Barbed, for her post-rimming pleasure
Thanks to a lady on Facebook, I have discovered that there is a South Park game for Xbox coming out this month. I might have to have a go on that... (albeit in 300 years' time, if/when I finally complete Skyrim). Definitely not one to play with the microbe on my lap.
In book news, I read The 5th Wave last week and would def recommend it to those of you who are partial to the occasional bit of 'young adult' escapist fiction. I discovered it by chance because it won an award in London and got tweeted about a lot. Essentially it's in the skiffy/apocalypse/dystopia genre and manages to combine a thoroughly grip-tastic plot with a decent narrative style that doesn't constantly draw attention to itself with jarring turns of phrase (Malorie Blackman I'm looking at you). Overall, I think it wipes the floor with The Hunger Games. And - of course - someone is making a film of it.
Now I'm back on grown-up fiction with a book called Apple Tree Yard... (has anyone read it?) I'm only a few pages in but it seems promising. I decided to give it a whirl after Hilary Mantel raved about it in a review somewhere (a woman whose taste I am inclined to trust).
Well that's my fly-by for today. Bye bye!
