Deep Joy! I can sleep in the dark for a week instead of being semi vampiric!

I do like Vampire Survivors. It’s one of those games you can get obsessed with, put down and then come back to later.

Hello Womble. Today, I am mostly reading Japanese Gothic by Kylie Lee Baker. Still flitting around Batgirl. Audio wise was a bit of a fail as I DNR’d my latest listen.

A Killing Breath By Faye Snowden — Runalong The Shelves I would like to thank Flame Tree Press and Random Things Tours for an advance copy of this novel in exchange for a fair and honest review Publisher - Flame Tree Press Published - Out Now Pric...

I was fascinated by this series and am definitely going to read the rest - A Killing Breath by Faye Snowden www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2026/4/...

Womble looks over the past week in the blogosphere today.

Yay! We have three people in the ‘All over the place club’

WTF is this advert? Have you ever considered how different dogs are from humans?

Erm, no! I don’t need to! it’s obvious!

One of my favourite films of all time.

Ahhh that explains it!

Bluesky has been a bit sketchy for me today. It wouldn’t load, then I kept getting ‘Forbidden’ messages and then it just won’t load owt.
Not sure what’s going on!

YA horror for 2026 over on GNOH today.

New Book Review from Mehsi - Hime today!

New post by Mehsi - Hime today!

Womble joins the blog tour for A Killing Breath by Faye Snowden.

So far, this is the most anxiety provoking book a can recall reading.

Me as well! I have got loads of stuff on at the moment so it’s interfering with my capacity to read at the moment.

Oooh! I would be interested to see (although it will most likely grow the mammoth TBR😂)

I read some back in the 90’s but got sidetracked by various things (mainly life😂).
Audio wise I recently picked up The Starving Saints by …..(can’t remember) , Darker Days by Thomas Olde Huevelt and the two follow ups to the Good Hawk.
There you go.

(Looking forward to this one as I really enjoyed Coffin Moon.)
7. Hunger and Thirst by Claire Fuller.

Comics wise. I recently finished the entire series of Lucifer by Mike Carey (which was rather good).
My next big series to tackle is Doom Patrol after recently binging the TV series.

NETGALLEY BOOKS
1. The Caretaker by Marcus Kliewer (currently reading this one!)
2. Dollface by Lindy Ryan
3. Japanese Gothic by Kylie Lee Baker (next up!)
4. Marion by Leah Rowan
5. The Heart of Nhaga (not heard of this but apparently it is a popular South Korean fantasy)
6. Crone by Keith Rosson

I have been a bit quiet in the old reading front of late, so I thought I would give you a quick update of books that are on the horizon to read. Mainly these are on the old Netgalley, but I suppose there will be some audiobooks and comics thrown in as well as the old backlog.

The Velocipastor? OMG that is such a bad name. I think I may have to seek that one out😂

I know! And I think the dubbing was A. I. too!

I have ever seen anything so bad.

They must have made it for a fiver. The dubbing is so bad I was convinced it was A.I. It didn’t match. Sometimes their mouth wasn’t even moving and the words made no sense at all. Then the action scenes. OMG I have never laughed so hard! And then there were the bad wigs!Honestly, I don’t think

So, went film hunting on Prime. Originally started with Till Death do Is Part, but it was so bad we had to switch it off. Second film we chose was Cursed. We said can’t be as bad as that other one. How wrong we were! This is one of the worst things I have ever seen.

Oooh! Get well soon!

You returned home at some point and I was just wondering what time that was!

Might not be annoying once - but everyone does it to every question! It’s ridiculous! And if it’s not that it’s Why?
i.e. my Mrs.
Me - where are you working tomorrow. Are you in the office or at home?
Mrs - Why?
