Yes! I remember wanting to punch book Claire a few times through books 1-3, but after that I love her much more. I just started 6 though, so there’s time for her to get punchable again, I guess.

It was a very beautifully done battle scene.

I agree with you on Arya’s overall story arc, but I am unsatisfied with how easily she let the Waif get to her to begin with. And I wanted to see her kill that bitch, in full light. Hopefully we get to see her, with her new found resolution in herself, find the Hound, Jon and Sansa, or for god’s sake please Nymeria.…

I actually am fine with the Arya story arc overall (issues of identity, finally shedding this “a girl is no one bullshit,” etc.) but what does not make sense whatsoever is how easily she let the Waif get to her, just lollygagging around Braavos, waiting to be stabbed. She was pretty kick ass before she even got to the…

I agree with every single one of these points.

Paradoxically, I agree with you that they are both the worst, but I DID cheer at, “I choose violence.” It is the only thing Cersei has ever said that I cheered. I still want her to die, but after she hopefully takes care of the faith militant.

My feelings are blind, unfocused pain, fear, and anger. No one is going to do anything to fix this. Wayne Lapierre should go to jail. I am a straight lady but have LGBTQ family, some in Florida, but that’s beside the goddamn point. I’m a human being and only monsters are not deeply disturbed by this and the fact that…

Florida in August. August cannot come fast enough. It’s visiting family, which comes with its own pitfalls and issues, but I NEED a vacation like yesterday, so I’ll take what I have!

I have the same situation with my mom about my dad! They have serious issues and have been miserably limping along for decades. She did leave but ended up coming back for a number of mostly financial reasons. I got way more involved than I ever should have about 20 years ago and it led to anxiety and nothing good for…

Every time this motherfucker uses the term sexual promiscuity in this context, he should get an electric shock in his scrotum.

There are tears in my eyes from laughing at this. Thank you.

I’m sure there are some white feminists (and others) screaming exactly that, but honest to Jesus, I would never try to convince anyone to vote for her because she’s a woman. Full disclosure: I do support her and did support her over Bernie, and I think this is exciting and historic. However, I generally leave people…

I feel like they’ve been careful because any support for Hillary is instantly jumped upon by the Bernie supporters as OMG SHILLING FOR SHILLARY.

I haven’t found much to be emotional (well...except for anger) about in this godawful race, but today I’m letting the feelings wash over me, and basking in the historical moment.

I’d say on balance worth it in that I think you know the characters a little better than you can from the show alone, as well as some nice additional plot points they can’t entirely fit in. I do feel most of the ones I’ve read (I just finished book 5) could have been edited WAY down . There were times when I put the…

Ugh, my stomach hurts thinking about the ugly crying to come. No, it makes no sense when you know it’s coming, but I will anyway.

YAS! I came to say that. Her putting up that silencing hand with her bad bitch face made me fist pump.

My heart broke in a million pieces yesterday reading her letter, and now this awfulness has set those pieces on fire and sent me into a rage stroke of epic proportions. How? How?! How do you live with yourselves, you entitled douches?

Wait. Where do I sign up for this career? I’d 100% take someone’s money to tell them to get earplugs and go back to sleep when they text me at 3 am.
