This is where I am confused. A few episodes back Robbin Arryn said he would help his cousin (Littlrfinger gave him the falcon that day) So I was under the impression he was sending troops out. But then Little finger showed up out of the blue alone.

Then Sansa sent a letter.

So did nobody go when Robbin wanted to help? Sort me out please. I think I missed something.

No to both for me.

Whoa I just watched the beginning of the episode now. All three dragons fighting. Yes! The two that have been stuck inside are substantially smaller eh? Just like fish in a small tank compared to a large pond.

Also I like Yara and Dani joining forces. Girl power!

Haha! I scared the cat when I did it.

Lol at who let the dogs out.


When they dropped the house Bolton banners on the ground and replaced them with the Stark banners I threw my fist in the air like I would at a hockey game when my team scores.

I had no power for the first 15 minutes. Who other than the bear island gang and the wildlings was there to help fight? There seemed to be more than I expected to see.

Yes, house Arryn gang!!

Great episode but I need to watch it all at 10pm.

Thanks. It is still intermitant. I should Pvr a later airing incase I lose power midway through.

Oh okay. I thought maybe I missed how it made its way into the cup.

Grrrrr! We have horrible strong winds here right now and my hydro keeps going out as I am trying to make super. If this is not fixed by 8pm central standard time I will cry. I need me some G.O.T. tonight.

As far as I know nothing I have read was translated.

Absolutely!

I am trying to start only after I have finished both my current reads so it is the only book on the go. But I am certainly tempted to start this one too.

I have not yet learned why.

I don't know. Perhaps I will go to a book store tomorrow and buy a book. Oh, ooops I mean and ask the staff your question!

I am likely in the minority here but I am a fan of the trade paperback. I like them the best because they are easy to hold one handed. You can use the other hand to eat and drink with. They are light, cheap and I don't really care if they get wrecked (within reason).

I don't like hard covers that much. Sure they look pretty but they are too clumsy and expensive. I get mad at myself when I buy them. And when I picked up A 6 of Crows to take that picture, the book flew out of the dust jacket and I dropped it on my foot. Stupid dust jackets!

I don't have a book shelf. I donate the books I don't intend to read ever again. The ones I want to keep are stored in a big Rubbermaid covered bin. The only ones that are out in the open are my box set of A Song of Ice and Fire. So I don't need pretty hardcovers to display.

I love my Kobo but I don't like it for when the book has pictures. They don't display nicely. I tried to read Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children on it but gave up and borrowed a friend's paperback. I love the Kobo built in light. And the battery life kicks some serious ass! It is nice and light weight for long books.

I like paperbacks too. The other day at the library I grabbed the paperback of The Princess Bride. Then as I walked around a bit I saw the hard cover version of the same book in the staff picks area. But I took home the paperback because it was easier to hold. Plus that plastic clear cover the libraries use on hardcovers is annoying. It just sucks that the brand new books are often only out as hardcovers to start with.

Harcover vs Paperback vs E reader vs Mass Market Paperback!

What are your feelings and preferences?
What do you have more of?

Discuss.

Yeah Edmure is a little different.
I kind of feel sorry for him because he seems like a disappointment to the family.

Yeah it worked out well for you.

I don't recall anyone telling Sansa.

Yes! I loved reading that.
