Books for the TBR Pile... 'Hello Weekend!' Edition

Thank goodness that week is over, 'double thank goodness' that this weekend is a long weekend... It hasn't been a bad week but there has been rather a lot of it so I'm glad to see the back of it to be honest ;o) I've got a busy weekend lined up but not that busy. Should be fun actually :o) 

But you're not here for that and you've done really well, letting me ramble when you want to see what the ol' book haul looks like this week. Not too bad as it happens :o) I had a little wander through Lewisham, one lunchtime, and it was like the charity shops knew I was in the area and had put all their best books out... I love a lunch break like that ;o) All of the following for just over six quid...


The British Heart Foundation Shop...

Apologies for the photo, not one of my best but you can make the books out ;o) I'm way behind on my 'Joe Abercrombie Reading' and 'Sharp Ends' is one of those books that I've yet to read so it was another case of 'See it, Buy it'. Hoping to get to this one fairly soon. And 'Deathwing'... I'm partial to a good 'Warhammer 40K' anthology so made sure I had this one too. This book could very well be a 'commute read' at some point so keep an eye open for it (or leave a comment if you want me to get to it sooner...)


The Cancer Research Shop...

And I will always pick up Robert Rankin books wherever I see them. Especially if I haven't read them before, 'double especially' if you can buy them 'two for a pound'. This is the second time I've found Robert Rankin books in the Cancer Research Store and I have a feeling that there are more hidden away in their storeroom so I'll be keeping an eye open for them, fingers crossed that there are more...


The Scope Shop...

And last but not least, another addition to my 'Fighting Fantasy' collection. I've never read 'Battleblade Warrior' so am looking forward to giving it a go when I get a chance, might even take my kids through it :o) I've got a few books to read first though.

And that's that for this week, not the biggest haul ever but it's still a good one. Anything there caught your eye? Leave a comment and let me know...

‘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...
