#4 is cute!

I wonder how Dany knew what to do.
i love how this book started with ice (in the prologue being North of the wall) and now ends with fire!"

Oh I never thought of it that way Brianna (ice at start, fire at end)
I like it now too.

Excellent Brianna. You said you were a bit behind at one point and look at that!!! I look forward to your thoughts on A Clash of Kings. I hope the paperback gets to you quick.

Brendan it really is. As soon as I started after a few days of no GRRM I felt immediately happier.

Ria that is very interesting. I have never heard of this before.

Happy Baba Marta day to you and everyone as well!

Ria your pic looks great!

Your teacher sounds awful. Hopefully she soon retires. Well that or else falls and breaks a hip and has to miss work.

About Shireen and thoughts about possibly being Targaryen, please only open this if you are caught up to the show or read all the books: (view spoiler)[ Naw she can't be. Doesn't she get lit on fire and killed? That would not kill a Targaryen. (hide spoiler)]

Everyone:

We have a new Moderator - Brendan - for the group. Be sure to welcome him.

Omar I like your answers. I can hardly wait to read it a second time.

Well today is a Leap Year day. I think it should be knows as "book day"! Only comes every four years Roseanne.

Me too Brendan. I wish I had the flu or something today. Well something not serious enough that I would need to sleep all day or go to the hospital, but too serious to go to work.

Sounds good Brendan; is my link the correct book?

this one?

I am not 100% sure but I think it has all three novellas and it can be bought at Indigo, Coles or Chapters - basically the Canadian Barnes and Nobels kind of place.

Oh, Thanks Omar.

It was definitely a much better gift than a basket full of snakes!!!

Well this was not exactly the family reunion it should have been!

I am really not a big Theon fan but this chapter made me feel a little bad for the guy.

Well at first when he uhm...Hmm how to word this. "Enjoyed the company of" the captain's daughter I was mad at him for treating her like a piece of meat. That made me angry.

But when his Dad was a real jerk to him and even slapped him I felt a bit bad for Theon. I am sure Theon will grown on me.

Oh but I did read this and loved it:



I forgot about that. It's a cute bathroom read.

I would but after I have read book #5. I think after #5 we could be in for more of a wait till #6. So that might help fill that void. If you find other people sooner certainly go for it.

I am 1/2 way though this chapter and have this to say:

This chapter gives the book a bad name. For people that did not like Book #2 I kind of question if this is about the spot you decided this book is not your favorite. This chapter seems a little hard to follow. There are lots of weird things going on and I don't understand them. There are some new characters and it can feel confusing.

This, in no way, deters me from continuing. All books need character intros and such. From the tv show I already know that I like Davos and Stannis so I gotta' go; more to read!

Well he was there recruiting for the Night's Watch. I just took it as good timing. I could be wrong.

What do you other people think?

Freaking Joffrey man! He's such a bad kid. He's all about revenge and what not ins..."

Joffrey is such a disgusting character.

And luck? Yeah I would say so. I mean I think it is definitely good timing.

Exactly why did Ned end up in this chapter saying that "Joffrey Baratheon is the one true heir to the Iron Throne" when he knows it's not true.

Oh what the hell did I post???? I mean to post that I did not "understand" not "care". Oh man I do care. Sorry Ned. It looks like I did not care that you lost your head. oooops.

That darn impatient woman!!

The Mormonts are an interesting family.
