Monthly Meme/Discussion GoT

Discussion #5: Game of Thrones Reading Challenge 2012

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Discussion #5: Game of Thrones Reading Challenge 2012

Here is the fifth monthly meme/discussions for the Game of Thrones Reading Challenge. Yes I do realize this post is late, but it’s been a busy reading year :) . This month’s discussion is on A Dance with Dragons. 

As usual, I will post five questions for you all to mull over and I will answer one of the questions myself to start off the discussion. I also invite you to post your favorite quote or passage from the book. These are meant purely for fun and by no means required to participate in the challenges.

Make sure you link your responses or reviews back to your blog using the Mr Linky on the corresponding Game of Thrones Monthly Meme page or you can simply leave your response in the comments. The goal is to have some fun discussions and talk about the books.

I hope all you challenge participants have had some time to read third book in the series, but if not no worries we do have all year :) . Please remember, no matter where you are in the book or series, you are more than welcome to discuss the book right along with us :) .

Review: A Dance with Dragons (A Song of Ice and Fire #5) by George R. R. Martin

by The Lit Bitch4 Comments on Review: A Dance with Dragons (A Song of Ice and Fire #5) by George R. R. Martin

Not all men were meant to dance with dragons…but Daenerys Targaryen can!In the fifth book of the A Song of Ice and Fire series, we find ourselves across the Narrow Sea waiting to see if Daenerys Targaryen will ever make it back to Westeros and reclaim her birthright!

In A Feast for Crows, we met a lot of new characters along with a few familiar favorites. Since AFFC and ADWD were supposed to be one long book, I expected to see some overlap in the timeline and more of our fav characters in this book….and I was right, many of my fav characters were back!

I will try to make this review as spoiler free as possible, but it is difficult not to include references from the previous three books but I will do my best but consider yourself warned.
