The WWW Wednesday meme was formerly hosted by MizB at A Daily Rhythm and revived by Sam @ Taking on a World of Words. It’s a great way to do a weekly update on what you’ve been reading and what you have planned. To take part all you have to do is answer the following three questions:
- What are you currently reading?
- What did you recently finish reading?
- What do you think you’ll read next?
Currently Reading: A Column of Fire by Ken Follett.
This is the third and final book of the Kingsbridge saga (first two books: The Pillars of the Earth and World Without End). This time, it features Kingsbridge in 1558 -i.e., the Renaissance, a period I know quite well and wrote about a lot. Expect a review at some moment.
Recently 
finished: The Borders of Infinity by Lois McMaster Bujold.
This is not part of the Vorkosigan Saga‘s novel, but it’s a novella set in the same universe. It features Miles Vorkosigan escaping a prison where he has been thrown into by the Cetagandans. Impossible for a Miles-lover like me not to read it, right?
Reading Next: Rome. A History in Seven Sackings by Matthew Knea
le.
As a matter of fact, this is no fiction, but a history book, which incidentally won the Daily Telegraph’s Best History Books of 2017 and
Sunday Times’ Best History Books of 2017. The title is self-explanatory. Full disclosure: I was born in Rome, Italy, once upon a time. I bought this book the day it was out and I can’t wait to read it.
Have you read any of these books or something in kind this week? Please feel free to leave comments and links below.
I have not heard Ken Follett mentioned in a long time. Good to know he’s still being read
He is, indeed. And this one is a good final for the trilogy 🙂
I hope you’re loving Column of Fire. I read the first two Kingsbridge books and enjoyed them so I plan to read the third book… someday haha. Happy reading and thanks for participating in WWW Wednesday!
Worth doing it! I love this WWW Wednesday, and I’ll participate again 🙂
That book on Roman history looks really interesting. It’s historical ground I’ve tread before, but I can’t resist an opportunity to become more familiar with it.
Here’s my post:

I have a classical studies background, so I’ve read a lot about this topic, but I couldn’t resist the temptation 🙂
I haven’t heard of any of these, but they have such nice covers 🙂 happy reading!
Thanks Kay! 🙂
Rome sounds like an interesting textbook. That probably would’ve been useful in my Late Antiquity class I took last year. Happy reading!

Many thanks, I am going to check it out!
You can never go wrong with any one of Miles’ adventures 🙂
You’re so right! 🙂
