I’m a readaholic (again)

So… I know I just started Game of Thrones, and I’ve hardly even spoken about that on here. But look what finally arrived today!

I’m playing The Witcher game right now, and I find the world very interesting. I’ve been itching to see the story portrayed in its original form. I understand it’s going to be quite different, but that’s a good thing!

I know what you’re thinking. “You’re starting another book? What is wrong with you?”

Well, this is actually a good thing! In past times, I was in the middle of usually 20-30 books at a time – no joke! This included several books for pure enjoyment, books for school, classics, young adult, epic fantasy. It feels a little like I’m getting back to being me. Because of the change of my reading habits, unless I have a proper review to do, I’ll update every Friday night with what I’ve been up to during the week. This included by book club book (more on that later), Game of Thrones, The Last Wish, and even my textbook for this semester.

Happy reading, everyone!

(Winter still isn’t coming, by the way.)

I guess every fantasy fan has to do it…

Since it’s been a while, I’m just stopping by to give a quick update.

Well, I finally did. I started Game of Thrones. (I have never seen any of the TV show yet.) According to GoodReads, I’m 14% into it. I’m really enjoying it, more than I thought I would, to be honest. Reading it kind of reminds me of when I first started Wizard’s First Rule, and it’s really nice to have that feeling back.

No, I have not given up on Banewreaker, but it just isn’t what I need in a book right now. I’ll try to get back into it soon. I’m starting to really get back into reading, a bit of stuff is piling up on my plate.

And just to let you all know, I do plan on having a contest. I’m not sure when, but if things work out right, I know what it will coincide with. So stay tuned!

Winter is (not) coming.
