A Game of Thrones: A Song of Ice and Fire | George R. R. Martin

I apologize for being AWOL the last few weeks in general, especially for the #GOTbuddylongread - after finding out I was pregnant I was very sick for awhile. Finally feeling better but I have zero energy and I've gone from reading 7-10 books a week to only reading 1 book in the past month. Hoping to get back into the swing of things soon. I just haven't been myself lately. Oh, also have a hurricane headed this way soon. 😑 Happy reading everyone!

cobwebmoth Stay safe. Hugs! 7y

Yeah_I_Read I could barely read when I was pregnant with my last one. Sorry you're not feeling well. Hopefully it doesn't last too long. Idk if you have kids already but it isn't too bad in the second trimester 😊 7y

JenlovesJT47 @Yeah_I_Read thanks! This is my first baby so I didn't know what to expect. I already have a lot of health problems so that made things more difficult at first, but thankfully my morning sickness only lasted for about a week. I'm just having a problem focusing on reading right now, even though I have a huge list of books I want to read! 7y

JenlovesJT47 @cobwebmoth thank you! ☺️ 7y

Yeah_I_Read @JenlovesJT47 it's an evil trick, when I was pregnant the first time all I wanted to do was sleep and I would be having a conversation and couldn't keep a thought in my head. I was like what is happening to me 😫😫it's worth it tho 😍😊 7y

JenlovesJT47 @Yeah_I_Read lol I know what you mean! Pregnancy brain is no joke! 😱 and yes, totally worth it ☺️ 7y

DivineDiana Best wishes! 👶🏼 7y

laurieluna Best wishes! 💕 Reading time doesn't improve when they arrive sadly. I now have 2 and I've only read about 100 pages in the past week. I'll get my current read pile finished by 2020 at this rate... 7y

mrp27 Congrats and stay safe! 7y

Dragon Take care and congratulations!🎉 7y

JenlovesJT47 @DivineDiana @miralunasbooknook @mrp27 @Dragon thanks guys! ☺️ 7y

alisiakae Congrats!! I hope you are feeling better, the first trimester can be rough! I am putting the Ready Player One #travellingbook in the mail tomorrow, you should receive it soon! 7y

JenlovesJT47 @4thhouseontheleft awesome, thank you! Hoping to get back to normal soon! 7y

I left this at home when I went to my sister's in Virginia! 🙀
Thankfully I had a backup #gotbuddylongread with me.
I'm home now and enjoying it with a couple scones I brought back from Lady Camellia's Pastry and Tea Room in Georgetown.
Accompanying the scones (with strawberry and cherry pie preserves) is my favorite Dragonfly Song Roobois tea. Ahhhh, lazy Sundays (or Mondays, as the case may be). I hope everyone is having a great Labor Day!

Simona Ordinary, working day for me ... 7y

Jinjer Not married but can see how they just don't understannnnnnnnnnd. We must read ALL the books. 7y

Librariana I had books spread out on the couch, the ottoman, and the table.I hear ya! My husband doesn't ask. He's come to know I'm usually reading multiple books at a time and am horrible about requesting too many things from the library 😊 7y

annkuch13 I had to unfriend some of my relatives for doing that kind of stuff on Facebook. I basically shun them in real life now, too. 7y

Yeah_I_Read @annkuch13 I was going to comment on the post but I know it wouldn't make any difference. I've had to unfollow several people too over the last 18 months or so. It's really more the ignorance that is offensive than the statements yk 😔🤷🏽‍♀️ 7y

annkuch13 @Yeah_I_Read I feel you. I tried having a conversation with this person about why what she said was hurtful even if she didn't mean it that way. She threatened to never let me see my niece again. 7y

BillBlume My niece is getting married later this year. It will be in South Carolina, and most of my relatives who will probably be there are raging Trump supporters. 🙄 7y

Yeah_I_Read @BillBlume I'm praying for you man... that is a tough situation. 7y

BillBlume Thanks. And ditto. Frustrating any of us are seeing this happen, that it's there at all and so openly. 7y

annkuch13 @BillBlume Oh wow! I'm in South Carolina so I know how bad it can be. Good luck with the wedding and navigating all of that! 7y

teebe Ugh people suck. Currently on an unfollowing spree too. I don't know know what's up today but every single social media I've been on since work ended has been full of racist bs. 7y

I couldn't make myself wait each week with the #GOTbuddylongread and I found myself finishing this very quickly. I don't know why I was so intimidated to read this, it was very compelling. Can't wait to start book 2! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️#gameofthrones 👑❄️🗡

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks ❤️❤️ 7y

Andrew65 It is highly addictive. 7y

JenlovesJT47 @Andrew65 definitely! I was surprised for some reason. I love the show and have been meaning to read the books for the past four years, don't know what I was afraid of! 7y

Andrew65 @jenlovesJT47 I've held off watching the show until I've read the books then plan to binge watch the series. I'm aiming to read book 4 later this month. (edited) 7y

JenlovesJT47 @Andrew65 that's awesome. The show is very comparable to the books, they don't change a lot. You'll probably finish the entire show in a week! 🙃 7y

[DELETED] 206653737 I am at 84% in book 2 and I have to say it hasn't been near as good as the first 😐 I hear good things about book 3 though. 7y

A Game of Thrones: A Song of Ice and Fire | George R. R. Martin

I am sooo behind on the discussion questions for last week for the #GOTbuddylongread - I'm sorry! I had really bad morning/all day sickness for over a week and could barely get out of bed. 😷 Feeling better now! Please see the discussion questions below. #gameofthrones

JenlovesJT47 Aerys Targaryen (the mad king), raped Lyanna Stark and murdered her brother, and then attempted to murder their allies–the Starks, Baratheons, and Arryns rebelled and overthrew the king. Afterward, Robert was crowned king. How much of his actions now are still revenge orientated? Do you think he is justified in his hatred of the Targaryens? Do you feel his actions, past and present, are justified? 7y

cobwebmoth I personally think that Robert is a giant child who never grew up. He pouts and throws tantrums when he doesn't get what he wants. I have trouble understanding anyone who thinks that having children assassinated is an okay thing. 7y

EllieDottie I hope you are feeling better!! 7y

EllieDottie I agree with @cobwebmoth about Robert! (edited) 7y

JenlovesJT47 I concur @cobwebmoth he is very immature. Thanks @EllieDottie I'm feeling a little better! 7y
