[Poll #1761526]I bought 5 books on my kindle today! A Song of Fire and Ice books 1-4 boxed set for $30 and The Hunger Games for $5. SO EXCITED! I read the first 2 books of the Sookie Stackhouse books. I feel kind of meh about them? I mean, Sookie gets beaten up a bit too much and I always feel awkward reading sex scenes, and some of the stuff is kind of weird. But I have the first 12 books on my kindle so I'll probably keep reading. I love how it took me a really long time to reach my reading goal of 85 last month and in just 13 days I'm TWO books away from my monthly goal of 100. Less computer time really does wonders for my reading.

A Song of Ice and Fire is fantastic, I'm reading the fourth book right now.

I started the first Sookie Stackhouse book last year, but I got about halfway through and just didn't feel interested enough to finish it. The sex scenes were definitely super awkward.

Sansa ♥

I'm on the third book (1/2 way through). I've heard a lot of talk about the Red Wedding and I'm not there yet. I have a feeling something awful is going to happen...

Did you watch the show?

Oh, the Red Wedding. Well, it's certainly not unicorns and rainbows.

Yup! That's how I started reading the books.

There is a graphic out there where someone took the Dances with Dragons cover and changed the words from "Dances with Dragons" to "Everybody Dies." GRRM is such a troll lol (http://www.thatwasnotveryravenofyou.com/post/7286834372/grrm-you-troll-you) (Not a spoiler for DwD by the way - just a comment on the way he kills of characters).

Me too. TBQH I didn't like Sansa in the show. The books turned me around on that.

IDK, either Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw, I put Hufflepuff because you're loyal and awesome, but with all the books you read and that awesome you could also be in Ravenclaw! ;)

Oooh The Hunger Games, love those, enjoy, I'll be eager to hear your thoughts! And yeah, the SS aren't great literature, but still entertaining and fun, and I think they get a bit better after #2 (though now they seem to be declining in quality again, sadly). Heh, I'd be wary of SOFAI then, there are lots of sex scenes it would seem in that one as well, judging from the HBO show (which apparently included mostly scenes that are actually in the books). :/

Aww, thanks bb!

Did you like the show? I was thinking of checking it out.

I chose Hufflepuff, but I think you're a mix of Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Gryffindor (although a bit more of Hufflepuff in there than anything else, thus my decision). So, um, you're a Huffinclaw? XD

Hey Jennifer! How are you doing? Still planning to go and see HPDH2 with your friend?

Hee, I'm SUCH a Ravenpuff in most of these memes/quizzes/sorting things that I was curious which of the 2 my flist would put me in! Looks like it's tied so far, with the other houses getting nothing. What house do you think you would be in? I see Ravenclaw for you :)

Oh, I'm definitely a Ravenclaw. I have a touch of Gryffindor and a fair bit of Hufflepuff, but mostly Ravenclaw. Minus the clever part. I would be the Ravenclaw waiting hours outside the portrait because I couldn't answer the riddle. =P

And hi, Soph! I'm doing well! And yep, I'm going to the midnight release tomorrow. I've gone CRAZY on their asses, demanding that they all get there NO LATER than seven (and that's already pushing it!! It's really unfortunate hat we all work D=). Will you be able to see it?

Yep! Going on Sunday with this girl I met who lives nearby.

Yikes! I don['t think I'd be able to handle a midnight showing and I don't even work!

LMFAO I know. I'm so bad at riddles. I'd be all, "Can we stick to What has four legs in the morning, 2 legs in the afternoon, and 3 legs in the evening, please? Because I can do that!"

Ooh, The Hunger Games! My copy finally came yesterday, so I'm going to read it as soon as I'm done with the book I'm currently reading. I can't wait!

Being home from school does wonders for my reading, haha. :)

I say Hufflepuff because I think in general the people at HiH sort pretty accurately...but I can see why you got some Ravenclaw votes.

I need to read A Song of Fire and Ice still. I've only heard good things about the series. And I love the Hunger Games. Kindle <3

OMG i'm the only gryff so far!??! such a privilege :'D

I'm reading A Song of Ice and Fire and enjoy it so far! Let me know how you like it.

Didn't answer the poll, cause I'm afraid I don't know you well enough to really judge yet and otherwise I would vote off of how HiH sorted you. It's definitely interesting to see how your friends would sort you though!

I like the Sookie books, but they've also gotten kind of old to me? But I liked the middle ones the best, I think!

I voted for Ravenclaw, but I figure most of us have several different House traits in us. :)

I put puff b/c that's the house i associate you with the most

I need to charge up my shitty e-reader

Finally, I can't help but feel i missed my calling of writing trashy chicklit full of awkward sex scenes

Your poll needs a "I don't know enough about Harry Potter to answer this" option :P

Sookie Stackhouse books are meh. I've read them all but that's mainly because the boxed set of the first 8 went on sale last summer and I thought "Why not?" I'll read them but they certainly aren't my favorites.

I kept wanting to call it A Song of Fire and Ice too (it's actually A Song of Ice and Fire)! I'm really enjoying those books. I hope you do too!

The Hunger Games are also on my "to-read" list. Let me know what you think of them.

It's me, just not logged in :D

Hufflepuffs are loyal friends and hard workers
Ravenclaws are clever and creative
Gryffindors are brave (and a bit reckless)
Slytherins are cunning and loyal mostly to their own house and family members, and not much else LOL

Sagittarians belong in Gryffindor. :)

I agree about the Sookie Stackhouse series. Parts are really awkward to read, but overall they're pretty good.

I voted for Ravenclaw, though I definitely think that your partly Hufflepuff too :).

I tried to read the Sookie Stackhouse series last year, but I didn't even finish the first book. There was something that put me off, though I can;t quite figure out what. I'm thinking about trying them again in the future, but I always keep finding something better to read, lol.
