Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin - Restarting October 1st AND reading 'A Storm of Swords: Steel and Snow (A Song of Ice and Fire #3)' from November 10th 2017

[Diamond]

Lol. OMG SADIE DID U WATCH THE NEWEST EPISODE OF WITCHES OF EAST END.
*dies*

[Diamond]

Haha yeah it totally was lame. Haha he just throws a glass and it doesn't even hit her, seriously?
And I love Ingrid and dash! I want them together SO badly. It sucks we gotta wait 2 weeks for the next episode..
-----
I FINALLY FINISHED GAME OF THRONES! *cheers wildly* wow. What can I say? Ok I'm gonna have to stew on it a bit, I have so many thoughts on the ending! Although I knew what was coming as far as the last chapter and Dany.. I mean I've seen previews for the show after all lol.

But for right now, I just wanna celebrate the fact that I finished this 800+ page book, and it was awesome!

[Diamond]

I can't stop thinking about this book, even though I finished it last night.

I have a few questions:
(view spoiler)[ who took Arya at the end when Eddard was dying?
I am so sad Eddard is dead. :( Robb is a horrible husband and an even worse king. I'm kinda glad Tyrion is going to be his. Hand, all tho idk how much he can do because Robb = crazy town.
Sansa...ugh, I still don't like her, but I pity her. She doesn't seem very strong and Stark-like though, hope she toughens up she has a hard road ahead of her.
I'm glad Jon came back! I think the fight on the other side of the wall will be interesting...
I knew Dany would have dragons! What happened to the 3rd egg? She kept it right? Bc she needed one life for each to hatch with the flame, correct? So badass, I'm glad she's gonna be Queen still. Everyone's gonna freak out when they find out Dragons are backkk!
And I don't really get who killed her baby? Was it the Mirri woman/midwife? Or Ser Jorah? Or was it stillborn? All there were mentioned and I was confused about what really happened, although I think Mirri admitting to it ?
(hide spoiler)]

I'm definitely going to continue this series! I have the next two books already, but I gotta just be in the mood for a longgggg story, that is hella good lol

[Diamond]

Ohhh, ok! Got it! So you finished too? Awesome!!
Now we can plan to read The Shining?! I'm also down to read Throne of Glass with you and Witchfall :)

[Diamond]

Ok cool! When do u wanna start The Shining? I want to wait like two weeks to start book of life bc I've been reading too many witch books lately and need a break lol : P but I'm down to start sometime end of sept? Or earlier

[Diamond]

Sure sounds groovy! I can get a thread going for The Shining in Horror. And u can get a thread for Book of Life when the time comes, yeah?

[Diamond]

Ok cool :) talk to on the 12th!

[Tati]

Skyler and I will be tackling this on October 1st! Feel free to join!

Date changed. :)

[Tati]

I've started! I'm on Catelyn's first chapter 3%.

What I find odd is (view spoiler)[ How can a toddler, like Rickon, raise and train a direwolf? (hide spoiler)]

[Skyler]

I just bought the book!

[Victoria]

Were you guys planning on reading the whole series or just this one? Because I'd join you for the next ones :)

[Jen]

I bought the whole series and could never go past the second book ... not sure if I want to start reading it again HAHA~

[Tati]

Victoria, if you'd like, I can read the second book, A Clash of Kings, with you in November.

What really surprises me (I knew that already, but re-reading the books it comes up again) is how young the characters in the book are versus the characters in the show

[Skyler]

I apologize that I'm quite a bit behind -- I'm swamped with coursework; this is my first semester of college. I will try to catch up as soon as possible!! Hope your week is going well :)

[Tati]

Back to this after a little break.

I'm at 43% now.

(view spoiler)[ What I find odd is Robert's obsession with Dany. Why kill only her? What about her brother? He has a stronger claim to the throne than her, yet no one mentions him. (hide spoiler)]

[Tati]

Re-reading this is almost torture LOL

As I already know what happens, I find myself delaying to read, as I don't want to read some scenes again

[Skyler]

Why is Old Nan described as stupid? "Her stupid smile" etc haha

[Barb]

We are restarting this on 4th April :D

[Amphitrite]

I'm so excited to do this! I can't wait to start! :D

[Rachmi]

Me too! Hope it live my expectation :)

[Amphitrite]

I know what you mean, everyone who I know that has read it have raved about it and how great it is. I can't wait to see what all the hype is about :) (I mean, other than the dragons, because who doesn't love dragons in fantasy books haha)

[Daisy]

Can i join you guys?

[Amphitrite]

I don't mind if you do! :)

[Rachmi]

Exactly! I'm a bit worry too, though. With popular-hype book, I usually being in the minority. So now I'm excited and yet nervous if I don't the hype.

[Rachmi]

Daisy wrote: "Can i join you guys?"

Of course, Daisy. The more the merrier :)

[Daisy]

Awesome! :)
Im totally excited to start this.
Ive seen the first season of the show and loved it, but there were things i kept getting confused on, so i thought I should read the series then continue with the show.

[Amphitrite]

Today's the day, has anyone started yet? :)

[Daisy]

Ive read about two chapters. Its okay so far. :)

[Barb]

I'm halfway through the book, but I think that I will join you :)

[ɑƨħŵɑɡ ♥Team Magnus Damora FOREVER♥]

I'd like to tackle this one as well since I have a copy sitting on my shelf for ages..

page 108/835 (view spoiler)[What happened with Bran was a tragedy.. the bits about what his mom did to make him stop climbing the castle walls was funny (hide spoiler)]

[Rachmi]

Just started it. The prologue is one of the longest I've ever read @.@ I'm excited though.

[Rachmi]

Chapter Eddard, 5% (view spoiler)[lots of characters are way younger than movie version! It's quite hard for me to imagine Daenerys is only 11 yo while she's a young adult (or maybe is already adult?) in the movie and so do with Starks Children and Jon Snow. Even Ned and Catelyn too, I think. (hide spoiler)]

[Amphitrite]

I'll be starting soonish. I have some other reads I have to finish before I can dive into this massive book :)

[Rachmi]

Chapter Tyrion, 10% (view spoiler)[I know it's early but Tyrion Lannister is my fave character so far. He's sarcastic, witty and love reading. I love characters who love reading :D (hide spoiler)]

[Rachmi]

Chapter Eddard, 15% (view spoiler)[The King is so naive he doesn't even hear what Ned tells him about Jamie Lannister. (hide spoiler)]

[Rachmi]

Chapter Tyrion, 26% (view spoiler)[Aside Tyrion, I really like Jon Snow too. I think in a way they are quite similar.

And I wonder if something happens with Benjen Stark. I hope Jon will not try to find him because as Tyrion said, then who will find him if something happen to him, too? (hide spoiler)]

Rachmi wrote: "Chapter Eddard, 15% [spoilers removed]"

that's gonna bite him in the ass i imagine..

[ɑƨħŵɑɡ ♥Team Magnus Damora FOREVER♥]

350/835 (view spoiler)[I'm glad Eddard is looking into Jon's death. Littlefinger annoys me. the conflict between Starks and Lannisters are reaching new levels with her arresting Tyrion (hide spoiler)]

[ɑƨħŵɑɡ ♥Team Magnus Damora FOREVER♥]

529/835 (view spoiler)[Littlefinger is a devious coward. I can't believe he sides with the Lannisters. I hope Eddard doesn't die (hide spoiler)]

[Daisy]

Chapter Jon, 6% (view spoiler)[ im also getting totally thrown off by the characters age, especially Jon's age, the show had them a lot older than that. I really love Tyrion Lannister! He so wise and just flat out amazing i cant wait to read more about him. (hide spoiler)]

[ɑƨħŵɑɡ ♥Team Magnus Damora FOREVER♥]

Chapter 66, Bran (740/835) (view spoiler)[It's really hard to keep track of everything going on.. now, I only remember Littlefinger betraying Eddard and Cersei focing Sansa to tell her family of her father's treason so she can marry Joffret. Tyrion & his people being attacked, Dany giving birth and maybe the Khal dying (how digusting is their war ritual btw *gag*), Arya close to reunited with her father before she was taken..

Least favorite character is Cersei & I like the Starks, Sansa is my least favorite of them (hide spoiler)]

[Twila]

I'm starting now. I'll see if I can catch up with you guys.

[Rachmi]

Twila, how far are you now? I put it on hold for a week and am ready to continue it again now :D

[Twila]

Oh, I actually had to set this one back down. I had too much to deal with at the time. I'll pick it back up some time next month, sorry.

[Rachmi]

No worry, Twila. I'm gonna read it slowly, I think. I really like it but don't know why I keep putting it on hold, hopefully I can finish it this weekend :)

[Rachmi]

Finished it! Although I need two weeks to finish it, I really like it. The surprises are still surprising, though I've watched the TV series. I thought I won't be surprise since I already know the story. I'll definitely read the sequels!

[Gayatri]

Hey guys is it still possible to join this buddy read?

[Gayatri]

Chapter Eddard 5% (view spoiler)[This book is insane. The descriptions are so good, I can't believe its still 5% into the book. I feel like I've read a lot more :) This is gonna take me a long time to read. I can just feel it (hide spoiler)]
