Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted here, at Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read.
So, I think mine might be an obvious choice to be honest! But I CAN NOT WAIT MUCH LONGER FOR…..
The blurb on Goodreads at the
The Winds of Winter is the forthcoming sixth novel in the epic fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin. The previous installment, A Dance with Dragons, covered less story than Martin intended, omitting at least one planned large battle sequence and leaving several character threads ending in cliffhangers. Martin intends to resolve these cliffhangers “very early” in The Winds of Winter, saying “I’m going to open with the two big battles that I was building up to, the battle in the ice and the battle at Meereen—the battle of Slaver’s Bay. And then take it from there.”
I read the last book A Dance with Dragons 6 YEARS AGO in December on my honeymoon! I mean seriously, the promises of the release have been too much, I can’t cope! There is still no official date on the new book and even the expected date on Goodreads has disappeared!!! I think it is expected for 2019, I hope so, and then it is goodbye to everyone whilst I read it! I adore the books, so much information to take in, the detail, the world and the plot is just magical.
The TV show is now ahead of the book, with many changes. These said changes have made Mr Martin also decide he is going to change the ending of this series! I hope the book is released soon before I get too many more grey hairs!
I will leave you with this!
Until next time xx

Hmm he is a great author so I may have to look into this series
Zoe says
I love his writing! I have not read his other series but the GOT ones are amazing!
noveldeelights says
It’s never going to be published ?
Zoe says
Why do you have to be a meanie pants! It will get published….I am waiting (im)patiently lol
Drew @ The Tattooed Book Geek says
Lol!??? I did a Waiting on Wednesday post for this about two years ago!? Still waiting!? I read it when it was first released too, ages ago.????
Zoe says
It is a joke isn’t it! I am fed up (Sorry Mr Martin if you read this DO NOT kill a Stark lol) He won’t finish the series on purpose I reckon
Drew @ The Tattooed Book Geek says
It is, I think the worst thing is that he stated that it was originally intended to be a trilogy and well, here we now are with years between the books! 🙁 Have you read Rothfuss? He is the same, the first two books are out and it’s been near a decade waiting for the last in the trilogy too! lol
Zoe says
I know and the show is ahead of the books! I mean I know the show producers know how it will end, so they could potentially finish them, but now GRRM has decided he is changing his books slightly to fit in with the show urgh! No I was going to check them out at some point. But after that I might wait! lol

My question is, did you do it?
Zoe says
What ask when it will be released? I dare not risk it lol
likeherdingcatsblog says
No. I was trying to comment on your reading challenge by tomorrow. I must have scrolled to far ??
Zoe says
??? oh I have one novella left ? nearly done I read 5 yesterday
likeherdingcatsblog says
No way!!!
I’m really into Lost Lives but I can’t settle down when the kids are off. I miss being able to spend whole days reading.
I’m trying audio books so I can get through more books and we can still have ironed clothes ???
Zoe says
I know me too! I manage to get some reading in when the little one is busy playing babies lol.
I love audiobooks I use to have a 2 hour commute to work so they were perfect! I only have a 20 mins one now but still listen lol xx
likeherdingcatsblog says
Im looking forward to trying it out. I chose a tour book i have a copy of in case I struggle to listen.
Zoe says
That’s not a bad idea! I might start to do that if I think I might not get to it in time or to get ahead if it’s out lol
likeherdingcatsblog says
I’m booked solid so even if I just do one or two a month it’s extra reviews or an extra tour done whilst doing housework.
If you own a book on Kindle you can upgrade to audible for 2.99 so I thought I could work through my pre reviewing back catalogue.
And, classics are free so I can expand my choices.
I’m doing a blog post on this when I get the chance
Zoe says
Yeah I have audible love it. That’s not bad though paying the extra to get the audible.
I’m thinking of doing that! I want to reread some of them!
likeherdingcatsblog says
Yeah I like it. They’re expensive so I’ll probably use my credit then buy maybe one more a month or convert a few I’ve already got.
Zoe says
Yeah I know! I use my credit sometimes it’s hard to wait! But I treated myself awhile ago to 3 credits so always have books now waiting lol x
