Amy - have your read the other books or just A Game of Thrones?
That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

Because books.
I just started A Clash of Kings, sumi. Loving the new characters being introduced so far, but I'm not even past the prologue.

I started reading A Game of Thrones about a week before the series aired. I finished A Feast for Crows a couple weeks ago. That series consistently went places I never thought it would go! OMG, can it be June 12th already?!

I swear, those books have some of the best HSQ of any series I can remember reading. Seriously having to put down the damn book and walk around the room going "Holy Shit!" for a while.

S. keeps saying at the end of every episode, "The shit is really going to hit the fan now!" and I say, "...you said that last week, babe."

Right? Having somebody else read them just a little while after you do is the best, because you can get all that validated.

The entire third book destroyed me. I'm normally a silent reader, but I caught myself gasping out loud on several occasions.
The worst part about reading these books is that I usually "share" what I'm reading with my boyfriend. He's not a reader (which makes me horribly sad), but he's always asking me about what I'm reading and I love to tell him everything that's happening (oh the fun we had with Twilight!) But since we're watching the series together, I didn't share anything with him. That was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do!
When I finished the last book, I felt horribly sad because I wanted more, and I knew there wasn't more. (I was so immersed in this world for six weeks it was hard to let it go.) I'm sure that feeling will be worse after A Dance with Dragons because then I know it will be a loooooooong wait.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
I had to stop and walk away after the red wedding. like, OMFG, how could that possibly happen? Shocked. Appalled. And impressed. I just wanted to go scream and jump up and down with someone but my friend who is also reading the series is a book behind and was flagging...i encouraged him that book 3 really brings the hurt in a good way.

Oh yeah. That was shocking. And of course, foreseen by Daenerys.
True Blood - it premieres on June 26th and then on June 27th you can get the first and the second episodes On Demand.
