Still reading Game of Thrones. I am finding the way he switches back and forth between characters to be frustrating. Like, something is about to happen, then the chapter ends, and there are 4 chapters about other characters before he gets back to the thing that was happening. The whole thing feels like it's moving in slow motion, and I think that's why. I really want to finish it, but my ADHD is putting up a fight, lol.
I also got my copy of Fantastic Beasts (the screenplay) from Amazon, and I couldn't wait to read it, so I'm switching back and forth between that, GoT, and a true crime book I started this week. (Did I mention I have ADHD?)
The switching back and forth was a momentum/interest killer until well over half way through the book. That said when the ball finally got rolling it got real good.
It's been years since the first time I read it so my estimate may be off (I have read the book twice so my perspective on crucial moments has changed due to my knowledge of future events so I'm trying rely only on my memory of that first read) but I'm sure about it being at least the half point or a bit past it.
GRRM had to do a lot of set up for the big moments in the later half but it made the dull moments worth it.
I'm probs not going to make a post till next week, but it looks like we've reached the tipping point in Korea.
The National Assembly is set to vote on impeachment this Friday, and they need around 30 votes from the conservative party. It looks like it'll pass? If it doesn't, this Saturday's protests might get nasty very quickly. Saturday's had 2.3 million people, the highest ever, and I cant imagine how big the next one will be.
I do have to say though, this whole fiasco has made me lose faith in the government, but I have never been prouder of the people.
Also, a pro-PGH congressman said that candles blow out when a wind blows as a jab at the candlelight protests, so people now bring LED candles and giant torches lmao I love this level of sass

I love this movie, definitely going again when it comes out all over - well, depending on the weather trying to kill me anyway
