am reading the Feast for Crows and Dance of Dragons in parallel... how they should be read in my opinion! exceedingly good. If the rumours are correct that WiW comes out next year on the profitable coattails of Season 5, I suspect I have got into GoT at the right time.
fav 5 films of the year - Tenet, Bill n Ted 3, Invisible Man, JoJo Rabbit, ?

One of my favourite authors, David Moody, has announced that his latest collection 'Last Of The Living' is available for pre-order over at http://davidmoody.net/

Those who pre-order LOTL will be entered into a prize draw to win an original AUTUMN manuscript, the work for which Moody is perhaps best known. Also up for grabs is a one-off ‘Spread the Infection’ T-shirt, and a rare copy of the original Infected Books release of AUTUMN.

For those unfamiliar with Moody's work, he's widely regarded as the best of British zombie authors and has had the film rights to one of his books snapped up by Guillermo del Toro.

I have just started reading 'A Most Wanted man' by John Le Carre. I have loved most of his books, so here's hoping I enjoy this one too.
