It's pretty much like the series so far, if you had watched it, but a little bit better. I'll let you know when I'm done.

Haven't watched it - I kept missing due to time issues :( Saw the first episode but that's it.

. It's a huge book so it's taking some time to read!"A Game of Thrones took me over a week to read (12 days, maybe?), which is really long for me. My interest was sparked by the TV show, but I only watched the first episode and then stopped so I could read the book first. XD then I never finished watching.

lol, it's a big book, I agree. I'm reading it for the last 4-5 days and I'm not even in the middle of it. I think it'll take me around 12 days too.
I love the TV show, the actors are great choices!
        
      @Hayley Your first bad review? Oh my, I'm sorry!
@Veronica I want to read both of those (especially Game of Thrones) Tell me how you like it!
@Sarah Same, I watched the first episode, but then I never got to the book, so I didn't watch the series either lol

      Oh, I can't wait to read Paranormalcy! It looks like something I'll really be interested in - just waiting for my copy to arrive lol!I just finished Everything We Ever Wanted by Sara Shepard, which was enjoyable :) I'm going to work on my review and a special post for it today.
Currently reading Grace for the Good Girl: Letting Go of the Try-Hard Life (I'll be odne this one soon!) and Liesl & Po. I'm LOVING Liesl & Po - but I'm a huge fan of Lauren Oliver lol.

I have sooo many ebooks that I had to make a separate little folder for the ones I wanted to read ASAP.
Ohhh, I love The Hunger Games trilogy ^-^ I almost didn't read it, but a friend of mine pretty much threatened my life if I didn't. LOL

My new bookshelf's arriving today after work so am getting the collection all organised beforehand :D
Back on topic - the book I'm currently reading is great except for one thing - the p.o.v and the way it comes across is a bit irritating and stilted - it's first person and is a lot of 'then I said... and he replied... then we went...'. Not sure about it myself, personally.
