Book Review: A Game Of Thrones

After finishing all the books I decided to go back and do a reread, to catch all those little things I know I missed the first time around.  You know, read the series a little more deeply

.
'A Game of Thrones' does what the beginning of a series ought to do, it grabs your attentions, hooks your interest and refuses to let go of it.  It is not my favourite if the series by any means but that does not diminish how well written it is.

One can really get drawn into a deep emotional bond with these characters whether you like them or not.  So there are parts of this book that hit a person really hard.

Podcast of The Week: The Very Serious Crafts Podcast

Image
I just recently got into listening to podcasts and like anything that I get into I am obsessed.  It has only been a couple of days but I have hankered down and listened to so much.  The first on what is becoming a long list of favourites is  The Very Serious Crafts Podcast   I heard about this podcast ages ago because I have been a follower of  Red Handled Scissors  for quite awhile and Haley of course has mentioned it.  So as soon as I finally downloaded a podcast app it was one of the first ones that I looked for and it has been my first podcast binge. While I had not been exposed to the other two contributors in this podcast prior to listening, Mollie of  Wild Olive  and Heidi of  Hands Occupied  I am quickly becoming a huge fan of both.  While I myself am not a very serious crafter reading about other peoples crafting has always been helpful for getting my own creative ideas flowing.   Turns out that listening to other people discuss crafts, their processes, new gadgets etc is a hu
