Books for the TBR Pile... 'Late!' Edition

I thought I'd give myself the weekend off you see... ;o) And by that I mean I was up at Heathrow Airport, collecting my ex and the kids, on the Saturday and then back round theirs, on the Sunday, to help them get ready to go away again. It was a busy weekend and I'll be honest, the last thing I wanted to do was any blogging so... I didn't :o) 

All of which means that I've still got the weekend posts, that I was going to do over the... you know, as a little bit of insurance against what is shaping up to be a hectic week (before I go on leave again next week). Lets not hang around then. Here's a quick look at some books that have turned up recently and for whatever reason, didn't get their time in the sun. Until now that is...

You know how it is... You've had a crap day and so you buy yourself a little treat to cheer yourself up. I really need to find other ways of cheering myself up, like reading all these books that I've bought myself. But anyway, we're here now :o) I've really been enjoying my 'Age of Sigmar' reading so 'Storm Vault' was a must read (and by 'must read', I mean 'just as soon as I've finished a couple of other must reads'...) 'Last Resort' is written by Josh Reynolds and has zombies in it, that's all I needed to know ;o) Out of the two, 'Last Resort' will probably be read first.

For the first time in years, I finally made it back to the second hand book market on the South Bank! You should check it out if you ever get a chance, it is full of great books; well... apart from these two because I bought them ;o) I keep meaning to read more Sven Hassel but for now, I'll just have to keep buying them as I find them. Just need to work out what order they go in. And 'King Kull', well... I do have a copy of the Del Rey collection but I fell in love with the cover and here we are. Two books that will definitely be read but a little further down the line.

And last but not least... I've been meaning to read more 'Spawn' and this copy of Volume 2 will be read just as soon as I work out what happened to Volume 1, I know it's on a shelf somewhere...

And that's your lot for this week ;o) Anything here catch 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)

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...
