No, I get that. I think, similarly, I read them in my early teens, and absolutely loved the early ones (My copy of Eragon is really battered) and they were quite special books for me, which is probably why the ending upset me so much!

That’s such a hard question!!!

I really liked the dark materials series growing up.

I recently read The Constant Rabbit by Jasper Fforde which was brilliant.

I have also loved the Fallen Gods trilogy by Hannah Kaner.

I also have reread Ready Player One a few times.

All of the Hunger Games books I have found to be easy to read and intriguing.

Have you read the opposite of butterfly hunting? It was very out of my normal reading but was brilliant.

I tried reading one of his sci-fi novels recently. It was incredibly intriguing but led, literally nowhere. There was no resolution whatsoever.

I weirdly don’t remember the red Queen series almost at all, which is weird.

I didn’t really like North Woods; I think I prefer a classic narrative driving the story.

Yeah, I haven’t read anything since I was younger either. They annoyed me because I felt like Paolini ‘cheated’, like, he built up the bad guy (oh god, I don’t even remember his name anymore!) so much as so powerful and undefeatable and then just gave Eragon some extra magic out of the blue. It felt very Deus Ex Machina.

How did you find Murtagh? I never read it because I was so annoyed at the end of Brisignr

I read the red Queen series a bit ago. I read North Woods this year too. What did you think of it?

What was your favourite book this year?

I took the opposite argument from it. If I’m ill, I just need more whiskey.

There should totally be an inflationary rise in the amount returned.

But a pie should have a lid. If anything #7 should be pie rather than calzome.

I had this question. I’m learning Welsh from English. So learning a language with genders from one without. Then met some who learnt Welsh from German. Two gendered languages. Which do you think is harder - having to learn about genders and try to incorporate a new concept or having. to learn genders for words that may or may not match your ‘expectations’ and ‘logic’ from your L1

Is this an ADHD thing? I used to have a job where I started at noon. It was horrific!

In fairness Stadia did open up their gamepads when they shut down
