I enjoyed listening to the audiobook of this book. I wanted to try something different while I crochet and do house work. I loved the history of the world building. It reminds me of Lord of the Rings in a way. I rated this book a 3 out of 5 stars.

Because I might be semi obsessed with GoT! Never thought that would happen 🤣

#LittensDressedInBlood #Day19 #HeadsWillRoll Heads come off left & right all the way through this series. Don‘t get attached to a character coz it‘s highly probable that something awful will happen to them by the next book, with the blameless as well as the evil being killed in so many different ways. There‘s beheadings, poison, stabbings & death by dragon, not to mention battles & a few tortured to death!

I finished reading #theworldoficeandfire last night. I‘ve been reading it since January. I‘ve just added it to my #readinglog. Now, I can focus on finishing up another book I‘ve started.

This is my review for #theworldoficeandfire that I finished last night. If George never finishes the book series then I‘m going to be okay with that because I feel like I spent enough time immersed in this world by reading this book with the history in it. I‘m ready to read something else for awhile.

I am in such awe of George R. R. Martin because can create a whole different world with its own history and lore. It‘s basically a history book so it can come off as dry to some readers. The book covers every event in Westeros history including information about lands beyond Westeros. The illustrations were stunning and my favorite part of the book.

My kids are so thoughtful!

Deep fried turkey was a huge hit! The last of the family have gone...a bit of cleaning up to do then nothing but reading and cold turkey sandwiches on the agenda for the next 3 days! I love Christmas, but for us it falls into two distinct halves...first half is crazy full on, second half is mellow. I look forward to that bit!

#WinterWonderland Day 12: A veritable #FireAndIce, think of this as a historical tome of a book exploring the many lands and characters in Westeros and beyond. One of those chunksters that I did manage to finish reading - mainly because of the exquisite art found inside. Add the fact that I am an unapologetic GoT fan.

Cinfhen Have a feeling this is going to be VERY popular today 💜 5y

I thoroughly enjoyed the depth and character this book brings to the already complex world of Westeros and Essos. It provides background and context to areas that have yet to be touched by the narrative of A Song of Fire and Ice. I am continually amazed at the worlds that fantasy writers bring to life! I just wish The Winds of Winter would be released already. Am I right?
