Gris, i read that the goal is 7 books (7 kingdoms, 7 aspects of the divine..)
And given how long #5 took, i think we can all safely assume we will not live to see the climax.
Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

It was originally supposed to be a trilogy, then a four book series, then six. Hopefully seven will stick. I'm hoping that the final two books will be easier for him to write because hopefully he has a clear end game. I think the middle just got away from him a bit.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I just finished Pretties, and, ah! I did not see this coming, and yet I totally should have seen this coming.
It's kind of distracting how much I'm reminded of Hunger Games, even though this came first. I think it's just that they use a lot of the same genre tropes.

Apparently, it is possible for a few complainers to get a book pulled from Amazon.com's shelves.
Sorry - use Amy's link below. I cannot find that story again.

Nathan Fillion is reading A Game of Thrones:

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Speaking of, sumi, I just read the bit in Feast for Crows where Cersei mentions Littlefinger asking for the tapestries - they must be important somehow. As I recall, they were taken down quickly after Robert died, maybe Petyr arranged for something to be wrapped in them so he could retrieve it without anyone knowing? Or maybe the tapestries themselves are important somehow, though I can't some up with a reason. I'm not sure what Petyr is after - Riverrun would make sense but I have a feeling he is thinking bigger than that. His twisty plots are beyond me.
Just a couple more days and I will have all new questions and befuddlements.
