we're all mad here
Have I become an audiobook person?? No, absolutely not, don’t get your hopes up. I didn’t hate listening to LOTR, though I don’t think I would have managed it without Andy Serkis narrating it. And while I truly have no desire to become an audiobook person because I have so much trouble focusing, and I…

Oh, y’all, I am so ready for this post. I actually just got a tiny bit ranty in someone’s comments about how done I am with GRRM, but I don’t think I ever did an official “I hate this man goodbye to literally everything he’s ever written”, so here we are! Let’s get one thing…
