Everyone is talking about… Game of Thrones
Game of Thrones author George RR Martin has come out and said he missed the deadline to complete the next novel before the sixth series of the TV show starts.
The author wrote in a blog post that he missed the New Year’s Eve deadline for The Winds of Winter to come out before the show in April, so you’ll be watching the TV show for information instead of the usual book before show.
BOOO.
He wrote
You’re disappointed, and you’re not alone. My editors and publishers are disappointed, HBO is disappointed, my agents and foreign publishers and translators are disappointed… but no one could possibly be more disappointed than me.
Ah well, nobody can focus over Christmas mate.
Or flick over for…
