Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments I've not read A Game of Thrones but I know lots of groupites have enjoyed it.

I've just seen on my Facebook that they're selling the first four books in a bundle for £19.99 if anyone is interested.

Sexy link please, Simon?

Simon (Highwayman) (highwayman) | 4276 comments Hi Patti, I have created a category called 'Featured Items' in the store. Also, here is the link :

A Game of Thrones Volumes 1-4

This link should also credit our account!

Dan | 10 comments Just a warning, I bought this when I first got my Kindle - all 4 books come as one big book and there were multiple spelling errors and the 'page number' displayed only went up to 595, or something like that. I had a refund off Amazon and they said they were going to remove it until it has been fixed, so not sure if it has.

I'm currently reading the third in the series (as a separate kindle book) and haven't noticed any spelling mistakes, so maybe the separate books would be a better option...


Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Thanks for the heads up, Daniel.

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments I loved these books but i would put out a word of warning against the 5th book, do not have high expectations, I still enjoyed it but there was a lot of "I think i'll sit here and wait for so and so to come to me"

Hopefully the 6th will be a bit more action packed and we wont have to wait 5 years for it to be released

I felt the same way. I loved the series and read one right after another like I was gorging myself. Book 5 wasn't as good as the others but I'd still go grab the 6th if it was ready.

I bought them all separately and had no issues with format or grammar on my Kindle

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments well christmas is just around the corner :o)

The 2nd tv series is well underway now. They've finished filming in NI and are off to Norway or Sweden, or somewhere with a lot of snow and ice I guess. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for early Spring next year


message 8: by Weenie (new)

Weenie I've only read the first three books but have re-read each one at least a couple of times. I'll be re-reading the second book again for the 3rd time at some point.


message 9: by Jud (new)

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments I cant remember if the 3rd or 4th book was the best... 5th was very slow not much happened in it, especially compared to the ones that came before it

Colette | 22 comments Gosh I'm so behind, just finished the 1st one, filled in the 'gaps' in the series. We are now re-watching it and I find I'm enjoying it more second time around as I understand better what's going on.
Does anyone else really love the opening credits? They are so mesmerizing and the music is beautiful. It's the only show we don't forward the credits on, just sit and stir!

Only bit of the show that I had any time for frankly - well that and the awesomely excellent Peter Dinklage. Any show that can exhaust my tolerance for pointless nudity (which is pretty high I can tell you)is doing something wrong.

I can only assume that the books were an awful lot better since everyone seems to love them.


message 12: by Weenie (new)

Weenie There's nudity and sex in the books so the show is pretty accurate in that aspect. I've not watched the whole series yet, probably about halfway but am enjoying them (and the credits!)


Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Dinklage. What an unfortunate name.


message 14: by Jud (new)

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments I love the opening credits, the books are a million times better than the tv show. Not sure how much i would have enjoyed the programme had i not read the series before watching it or not known people involved in the making of it, spent a lot of the time trying to spot my cousin! If anyone is interested she is the turquoise triangle in the crowd when the horses head is cut off!

Darren Humphries (darrenhf) | 6903 comments If you're interested and quick Amazon.co.uk Black Friday deals have the DTB box set for £15 rather than £40.

Didn't really know the best place to post this but for anyone interested in Game of Thrones there are loads of videos on youtube about the production of the 2nd series and the release date for first episode is 1st April (I hope that's not a joke because I am very excited)


message 18: by Jud (new)

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments I can't remember but it could be this one I guess cause they are with Bran. Maybe towards the end though.


message 19: by Jud (new)

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments Oh I KNOW!!!! Me too, but that's not for ages


message 20: by Jud (new)

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments Definitely but then you aren't meant to like him


message 21: by Jud (new)

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments Well Cersei is another one she never really changes


message 22: by Jud (new)

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments You really do you are missing out on, oh so much!


message 23: by Karina (new)

Karina Kantas I'm just about to start the first book of the series. I'm so looking forward to it. And I've yet to see the TV series.
