Vikki’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

Umbrella suggestions:

Can the metal be an award for the book? For example, sometimes Newberry Award Winning books and finalists have the award in their cover. Could that count or does it have to be part of the original book cover/ related to the book plot?

I actually read to book 3 in 2014 and got burnt out so I am re-reading the first 3 books with Kindle Whispersync as a review before trying Book 4 again. Without the TV series, this would be a tough read for me. Jon Snow and Bran's chapters were always pretty slow for me as the series went on but Dany's and Tyrion's chapters make it worth it. I forgot that book 2 is where everyone is having the interesting dreams...

Ok, that makes sense. I was wondering why my 3 completed books were still white in the sheet
