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:

The Winter Palace by Paul Morgan (Trade Paperback)

The Winter Palace Cover

I’m still going with the historical drama, The Winter Palace by Paul Morgan. Set during World War II, The Winter Palace follows a separated Polish husband and wife duo as they attempt to get back to each other. I didn’t make as much progress with The Winter Palace as I had hoped this week, but I am still enjoying its intriguing narrative. I will probably finish it off tomorrow and I look forward to seeing how Morgan brings everything together.

The Atlas Maneuver by Steve Berry (Audiobook)

The Atlas Maneuver Cover

I finally started listening to The Atlas Maneuver by Steve Berry this week. The latest book in the long-running Cotton Malone series, The Atlas Maneuver features an intriguing story about Japanese war loot and cryptocurrency as Berry once again blends historical conspiracies with modern day thriller storylines. I am about halfway through The Atlas Maneuver and I should hopefully finish it off within the next week.

What did you recently finish reading?

Peace Talks by Jim Butcher (Audiobook)

Peace Talks Cover

I finally finished off the entire Dresden Files series, by reading the 16th book, Peace Talks. A slightly shorter entry in the series that serves as a prelude to the epic book Battle Ground, Peace Talks is a compelling read that sees the protagonist deal with a supernatural peace summit in Chicago. This ended up being an outstanding additional to the series, so make sure to check out my review for it here.

What do you think you’ll read next?

The Last Murder at the End of the World by Stuart Turton

The Last Murder at the End of the World Cover

The next book I am planning to dive into is the intriguing science fiction thriller, The Last Murder at the End of the World by Stuart Turton. Set in a post-apocalyptic world, this book follows a small town of survivors who need to quickly solve a murder. However, everyone in the town, including the murderer, has forgotten the events of the previous night, complicating the investigation. I love the complex sound of this amazing mystery and I have no doubt The Last Murder at the End of the World is going to be an exceptional read.

The Gathering by C. J. Tudor

The Gathering Cover

I also have plans to read the new C. J. Tudor novel, The Gathering this week. A fantastic sounding murder mystery/horror hybrid, The Gathering is set in a world where vampires exist and where the protagonist needs to discover if a gruesome murder was committed by a local vampire or a human killer. This novel has so much potential, and I cannot wait to see what outstanding mystery Tudor has pulled together.

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.
