Books for the TBR Pile... 'Another week? Oh go on then...' Edition

Bloody hell, I'd only just got last week out of the way and now here's another one to deal with. It's cool, I've got this ;o) This should have been yesterday's post but yesterday ended up kind of getting away from me (not in a bad way, just incredibly busy) so it's today's post instead. If I hadn't said, you probably wouldn't have noticed... ;o)

But anyway...

We're entering that time of the month, once again, where the book purchases start to dry up, mostly because I need to buy food but also because a tiny, guilty part of me starts to think about all the books that I've bought and should be reading... I'm working on that but in the meantime, a few books have still managed to find their way back to mine, just a few... Let me show you.

A day will come when I do one of these posts and don't feature a book by Guy N. Smith. Today though... Today is not that day ;o) I saw 'Satan's Snowdrop' going cheap on eBay and had to grab it, wasn't too impressed at how it was packaged (it had somehow managed to stick to the bubble wrap inside the envelope and I was lucky not to lose a chunk of the back cover) but it's mine now and that's the main thing, ticking another book off the list ;o) Just need to find the time to read it now, I do have a large number of Guy N. Smith books to read first.

I have no idea why I bought 'Frenzy', just that it seemed like a good idea at the time so I went and did just that. Again, just need to make some time to read it now. Has anyone else read 'Frenzy'?


This one's easy. I bought 'The Hunger of the Gods' because I absolutely loved 'The Shadow of the Gods' (Review) and had to keep reading. No prizes for guessing which book is now hovering around the top end of the TBR pile ;o)


And when you see a copy of 'Kick-Ass 2' for £1.50, in your local Sue Ryder shop, you grab it before someone else does. It's that simple. It might even encourage me to finally pick up 'Kick-Ass' for a re-read, maybe... Either way, there are some other comic books that I need to read first, 'Kick-Ass 2' will have to wait a bit.

And that's your lot for this week ;o) Leave a comment if you've read 'Frenzy' and want to tell me about it...

'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

‘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

‘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
