For today’s participation post, we’re suppose to share a quote from our current read or a book that pulled on our heart strings. I’m going to share two quotes from George RR Martin’s books. The first is from A Game of Thrones and the second is A Clash of Kings. Why GRR Martin? I get to meet up with him next month and I’m in Martin mood.
Since the font is a little difficult to read: The kingdom bleeds, and no one lifts a sword to defend it but my son. -Catelyn Stark
What’s a quote from your current read or general favorite?
Today’s challenge is book spine poetry! These always remind me that I need more “cheerful” books. So I ahem present you with my dark masterpiece.
The Ashford Affair
A stranger in Mayfair
The Prince
First blood
Thoughtless, effortless, easy
A taste for scandal
The affairs of others
The mystery woman, the wife, the maid, and the mistress
The river of no return
Let me go
The last duel
Kill you twice
A death in the small hours
Gone girl

I have to admit that I haven’t read the GRRM’s books but I have watched a few of the episodes of the TV adaptation. The first quote really gets me because… Oh my the LANNISTERS. 🙁 Whyyyy GRRM must you do this to your fans?!
I liked your poem! Dark, dangerous, but really fitting with the theme of the poem.

OMG. You will meet the GRRM!? I am so jelly and happy for you! I love that you presented your awesome graphic design ability with the quotes. That first is especially sad. I loved your poem too! Sounds like royal infidelity to me….lol

I so want to read The A Song of Fire and Ice series, but the books are just so huge. Maybe I should just get over my intimidation and read them haha! I love your poem, it’s way longer than I would be able to manage. Great job!

Woah, that poem was really good! It even told a story – dark, but really cool. Nice job!

Your poem flows so well. I love it 🙂 You used way more books than I did, which is cool.
