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)

‘The Long and Hungry Road’ – Adrian Tchaikovsky (Black Library)

After not finishing ‘Witchbringer’ (not the book’s fault, I still think it could be worth your time), I thought I’d change pace a little and go for a short, sharp burst of something instead. Something that would blow a few cobwebs away and wake me up a bit :o) Now in my experience, there’s nothing shorter and sharper than a Warhammer short story so that was the direction of my reading taken care of. And as far as the focus went… I’ve read a few Warhammer tales, in my time, but I’ve never read a tale that looks at the events of the 41st Millennium through the eyes of the rapacious Tyranids. So when I saw ‘The Long and Hungry Road’ on Amazon, it pretty much chose itself. To face a Tyranid invasion is a waking nightmare. The skies darken with spores, your mind echoes with alien screeches, and countless weapon-organisms descend upon you with razor teeth and claws. How much greater would your horror be, to realise that the hive ship above thinks nothing of your fate – that it crushes you

'Mad God' (2021)

It's that time again where Youtube throws me a 'Shudder' advert and I think to myself, 'I'm paying five quid a month for this, I really should watch something, lets give it a go...'   This time round, 'It' was the film 'Mad God' and the trailer was this mad batshit crazy shot of stop-motion horror that was over before I'd had a chance to get my head round it; leaving me pretty unsettled but with no clear idea just why that was... That's all I need sometimes, I was in... It's almost an hour later and, damn, that was grim, bleak and... What the hell just happened? A corroded diving bell descends amidst a ruined city and the Assassin emerges from it to explore a labyrinth of bizarre landscapes inhabited by freakish denizens. That is about all I can tell you about 'Mad God' and that's only because I had a quick look on IMDB and that was all IMDB could tell me... 'Mad God' is any number of things but it's not

‘Worms of the Earth’ – Robert E. Howard.

Page Count: 27 Pages I have a copy of this on my shelf and the plan was to pick it up for a read on the way into work this morning. Well, that was the plan but I was half asleep, leaving the house, and totally forgot… No matter though, that’s what the Kindle app is for (although if I’d been a little more awake, I’d have read it off Project Gutenberg instead, you can find ‘Worms of the Earth’ Here ). 99p later and my ‘commute reading’ was secured 😉 I always seem to fall into the trap of just reading ‘Conan’ stuff whenever I fancy reading a little Howard. Not that that’s a bad thing, it’s just that there’s a lot of his other stories out there that are more than worth your time when you come across them. ‘Worms of the Earth’ is very much one of those tales but you knew that already, didn’t you? You didn’t? You should do something about that, take it from me… After witnessing one of his subjects die at the hands of Roman governor Titus Sulla, Bran Mak Morn vows vengeance on Sulla but at w
