Read A Song Of Ice And Fire 2016 discussion

Fill in the blank.




*** Please avoid spoilers and use general comments, not specific examples from the book series. ***

ASOIAF has taught me some new words:
-betrothed
-usurper

ASOIAF has also taught me that things are not always what they seem.

ASOIAF has taught me that one must always look with more than just their eyes.

A Song of Ice and Fire has taught me to love the fantasy genre again -

Here is another:

Yoo-hoo! Nobody, nobody?
Nobody want to play?

Everyone except me has read:
~The Harry Potter series.

I have not read it because:
~when these books first came out I was not at all interested in books. I only became interested in books about a year and a half ago because I was too sick to play video games. (just the flu nothing serious) So what did I do? Pick up a book about video games and have not stopped reading since. I have been slowly reading this series - I just finished book #3. Some time I will finish the series but it is not the be all, end all at my age.

You are not the only one Leslie. I haven't read them either and started them last year. Haha.

I think you would really like Harry Potter, Leslie.
I don't usually read fantasy, but Harry Potter and of course, Game of Thrones, kind of transcend that genre for me.

Wow, I thought I was the only one.

Terry one thing I have discovered is that as far as fantasy goes I really like swords, dragons and "Game of Thrones type" stuff. But the magic and super powers sides of fantasy are less desirable for me. I now know to watch out for that.

For years I refused to watch the Harry Potter films let alone read the book series. I don't know why... I guess for the same reason I don't want to a get a tattoo. Everybody has one. When I finished the last book, I had to apologize to all my friends and students for saying stuff like: "Why on earth would you waste your time reading utter rubbish?" I was such a fool...Book 7 is definitely on my top 5.

Everyone except me has read:

1984 (George Orwell)

Well maybe not everyone, but it's quite a popular book.It's on my To-read list but for some reason I keep postponing it. The storyline doesn't intrigue me...

After you read the Hunger Games you should read 1984.

Oh is it that good Alex?

I thought so. It was slow, but the topic is interesting. Just puts perspective on the government if we gave them too much power. While reading the Hunger Games I thought of 1984.

I am in the minority but I hated 1984. I didn't exactly finish it. I just jumped to the end to read the ending.

The book started out so good and for me it went downhill in no time. (view spoiler)[ I could not stand "the book" at all. That dam thing carried on for page after page after page. (hide spoiler)]

lol. I can agree with your spoiler at times.

Ok no fancy picture here but:

☺☺☺☺☺

A book series I started, read atleast 2 books and gave up on is ____________________.

☺☺☺☺☺

A book series I started, read atleast 2 books and gave up on is House of Night. Marked Betrayed Untamed

I started this after Twilight Saga in an attempt to find out whether I liked Vampire fiction or not. Naaah... It was just Twilight I liked! By the way Leslie sorry you didn't enjoy it!

Lol I did that with the Twlight series. I didn't think the first book was too bad and then the second book Belle? Was too whiny for me.

I could do the same thing with the Outlander series. Not really what I expected.

Yeah what's the deal with the outlander series? I wanted to read these too but I read some reviews, I saw your ratings and I changed my mind. Too risky and I already have too many reads planned.

The first one wasn't bad and the second was eh until you get to a certain point then it got better. Entertaining I suppose, but i thought it was only going to be centered around one part of history but it goes to revolutionary war and stuff like that. I am not sure if I will like the third book or not. I am just waiting for a friend to read the second book so we can move on to the third lol. I could care less if I picked up the third book or not. Plus I don't like Claire, the main character. Something about her I don't like. Lol

Yeah Claire sucked. She was not my favorite either.

I don't have a fill in the blank answer really. The only series I can think of is back in high school I read those VC Andrews books. The first few were good. (Flowers in the Attic and such) But then the ones life Heaven and the ones that followed felt like the same books over and over.

I have many series that I only read book 1 and quit though.
