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)

‘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
