Books for the TBR Pile... 'End of the Day' Edition

Yep, this post is pretty late in the day (what's left of it!) but I slept for half the day and then I was hanging out with my kids, and assorted pets (there are only two but it feels like more sometimes...) for the rest of it. All good fun :o) With what's left of the day then, lets take a quick look at the books that have arrived at mine this week...

And it will be a quick look as there weren't that many books arriving this week. It doesn't look like it but I'm trying to cut back on the ol' book buying and read what's already in my flat. That said, there are always a few books that catch my eye, books like these...


I've been very much enjoying the 'Empire Army' books and these two books round off the collection. As ever, I've got a few other books that I need to read first but I have a feeling that these two will feature sooner rather than later ;o) 'Warrior Priest' will be a re-read, after several years, so I know there's a good read waiting for me there.


Given the large pile of comic books next to my bed, you would have thought I'd just stick with those but oh no... ;o) 'Coda: Volume One' was a bit of a treat after a rough day in the office, I've been meaning to read it for a while so expect a post over the next week or so. And 'Weirdworld'... I actually read the first issue years ago, and enjoyed it, but never managed to finish the series so when Twitter recommended it to me (thanks @AnthonyPerconti) it wasn't a hard choice to make. Again, you can expect a post over the next week or so.

And that's your lot for this week, at least as far as new books are concerned. Have you read any of these? If so, let me know what you think in the comments ;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...
