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.
The SumHarry - the entire plot of the Harry Potter books on one poster.
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.
sumi, that link gives me a 403.
Here's another link about that: [link]
Nathan Fillion is reading A Game of Thrones:
RT @nathanfillion: Ahhh. The beach, the sun, & Game of Thrones on Kindle. Alan Tudyk would love this. If he could read. >[link]
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.
I know. I don't know whether to think that there is really something there or if it's just the sort of thing we come up with when it's been too long between books.
I mean,
they were described as old hunting scenes so it seems unlikely that the tapestries themselves were intrinsically
important.
Could be
some kind of arcane knowledge that we don't even know would be useful, encoded in the pictures all Da Vinci Code style. We could be reading too much into it, but Littlefinger is not a guy who does things for no reason...
RT @nathanfillion: Ahhh. The beach, the sun, & Game of Thrones on Kindle. Alan Tudyk would love this. If he could read.
Now I'm not sure if I want Tudyk to turn up on Castle as an illiterate or a smarty-pants. But turn up he should.
