GoT. Season 3 ep.8- The Second Sons.
Grrrrrr…. That’s how I feel right about now, after watching this episode for the fifth time in three days. I’ll probably watch it a sixth, a seventh. Heck an eighth even because I am so addicted to this show and I often have to watch it several times before I am able to do my…

THE LIBRARY | Tryin’ to Sleep in the Bed You Made by Deberry Grant.
A tale of friendship from two friends, I’ve always been fascinated by how this duo write their books. Trying to Sleep is the first book I read from Deberry Grant and I’ve read it several times afterwards and committed it to memory almost. Its a yearly read and a very fine one at that. Gayle…

GoT. Season 3 ep.7- The Bear and The Maiden Fair.
The one where it looks like nobody will get what they want. With cameos from Dragons, a bear and a big awww moment. And Jaime Lannister comes out tops. We are now at an impasse proper in the series but this felt like the calm before the storm. Nothing much happened but as always there…

GoT. season 3 ep.6- The Climb.
The one where something happens, then nothing happens, the something happens and all kinds of Tom Cruise-esque drama! I suppose we have hit the middle-ground in the series where a whole bunch of nothing happens to fill in the gaps whilst we wait for the action to resume. But the thing about Game of Thrones…

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
I rarely set much store by dialogue in a novel because for me, a good book is firstly determined by the depth of its characters and the quality of the story, before anything else comes into play. However, Something About You highlighted just what dialogue can do to a story. Its a power of elevation.…
