Title: A Storm of Swords 1: Steel and Snow
Author: George R. R. Martin
Publisher: Harper Voyager
Release Date: 1st September 2011
Genre: Dark Fantasy

Summary:
The Kingdom of Westeros has never been more divided. The Starks commanding the rebellion in the North and the Lannisters crippling the South with their greed and pursuit for even more power.

However, shadows are creeping in from all directions threatening the two pursuits for the Iron Throne.

Review:
Finally, I built up the stamina to take on the next book in the Ice and Fire series and, it was much the same as the other books in the series.

The Bookshelf Rules

I love my bookshelf, and needless to say, I am quite protective over it. So much so that when people borrow my books, I have a set of rules which I enforce in a deadly serious tone.

So, the rules to Emily's bookshelf are below...

1. Do not borrow my books without my permission
This one is quite a simple one really. Borrowing without permission is called stealing. Stealing is illegal. Do not do it. I will notice that one of my precious books is gone, and I will find you and I will hunt you done and kill you. Simples.

2. Do not fold the corners over
Use a bookmark. It is what they were made for. Duh!

Publisher: Image Comics
Release Date: 19th May 2009
Genre: Horror, Comics

Summary:
Collect issue #49 - 96 of the popular comic series The Walking
Dead. I could not resist...

Review:
After I read the first compendium of this series (you can read my review here), I have been dying to sink my teeth into the next batch of comics in this series!

I may have just used loads of zombie-related puns but words cannot describe how good these comics are! Once you get into the story line and the format of reading comics, you just want more and more and it will take you no time at all to get through the 1,068 pages of gore, horror and grizzly deaths.
