We did it! We've reached the end of A Feast for Crows and we are almost done with the combo read as a whole. We leave Samwell in a good place? Arya sees the light, see what I did there? See what I did there a second time!? Theon is trying to blend in with the ghosts of the dead and Tyrion finds his way back to his roots when he used to do tumbling as a kid. And who could forget Jaime, he's torn between helping his sister and being a good person. Chapters! (spoilers for character names) Samwell V...

As we are less than 50 days away from the new season we've taken a hard look at the schedule and decided to try our best to finish the book club before the next season begins. From that point on, its all new Game of Thrones goodness. This week though, we take a journey down with sweet Robyn, deal with the aristocrats with Jon, and deal with some BS with Jaime. Also this week, Cersie's house of cards finally crumbles in the most spectacular way. And is this the end for Brienne!? You'll have to tu...

I'm just going to say it…this episode gets a bit out of hand. In what can only be described as a momentary lapse in sanity, this episode really goes places. Anyway…this week we check in at the wall, go on a short cruise with Tyrion, find out what really happened to Asha after her ambush, and get real with Dany's ummm passion side. Nope still sounds gross, I tried to save it. Chapters! (spoilers for character names) Jon VIII: ADWD 40 Tyrion IX: ADWD 41 The Turncloak (Theon V): ADWD 42 The King’s ...

This my friends, was a fun episode to make. We have the very last Bran chapter in existence and thats a bit sad, because its so early in the book, but that brings with it some amazing revelations. Theon has to pretend to be something he's not, he'll always be our Reek, because it rhymes with creek. Daenerys gets freak on, and we check in Jon. All in all, a great set of chapters. Chapters!
