An 'In Progress' TBR Pile...

This week hasn't been a bad one but it just hasn't been a week conducive to reading. In fact, the only reading I've really done (apart from 'An Occurrence in Crazy Bear Valley')  has been going through the feedback covering the documentation that I produce for work... One day, I will produce something for work that's perfect straight off the bat; not today though. Seriously, I could barely see what I'd written underneath everything else that everyone else had written. 

But anyway... In the absence of anything else, I thought it might be fun to post a picture of the books that I'm trying (and failing) to read right now. You can all laugh at my inability to finish all the cool books that everyone else read months ago ;o) I know it's not a race but I'm coming last anyway... When you've all finished laughing, maybe leave a comment saying what book I should concentrate on at the expense of all the others? Go on... Anyway, take a look at these lovely books, most of them with their spines hardly cracked... ;o)

I'll be honest, 'Eric' is there because it's an easy re-read (which I love) and it made me laugh to have 'Eric' and Elric' next to each other; now there's a crossover... Yes, I've picked up 'The Fortress of the Pearl' again. I don't like being beaten by a book, especially one that I know I'll end up enjoying.

'The Only Good Indians'... If there were more hours in the day, I'd have finished this book on Monday (it's good). Actually, if there were more hours in the day I'd probably have to use them to get more work done. I'll stick with the hours that I've got.

'The Call of the Bone Ships' is just amazing (what I've been able to read anyway) but the world is almost too rich... I get all engrossed, feel like I've been reading for ages and then look up to see a quarter of an hour has gone by and I've only read three pages. Again, I hate being beaten by books that I know I'll enjoy.

And last but not least, 'The Living Dead'. I'll be honest here and say that I'm taking my time over this one as it's the last bit of original zombie media that we'll see with Romero's name on it. It's yet to really get going but I've got faith in it, it'll happen :o)

And that's what the TBR Pile looks like at the moment. What book would you read first...?

‘Deathworlder’ – Victoria Hayward (Black Library)

Before I get into the review proper, thank you Black Library for sending me a copy of ‘Deathworlder’ in return for a fair and honest review. Talking of ‘fair and honest’… There will be loads of the latter but I enjoyed the hell out of ‘Deathworlder’ so… We’ll see how being fair goes ;o) That’s your only warning, lets talk ‘Deathworlder’… Lazulai is a world beyond the brink, its battle against the tyranids all but lost. Once-magnificent cities lie in ruin. The seas boil. The skies crack. Horrific alien bioforms devour. In mere days the planet will be consumed. The 903rd Catachan ‘Night Shrikes’ defend one of the last fortresses still standing. Led by Major Wulf Khan, to die fighting is all that is expected of them… until she is given one last mission: to lead a squad through the apocalypse and recover a piece of archeotech that may doom or deliver the entire Lazulai System. Facing insurmountable odds and zero hope for aid, the major must hold her squad together as they pick their way ...

‘Hellraiser 3: Hell on Earth’ (1992)

Image
Every time Halloween comes round, I promise myself that I’ll watch more horror films and read more horror fiction; we’re halfway through the month and you can see how that’s going so far… There’s still plenty of October left though so lets see how I do from now until the end of the month ;o) First up is ‘Hellraiser 3’ which I watched last night, mostly because I love it (you can tell how this post is going to go, sorry…) but also because it was cheap on Prime and I’m still just on the wrong side of payday. Here goes… TV reporter Joey Summerskill’s life is changed forever when she witnesses the horrific death of a teenager, torn apart by bloody chains. Joey’s search for a story leads her to the Lament Configuration Box but it has already been opened, waking an old evil from its slumber… Now Pinhead walks the earth once more, creating a new army of Cenobites from the transmuted flesh of his victims; his one desire to reclaim the Box. Even with help from an unexpected source, Joey Summers...

‘Cursed City’ – C.L. Werner (Black Library)

Image
I always have these vague ‘reading resolutions’, for the New Year and without fail, they all come to absolutely nothing. I still read loads, just none of the books that I meant to… This year is panning out slightly differently and I think I’m going to enjoy it. All the books that were originally ‘out of sight, out of mind’, in the loft at my old place, are now all over my new place and wherever I look, I’m constantly discovering books that I totally forgot I had but now quite fancy reading. Books like ‘Cursed City’ for example… I’m not going to tell you how long ‘Cursed City’ was sat in my loft, lets just say it was long enough for me to totally forget it was there and buy myself another copy… Oh well. I found it on the shelf the other day (only the one copy now) and figured it was way overdue a read, let me tell you about it… Ulfenkarn is a city of nightmares. Its vampiric rulers have indulged their bloodlust in every shadow-clad alley, turning the once-proud metropolis into a charnel...
