Books for the TBR Pile... 'Back to the Old World' Edition.

Sorry for the 'blog silence' over the last couple of days... My girls came back from holiday, on Saturday, and there was never a question of my choosing between blogging and hanging out with them, they're great and I missed them :o) I've got a nice little pile of finished books though, so this week will be worth sticking around for; even more so if I can finish a couple of the books that I've got on the go. We'll see how it all goes...

In the meantime though, you're here for the book pictures aren't you? ;o) It's been a brilliant week for all that... If you've been around these parts for a while, you'll know that as much as I'm coming to enjoy the 'Age of Sigmar' books, I've always loved the 'Old World' setting and books. Things have to move on sometimes but I was gutted when the Old World breathed its last and I'm still a bit gutted to tell you the truth. Well... I can put all that to one side, for a bit anyway, as a random browse through Facebook led me to a group with a post selling a whole load of Warhammer Fantasy 'Old World' books for a price that I would have been stupid to ignore... So I didn't ;o) Turns out that Facebook is good something after all.

I've got some other books on the go right now but don't be too surprised if you see some of the following books pop up in my reading this side of Christmas...

I now own the whole 'Konrad' trilogy! I've only ever read the first book so am keen to see where the story takes me. And I ended up with an extra copy of 'Warblade' if anyone wants it?

I've read 'Riders of the Dead', way back in the day, but never got round to reading a copy of 'Hammers of Ulric' that I owned but had to get rid of . Looking forward to getting into these books sooner rather than later (how 'sooner' remains to be seen though, I've got a lot of other books to read as well)

I'll be completely honest, I've never read either of these book and only know as much about them as the blurb could tell me. It's 'Old World' though and that's all I need right now :o) They're not priority reads but I'm looking forward to reading them when I get the chance.

I love the whole Bretonnian thing (I mean, knights in armour...) and this collection is a nightmare to track down at a decent price so when I saw it in this bundle, honestly.. I really didn't hang around making the purchase. Again, to be read as and when I can make a gap in my other reading.

And that's it for this week but seriously, don't you think that's enough? I do ;o) Are there any books here that you'd like to see me bump up the TBR pile? 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...
