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 do you think you’ll read next?

So, let’s get to it.

What are you currently reading?

Fractal Noise by Christopher Paolini (Trade Paperback)

Fractal Noise Cover

I just started reading the new science fiction novel from Christopher Paolini, Fractal Noise. A prequel to his previous novel, To Sleep In A Sea of Stars, Fractal Noise is a compelling and harrowing space exploration novel and I have already been drawn into its high-concept science fiction narrative. I am about 50 pages in at the moment and I hope to finish it off soon.

The Traitor by Anthony Ryan (Audiobook)

The Traitor Cover

I was very happy to start listening to the third and final book in Anthony Ryan’s The Covenant of Steel trilogy, The Traitor, today. Following on from the outstanding novels, The Pariah and The Martyr, The Traitor is one of my most anticipated novels for 2023 and I have been looking forward to reading it for months. I only just started listening to this a couple of minutes ago so I can’t comment on it too much yet, however, The Traitor has a strong start to it and I cannot wait to see how this epic trilogy comes to an end.

What did you recently finish reading?

Kill For Me Kill For You by Steve Cavanagh (Trade Paperback)

Kill For Me Kill For You Cover

I managed to get through the cool thriller Kill For Me Kill For You by Steven Cavanagh this week. An intriguing take on the classic Strangers on a Train storyline that sees two women team up to kill the people who destroyed their lives, this was an awesome book and I loved how the complex and twist-laden story unfolded.

The Drowning Girls by Veronica Lando (Trade Paperback)

The Drowning Girls Cover

A fantastic and haunting Australian crime fiction novel, The Drowning Girls by Veronica Lando was an excellent read that I am really glad I managed to get through it this week.

Warhammer 40,000: The King of the Spoil by Jonathan D. Beer (Audiobook)

What do you think you’ll read next?

The Last True Templar by Boyd and Beth Morrison (ebook)

The Last True Templar Cover

I am in the mood for a good historical fiction novel, so the next book I am planning to read is the early copy of The Last True Templar I got through Netgalley. Written by the team of Boyd and Beth Morrison, The Last True Templar is the sequel to one of my favourite books from last year, The Lawless Land, which I had such an epic time with. This sequel will continue to follow the protagonists from the first book, an excommunicated knight and a fraudulent noblewoman, as they journey throughout medieval Europe. This time they will get involved in an insidious plot surrounding the Knights Templar and the many secrets they guarded. I have no doubt this will be another exceptional read and I cannot wait to dive into it.

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.
