Books for the TBR Pile! 'Hell of a week on the way...' Edition

Deadlines, Deadlines, Deadlines... I hate deadlines and there are loads of them headed my way over the next week at work. Woohoo, can't wait and all that... ;o) You wouldn't believe it but I actually really enjoy my job. I've had enough awful jobs to know when a good one comes along and this is definitely a good one; I just wish it would quieten down a bit sometimes, that's all. Oh well, it's not the worst problem to have... ;o) My blogging plans for the week may have to change though, we'll see how that works out.

In the meantime then, lets take a quick look at some of the books that have made their way to mine over the course of the week (and in a couple of cases a little longer than that, I clearly need to keep a better track of things...) All new books this time round, that's what invariably happens when it's payday and I've had another one of those weeks at work... ;o)


I treated myself to couple of big comic books this week :o) 'Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files Vol. 24' has 'The Pit' collected in it's entirety and I've never read it in it's entirety so I thought I'd have some of that while I was thinking about it. And I've had my eye on the 'Daleks' comic book for a while now and then payday happened and... here I am :o)

I can probably see myself reading the 'Case Files' first but on the other hand, I can equally see myself wanting to read about psychotic aliens blowing shit up. Lets see what this week brings us...

These two beauties have actually been in the pile for a couple of weeks but somehow never got a post of their own. And don't those covers just look amazing? I'm really looking forward to getting to these and I will, just as soon as I read the first book, 'King of the Bastards' (and that'll be soon, fingers crossed).

And last but not least.. A return to the Old World with 'Blackhearts' and another dose of Warhammer Horror with 'Briardark'. I've had my eye on 'Blackhearts' for a long time now (it's the Old World...) and as far as posts go, I'll probably end up breaking it up into the books that are collected inside. Look out for those posts in the near future. And 'Briardark'... That's an easier one to deal with as it looks like just the one book to read. Having said that though, remember when I said I had all those books on the go? Yep, I need to finish those first before 'Briardark' has it's time.

And... That's your lot for the week. Does anything here look like it could be your kind of read? 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...
