The Mods will make the thread when they see that we've decided on a date and they will post it in here. :)

That works! :)

I'd like to join you for November 9 depending on when you want to read it

Yup :) I have a sticky note on my desk to remind me.

Both would be awesome! Would January be ok with you?"

J..."

Great! Did you want to pick a date now, or would it be better to wait until like mid-December to come up with one?

I'm reading a few books right now but depending on when you'd want to do it, I'm interested.

Awesome! I did too! Would you want to start the 16th?

I'm in too. I have the books but haven't gotten around to them yet, I've heard great things!

I hope I'm doing this right...

(releases Dec. 15th)

I finish my MA on the 11th of December, so I'll have a lot of free time coming up! I tried to get a good mix in there, because I know everyone has different tastes.

I was really hoping I could continue and keep up with the reading, but I'm unable to. School is taking up way more time that I was predicting (which is usually the case). I hope you all enjoy the book and continue with the series!!

There's so much suspicion that you kind of have to be suspicious of everyone you meet in this book. At least that's how I feel. Even though Littlefinger seems sincere, I think there's still something lurking underneath. What does he hope to gain by helping Catelyn and Ned? Since there is an assassin and I would assume it was either Cersei or Jamie who sent him. Doesn't Littlefinger risk his own life by helping the Starks? Plus, Varys has birds every where someone could find out.

Dany is one of my favorite's because she changes so much in the beginning, I really don't know about the rest, but just the fact that she stands up to her brother is huge. She was so young and her brother was the only constant thing in her life.

I'm a dog lover so I'm always sad when something like what happens with Lady and Nymeria occurs in a book.

1.- Favorite character so far: Tyrion and Jon Snow and Arya... I can't decide. LOL.

2.- Favorite quote so far: I've highlighted quite a few (I'm really glad it's on my kindle, because I refuse to highlight a book I read for pleasure) It really doesn't give me an idea where in the book this quote comes from but: "First lesson," Jon said. "Stick them with the pointy end." I believe he's talking to Arya. I also love the quote you chose Andrea.

3.- Direwolf. Because of the symbolism of how the mother was kill and the number of "orphans" left, what was the purpose behind when they find them and the fact that every children received one?

Well I don't think R.R. Martin was being very sneaky with his symbolism here. I definitely feel like there will be some sort of connection between the wolves and their masters. What that will be? I'm not sure yet. It will be interesting to see how that plays out. Since he made it so obvious I think he wants us to notice the wolves just as much as the characters.

4.- The king's proposition to Ned.

Like it was mentioned before, he really didn't have a choice. If he didn't accept not only would it be an affront to his king, but to his friend. There's a hard line that he has to walk between being Robert's friend and his subject. He can't expect special treatment, or be able to do something that would normally offend the king and not expect consequences. I don't see this being a good thing for Ned.
