We could bounce ideas and/or theories for a long time. But so far we have avoided spoilers. Best leave it with the hope he finishes the books. Soon.
At my age? Hopefully I have a chance of book six, the seventh? Meh, not likely if it comes fifteen years (and counting) after book six!
Not for everyone probably but just read Leonard and Hungry Paul by Ronan Hessian. Nice slow paced story of two single adult male friends (not lovers) who are a little unusual, and overlooked in life. One writes blurb in encyclopaedias and the other lives with his parent and does casual postal work. Hard to describe tbh, but I really liked it. It’s being made into a 6 part BBC series apparently (didn’t know that when I got it) which tbh sounds a terrible idea but we’ll see.
