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

Brianna I agree that there is no need to worry. The GOT threads aren't going anywhere and will still be available. Enjoy the book and Don't rush just to be finished and caught up.

I must admit I have never read the Hunger Games. I was not very interested in books when that series was first so popular so I saw only the movies. I am now not impressed with myself and how I missed out.

I will maybe several years from now try them when I have hopefully forgotten everything I know.

I heard about that spreadsheet from your link and could never find it. Thanks. It seems after season 2 they show and book separate in a big way.

I think after I read book 2 then I will re-watch season 2 then put a hault on the re-watching till the last book is done. All weekend I re-watched season 1 and I loved watching after having just finished reading book #1.

She scares the be-Jesus out of me. She is creepy.

Pretending, lol

CURRENTLY READING:

-The Crystal Cave by Mary Stewart
-Zoo by James Patterson
-Furiously Happy by Jenny Lawson

But of course I am waiting anxiously for a Clash of Kings group read to start.

My two favorite shows:

Didn't he go out to investigate those missing people from the prologue? I think he was also the one who recruited Jon back at Winterfell.

A Big thanks to Roseanne who has helped out the group by adding all the chapter threads for this read. You are the best!

This is just what I plan to do. It is not a schedule everyone needs to follow. It is just a way that will keep me on track for
finishing on time. If it helps you too have-atter!

Would you mind telling us your 8 week pacing of A Clash of Kings?

Brendan"

Sure.

I read this and thought it was weird to read in this order?????

I have not yet read all the books but who would suggest to start with that? Thoughts?

I am quite interested in Ser Jorah Mormont and his back story.

I looked it up.

"Hedge knights are so named because most of their worldly wealth is in their arms and horses and they generally must sleep outdoors, under a hedge. Contrary to landed knights, hedge knights own no land.
Daenerys Targaryen recalls that her brother Viserys had told her of knights so poor that they had to sleep beneath the ancient hedges that grew along the byways of the Seven Kingdoms."
