I've been on an audiobook kick lately because I listen to them before read and can get through them faster than sitting down and actually reading. I picked up this book because the author is coming to ApollyCon next year and I've been wanting to try this series. I'm seriously kicking myself now that I didn't pick up this book sooner! Loving it!

I'm late to the game again. This book was published when I was four and the show premeired when I was 19. I have never watched a full episode of the show because 1. I don't have HBO. 2. My grandmother wouldn't have watched it with me. 3. I wasn't sure I would like it. The last reason goes as to why I haven't read this book or series before but I finally decided it was time. OMG I'm kicking myself for not reading this sooner. I may not have liked it when I was a teenager, I wasn't into fantasy novels back then, but once I fell in love with other fantasy authors I should have tried this series out! I can't put it down. 

I – Indicate which book/s you are looking forward to reading this weekend.

I'm about 1/2 through A Game of Thrones and I'm hoping to have it finished up either Wednesday and Thursday as long as I pace myself to about 100 pages a day. 

F – Favorite quote of the week/day

“Never forget what you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armour yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you.” 

― George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones

I love this quote.
