Books for the TBR Pile... '(Insert Title Here)' Edition

Yep, I've got nothing today as far as 'Post Titles' go, I'll let you come up with the good stuff  ;o) It's been a busy week, what with one thing and another, and I'm so glad that the weekend has finally decided to show up. I don't really have any plans (I'm on call for work, this weekend, so don't dare make any!), I'm just going to read some books and hang out with my kids :o) What are you guys up to...?

In a move that should surprise absolutely no-one by now (because it's me), a few more books have found their way back to my flat this week. I keep telling myself to take a break, and actually work through at least one of the TBR piles, but then... Well, you know what happens next ;o) There were slim pickings in the charity shops this week but eBay proved to be a little more fruitful for my Guy N. Smith collection. Lets take a look...


Charity shops books first :o) 'The Reapers are the Angels' is possibly one of the best zombie books ever written (at least from where I'm sat anyway) but my old copy went the way of a lot of my old books while I was flitting between places to live. I saw this copy in the Cancer Research shop and figured it was due a re-read. Just need to figure out when...
I've never read 'Grailblazers' but am still on the lookout for funny reads so figured I may as well pick it up while I was in the shop. Given my mood at the moment, I'll probably pick this one up before 'The Reapers are the Angels', we'll see...


And here are the eBay purchases ;o) As you can see, my 'Guy N. Smith' collection continues to grow a few books at a time. 'Bloodshow' is actually an earlier purchase that somehow never made it into a 'Books' post. 'Witch Spell' and 'Wolf Curse' are a couple of books that you don't normally see on eBay so I'm counting myself lucky that I was able to grab them. I seem to have ended up with quite the pile of Guy N. Smith books, still to be read, so don't be surprised to see these two pop up in the near future.

And that's me for this week, I'm off to read a book ;o) Have a good one, whatever you're up to!

‘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...
