game of thrones!

another boyfriend recommendation, though i've been a fan of the show since the beginning. was a little intimidated by the books' length when i was younger (forgive me, the show started when i was in middle school), but as soon i cracked this open it reminded me of how magical it felt to fall in love with westeros all those years ago and honestly invested me even more in this epic story. i don't think i've ever read writing like martin's and i don't know how he began to make this fictional setting feel so startlingly real and like an actual historical account - just endlessly intoxicating prose. wish so badly i had even a fraction of his talent but being able to read it is enough to be grateful for.
