Isaac and the Egg should come with a warning (I need to make it absolutely clear here that I loved this book!).

Isaac Addy really isn’t coping with the death of his wife. You’ll stand with him on the bridge as he contemplates throwing himself off as he can’t go on without her, and then he hears a strange noise coming from the woodland below and goes to investigate.

I adored this beautiful, heartfelt, crazy book. I also can’t see how I can tell you ANYTHING at all about it without dropping huge spoilers and making it sound ridiculous. And this is most certainly NOT a ridiculous book. I swung between utter heartbreak (not good on a dog walk) and laughing (also not great, but people always smile back!)

It’s just a perfect book.

I listened to the audiobook narrated by Johnny Flynn, who was such a good choice. I’ve heard of him before, and have listened to his music for years (I’ve never seen him act though, and I’m thinking I should!). He has such a gentle voice, absolutely suited to a novel with the themes of love and loss.

So read it, listen to it - but just do one or the other. You won’t regret it. Just keep the tissues handy.

The Last Of Us
The Last Of Us follows the story of an impending pandemic that results in the development of 'Walkers, Runners, Clickers and Bloaters.' The Virus, referred to as an attack on Corcyeps, will attack the brain and is a progressive disease resulting in more developed strains such as Clickers and Bloaters dependent on the period of time an individual had been contaminated.

Admittedly, I have played The Last Of Us to completion multiple times. It is a developmental game that you must play through multiple times to truly appreciate, and truly understand the circumstances that have caused individual characters to present themselves as they do.

Fortunately, we were given a DLC called 'Left Behind' that follows the story of Ellie. It was just as exceptionally produced as the original, and Naughty Dog made evident that they are willing to invest themselves within this franchise.


Multiplayer is also available, but I am unsure regarding current server provisions. If Online Multiplayer is no longer supported, I am able to confidently assure you that it was the most immersive Online Multiplayer Game that I have encountered.

Gather supplies, immerse yourselves and survive. 'Remember, when you're lost in the darkness, look for the light' The Fireflies.

2nd entry in the newly-christened DCU (replacing the 'old' DCEU, Or DC Extended Universe), following on from 2025's 'Superman'.

Unlike that previous film, this follows his cousin Kara Zor-El (aka Supergirl), and is largely set in space rather than on Earth, in and around Metropolis.

It also, apparently, loosely adopts a well-regarded graphic novel (which I have yet to read) in the outline of the plot, which sees a jaded Kara - who witnessed both the destruction of Krypton and the death of her parents in the city of Argo - embarking on a journey to hunt down an adversary who injured her dog Krypto and who also murdered the family of her (initially unwilling, on Kara's part) companion Ruthye, with Ruthye now out for revenge herself.

And, for some reason, this never really connected as much as Superman - I don;t know whether it's the more setting, Kara herself (NOT the fault of the actor, just the way the character is written), the fact that her powers are largely dormant for most of the film (she's on planets with red or green suns; gets her powers from the yellow sun) or some combination of all three ... ?
