Right … I can officially say I’m looking forward to finishing both Stormbringer, and Weaveworld.
Although Weaveworld is a bit of a big beast … !
The reason I mention this … ?
Is that I’ve ordered a short story collection called Press Play To Start: one with a video games theme.
I’d like to read it … because there’s a contribution from noted video games writer Rhianna Pratchett.
Yes … she’s his daughter: frankly … ?
That’s why I’m getting it.
I’m a fan of her father: and felt I’d like to see how she does.
I suspect she’s picked up some of the family talent.
That’s just going on her current record …
But let’s move on, shall we?
Yesterday’s Teaser saw both Olga* and Debbi† putting in their answers: with both scoring five out of five.
Let’s see how everyone does with today’s questions, shall we?
Here they are, along with the How To, License and video …
Have a good day …
* I have to admit, Olga, I’ve never sat down and watched it: The Damned United, that is. You’re not the first person that’s told me it’s a good one. (I don’t know if a lost nuclear bomb’s a good basis for a book: I’ll leave that to you. I DO know I’d like to see what’s happened to the fish in the seas it landed in.)
† Glad to hear it, Debbi … ! (Oh, I’m looking forward to read Rhianna Pratchett’s entry in Press Play To Start: but remind me to tell you about Weaveworld, at some point.)
