I've already seen the first two series of game of thrones and the first hunger games movie, and I really really enjoyed them both. I told myself multiple times that I would read the books as I am a aware that reading these stories is a completely different experience to watching them on the telly. Plus, my bestie wouldn't stop raving about them all. A funny story actually: she kept telling me to look at the books written by George R.R. Martin and each time, i would say 'Georgio Armani? I didn't know you were into high end fashion'. I went shopping with the intention of purchasing one book (maximum two), however when I spotted the complete hunger games series, in a charity shop, for just £2 each (RRP £7.99), I simply couldn't resist. Also, a game of thrones was the book I was most looking forward to, so I had to get that and there was an offer at WHSmith to buy one, get one half price... And that is the story as to why I returned home yesterday, with aching arms and five books - two of which are 2 inches thick each. It was definitely worth it as, despite only having read the first 20 pages, I am completely hooked to 'A game of thrones', by George R.R. Martin. I am absolutely in love this book; the way it is written is extraordinary and I love the little maps in the front where you can look up all the places that are mentioned. Just between you and me, me reading these is also going to aid the conversation between me and a certain boy I know... shhhhh.
