What Are You Reading?

[skimom2]

Have 57 pages left of Game of Thrones and Clash of Kings is waiting in the wings. We don't have HBO so I've only seen snippets when they've had a free weekend as I didn't want to watch it out of order. I'd like to get through all of the books before trying to find it elsewhere on video to do a binge watch.

I very much like this book series, independent of the TV series. #4 was difficult to get in to, but well worth it when I finally did. He did an unusual thing with #4 and #5: #4 focusses on the 'lesser' characters, #5 is the 'bigger' characters' adventures, running simultaneously with #4, then the storylines come together again at the end of #5. It was different, but I ended up liking the way Martin handled such a big, sprawling cast. Wish he'd get #6 out

On Cronin's facebook, he says "City of Mirrors" will be out in fall, possibly October. Probably too soon for advance orders from Amazon and B&N.

Good news. Although it seems like the same thing was said last year too.

Yeah, its been kind of a long wait. Has read the five books and really liked them. Just kind of feel i want to read the books before i see the rest of the series especially since i understand that the scriptwriters now have written episodes that does not go along with his books. Saw the first season but stopped after that. Will probably watch eventually.

Just finished Where They Found Her by Kimberly McCreight; what a story, murder and mayhem surprise after surprise!! Her first book which I just reserved at the library, won the Edger award, the Alex award and the Anthony award! I highly recommend this author.

I picked up the box set on sale from Amazon last month. My TBR list was already a mile long, but they were too good to pass up.

You're very likely correct on when the pornyness started (lol). It's been years since I read any but the first one--I just re-read that one last year. I remember liking most of when they were in the camp, so I'm likely mixing up the order of the books in my old noggin

"pornyness" - that's cute!

I was shopping today and at the grocery store in the freezer aisle I saw "Popcorn Shrimp" - somehow my mind made the leap to porn shrimp

I finally got around to starting Revival - I snorted out loud at the part that said:

Spoiler

we knew the Catlicks were going to H*ll for worshiping idols

(or words to that effect).

I am reading some manga: Dr. Slump Vol. 1 by Akira Toriyama, Dragonball Vol. 7 by Akira Toriyama as well, and Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist Vol. 2 by Kazuki Takahashi.

I don't have any actual books going on right now. On a bit of a hiatus even though my Kindle has so many unread books on it that I can swear it is starting to bloat. My TBR stack of physical books has gotten so out of hand that passersby might think I live in a skyscraper, but I'm really just next to a tall stack of books.

I am currently reading Ghost Story by Peter Straub.

Last night while reading, I suddenly sense a presence outside my bedroom door, then hear scratching at my door. Then hear a raspy whispery voice say “are you ready?” It was my spooky 7 year old niece asking me if I was ready to play with her, because I told her earlier I would play when I finished reading the chapter I was on.

I would have jumped half a meter. Ghostly!

Still reading The Clan of the Cave Bear, but I also had to download and start The Pines after watching Wayward Pines Thursday night.
The show is based on a trilogy of books.
