May 2012:

23. Afterwards by Rosamund Lupton - As I’m writing this, I have to remember what it was about. I guess that’s not a good sign? But going back, I think there was a fire and maybe a mom who had an out of body experience? It was weird but I think it was ok.

24. A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin - Took me FOREVER but I get it now! I do! To quote Ben Wyatt from Parks and Rec, “It’s a crossover hit. It’s not just for fantasy enthusiasts, they’re telling human stories in a fantasy world.” I don’t know if I’ll read the other books, but I’m almost finished with the season 1 of the show. Another thing I love is how random people on the train would comment on it and ask how the book was going. The only other book that’s caused a similar reaction from strangers was Lonesome Dove.
