Leodora Darlington in the coming week. Set to follow a complex character who finds herself involved in another problematic relationship, The Exes looks set to be a deadly and entertaining psychological thriller with some fun twists to it. This should be another fantastic debut novel, and I cannot wait to check it out.
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.
