Throwback Thursday Review: A Game of Thrones by George RR Martin

The Throwback Thursday review is where I take a book I recently reread and review it with new eyes. It could be a book I’m reading for the second, third, fourth or millionth time. Some books haven’t been read in years so its fun to throwback and see if my opinion has changed!

This week’s book is Game of Thrones. I originally read the book years ago when I first started watching the show back in 2011. I didn’t particularly love them, I’ve always loved the show more but after the disappointment of the final season, I felt like maybe the books could provide me some comfort. Especially if GRRM actually finishes the series…

Please keep in mind that Throwback Thursday reviews are based on reread books. They most likely will contain spoilers as the books have already been released for some time. This is your only warning if you want to avoid spoilers for these books.

Music Monday is a weekly post where you can share a song, a music video or anything musical related that you’re feeling awesome about that week. Here on What A Nerd Girl Says, I will almost always share a song that I’m super into that week and the music video, if any, that goes with it!

I honestly have been listening to the same playlist over and over again for the past few weeks so I decided to do a throwback music Monday to a song that has been a favorite of mine since I first heard it at maybe…14 or 15 years old and remains one of my favorites.

Event Recap and Review – Adventures in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge for the Dedication Ceremony!

If you’ve been living under a rock or simply don’t live in California so your entire world doesn’t revolve around the Disneyland Resort, then you may not know that the newest addition to the park – Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge – has officially opened as of this past Friday.

I’ve been excited about this for FOUR years now, since the announcement that there would be a Star Wars themed land. The closer it got though, the more that it just seemed like it wouldn’t be in the cards for me though. I unfortunately haven’t been able to afford an annual pass in quite some time, and a day ticket is a lot for me. I was counting down the days until opening but I had a feeling that I would not be there.
