How We'll Read Along + Introduce Yourself!

[Jillian]

So excited to start re-reading the books with you all! Just a reminder that this group is a mix of NEW readers and re-readers, so no spoilers past the book we are reading!

We can have a different discussions for the show if you would like to discuss that, but overall, we will go about the book by chapters. We could read a chunk of chapters by a certain date and talk about that, etc, and then move on further. This way, we can discuss in depth and also so we are all on the same pace.

I am thinking of starting this weekend if everyone has the copy of the book already. Let me know.

PLEASE introduce yourself as well. Link to any twitter accts, blogs, etc that you would like us to check out, so we can follow you and get to know you more.

My name is Jillian and I am both a book blogger and a booktuber. I like general fiction, but pretty much read whatever it is that sounds interesting to me!

Hello, I'm Paul and i love to read Fantasy and Science Fiction. I am a slow reader and for the next year have very bizarre hours at work. I will do my best to keep up. I bought the books a few years ago but haven't gotten around to reading them. I have seen all the HBO shows but i will stick to talking about the current book.


I have no blog, instagram, or twitter. lol I might be a bit too old for all that. lol

[Of Butterflies & Books]

I'm Gabby. I will read pretty much anything, but my top three genres are Urban Fantasy, Historical Fiction, and Mystery. I don't have a book blog, but I am hoping some day I'll get around to creating a booktube channel. I do have the first two books so I'm good. Just let me know the dates.

[Nicci]

Hello all,

I'm Nicci and will read anything that's good. My fav book is Catch 22, my favourite horror writer is Adam Nevill, and I also love Batman and Hellblazer.

I work for a publisher/bookstore which specialises in Science Fiction and graphic novels.

I can't get on with Twitter (too old!), but I do have instagram http://instagram.com/nicciwarren

Looking forward to the readalong! I'm halfway thru' book 1 because I started before the group was formed.

Have you read the books before or watched the TV show?

[Nicci]

Hello again,

I forgot to say, I've read all the books, and have watched Seasons 1-3 of the show. But I have a terrible memory so don't remember much of the books - I'm easily confused by names, Houses and loyalties!

[Kimberley]

i agree you forget who is who cause there is so much going on

[Kaia]

Hi! I'm Kaia. I read pretty widely--sf, fantasy, literary fiction, ya, global lit, and historical fiction. I work at a library and am currently in grad school to become a librarian. I've read the first book before and seen the TV show. I enjoyed both, but I needed a little extra incentive to continue with the series. I'm excited to join you all!

[Kevin]

Hey everyone my name is Kevin. I am new to reading and goodreads. I have watched all the seasons of GoT on HBO so I am up to date with the show. I started reading GoT because I really want to find out what happens next because it's hard to wait a year between now and season 5. I have never really read at all but it is starting to turn into my new hobby. I am currently on book one of the series and I am on page 486.

[Hashmi]

Hey i'm Hashmi, new to goodreads, love reading, and writing! Managed to write and self-publish 2 fantasy books that are on here with excerpts.
Hooked on Game of Thrones, currently reading the first book. Haven't watched the series but I might once I've read the books and got my own little world going in my head. I don't have a twitter account or a blog....no idea how to get them started either!! lol

[Paul]

Hello to the few new people. as a group we are about Chapter 20 and about to add another 10 chapters any day now. It is good to add more people.

Paul

[Luke]

Hi there, I'm Luke. I love Game of Thrones and I'm up to date with the TV show. I actually just finished the first book two days ago and I was going to start reading the second today. Therefore, I won't participate in the Read Along until everyone has caught up.

[Jillian]

Hi to the new readers here!! We are currently working on gOt independently since some are reading faster than others. There is a general forum here if you'd like to add in thoughts as you go along! We'll have a bigger discussion when we're all finished!

[Britannia]

Hello, Fellow Westerosians! I'm Britannia and I'm a bookworm/bibliophile! I love reading,like,supremely. I read more than one book at a time...I know I can't be the only one. Lol
Anywho,I'm quite close to finishing A Clash of Kings and I have watched the show after finishing the books or certain chapters. I love who they chose as the actors, but I'm so happy with how GRRM put all of this together! This is basically my first experience with fantasy, and I was a little apprehensive about it but I love the different perspectives and all.
Aside from reading, I go to school and I draw (if you want to check out my art or my silliness,then visit my
Instagram: gamagoorira and gamagoorirart). I do have a tumblr: westerosianwhovian.tumblr.com.
