Book Log

19. A Game of Thrones - George R. R. Martin *

That's a long audio book, but well worth it. The reader was great and the story lived up to its reputation. Going in to it I was worried about being able to keep track of the many many characters, but it was a non-issue. I'll be reading book two in the near future :)

20. One of Our Thursdays Is Missing - Jasper Fforde

An interesting twist on the Thursday Next series - taking center stage in this volume is the written Thursday - that is the current BookWorld version of Thursday who plays in the fictional accounts of Thursday written for the real world (this makes sense if you know the series...) An enjoyable read.

Congrats! Did the charaters & places sound as phonetically similar as they appeared on the pages? I gave up after 6 chapters; there is onyl so much table-setting I can take. :-\

I have both the ebook and paper copies. If you want to borrow the paper editions let me know.

We've been listening to the audiobooks...we're on book 3, now, and love them. (Well, I love them, K is disheartened as to how easy he is with killing people off.)
