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...
And I do mean a 'quick update'... It's been a hell of a month and my reading goals (along with any reading in general) have all gone belly up :o( I have managed to get a few audiobooks under my belt (thanks, Audible Offer!) but nothing else. I'm going to have another crack at David Wragg's 'The Hunters' over the weekend so, maybe things will change. Fingers crossed ;o) The reason for all of this was the surgery I had right at the end of last month. I really needed it and I'm glad that I finally had it done, it's going to make a real difference going forwards. They did warn me that it was going to be a painful recovery but I was all, 'oh it can't be any worse than it already is...' Gentle reader, it was a lot worse than I thought it would be... In fact... Damn that hurt... I'm definitely on the mend though so hopefully it won't be like this for much longer. Fingers crossed ;o) As you can probably guess though, its killed my reading...
So, all that talk about 'no more books' last week? I sounded like I meant it didn't I...? Well, I did but then yesterday happened and it turns out that last week was a bit of a false start. Turns out that I can't do a little early Christmas shopping without getting myself a little something. And it also turns out that I shouldn't go into charity shops while I'm waiting for my kids' bubble teas... Who'd have thought it? Erm yep, I need to start again :o) In the meantime, lets take a quick look at what I picked up, we might as well... ;o) I've had a copy of 'Promise of Blood' sat on the shelf, for a long time, but never got round to picking it up, just because I wanted to find the other two books first (and just read the whole lot in one fell swoop). Well, the universe gave me a little nudge by placing 'The Crimson Campaign' and 'The Autumn Republic' at eye level when I went into the British Heart Foundation shop. I'd better...
