After I finished the Sookie Stackhouse Series I read some old books while trying to decide what I should embark upon next... I bought and read "The Sound of Music" the autobiography of the real Maria Von Trapp. As a music teacher I really enjoyed it. There are some interesting historical points in the books I wasn't aware of. There were some great quotes I'll pull out sometime. I also bought the autobiography written by the eldest daughter Augusta Von Trapp, but I haven't read it yet.
I kind of went on a binge of reading books I already had. When Borders was going out of business Paul and I went kind of book crazy... We purchased several books. During the sale I decided I would buy him the Game of Thrones series that he was talking about. As I didn't have anything to read at the time I picked up the first book instead...
I really liked it! I like his writing style. It is similar to Tolkein, only not QUITE as descriptive, which I prefer. I read the first and second and I am currently reading the third book. I am definitely liking this series.
I took a break in the middle of the second book because I accidently looked up something I didn't want to know (main characters dying), and read The Hunger Games Trilogy in a few days. I'll let you know about the third book once it's done!
