Hi everyone !!
I’m so not having a good day. So bear with me if this post doesn’t turn out to be good. Anyway, shit happens. Let’s get this done.
Now, how ironic is it that I don’t watch GoT and nor have I read the books, but here I am doing a GoT tag !
I was tagged by the lovely Aria from Blue Lily and Blue to do this tag. Do check out her wonderful blog. Thanks for the tag Aria.
Let’s dive right in
HOUSE LANNISTER: HEAR ME ROAR – Name a book that you originally loved, but upon a re-read realized that it wasn’t so great after all.
Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul was a book 13 year-old me LOVED. Now, I really want to throw it out but I won’t because they did play a part in my stupid teenage life.
HOUSE STARK: WINTER IS COMING – Name your most anticipated book release for 2017
You see, living in India, I don’t anticipate any new releases (that are not by Indian authors) because it’ll take some time before it’s available in India and even when they’re available, they’re too expensive. As for books by Indian authors, again I don’t anticipate their release because I’m often apprehensive about them. So I wait till atleast 2 people I know tell me it’s worth reading.
HOUSE TARGARYEN: FIRE AND BLOOD – Name a book that you felt completely slayed with fantastic characters, plot, pacing, etc
You want me to name ONE book ?? What’s wrong with you ? This is tough. Absolute Power by David Baldacci. Also the book that’s the answer for the next question (I didn’t want to repeat books)
HOUSE BARATHEON: OURS IS THE FURY – Name a book that ended with a cliffhanger ending that genuinely pissed you off.
Career of Evil by Robert Galbraith. Honestly JK Rowling, where’s that 4th book ? It has been 2 years since the last book and that cliffhanger is really killing people.
HOUSE MARTELL: UNBOWED. UNBENT. UNBROKEN. – Name a book, or book series, that’s been on your TBR since the dawn of time
His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman. Please don’t kill me. I’ll get to it some day. Hopefully.
HOUSE BOLTON: OUR BLADES ARE SHARP – Name the most graphic or disturbing book that you’ve ever read
Oh this one’s easy. The Vegetarian by Han Kang. You can read my review of it here.
HOUSE TYRELL: GROWING STRONG – Name a book, or book series, that gets better and better with every re-read
Harry Potter. Although I’ve only re-read it once.
Seems like I’ve answered them all. Okay, time to tag people. I tag…
And anyone else who wants to do this tag.
Have a great day people !!
-Vrinda.
OMG I totally get the cliffy at the end of Career of Evil – I’ve heard they are filming or already filmed the books – I can’t wait to see how they turn out. And yes, it’s about time she writes book 4. Making us wait is cruel. 😀

Actually, the first 2 episodes of the series are already out (at least in the UK) and pssst… you can watch it online. It’s quite a good adaptation and they’ve tried their best to stick to the book as much as possible.

That is too sad Vrinda that you can’t anticipate books because it takes so long to get them in your country ♥️ we in America don’t realize how good we have it!
