Books for the TBR Pile... 'Tiny' Edition

Because it's the last week before payday and book hunting tends to slow down to a crawl at around about this time. It's not just that though, I'm also trying to get through the massive backlog of books in my flat. There's nothing quite like a flat full of books but I've been running out of room, to keep them, for a while now and I need to take action. 'Varying degrees of success' best describes my efforts but I'll keep trying ;o)

Having said all of that though, if I see interesting books then of course I'm still going to buy them :o) Luckily for me, there were only a couple that I saw this week. Here they are,


I will never not buy a Moorcock book if I see it.... ;o) I've never read 'King of the City' so am looking forward to giving it a read. I'm not sure quite when that will be though, it's not like I don't have loads to read first. It's a 'definite read' though, no question about it.
And 'The Red Knight'... Here's a book that was published when my first blog was doing it's thing; I never got round to reading it back then (and I did have a review copy) but I've heard loads of good things about the series, recently, so thought I'd treat myself to a second hand copy. Again, I'm not sure quite when I'll get to it but the thickness of the book suggests that it could be a holiday read, I guess I'll just have to book a holiday then... ;o)

And that's pretty much it for 'books bought' this week, we'll see what the next week holds. In the meantime, I'll be back into 'The Justice of Kings' which is shaping up to be quite the read, maybe even something a bit special. What are you reading now?

‘The Long and Hungry Road’ – Adrian Tchaikovsky (Black Library)

After not finishing ‘Witchbringer’ (not the book’s fault, I still think it could be worth your time), I thought I’d change pace a little and go for a short, sharp burst of something instead. Something that would blow a few cobwebs away and wake me up a bit :o) Now in my experience, there’s nothing shorter and sharper than a Warhammer short story so that was the direction of my reading taken care of. And as far as the focus went… I’ve read a few Warhammer tales, in my time, but I’ve never read a tale that looks at the events of the 41st Millennium through the eyes of the rapacious Tyranids. So when I saw ‘The Long and Hungry Road’ on Amazon, it pretty much chose itself. To face a Tyranid invasion is a waking nightmare. The skies darken with spores, your mind echoes with alien screeches, and countless weapon-organisms descend upon you with razor teeth and claws. How much greater would your horror be, to realise that the hive ship above thinks nothing of your fate – that it crushes you

'Mad God' (2021)

It's that time again where Youtube throws me a 'Shudder' advert and I think to myself, 'I'm paying five quid a month for this, I really should watch something, lets give it a go...'   This time round, 'It' was the film 'Mad God' and the trailer was this mad batshit crazy shot of stop-motion horror that was over before I'd had a chance to get my head round it; leaving me pretty unsettled but with no clear idea just why that was... That's all I need sometimes, I was in... It's almost an hour later and, damn, that was grim, bleak and... What the hell just happened? A corroded diving bell descends amidst a ruined city and the Assassin emerges from it to explore a labyrinth of bizarre landscapes inhabited by freakish denizens. That is about all I can tell you about 'Mad God' and that's only because I had a quick look on IMDB and that was all IMDB could tell me... 'Mad God' is any number of things but it's not

‘Worms of the Earth’ – Robert E. Howard.

Page Count: 27 Pages I have a copy of this on my shelf and the plan was to pick it up for a read on the way into work this morning. Well, that was the plan but I was half asleep, leaving the house, and totally forgot… No matter though, that’s what the Kindle app is for (although if I’d been a little more awake, I’d have read it off Project Gutenberg instead, you can find ‘Worms of the Earth’ Here ). 99p later and my ‘commute reading’ was secured 😉 I always seem to fall into the trap of just reading ‘Conan’ stuff whenever I fancy reading a little Howard. Not that that’s a bad thing, it’s just that there’s a lot of his other stories out there that are more than worth your time when you come across them. ‘Worms of the Earth’ is very much one of those tales but you knew that already, didn’t you? You didn’t? You should do something about that, take it from me… After witnessing one of his subjects die at the hands of Roman governor Titus Sulla, Bran Mak Morn vows vengeance on Sulla but at w
