Although I know a lot of hard-core fans of it in Russia. Ow, A Clash of Kings is so much better than this...

And I thought I was doing heavy reading with Doctor Zhivago. Goodness! Anyway, wishing you luck and hoping you will get to A Feast for Crows. I'm listening to A Clash of Kings on audio (because my mom is reading my print book) so I can read the next one before the show comes back on in April. I find that I can't wait to get in the car just so I can listen. I'm loving it!<br /><br />Oh, and happy belated birthday!

Tomorrow is just the most convenient day for throwing a party for various reasons :)) <br />I also have several books I'm reading at the moment, but I'm planning to read at least two chapters of HP this week. I've found a new Spanish group for conversation practice, and I need to read more to prepare for the first meeting! I'm so afraid I will not be able to say a word!

I hope you have a nice relaxing read-a-thon but there's no hurry in catching up to me; I've been flittering around from one book to the next for the past week or so and haven't been able to really settle on anything so I have several books I'm working on at the moment. Have a great day tomorrow- how old are you turning, if you don't mind me asking?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-822647988376386021.post-53543966779390073042014-01-27T19:58:27.500+01:002014-01-27T19:58:27.500+01:00Thanks, Dorothee! :)Thanks, Dorothee! :)Arenelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08646965847129179304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-822647988376386021.post-76036119260914539622014-01-27T19:58:10.061+01:002014-01-27T19:58:10.061+01:00Thanks a lot!

I'm going to read both books 4 and 5 before the series start to air, because I'm not sure how they are mixing the books into the seasons, and I don't want to get any spoilers :))Arenelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08646965847129179304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-822647988376386021.post-42153914180107175232014-01-27T19:39:29.777+01:002014-01-27T19:39:29.777+01:00Happy Birthday and enjoy your readathon!

I had two weeks off from work during Christmas and I didn't read a single book. I was very bad. <br />Third of all, yay for A Feast for Crows! I am going to read this one sometime this year too. Once the season 4 of the show is done or maybe even earlier - that's my plan. <br /><br />Good luck with your readathon! And have fun!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
