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)

‘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
