Yeah, I'm looking forward to getting started on the next one. Probably tomorrow. Watched the first episode of the first season last night. I will probably watch one episode a night. Maybe more on the weekend.
I may be a little late in the game, but that's ok. We can use spoiler tags:) Happy reading!
Thanks for changing the topic and book cover whoever did that.
The time is here already?! Doh, I might not start until Saturday. And I won't cheat by not starting over, I'll start back at the beginning :)

I use this site when I can't remember who a character is, usually for the small ones that don't come up too often. I thought this group might appreciate it :)http://towerofthehand.com/books/chara...
Cool. I'll have to check it out. Thanks!
That is cool. I'm about two chapters into SoS and in the back of my mind I keep thinking about what is going to happen next in Hive!
I'm on the second chapter in SoS and soon I'll be at 75% on Hive.
Ok. Just saw a recap of season 2. It seems to me that more was revealed than I planned on seeing. Is it true that in season 2, part of book III is also in there? I read that in SOS, George is writing about other things that went on during the battle at the end of book II. Seems to me that book II should have been longer.
So I finally finished! Yay! Started SoS. Im really surprised that the Black men of the Watch are going to revolt. I'm kinda sad about this. I thought these men were good....ah well, just adds more drama.
I did not get far into SoS yet. 3% then I went back to Hive. I have the feeling that I'll tear through the next 25% of Hive pretty quickly though and be right back to SoS.

The comments from you guys are making me impatient to start. ;)
Lol. I forgot that most of the men are rapers and murderers on the wall. Makes sense now.
Yeah they are the unwanted :( but in some ways most important!
Im about 8% and loving every minute of it, especially Tyrion's parts.
Yeah, I'm 7%, but right now it's the only thing I am reading. Now that Tywin told Tyrion how he really feels about him, I wonder if Tyrion's allegiances will shift any.Finished watching the first season last night. It was really good. Probably won't watch the 2nd season until the end of summer though.
I'm almost ready to start, but I remember Tyrion, he really got messed up. I don't understand why his father hates him so much. I understand he's an "abomination" at this time period because he is a dwarf, but he is very cunning and could help with the strategics of battle. I am hoping someone starts making use of this talent.
Mod
Katie, when you read more of the book you will learn why Tyrion's father hates him so much. It's beyond the "abomination" thing for being a dwarf. I will put a little more about it in the spoiler.
(view spoiler)
Awesome, I'm glad there is more backstory on that! The books are long enough to include it,lol!Dany and Aery's are my favorite. Catelyn is almost a favorite, but something about her doesn't let me fully like her.
My favorites are Jon, Dany, Aery, and Tyrion. It's horrible, I get a favorite then they die, lol. Then another, and another, and another... :(
Rachel, those are my favorites as well. Catelyn, Sansa and Rob I haven't really felt attached to.
Mod
Yeah, I'm not fond of Catelyn, but the hardest character for me is Sansa. She's a nightmare for me to read, in book one she was the worst. When I see it's her chapter I want to skip it. I don't but I really want to.
Lol, I hear that! Sansa is a typical princess and embodies everything that makes me feel vulnerable. Aery's and Dany embody who I want to be more like but am not.
Mod
Liked how Jon handled Mance Ryder. I could see that he took some of Tyrion's advice about 'owning' being a bastard and made good use of it.
Good point Maxine. I agree that a lot of characters are thrown into situations they aren't exactly prepared for, and thank goodness we are reading this so we can "hear" them think it out! :)
I'm 16%. No big surprises yet, although Arya's story is starting to look interesting.
I'm 16% too and yes, Arry was fortunate. Escaped some lannister trouble. Very interesting.
I'm between your two spoilers. Ha Ha. My kindle loan from one library ends today, but should start again from another library in a day or two. I was really surprised by that action with Sam at 20%!
Mod
The prologue was good, the plan by some of the black watch to escape has now been scuppered with the arrival of the 'others'.
I've only read the next chapter with Jaime, definitely not a gentleman.
Glad to have you join Kate!. I was really excited about the 'others' in the prologue and then they don't come up for a long time again. That said, there is a lot going on and some great characters to follow.
I know Addy!
Jaime, oh Jaime, no he isn't a gentleman. Interesting how he knows the kids are his. Goodness, and they wonder why some royalty have issues. Look at the bloodline, lol.
Mod
Yes that's what I heard Maxine, but I told my coworker I didn't want to know. Im sure I'll be devastated as well.26% Im actually feeling bad for Jaime. He has no idea of what his father has done or is planning. Poor, delusional Jaime.
I dead an interview with George Martin about season three, which also applies to book three, where one big theme mentioned was people acting on incomplete our outdated information. I'm definitely seeing that
Maxine, I was so surprised by that death. I didn't see it coming at all, I don't know why, you'd think we'd all be use to it. I swear I'm going to have PTSD from the show.I watched an interview of George Martin and he said, the HBO writers are killing off people in his books and in very brutal ways yet they live in his books. So, I'm trying to figure out who he is talking about. I have to keep reading on.
Is anybody at 43% or so? Im confused about the story jaime tells Brienne at the bath house. If anyone can clarify please do! In a spoiler tag of course:)
I set it aside at about 25% to read another book, but I'm back on it again. I'm with Bran heading north.
