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:
Katabasis by R. F. Kuang (ebook)
I just started reading the fascinating new fantasy novel, Katabasis by acclaimed author R. F. Kuang in the next week. A curious and intense novel from a rising star in fantasy fiction, Katabasis has an intriguing plot about two rival students who must journey to hell to save their professor’s soul. I’ve made a good dent in Katabasis so far and I’m hoping to knock it off in the next week.
Born of an Iron Storm by Anthony Ryan (Audiobook)
I’ve also started listening to the excellent fantasy novel Born of an Iron Storm by Anthony Ryan. The sequel to last year’s A Tide of Black Steel, Born of an Iron Storm continues the great story from the first book, as several compelling characters attempt to survive an oncoming invasion from a previously hidden nation. While I haven’t made as much progress on A Tide of Black Steel as I had hoped this week, it is proving to be an outstanding listen, and I cannot wait to see where Ryan takes this epic tale of war, betrayal and hidden history.
What did you recently finish reading?
The Stolen by Vikki Petraitis (ebook)
I had an outstanding time finishing off the compelling Australian crime fiction novel, The Stolen by Vikki Petraitis this week. The sequel to Petraitis’s previous novel, The Unbelieved, The Stolen was an exceptional novel that covered some highly relevant social issues.
The Bone Raiders by Jackson Ford (Paperback)
I also had a lot of fun getting through The Bone Raiders by Jackson Ford. An exciting and highly entertaining fantasy novel about grassland raiders who attempt to train fire-breathing giant lizards to win a war, The Bone Raiders was a fantastic read that is really worth checking out. Review to hopefully follow soon.
Wyrd Sisters by Terry Pratchett (Audiobook)
A recent road trip gave me time to relisten to the classic Discworld novel, Wyrd Sisters. An outstanding early entry in the series from Terry Pratchett, Wyrd Sisters was so much fun to get through again, and I still love its clever story.
What do you think you’ll read next?
Everyone in this Bank is a Thief by Benjamin Stevenson
The next book that I am hoping to check out is the fun Australian murder mystery, Everyone in this Bank is a Thief by Benjamin Stevenson. The next book in the outstanding Ernest Cunningham series, Everyone in this Bank is a Thief looks set to be another hilarious and clever read, and I’m looking forward to checking it out.
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.
