The Winds of Westeros

I am a voracious reader.

For those of you who know me, you know that I can go to Chapters or the library and spend countless hours (and money) purchasing books. I love to read all sorts of genres. However, the main one I like to read is the medieval, fantasy genre.

Anything to do with myth, magic, dragons and danger is something that has always fascinated me. I took a lot of English Literature courses during my four year tenure at university. My favourite ones were Medieval Folklore and Legend, Chaucer and his works and Medieval Fantasy.

I first became acquainted with "A Song of Ice and Fire: A Game of Thrones" in the late 1990s. It would be a decade before I read the first book in the series. From that moment on, I became a dedicated fan of George R. R. Martin.

Then, the impossible was brought to life: HBO decided to take on the complex books and produce it into a 10 part series. You have NO idea what that did to me as a fan and as an avid sci-fi geek!

Can we say, "fandimonioum?"

And so, having a lot of time off to think, read and analyze, I decided to create a blog specifically for Game of Thrones. This blog will be dedicated to my musings, ramblings and commentary on the books, the HBO series and the characters.

I have two ladies to thank for this: Daniela and Julia. Thank you!
