Review: A Song of Ice and Fire 4-copy bundle

A Song of Ice and Fire 4-copy bundle by George R.R. Martin

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Brilliant!
Only four books into the series of seven, but they are the best I have read in the fantasy genre. I do hope he finishes the series in the next few years(he does not look too healthy). Really looking forward to reading A Dance With Dragons in 2013.

Not the type that holds fences vertical.

I will unfortunately be unable to make any posts for a few weeks as I lack Internet(just moved house), but I will be sure to have a bunch ready for when I am in digital connection with the world again.

Until then you can wait in expectation, or not.

Home cooked food.

I am referring to the food that your mom cooked when you were a child. One of my favourite foods as a child was homemade mac'n'cheese, and have found myself making it at least once a month. I make it similar to how my mom did most of the time, but sometimes I feel adventurous and add other ingredients like broccoli, tomatoes, different cheeses(strong/old cheddar, need to try other types though) or mushrooms. Each ingredient adds its own dimension to the mac'n'cheese and gives it a warming, comforting feeling. Another favourite homemade meal is beef stew with dumplings, and now that winter has arrived I have been making this for myself a couple times a month.

What are some of your favourite comforting home cooked foods from childhood?

Cold beer on a hot day.

A rather nice way to reward yourself after a hard days work, especially if you work outside during the summer, is coming home and enjoying a cold beer on a patio or deck.

Warm towels.

I do believe that one of the greatest feelings, is having a warm towel available when you finish bathing. It can get its warmth from being on a radiator or just come from the dryer, no matter how it's warm, it's a fantastic feeling drying yourself with it.

First listen of a new album from one of your favourite bands.

What I love about this is when you buy the album new, and have the artwork and lyrics. I enjoy listening and following the songs lyrics throughout the progression of the album.

Fresh bedsheets.

I love the first nights sleep on freshly fitted bedsheets. I think everyone knows the feeling of getting into bed and not feeling any bunched up fitted sheet against your back, and the smell from the laundry detergent. I believe I have my best nights sleep when there are fresh sheets on the bed.
