I think that's an awesome idea. <br /><br />I am currently on Book 3 of the Game of Thrones series. I saw the first season of the tv show and then started reading the books. They are each close to 1000 pages but they are AWESOME. I really didn't think I'd get this into a fantasy series!Lauriehttp://www.laurieappleby.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132521194361824092.post-74021458988234760462012-09-21T10:52:38.603-04:002012-09-21T10:52:38.603-04:00Did you catch the final episode of Weeds?

I watch them even if people say they didn't like them, and sometimes I like them myself. <br /><br />Thanks for the book suggestions.
