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:

Nobody’s Hero by M. W. Craven (Trade Paperback)

I have started reading the exciting thriller, Nobody’s Hero by M. W. Craven. The sequel to Craven’s previous novel, Fearless, Nobody’s Hero takes the author’s new protagonist on a dangerous mission to London when a mysterious woman from his past reemerges. I am having a blast reading this over-the-top thriller, and it is proving to be one of the most entertaining books of 2024.

Warhammer 40,000: Broken Crusade by Steven B. Fischer (Audiobook)

I was still in a major Warhammer 40,000 mood so I started listening to the latest release, Broken Crusade by Steven B. Fischer. Following on the grim and fanatical Black Templar Space Marine chapter, Broken Crusade really dives into the gothic elements of the Warhammer 40,000 novel to create a distinctive setting. I have only listened to a little bit of Broken Crusade so far, and I am looking forward to seeing where this cool book goes.

What did you recently finish reading?

Everyone This Christmas Has A Secret by Benjamin Stevenson (Hardcover)

I powered through this cool follow up to Stevenson’s previous books, Everyone in My Family has Killed Someone and Everyone on this Train is a Suspect this week. Everyone This Christmas Has A Secret is another unique murder mystery that sees the dysfunctional protagonist attempt to discover a murderer amongst a group of Christmas performers. Fun, clever and extremely funny.

Warhammer 40,000: Daemonhammer by Darius Hinks (Audiobook)

I also managed to complete this awesome Warhammer 40,000 novel by Darius Hinks, Daemonhammer. An addictive and intense read, I had a brilliant time getting through it.

The Ghosts of August by Peter Watt (Trade Paperback)

An exciting Australian novel with a deep war story behind it.

What do you think you’ll read next?

Revenge of Rome by Simon Scarrow

I’ve still got a ton of great 2024 novels to read, but I think the next one I’ll read is the new Simon Scarrow book, Revenge of Rome. A particularly intense entry in the series, Revenge of Rome will see the series protagonists embark on a desperate hunt for a fugitive queen in order to get their revenge. I know I am going to love this book, and I cannot wait to check it out.

Endgame by Sarah Barrie

I am also hoping to read the awesome and dark Australian thriller Endgame by Sarah Barrie. The final book in her Lexi Winters series, Endgame will set an unconventional cop against a deadly killer in a revenge filled game of cat-and-mouse. This will probably end up being one of the best Australian novels of 2024 and I am deeply excited to finally read 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.

Everyone This Christmas Has A Secret by Benjamin Stevenson (Hardcover)

I just started reading the awesome Australian murder mystery novel, Everyone This Christmas Has A Secret by Benjamin Stevenson. The follow up to Stevenson’s previous books, Everyone in My Family has Killed Someone and Everyone on this Train is a Suspect, Everyone This Christmas Has A Secret is another unique murder mystery that sees the dysfunctional protagonist attempt to discover a murderer amongst a group of Christmas performers. Once again combining a clever investigation with comedy and a satirical look at the murder mystery genre, Everyone This Christmas Has A Secret should be a particularly awesome read and I will probably knock it off in the next day or so.

Warhammer 40,000: Daemonhammer by Darius Hinks (Audiobook)

I am still powering through every 2024 Warhammer 40,000 novel I can, so I just started listening to the new book from Darius Hinks (whose previous novel, Leviathan, was delightfully dark). This new book, Daemonhammer, sets an aging Imperial Inquisitor against deadly hidden forces in an elaborate game of cat and mouse. I haven’t made a lot of progress on Daemonhammer yet, but I am already quite curious about where the plot is going.

What did you recently finish reading?

Blood Over Bright Haven by M. L. Wang (Trade Paperback)

I managed to get through the awesome fantasy novel, Blood Over Bright Haven this week, and boy was it awesome. The new book from acclaimed author M. L. Wang, Blood Over Bright Haven was a particularly powerful and inventive fantasy novel that I had such a brilliant time with. Clever, tragic, and filled with some unique fantasy features, Blood Over Bright Haven was so damn good, and I am very glad I decided to check it out.

Darkside by Michael Mammay (Audiobook)

I absolutely powered through the epic science fiction thriller Darkside by Michael Mammay this week as well. The fourth book in Mammay’s Planetside series (made up of Planetside, Spaceside and Colonyside), Darkside brings back the author’s controversial protagonist as he investigates a missing persons case on a moon-based mining colony, run by two companies who have both tried to kill him in the past. This proved to be an excellent and fast-paced book, and I am hoping to get a review up for it soon.

What do you think you’ll read next?

The Ghosts of August by Peter Watt

The next book I am hoping to read is the new Australian historical fiction novel, The Ghosts of August. The final entry in Peter Watt’s Colonial series, The Ghosts of August should be a compelling and exciting book, as the various members of a prominent family deal with the chaos surrounding World War I.

Nobody’s Hero by M. W. Craven

I am also hoping to read the exciting thriller, Nobody’s Hero by M. W. Craven. The sequel to Craven’s previous novel, Fearless, Nobody’s Hero will taking the author’s new protagonist on a dangerous mission to London. I am really looking forward to reading this over-the-top thriller, especially as Craven’s other 2024 novel, The Mercy Chair, proved to be particularly impressive.

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.

I’ve just started to read the intriguing young adult fantasy novel The Heart of the World by Australian author Amie Kaufman. The sequel to The Isles of the Gods, The Heart of the World takes Kaufman’s teenage protagonists on a dark and intense journey as they try to stop a destructive war while also dealing with two angry gods using them as vessels. The Heart of the World is so far proving to be an intriguing and fast-paced book, and I cannot wait to see how it ends.

The Fury of the Gods by John Gwynne (Audiobook)

I also started listening to the new John Gwynne book, The Fury of the Gods. The final entry in Gwynne’s epic and exceptional Bloodsworn Saga (see my reviews for The Shadow of the Gods and The Hunger of the Gods), The Fury of the Gods is a particularly awesome book that I am deeply enjoying. Showcasing the final battle between wrathful gods and a small group of great characters, The Fury of the Gods is very addictive, and I have made a bit of progress on it so far.

This was an excellent read, and I enjoyed seeing how imaginative Novik can get.

Warhammer 40,000: Above and Beyond by Denny Flowers (Audiobook)

I absolutely powered through Above and Beyond by Denny Flowers this week, it was so damn good. The sequel to one of my favourite Warhammer 40,000 novels, Outgunned, Above and Beyond places the protagonists of the first book, a disgraced propaganda expert and a legendary, if exceedingly cynical, pilot, in a new dangerous situation. A compelling mixture of action, intrigue, and eccentric characters, all while providing a particularly dark look at the Warhammer 40,000 universe, Above and Beyond is an exceptional read and one I will hopefully review soon.
