How on earth was that typo missed?! (I did wonder if it was a pun based on "eat" in view of the content, but somehow I doubt it!)
 
I finished Dan Abnett's Blood Pact. As usual with a Gaunt's Ghost book, it was thrilling and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Now on to Salvations Reach, which I believe to be book 13 in the Ghosts series.

Books read in 2022 is now 2. I'm going to have to start refusing lifts into work so that I can read them quicker.

I once received a CD for review in which the band's name was differently spelled on the front, the side, and on the one-sheet which accompanied it. The music was terrible.
 
This afternoon I started this, I'm enjoying it immensely!

I thought I'd give Danny a run for his money on the pulp fiction front and give Under a Graveyard Sky, by John Ringo, a try. I've read almost no zombie fiction ever, so it being SF of this genre is unlikely to seem overworked for me. Moreover, I've heard quite good things about it, and know readers I trust who are keeping up with the growing series and enjoying it. Fingers crossed.

He gets a bad press for his right wing viewpoints but his books are always enjoyable.

I read one by him recently but I can't remember the title.... basically a sniper somehow ends up on the run in rough country with three nekkid wimmin...it was fun!
