Game of Thrones: The Long Night

"We must fight together now ... or die."


Hello everyone!

We made it. Sort of. 

The Night King came and we mostly made it, so I suppose the day after is the time to count our losses, look and see just who it was that survived to fight another day, and figure out what in the seven hells went wrong.

Is anyone saying 'but nothing went wrong?'

HaHA. Sweet summer children.

A lot of things went wrong.

Still, at the end of the day, it was a cinematografic 80 minutes that HBO dished out for us, and for that I am truly thankful. With only three more episodes to go, it's coming to an end of an era, so I'm feeling bitter-sweet.

That being said, however, everyone is entitled to their own opinions. Or misopinions.

So make sure to grip that dragonglass, and have a torch ready. The Long Night is upon us.

Tome Thursday: Catching Hell


Hello everyone!

This. This is what happens when I run out of time.

I resort to reading novellas because my full-length books are sitting there and staring at me accusingly because I have all of them sort-of-read, but not really.

Honest to goodness, I have novels in the works, people.

I swear!

But ... life happens. And it doesn't usually ask if I'd like it to play nice or anything.

Not that it was anything alarming, just things piling up on things and in the end I had to sacrifice something to keep a sane head on my shoulders, which basically means that this week's book blog post has gotten the short stick.

And I apologise.

However, it's not THAT bad. The book was actually entertaining enough to read!

I just never thought I'd find myself reading anything like Catching Hell.

Game of Thrones: A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms

"We must fight together now ... or die."


Hello everyone!

Winter is here. 

No, I mean, it's LEGIT HERE.

Not many people have missed the second episode of the Game of Thrones final season this weekend/Monday (depending where you live), so I'm going to bet that pretty much everyone knows what I'm talking about .

After all, there's really only one Night King.

And he means business.

With basically a third of the season already over (ZOINKS!) you best believe that it's not going to ease up any time soon.

There's too many people still alive, after all.

Brace yourselves and sound the horns; A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has arrived.

Tome Thursday: Prisoner of Night


Hello everyone!

Now that we've mostly gotten over our OHSH*T moments during the Game of Thrones premiere, it's time to do a little bit of a book review yet again. After all, that's what Thursday's are for!

And I'm back with yet another vampire book.

Because, vampires.

I have this binge I occasionally go on where I will read through every book I can reach within a certain genre or maybe even just series, and right now I'm working through J. R. Ward's books yet again, but I found time to catch up on the short story she published right before The Savior hit the shelves.

If it's vampire, it has Black Dagger Brotherhood over the cover, and it features some new characters of this world? Count me in!

Besides, there's never enough of the Warden to go around.

So Prisoner of Night, please be seated, and let's start your interview, shall we?

Game of Thrones: Winterfell

"We must fight together now ... or die."


Hello everyone!

IT'S HERE.

WE MADE IT.

Almost two years after season seven wrapped up, season eight of Game of Thrones has finally landed.

And boy, is it promising to be a whopper.

We've only really seen the introductory first hour to the last six episodes HBO will give us of this narration (the prequels and sequels and whatever else they cook up don't count at the moment), but already, things are gearing up. An exposition of a premiere, we've pretty much set it all.

How did Gandalf put it?

The board is set. The pieces are moving.

It's time to call the banners and pull out your dragonglass. Winter is here.
