Books for the TBR Pile... 'That Pesky Wabbit!' Edition

A few days ago, my ex picked up a rescue rabbit, the most adorable fluffy little thing you've ever seen. We've all fallen in love with her but the poor little thing has gone through a fair bit of upheaval, before ending up at my ex's, and gets stressed very quickly, making a beeline for her favourite hiding place (behind the drinks cabinet) if things get a little too much for her. It'll take a little time but we're working to settle her in and chill out her out as well. If you're reading this and have any tips on de-stressing rabbits, leave a comment on this post or drop me an email; I'd love to hear from you :o)

And now, onto the books...

It's been a quiet week on the book buying front, I'm trying to buy fewer books anyway but I've also got a weekend away coming up and I'm trying to save book shopping for then. But... It's me :o) A few books have turned up this week, just a few but I think they're going to be good ones (I would say that but even so...) Check them out...

Brian Keene recommended 'The Drive-In', in a couple of his essays, so I thought I really ought to give it a shot. And that's exactly what I'm doing at the time of writing... ;o) That doesn't happen often but I gave the first couple of pages a go and I've been hooked ever since. I've probably given the game away but I'm still going to review 'The Drive-In' this week ;o)

And 'Broken Honour'... Here's a book that I thoroughly enjoyed back in the day and have been searching for another copy ever since. eBay sorted me out and 'Broken Honour' turned up the other day. I'd like to think I'll get to it sooner rather than later but I know what work has in store this week so... we'll see ;o)

I watched 'My Best Friend's Exorcism' the other day and loved it, a lot of fun and properly creepy in all the right places. Buying the book was a no-brainer then ;o) The plan is to make it a Halloween Read but lets see how my other books go first...

And I'm really starting to get into 'Warhammer Horror' now so 'Gothghul Hollow' was another easy purchase. I'm wondering whether I can fit this into Halloween as well, is it time to rearrange my 'Primary TBR Pile' again? Maybe...

And that's your lot for this week. If there are any books here you'd like me to bump up the TBR, of if you know your stuff about rabbits, 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...
