Here you will find a lot of: Game of Thrones, A song of ice and fire, Lord of the Rings, Kate Austen and Harry Potter. And quite a few penguins too. See the tags for more.

Currently reading ASOIAF and shunning spoilers like the plague.

To us she appears inconsistent – religious yet aggressive, calculating yet emotional, with the light touch of the courtier yet the strong grip of the politician… A woman in her own right – taken on her own terms in a man’s world; a woman who mobilized her education, her style and her presence to outweigh the disadvantages of her sex; of only moderate good looks, but taking a court and a king by storm. Perhaps, in the end, it is Thomas Cromwell’s assessment that comes nearest: intelligence, spirit and courage. - Eric Ives, The Life and Death of Anne Boleyn
