Books for the TBR Pile - Mini TBR Pile of Dreams' Edition!

I'll be honest, I'm still feeling pretty rough over here so this is going to be a short post today. That's not the only reason for the short post though, we're into the last few days before payday and things are a little too tight to be buying loads of books (plus I really am trying to read what's on my shelves first...). That hasn't stopped a couple of books coming home with me though, check em' out...


I found this copy of 'The Bachman Books' in a charity shop near the hospital while I was waiting for them to sort out some new heart medication for me (now there's a sentence that really makes me feel old...) It doesn't have 'Rage' in it, not a huge deal (and I completely get why it's no longer in the collection, I just fancied reading it again), but it does have everything else so don't be too surprised to see posts on those stories pop up over the next few months.
'The Hounds of Ash' came onto my radar after I'd posted about 'The Wind That Sweeps The Stars' the other day. I'd always fancied reading this too and seeing it especially cheap, on Amazon, sealed the deal. I wouldn't mind getting to this one soon as well but we'll see because, well...

I did say I was going to try and prioritize books that were already on my book shelf (and there are a few) this year, here's a few that I'm going to try and prioritize first.


I'm getting back into 'Into the Narrowdark' at the moment but after that, it will be something off this pile that's read next. It will be one of 'Elfsorrow', 'The Grim Company', 'Prince of Thorns' or 'The Hunger of the Gods'; which one would you like me to tackle first? Comments in the usual place ;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
