“All these kings would do a great deal better if they put down their swords and listened to their mothers”

if only this diva could have met catelyn stark i feel like they would’ve had so much fun gossiping together

libby has finally delivered the 3rd book to me 🙌🙌 how i have missed my close personal friend Roy Dotrice

i have 20 days to listen to 47h of audiobook else i shall face the wrath of the waitlist once again…………….

listening to the audiobook is my fave part of my morning

the end of chap 17 is perfect i can feel the desperation

i wondered if i fucked it up. but if i hadn’t done it, i’s have wondered something else. life is a series of choices between wonders

you can’t ever know someone else’s hurt, not really. just like touching someone else’s body isn’t the same as having someone else’s body

i felt the need to board up the windows of my self

“Everyone seemed to assume I knew what the hell a tuatara was”

my exact thoughts while reading this section 😭

“My stomach was kind of churning, but I couldn’t tell why. I never understood my body. Was it scared or excited?”

“The things that make other people nervous never scared me. I’m not afraid of men in golf carts or horror movies or roller coasters. I didn’t know precisely what I was afraid of, but it wasn’t this”

“ i imagine you could guess the answer easily enough since you are sitting comfortably at home and not in danger of being eaten”

i love the way tolkien adresses the audience directly

bilbo is SO FUNNY why is he being so smug towards a nasty little creature who wants to eat him but couldn’t tell a random dwarf on his doorstep to go away earlier

me thinking to myself “wow this narrator does a really accurate gollum impression”

- an evil creature shows up and kidnaps the gang
- gandalf shows up and saves them
- they keep walking
- an evil creature shows up and kidnaps the gang

can’t wait to see this happen 50 more times

waking before break of day (work starts at 6) to go on my dangerous journey (driving on the 407) and retrieve my treasure (minimum wage paycheque) i’m just like these dwarves fr

yeah i’ve got the andy serkis audiobook (bragging) ((you should be jealous you don’t have the andy serkis audiobook))

“‘I am saved,’ Theon thought. “To think how close I came to yielding, and taking the black,”
NOOOOOOOO THEON

mans makes the wrong choice every time there is a choice to make. my guy hasn’t made a good decision in his LIFE. they don’t make braincells on the iron islands

“ ‘if i die, i die friendless and abandoned,’ he thought. what choice did that give him, but to live?”

theon chapters continuing to be my favourite

yeah i got the emily wilson translation 😛😛😛

Home is not the house—“putting down roots.” If you yourself are rooted, you can plant yourself anywhere and grow.

holy shit this woman’s husband HATES HER

this story is supposed to be funny??

oh this woman’s husband hates her

theon interacting with Reek 1.0 ………….. scary #imscared

who was he before?? did i miss that detail?? i wanna google it but idk if its a spoiler

why is everyone saying ramsey is dead…… i don’t believe them……. what is he plotting… #imscared

love that grrm tells us what kind of spiced wine is the lord commander’s favourite. i’m sure it’ll be important later

“a sudden gust of wind made him fall to his knees, and Asha helped him rise. Theon leaned on her shoulder, and let her guide him across the rain-slick boards”

the foreshadowing i’m gonna cry :((((

theon and asha’s reunion is so funny wdym you remember your sister having a big nose and boyish figure then when you come home after ten years away you immediately flirt with a woman who has a big nose and boyish figure…… theon baby let’s reflect

i like that Gilly actively wants to escape her situation

lowkey makes me mad they changed that in the show, i feel like they didn’t want Jon to look like a bad guy for not helping her.

“is there any creature as unfortunate as an ugly woman?”

REEK MENTION???? HOW????

the concept of a series of Reeks somehow makes everything that happens later even more terrifying ☹️
