The paper is a bit odd but I'll gladly ignore the paper b/c I love the series.
So I'm still reading the book. I'm not even 1/4 of the way through yet which is VERY unlike me. The main reasons being that because my new school year starts next week with teacher work days, I've been extremely busy prepping since I was changed to teach 1st grade this past Wednesday. Ick!
I've been getting a little confused just because in some of the chapters, they don't use the names of the characters anymore rather they're being called other things such as The Windblown and The Wayward Queen etc. Lol! It takes me a bit to figure out who I'm reading about.
Still, so far, reading about Jon & Tyrion has been the best. Not liking Dany's chapters so far. I hope they get better.

Finished reading the first book, about a third of the way done with the second. I like Tyrion more and more. The odd thing about the second book is that Robb isn't a chapter. I didn't notice it until a few chapters ago.

Robb definitely gets more notice later on. Promise.
Here are some interesting articles for those who are interested.
The 6 most evil characters in the book series.
SPOILER ALERT! DO NOT CLICK ON THIS LINK IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE BOOKS UNLESS YOU DON'T CARE!
Jaqen H'ghar has been cast! Thoughts? Minor spoilers in the article but nothing OMG!
Asha Greyjoy & Xaro Xhoan Daxos have also been cast. Irritated at the name change for Asha though. Seriously? Heaven forbid there are 2 characters in a story with similar names. So stupid!
Davos Seaworth has been cast. I like this casting.
Finally, Stannis Baratheon and Lady Melisandre have been cast. I like the actress cast for Melisandre but I'm not too crazy about the guy cast for Stannis. I always pictured him as brawny & dark (as in a dismal aura around him since he's a humorless guy) but this guy doesn't fit my imagination. Oh well. We'll see what happens.

Y'all, help me out. I'm listening to A Game of Thrones on audiobook and intend to listen to the rest of the books too. We kind of want to watch the show but I don't want to spoil the books -- how far into the series does the show go? Is it just book 1? I'm about halfway through the book.

So far, season one of Game of Thrones just covers the first book. It strays into the second just a little bit, but not enough to ruin it for you.

Winter is coming.
Woohoo! Previews of some of the new characters for Season 2 are up. Just teasers but we get a first look at some of the new characters like Stannis, Melisandre, Margery, etc.
To say I'm excited is an understatement.

I know!! I'm so excited. Screencaps and GIFs have been blowing up my Tumblr all day. I just love Natalie Dormer so much, and I think she will make an amazing Margaery.
Sidenote: there are a couple of girls who like GoT in my chapter so we gave each other little nicknames, and I'm Margaery.
Side-sidenote: If you're bored, take this quiz to see what house you would be in. It's pretty detailed and accurate. I'm a Tyrell. http://www.quizfarm.com/quizzes/west...-too/index.php

LOL! I'm House Martell.
You Scored as HOUSE MARTELL
You hail from House Martell. Your house seat is Sunspear in the Dorne. You love the sun and heat, even enough to make your home in the desert. You are independent, strong willed, and can survive no matter what happens. The underdog. You may be different from everyone else, but who said that was a bad thing? Your house motto: Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken.

Not surprising really....
You Scored as HOUSE STARK
Brrr. You hail from House Stark. Your house seat is Winterfell way up North. You are responsible, trustworthy, and know how to be a leader when called upon. You are a workhorse for the realm, and even with all those good things, sometimes you dont come out on top. Your house motto: Winter is Coming.
Also in the recent HBO mini-preview...DB Weiss (Writer and Producer) was seen wearing a black t-shirt with the Sword and Martini Guy...the emblem of the game Kingdom of Loathing....a great game and my friends created and is complete geek-tastic

I'm listening to a Storm of Swords on audiobook while running and OHHHHHHHHHHH MYYYYYYYYYYY GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. I liked a Game of Thrones fine and kind of thought a Clash of Kings was boring, but there was definitely one point in this one where I came to a crashing halt and was all, "WAIT. WHAT."

Haha, yeah! I know what you mean. I had to stop and re-read it like three times just to process the sheer amount of OMG.
