GoT. Season 3 ep.5- Kissed by Fire.
Yes, yes, I know this is late but blame the auto blog post thingy because there I was thinking I’d filed this one in pretty early only to discover um no. *smacks head* Let’s get right to it. We ended the last episode with fire and this episode took off right where we left off;…

GoT. Season 3 ep.4- And now his watch is ended.
First of all, let me just say; if you are not watching Game of Thrones, we’ll never, ever, ever, be friends. YOU CAN’T SIT WITH US! Okay. Episode 4 was so damn fantastic I re-watched it almost immediately, and have watched it everyday, twice a day since it aired. I cannot get over how wonderful…

GoT. Season 3 ep.3- Walk of Punishment.
Another week another damn cliffhanger and what a note to end on!! Bloody hell. This episode picked up the pace with a bit of everything and the return of my favourite characters. It opens with a comedic scene at Lady Stark’s father’s final burial rites. Edmure Tully, her brother, is shooting the arrow to set…

Madam Reads: Something About You by Julie James

GoT. Season 3, ep. 2; Dark Wings, Dark Words
This episode of the Game of Thrones followed a more mellow uptake from the first, still with an influx of new characters. Arya returned to our screens! She is seriously one of my favourite characters I love her guts and gumption. Brienne is still trying to deliver Kingslayer, Jaime to King’s Landing hoping to avoid…

GoT. Season 3 ep.1; Valar Dohaeris
So we left the whole Westeros crew in a bit of a disarray, White Walkers appeared, Sansa became an outcast in the King’s Landing and Khaleesi got her dragon babies back. Of course Joffrey is still a psychopath and his mother an ice cold queen mama. Jammie Lannister is still en-route to be delivered, talk…

Game of Thrones.
I don’t like gore and blood. I don’t like sword fights or men in tights. Not really a fan of fighting wars or medieval times either. I like pretty modern day films, set in cosmopolitan cities where a natural order of things run smoothly and given some twists and turns, good vs evil, good always…
