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.

The Nineties

So here it is my list of my favorite things from the 1990's.  Enjoy! The movie Mermaids was released, this may be one of my most loved movies of the nineties. Starring Cher and Winona Ryder it has a great cast and it actually deals with issues which a lot of movies today don't.     My favorite thing from 1991 was the release of Nirvana's Nevermind.  This album continues to be one of my staples for listening to and without it so much of the music I know and love today just wouldn't exist.   So, being Canadian and all my 1992 is naturally devoted to the Toronto Blue Jays winning the World Series.  This was a huge deal being that there were so many firsts involved in it, first world series game played outside the United States, first non American team to win the world series.  Then they did it again.  GO JAYS GO!  Seriously, living in Toronto in the early '90's you would have thought people around here liked baseball or something
