Synopsis:

Long ago, in a time forgotten, a preternatural event threw the seasons out of balance. The cold is returning, and in the frozen wastes to the north of Winterfell, sinister forces are massing beyond the kingdom's protective wall. To the south, the King's powers are failing, and his enemies are emerging from the shadows of the throne. At the center of the conflict lie the Starks of Winterfell, a family as harsh and unyielding as the frozen land they were born to. Now Lord Eddard Stark is reluctantly summoned to serve as the King's new Hand, an appointment that threatens to sunder not only his family but also the kingdom itself. A heroic fantasy of lords and ladies, soldiers and sorcerers, assassins and evildoers who come together in a time of grim omens. The first volume in George Martin's series.

This'll be a lengthy read, get cozy.

I'm in the middle of a book right now and if I could just push my way through it I could start this book. I've just... not been reading much at all though. >_<

I'm about half way though game of thrones but I had to send it back to the library. I'll try to pick the audio book back up but I like reading it so much more. So far I like it, though it does seem to bog down at times.

Oye, I can't get past the price. gonna have to skip this one. sorry.

You saw the ones they had for like $17.00 too, right?
I got mine for $8.99 - I just looked a little further along the bookshelf. Non-descript blue cover, typical softcover size, sitting at the start of another long line of non-descript covers of typical softcover sized books. That was at B&N but I could have sworn I saw the same one at the grocery store too.

Or try

They have free shipping and even though they warn of long ship times cuz they're in England, I've gotten books from there faster than domestic retailers. One book I got in four days. One I had to wait for 10 or 12. That's the range for me. Also It's $6.99 there.

Edit: I forgot there's a code for 5 per cent off your order good until 9/5. Code: BTS2011

cool I got it for $6.99
Woot, I get to read it too!
:)
Aww, I'm such a goober, I got so excited about the cheap price I forgot about the coupon code. lol.

I'm going to read infected first and then see if I want to read this. Last time I tried to read both books I never got past the first few chapters in the second book........I still have Watership Down out from the library and haven't picked it up in several weeks. So I'm waiting to see if I'm tackling both.

makes sense to me. I'll read them in the order they arrive since I have to order my books. No place local to get them.

I just downloaded Infected, I'm going to see if my library has Game of Thrones. If not my B&N has the paperback.

Glad to help. And I wouldn't worry, the coupon only amounted to 35 cents for that book. Hardly earthshaking. I'm just cheap and poor, so I try to give out savings tips where I can.

Dian: Sorry to hear you still can't get into Watership Down. Oh well, all books aren't for everyone. I hope your library does have Game of Thrones. That's where I got mine. The trouble is that since the show's been on, it's popular. I had to send my copy back because of a reserve. I do have the audio book on my comp but it's just not the same as reading for me.

Yeah I think Watership Down will be one of those books I'll just have to get back to one day, I went ahead and turned it back in. Its been really hard for me to get into books this past month or so, I've been reading a lot of manga and watching anime.(I've been on a romance kick and lets face it, you cant find that without too much sex in any book nowadays)

as for Game of Thrones I will probably be waiting to read that for awhile. When I went to the library to return Watership Down I check the availability of Game of Thrones and there were 32 holds placed on the books.(each branch actually has a copy but all of them are spoken for, for a long long time. >.<)

My book arrrived today, oddly Infected which is being shipped from Texas still hasn't. lol

Oye, still haven't read it. My son borrowed and hasn't given it back. That brat. lol
