#Shelfie 5

Had a bit of a clear out and re-organisation of my bookshelf today. However this does not stop me buying more books than I have time to read! Sometimes I just cannot help myself...

Review:
I was not sure what I was expecting when I was persuaded to start reading this series but I did not think it was going to be as good as it actually is.

It is awesome and it is easy to see why it has become so popular.

Review: 
I decided to read this book after my best-friend raved about it constantly. However, I was not impressed with her taste in books (which is usually impeccable) this time as I had two major issues with it...

Too many books, not enough time!

But thanks to my friend who's buggering off to California next year, I now have the complete A Song of Ice and Fire series! Awesome.
