WWW Wednesday – 22 July 2026

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:

The Bone Docs by Matthew Scura (ebook)

I was the mood for something fun this week, so I decided to start reading the entertaining thriller The Bone Docs by Matthew Scura.  A unique survival thriller that sees two rival groups of dentists and chiropractors come to blows while trapped on a desert island, The Bone Docs has a very fun plot idea that really caught my attention.  I’ve made a bit of progress with The Bone Docs so far, and I can’t wait to see where Scura takes this great story.

Soulsmith by Will Wight (Audiobook)

After really loving the first book in Will Wight’s Cradle series, I instantly jumped onto the second book, Soulsmith.  An intriguing sequel that takes the protagonist away from his home valley into a world of insanely powerful people, Soulsmith is an outstanding read, and I’m very curious about how everything is going to unfold. An excellent second entry in a fantasy series I’m probably going to read a lot of in the coming year.

What did you recently finish reading?

The Detective Matthew Reilly (Trade Paperback)

I ended up reading the awesome 2025 novel, The Detective by Matthew Reilly this week. A compelling crime fiction novel from one of Australia’s top authors, The Detective ended up being a particularly addictive read, that I finished off in no time at all.  An exceptional novel that I am hoping to review soon, The Detective is so damn good, and I can’t wait to check out the sequel, King’s Ransom, later this year.

Unsouled by Will Wight (Audiobook)

An excellent read that I enjoyed so much, I am already reading the sequel.

What do you think you’ll read next?

Bad Neighbours by Joanna Jenkins

I’ve got a few books on my to-read list at the moment, but I think I’ll probably dive into the new Joanna Jenkins novel, Bad Neighbours next.  The follow-up to Jenkins’ previous books, How to Kill a Client and The Bluff, Bad Neighbours will follow the author’s recurring protagonist as she investigates a murder in her elite apartment complex. I’ve deeply enjoyed Jenkins’ first two books, and I have no doubt that Bad Neighbours will be a top book of 2026

Unsouled by Will Wight (Audiobook)

I’ve just started listening to the compelling fantasy novel, Unsouled by Will Wight.  The first book in the intriguing Cradle series, Unsouled has been on my to-read list for a while, mainly because everyone always talks so highly about the Cradle books.  I’m so far enjoying this first book, which is setting up both the protagonist’s narrative and the large universe the series is set in, and I’m very curious to see where this series goes.  I’m hoping to get through Unsouled this week, and this seems like a great start to a cool new series for me.

What did you recently finish reading?

Red Empire by Jonathan Maberry (Audiobook)

I managed to finish off the incredible audiobook, Red Empire this week.  The latest Rogue Team International novel by Jonathan Maberry, Red Empire was so damn good, combining intense action with some great historical universe developments around a key character.  I am hoping to have a review for Red Empire up soon, and this book comes highly recommended.

The Lineup by Nicholas Timms (Trade Paperback)

An outstanding Australian debut, that follows a former surfer who has to returned to the sport that traumatized him to solve a murder. A particularly impressive read and a great first outing from a cool new author.
