Totally Unrealistic Reading Plans For This Week...

This week is meant to be about hanging out with my daughters and having some fun while their Mum is working; if I don't have something planned for every day this week (spoiler: I really don't...) then I could be in a world of trouble... That being the case then, why am I writing a post about my reading plans for the week...?

Well, natural optimism to one side (why do I never learn...?), I'm pretty excited about some of the books that I found, on the TBR Piles, and if I get half a chance then I'm going to be into them. How many of them will be finished by the end of the week? I'll tell you in a week ;o) In the meantime, lets see what's what,

The Main Reads...

It has been ages since I've read a zombie book so I thought I'd do something about that by getting into 'Last Resort', it's looking promising so far and is the main read for the week :o) If by any chance I finish that, it will be onto 'The Jewel in the Skull'. I didn't think I had a copy but what do I know? I've been thinking about a 'Hawkmoon' re-read and that may start this week...

The Comic Books...

I'll be honest, you're more likely to see these reviewed this week as I'll be picking them up as and when I need a break from the books above. And that's it really, sometimes the books chose themselves and there's not a lot more that you can say ;o)

The Stand-by Books...

Just in case I finish the 'Main Reads', stranger things have happened you know ;o) The 'Scorpion' books have let me in the mood for another (hopefully better) creature feature and that just so happens to be Matt Shaw's 'Infestation'. And 'The Children of Hurin' pretty much speaks for itself, a chance to read one of the better stories in 'The Silmarillion' without having to go through the whole bloody book (large chunks of which I do not get on with at all).

And that is that, lets see how I do with this 'mini TBR pile'... ;o)

‘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...
