If you have been following the HBO series Game of Thrones and groaned when you found out that you will have to wait until Spring to find out what happens to the Starks, the Lannisters, Daenerys Targaryen and Joffrey Baratheon, you could cheat and read the “Song of Ice and Fire” series by George R.R. Martin:
A Game of Thrones bk 1
A Clash of Kings bk 2
A Storm of Swords bk 3
A Feast of Crows bk 4
A Dance with Dragons bk 5
It just might make the wait a little easier.
