ASOIAF ( Game of thrones ) TAG - SPOILERS AHEAD!

I tag everyone of you!

Favorite male POV? 

He's my favorite character in the whole series & has a really good personality. That is Jamie Lannister. In the first book you don't get a point of view from Jaime but you hear about him through other characters. At first I thought he was a pretty bad person but when I finally was introduced to him I saw that it wasn't the case. Jaime has a fine line between good & bad. Once you get inside his head you realize that he's not doing all these terrible things for a noble cause but it's for his love & devotion as he feels the need to protect a character that he loves very much.....maybe too much. It is a bit disgusting but at the same time it's a little bit sweet.

Favorite female POV?
George R. R Martin creates really wonderful female characters. I have a few that I want to see more of even if I don't necessarily find them as a favorite. First I really want to see mention Cersei Lannister, she is a ticking time bomb. You never know what her next move is going to be. Secondly I want to mention Daenerys Targaryen, now that she lost one of her dragons I really want her to make a powerful change in the war. My favorite scenario would be that she gets her dragon back somehow, but I know this is probably not going to happen - because it's George R. R Martin & not Disney.

A character that everyone loves but you seem to hate

This is a though one. In the book I felt very bored of Aria Stark & her storyline. I don't hate her but I just thought her journey didn't make much sense & sometimes she felt like a spoiled brat. But I want to see where her characters is supposed to go from now.




A favorite fan theory

When Cersie sees this profecy of a younger queen taking her place & be more beautiful than her. Then her younger brother becomes more powerful. This is the reason for her hate of Tyrion. But in theory it's Jaime because he's the younger of the two twins. I just can't wait for him to kill her. That would be wonderful.

Favorite unusual relationship 

Daenerys Targaryen & Jon Snow because that would be incest. Altough we all are rooting for incest....Another couple is Jaime & Brianne, she makes him a better man.

A plot twist that you didn't see coming

The red wedding. One of my favorite characters died there.

Most traumatic death scene in the series

Daenerys Targaryen's brother, when they pour hot, liquid gold onto his face.

A character that was already dead when the series began, that you wanted to get to know more


TheTargaryen's. There are some short novellas about them so maybe I'll check them out.

One of us is lying by Karen M. McManus review 2018

I just finished One of us is lying by Karen M. McManus & I loved it! I'm buddy reading this with the wonderful June so we are going to discuss it together.
If you are interested in buddy reading with me, just let me know!





One of Us Is Lying

My thoughts: 

5/5 stars on goodreads. 

This book was splendid! It made me laugh, cry, be angry, feel hurt..oh! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time & I couldn't figure out the ending. I liked the writing style, which was a new style for me. The characters were all great in their own way & they felt real. I'd love to see a sequel on this!

The only thing that I didn't like was that it was in Ebook form. I love the feeling of a real book. I'll have to buy another copy.

I really recommend it to everyone!

Mansfield Park Readalong Announcement

Hello everyone!

There is a Mansfield Park by Jane Austen readalong coming in the end of this month!
My dear booktube friend Shantell will be joining me & here's her booktube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCuLcZN7sTs&t=0s

I'm looking forward to chat with her & the others about the book. This will be amazing!



Mansfield Park Readalong

'We have all been more or less to blame ... every one of us, excepting Fanny' Taken from the poverty of her parents' home, Fanny Price is brought up with her rich cousins at Mansfield Park, acutely aware of her humble rank and with only her cousin Edmund as an ally. 
When Fanny's uncle is absent in Antigua, Mary Crawford and her brother Henry arrive in the neighbourhood, bringing with them London glamour and a reckless taste for flirtation. As her female cousins vie for Henry's attention, and even Edmund falls for Mary's dazzling charms, only Fanny remains doubtful about the Crawfords' influence and finds herself more isolated than ever. A subtle examination of social position and moral integrity, Mansfield Park is one of Jane Austen's most profound works.

 Let's read Mansfield Park together in February.
You can start the book when you like but I will read it from the 17th of February till the 28th of February.
