WWW Wednesday is a weekly book meme run by Sam over at Taking on a World of Words. Check out her post and others over on her blog!
The Three Ws are:
What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading?
What do you think you’ll read next?
Currently Reading
I’m still in the middle of reading The Crocodile Hunter by Steve & Terri Irwin. I’m really enjoying it, but I wish I’d been faster about getting it finished. Some other things took precedent, which slowed my reading down. Oh well, here we are. I got surprisingly emotional during the last few chapters written by Terri, talking about how she met Steve. This was of course written before his untimely passing, so knowing what the future holds for the authors made some things retroactively sad. This book seems written for an easy reading experience, so it’s actually got me wanting to check out other books written about the Irwins that go into more detail.
Recently Finished
Over the weekend I did manage to read through Age of Reptiles: Ancient Egyptians by Ricardo Delgado. It was a much shorter reading experience from the omnibus, telling only one story throughout. I enjoyed it quite a bit; the art is fantastic and packed with small details. There are accompanying essays about how Delgado was influenced by old Westerns and Samurai movies when writing this story and the influence is easy to see. I was most interested in how he utilized the herd of sauropods in the story, giving them a more active role rather than being the usual big, lumbering herbivores that are often terrorized by predators. I’m sad to see that there aren’t any more of these books at the moment. I hope Delgado plans create more.
Reading Next
Since I’ve been so indecisive about what to read next, I’m just going to push myself to read something unfamiliar to me on my list: The Strings of Murder by Oscar de Muriel. All I can recall is that it’s the first in a series of fairly standalone mysteries, this one being a locked room mystery about a violinist murdered in his home. I keep saying I want to check out more mysteries, it’s time to make good. I was tempted to start reading Different Seasons by Stephen King, but I got paranoid that I have too many authors I keep going back to every year.
Until next week, thank you for reading! Feel free to share your own post down below.

I hope you’re enjoying them 🙂
Oooh – The Strings of Murder book looks so good! I have found that murder matches my quarantined mood much more than my usual fare. I’ve added this one to my TBR!

I hope you enjoy checking it out. I think I actually first heard about this book/series from another WWW too 🙂
A locked room mystery sounds super interesting! I’ve been reading more thriller-based mysteries over the last couple years, but I’m finding that I miss mysteries that have premises like this.
I still need to properly start checking them out. So many other blogs talk about them, but it’s not a genre I’d looked at much myself. They all got me wanting to see what it is I’m missing out on.
I definitely like the sound of the Age of Reptiles, and I think I’m going to have to read that. Color me intrigued! I especially love that sauropods get a bigger role, or at least a different role. Sauropods are dinosaurs, too, yo. Strings Murder sounds really interesting. Hope you enjoy it!
