I'm beginning to believe this Penguin Top 100 list was compiled by a bunch of sadists. 'The Castle' gave me one of the worst reading experiences I've ever had, perhaps even topping 'Ulysses'. I'm just glad Bonfire Night is nearly upon us, as I have some ready made kindling. Awful. #Booksky #Books

Good lord, that took me a little while to finish. An enjoyable revenge romp, but I do feel the Count took an awfully circuitous route to get his own back. I've learned a bit more about 19th Century France though, which is a bonus. #Booksky #Books #readingchallenge

Many thanks to @gamingnews-rt.bsky.social for the frequent shares. This thread has mainly been for the purpose of my own nostalgic indulgence,but I hope at least one or two people have been sent on a trip down memory lane. I know I have! Now, time for some gaming... #Gamesky #Gaming #100daysofgames

Day 100: It's here - and I have definitely saved the best until last. 'Red Dead Redemption 2' is undoubtedly the best game I have ever played, though I haven't been emotionally ready yet to play it through again. Here's to Arthur! #Gamesky #Gaming #100daysofgames #reddeae

Day 99: I do like big 'open world' games and 'Red Dead Redemption' completely captivated me. The main storyline was fantastic, but naturally it took me ages to finish as I was so often distracted 😂🤠 #Gamesky #Gaming #100daysofgames #reddead

Day 98: I'm cheating with a 2-for-1 deal today, but 'Earthworm Jim' and the multiplayer madness of 'Worms' both provided hours of fun. #Gamesky #Gaming #100daysofgames #worms

Day 97: Whilst I didn't mind platformers like 'Sonic' and 'Mario', 'Kid Chameleon' was more my kind of thing. Special mention to 'James Pond' too! #Gamesky #Gaming #100daysofgames

Day 96: Despite being a confirmed Pro Evo enthusiast, I'm quite partial to a spot of FIFA! I think the FC rebrand has been slightly hardly judged. The player career mode is addictive and 'Paulo Brackenridgio' is obviously a prolific striker #Gamesky #Gaming #100daysofgames #Fifa

Day 95: Something about 'Space Invaders' tickles my senses. I struggle to walk past an arcade machine of this without having a go. I'd pay good money to have someone teach me how to master it though! #Gamesky #Gaming #100daysofgames

Day 94: I have a big nostalgic soft spot for anything Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles related and there have been some great games over the years (on SNES, especially). 'Shredder's Revenge' on Xbox isn't quite 'Streets of Rage' standard, but a great game. #Gaming #Gamesky #100daysofgames

Day 93: I'm struggling now to fill these spots 😅 'Gran Turismo' sneaks in on virtue of being my favourite all time racing game, after 'Mario Kart', obviously. It also allowed me to dream about owning more than a Skoda Fabia for a while. #Gaming #Gamesky #100daysofgames
