Not_Your_Typical_Lannister (Leslie)’s comments from the Read A Song Of Ice And Fire 2016 group.

Any takers?

Yeah right before I start the book I will go onto youtube and watch some Feast for Crows book reviews and discussions for a refresher.

Thanks Roseanne for entering those chapter threads.
I look forward to this read.

Social Media Book Tag

Twitter- Your favorite shortest book.

Facebook- A book everybody pressured you into reading.

Tumblr- A book you read before it was cool.

MySpace- A book you don’t remember whether you liked or not.

Instagram- A book that was so beautiful you had to take a picture of it.

Youtube- A book you wish would be turned into a movie.

Goodreads- A book you recommend to everyone.

Skype- A book with characters that you wish you could talk to instead of just reading about.

We call it pop in Canada.

Ria, Brienne would be into rugby and hockey as well.

Brianna, Margery would definitely be popular. The guys would want to be with her and The Young girls would want to be like her. She could even be part of beauty pagents.

Vishakha, I agree Tyrion would be into some form of business. He would do very well too.

Also, what does "AU" stand for?

Good suggestion Ria! I think your ironborn comment seems right on the money

I will assess Robert Baratheon.

I would think that Robert Baratheon would like music like Captain Tractor and Great Big Sea... Fun party stuff.

I think he would watch movies like Dumb and Dumber and The Hangover.

He would likely work as a DJ or a used car salesman but would likely not be very reliable and often be late for work.

Books? He would read the Walking Dead graphic novels if anything. But not much reading for him.

He would spend lots of time in Vegas with whores and strippers!

And I would still love Robert Baratheon!

Oh my God Ria that target is great!

Something new to us in my province

Is the locked room. They look fun and I am trying one in 3 weeks. Have you guys seen and experienced these before?

Yep that is very hypocritical.

I have little interest in the Summer Olympics but I have it on from time to time. Today men's beach volleyball was on. I can make time for some of that!!

But I definitely prefer the winter Olympics since I am more familiar with those events. Curling and hockey draw me in the most.

Ooops I forgot to answer some of these questions. It is not so fresh in my mind anymore so I will just answer one.

"Why do you think is Jaime worried about his honor now? He has turned his back on his family to do so."

I think he got away from his messed up family and Kings Landing for a while and got a taste of life without all the things a Lannister has.
He learned from this and saw things very differently. He spent time with respectful people (Catelyn and Brienne) and now knows his family sucks.

That's the spirit!

Lets talk Olympics.

Do you watch them?
What sports/events are your favorite?
Which do you prefer...Winter or Summer?

Yes so exciting. Great progress on this book. It is too bad you found us so late because your comments are interesting.

Lol

Siya wrote: "I kind of wonder why Jaime didn't want to rule Casterly Rock? I know he became KG for Cersei at first, but now everything's kinda changing, so...

Also, it's sweet how Jaime put Loras to his place..."

I thought it was because he does not want to go to Castely Rock and be away from Cersei???

TGWTDT - regrettably, I almost passed out from boredom lol SMH to me"

Lol. Good to know Siya. It keeps popping up as a recommendation for me.
