Books for the TBR Pile... 'Lego Jurassic Park & Little Nightmares' Edition

Once again, I'm years behind everyone else but I got there in the end... I finally went and bought myself a PS4 the other day (for the kids, he said, and precisely no-one believed him) and that's what I was doing most of yesterday :o) My eldest daughter loves 'Little Nightmares' so I bought that and we had some time playing that. Well, she was watching ;o) My youngest loves anything Lego so this time round, that meant a few hours working our way through 'Jurassic Park'. Turns out that all she ever wanted was to be a Lego Triceratops and go stomping around Jurassic Park... If I'd known that before, well... This post would have been posted a long time ago... ;o)

But you're here for the books, aren't you? Thanks for bearing with me and letting me talk ;o) Lets take a look at the books that found their way here over the last seven days.

'Scourge of the Betrayer' is one of those books that I've always meant to read and it was an 'Amazon Deal' so I thought I'd chance it. It's not a priority read but I'd like to get to it sooner rather than later.

I've still got a few 'Elric' books to read but this new entry sits neatly in between the first two books so I thought I should probably tackle this one first, that and the fact that I love the cover art here :o) Again, not a priority read (if I'm wrong, leave a comment and maybe I'll change my mind) but another 'sooner rather than later' read.

And 'The Sword & Sorcery Anthology' replaces another copy that I had, many years ago now, and had to get rid of. Travelling light and all that... I'll be dipping in and out of this one for a short story post here and there.


I didn't even realise that Jade Daniels' tale was going to continue but once I saw that it was, I made bloody sure that I had a copy of 'Don't Fear The Reaper'. 'My Heart Is A Chainsaw' was an excellent read, 'Don't Fear The Reaper' has a lot to live up to but I'm very confident that it will ;o) 

I always wanted to read 'Quake' as a kid (which says a lot about the kind of kid that I was...) and coming off the back of reading 'The Cellar', I didn't want to wait any longer so... here we are. There's a big ol' pile of books that I need to read first but I don't think 'Quake' will be too far away.


There are a few of David Gemmell's books that I haven't read yet and the 'Hawk Queen' books are a couple of those. Not for much longer though, hopefully... These look like they could well be commuter reads, we'll see.

And 'The Ambassador' is another case of me finding way back to the 'Old World' one of my favourite places to spend a little time ;o) I'm looking at this book and thinking that it could also be another commuter read; I've read it before but not for a number of years, it'll be interesting to see how it holds up.


While I was looking for other books by Douglas Hill, I saw this on eBay and had to have it, Another book that I'll be dipping in and out of as the fancy takes me :o) There are a few stories here that I've read before but also a few that I haven't, I'll be into those first.

And that's your lost for this week, you can't say that I haven't given you plenty to look at ;o) Anything here grab your eye and you think I should pick it up first? Leave a comment and let me know...

‘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...
