Sometimes for the fun of it, I like to set up tasks for myself – especially ones that will intimidate me. Like in January I decided to write about Murakami and Tolkien – the two authors who practically have courses and workshops dedicated to studying their literature.

Continuing the trend, this month I am talking about another one of my favourites – one whose books and subsequent TV series practically defined almost a decade of my life.

From nearly throwing the book at a wall (this actually happened!), to risking a visit from HR for discussing the latest episode (and all the violence) on internal company chats, I think I have done it all.

And so, without further ado, announcing my blog series on A Song of Ice and Fire – I do prefer that name to Game of Thrones.

What can you expect to see:

1. On my blog, a series of posts discussing:
   
   • My introduction to and fascination with A Song of Ice and Fire
   • My honest view of the HBO series
   • George RR Martin’s supporting literature to ASOIAF
     
     
2. If you follow me on Instagram :
   
   • A few reels from the Game of Thrones Live in Concert (because Ramin Dwajdi is basically a legend and to see him play live was literally the best thing that happened to me that year!)
     
   • A load of content dump of my GoT shelves
     
   • Some TBT photos of my trip to the ACTUAL land of Ice and Fire – also otherwise known as Iceland 🙂
     
     

So, let’s take a walk in Westeros shall we?
