Books for the TBR Pile... 'Yep, I know...' Edition

I know... I said that I was going to try and cut back on the ol' book buying ahead of a weekend away in a couple of weeks. That was the plan but then the last five days happened and 'Past Graeme' decided that 'Future Graeme' could do with a few treats (thanks, 'Past Graeme). As per usual, it's nothing that I can't handle but there's a hell of a lot of work to be done and only one of me to complete it all ahead of deadlines. This does get me down but it's the nature of the job and I do have some time off next week so... Hopefully I can relax a little ahead of going back. 

But anyway... Sorry for banging on like that, I wouldn't have minded if you'd just scrolled down to the pictures ;o) Basically, I got paid and work was stressing me out so, book buying happened; that's the long and short of it. Come and take a look at what I bought,


I've given up trying to read this series in any kind of order but luckily, I know where it's all headed so I can just jump up and down the timeline however I see fit ;o)
I was going to wait for 'Echoes of Eternity' to be released as a paperback but Amazon had it on offer so I took the leap. I've read a couple of chapters and it's looking like it's going to be very much an excellent read. There's a lot of it though so you're going to have to wait a little bit for a review.
'Mortis' was also on offer but I was always going to have a copy, just look at that gorgeous cover ;o) I don't know when I'm going to get round to reading this, hopefully soon.


Another 'Age of Sigmar' book? Hell yes when it's written by C.L. Werner, one of the better Black Library fantasy writers. This may end up coming with me on my weekend away, we'll see.
And 'The Final Girl Support Group' is a book that's been sat on my Amazon wish list for bloody ages and seeing as we're in October now... Well, it seemed like a good time to pick it up ;o) To be read... hopefully this month, that's the plan, lets see.

And that is that for today, it's going to be another busy one so I'm going to stop here. Anything take your fancy? Have you read 'The Final Girl Support Group' and want to tell me what you think? Either way, leave a comment and let me know... ;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)

Image
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...
