Eddard Stark is online Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Thanks for all the warm welcomes! I do find this place very addictive. And I can see from some of the threads I follow that there are a lot of addicts lol! Seems like some people don't sleep! But it is way more entertaining than facebook for sure. And even though the show is somewhat different from the books, I can't wait for it to come back on so I can get my fix until TWOW comes out (please let it be sometime this year!) I think it's highly doubtful The Winds of Winter will be out this year! I reckon one of the best things you can do to make the wait less painful is to just re-read the whole series. It'll certainly keep you occupied for a long time (It took me 16 months to read the entire series the first time around) and it means when Winds of Winter does come out you won't be all like "Damn, what happened with X last time?". I had initially planned on stalling my re-read for as long as possible, but changed my mind when I remembered about the final installment of the Harry Potter series coming out and I hadn't yet finished my re-read of the previous book, gah! So yeah, re-read the series, then re-watch the TV shows, that's my plan. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady ginger Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I really do need to re-read. I have book marks in aGoT, aFfC, and aDwD. I keep changing my mind on how I want to go about reading them. and then I just don't get back to them. I think for sure Feast and Dance before the show comes back on..even though I think the show will exclude quite a bit of material Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reuben Stoneheart Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) Welcome Reuben :cheers: Sounds like a good plan :lol: Who are your favourite characters and do you watch the show as well?Hi Adara, thanks for the welcome. Yes I watch the show as well, I love it.I actually only started reading the books when Season 4 finished - I had to get my Game of Thrones fix! But I became totally hooked on the books and love discussing them. As I said, I'm on Dance with Dragons just now so will be finished soon - then I'll need til April for Season 5 to start!As for my favourite characters, that's a toughie. I love Cersei, she's such an evil bitch that I found her chapters the most interesting to read.I also loved Tywin LannisterOthers I like include Blackfish Tully, Queen of Thrones and Melisandre. And, of course, Lady Stoneheart. I hope she has bigger part in the next book. Edited January 17, 2015 by Reuben Stoneheart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not too late to introduce her.And here is our expert on House Lannister: Welcome to the boards, Reuben! :cheers: :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reuben Stoneheart Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I hope we'll see Stoneheart in the show. It's not too late to introduce her.:DI hope so. I knew about the character before I started the books (thanks to a friend who spoiled it for me!) so I was convinced that Stoneheart's reveal would be the season 4 finale. It so should've been!!

For now, I might just stick to this General Chat area. So, hello :) Hi Reuben, welcome! So Lady Stoneheart's one of your favourites eh? That's interesting, I don't think it had occured to me she could be a favourite, although I guess Cat was never one of my faves, which probably clouds my judgment on that one. I think everyone here knows who my favourite character is. :P Yeah def stick to the General Chat section to avoid spoilers. I'd say keep away from the 'General (ASOIAF)' section most of all, as I think that one is the most spoiler-heavy, as well as people spoiling what comes next with their theories.
