What are you reading?

I have truly enjoyed the series, both in the book form and the t.v. show.
I read the books first and found like any other book series that has been turned into a t.v. show that there are things that seem to be forgotten.
I have not seen this season yet but I will probably go back and reread them just to refresh my mind.
Enjoy and happy reading...

I like it a lot, great writing, it's very evocative and it keeps moving ... but my god is it long.

I might need to put it aside for awhile so I can actually read a few other books I have queued up for this summer.

Question for those that have read the "Game of Thrones" series, is it worth it?

I know that is a subjective question.

It's a just such a huge time investment. I haven't had more than an hour a day, to read, for a couple of weeks; I don't feel I'm making a lot of progress with the book, I'm only 50% through book 1 after 2 weeks of reading. For the first time ever I'm tempted to skip the books and watch the television show. But I *know* I will get much more out of the book. I just can't decide if its worth it yet.

Killing At The Cat by Carlene Miller

This is a Lexi Hyatt mystery about a murder taking place at a lesbian bar. So far an interesting read. This is the first book in a series of three, all the books can be read as stand alone.

I read Sum It Up, Pat Summitt's memoir and the last book in the Sookie Stackhouse series. Both were fine. I am shocked that people got all up in arms about Sookie ending up with Sam. He was not my favorite character, but certainly it was a predictable outcome.
