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 Judge’s List by John Grisham (Trade Paperback)

The Judge's List Cover

I started reading this fun thriller from bestselling author John Grisham today and I am really getting into it. The Judge’s List has a fantastic narrative about a serial killer judge with a great, slow-burn investigation into his crimes. I have already powered through more than 100 pages today and I am hoping to finish it off soon. A great read that I would strongly recommend.

Never by Ken Follett (Audiobook)

Never Cover

I also recently started the new thriller by impressive author Ken Follett, Never. This is an interesting book from Follett that envisions a potential scenario that could lead to World War III. I mostly know Follett from his massive historical fiction reads, but I am rather enjoying this interesting and intense thriller novel. I haven’t made an amazing amount of progress on this audiobook but I am hoping to make a dent in it soon and I am very curious to see how Never turns out.

What did you recently finish reading?

Unfortunately, I failed to finish any books off in the last week as I was a little focused on writing up some reviews, as well as some other stuff. I did make some progress on both of the above and I will finish them off in the next day or so. I have some holiday leave coming up, so hopefully I will be able to get a few more novels read before the end of the year.

All of us Villains by Amanda Foody and Christine Lynn Herman (Trade Paperback)

I just started reading the cool young adult fantasy novel, All of us Villains, by the writing team of Amanda Foody and Christine Lynn Herman. All of us Villains is an intriguing novel that follows seven magical teens as they engage in a murderous tournament to gain absolute power for their families. I love a good battle royale tournament, especially one loaded with magic and troubled teenagers, and I cannot wait to see how this fantastic novel turns out.

Cytonic by Brandon Sanderson (Audiobook)

I also just started listening to the latest Brandon Sanderson novel, Cytonic. Cytonic, which is one of my most anticipated reads of 2021, is the third novel in Sanderson’s epic Skyward young adult science fiction series. This series, which has already featured the outstanding Skyward and Starsight, follows a teenage fighter pilot as she attempts to save her planet from attacking aliens. I have deeply enjoyed the first two novels in this series, and I cannot wait to see what happens in this third amazing entry.

It Ends in Fire by Andrew Shvarts (Hardcover)

I just started reading It Ends in Fire by Andrew Shvarts, a fantastic and compelling young adult fantasy novel that serves as a fun deconstruction of the classic magical school narrative. I have been looking forward to this book for a while, mainly because Shvarts’ last series, the Royal Bastards trilogy was pretty damn amazing (check out my reviews of City of Bastards and War of the Bastards). I am about 100 pages in It Ends in Fire at the moment, and the plot so far features a young rebel who infiltrates a fantasy nation’s premier magic school (essentially an evil Hogwarts) to kill everyone. I look forward to seeing how it turns out and I am expecting a fun and thrilling story.

Star Wars: Thrawn Ascendancy: Lesser Evil by Timothy Zahn (Audiobook)

I was also extremely excited to start listening to the third and final book in the Thrawn Ascendancy trilogy, Lesser Evil, by Timothy Zahn. Serving as a prequel to the author’s outstanding Thrawn trilogy (Thrawn, Alliances and Treason), Lesser Evil follows on from the great Thrawn Ascendancy novels Chaos Rising and Greater Good and seeks to wrap up this complex tale. I have been powering through this novel in the last few days and I am hoping to knock it off very soon. I am having a blast with this final book, especially as a lot of the overarching series storylines are starting to come together in some amazing ways. I am extremely excited to see how this trilogy ends and Lesser Evil looks set to be the best book in this fantastic trilogy.

Among Thieves by M. J. Kuhn (Trade Paperback)

I started reading the awesome fantasy debut, Among Thieves by M. J. Kuhn, this week and it is proving to be an outstanding and excellent read. Set in a compelling new fantasy world, Among Thieves follows a group of rogues as they attempt a dangerous heist to steal a powerful magical item. I am deeply enjoying this fantastic novel and I look forward to all the fun twists and intense betrayals that are to come.

The Apollo Murders by Chris Hadfield (Audiobook)

I also started the intriguing science fiction debut, The Apollo Murders by Chris Hadfield, this week, and I have nearly finished it already. The Apollo Murders is an intense and clever alternate history thriller that follows a fictional Apollo mission to the moon, which involves murder, espionage, a stowaway Russian, and a ton of detail about spaceflight and moon landings. I have had an outstanding and incredible time listening to this novel, and I should hopefully finish it in the next day or so.

I just started reading the cool new book from debuting author Adam Simcox, The Dying Squad.

The Bone Ship's Wake Cover

I am still going with The Bone Ship’s Wake audiobook and I am hoping to finish it off in the next week or so. While I wish I was getting through this audiobook a little quicker, I am still having an amazing time with The Bone Ship’s Wake. Barker has written another intense and powerful dark fantasy read that makes full use of its unique setting and clever nautical elements. The Bone Ship’s Wake is proving to be quite an awesome read and I am extremely excited to see how Barker finishes off this epic and captivating trilogy.

I started reading this interesting young adult novel by Jennifer Lynn Alvarez and I am already pretty hooked.
