Feature & Feature #9




I am trying to increase my readership and gain new followers, so I have signed up for this meme, hosted by Parajunkee’s View and Alison Can Read. Visit either of their posts to see who else is taking part.

I would especially appreciate 'likes' for my Facebook Page.





Activity: What is the first thing you would do if you woke up to find yourself in your favorite book?

That is a very difficult question for me to answer because my favorite book at the moment is George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series. This presents me with the problem of deciding where and when to appear . . . Do I want to see the Wall or Deanerys’ dragons? Do I want to give Joffrey a well-deserved slapping or poke Cersei in the eye? Do I want to ask Maester Aemon all about his wonderful life or do I simply want to see if Ghost would let me stroke him? So many choices . . .

I would really like to appear very early in A Game of Thrones at the inn at the Crossroads. This might seem like a very unusual place to choose, but I would try to prevent Catelyn Stark’s arrest of Tyrion Lannister. Now, the Mighty Tyrion is possibly my favorite character of all time, but that is not my reason for trying to keep him free. I think that this action marks the point of no return for almost all the horrible things that happen in the rest of the series. If only these two characters had not met in the inn then there would be a very good chance that many, many people would not have to die or suffer as they do in the remainder of the series.

  1. Wouldn't that be scary?? I've never read the books but I have a little bit of idea...according to what my friends tell me :)

    Old follower! Here's my FF for the week.

    Have a happy weekend :)

    1. I'm sure that I could appeal to Tyrion's better side by treating him with some respect, and he is very fierce in protecting his friends, so I wouldn't feel too scared. Plus I could persuade to hire Bronn to keep us safe on the road south to King's Landing . . . I have it all worked out . . . is that scary or impressive? :D

  4. I picked this too, well among a few others. It would be a pretty tricky book world to navigate!

    1. There is certainly a lot of different areas to chose from, and it does seem like an awfully big world! :)

  5. I totally agree that if Catelyn hadn't arrested Tyrion, a lot of bad things could have been avoided... but they're good books (and a good TV Show), so there has to be some kind of conflict! lol
    Tyrion and Arya are my favorite characters from Game of Thrones.
    Great post!

    1. I'm sure that there would still be plenty of conflict even if this event hadn't happened, but perhaps the Starks wouldn't have had such a rough time though . . . I suppose I really should have gone back to stop Bran being pushed out of that window, or even further back to find out who Jon Snow's parents are . . . so many options that I think my head might explode! :D

  6. Oh man, I haven't attacked the beast that is Game of Thrones, but from watching the tv show I'd like to be friends with Arya and hang out with Tyrion.

    1. If you like the TV show then you will love the books: HBO has done a superb job and produced one of the best adaptations ever, in my opinion, but the books are still better . . . and they have fewer naked prostitutes! :D

  7. Can I join you in slapping Joffrey and poking Cersei? Too very irritating characters! I love your idea about Catelyn's arrest of Tyrion...I never actually thought of it that way, but you are right. Old follower.

    Happy Friday!

  19. Thanks for stopping by my blog, followed you back. I liked your facebook page, too. BTW, likes only count when made with personal accounts, not pages. It's something I just found out.

    I haven't read ASOIF yet. I have a policy where I won't read epic fantasy like that until it is FINISHED.
