I am what is referred to as a coffee snob. We all have our obsessions, shopping, chocolate, but mine is that oh-so-good cup of joe! But I am picky, too. I don’t like strong coffee, therefore I am a latte lover, delicious, creamy, warm and pleasant, never too overpowering in flavour. Now the dilemma I have is that so many places just can’t make a good latte, but instead gives me a cappuccino in disguise… utter heartbreak for this addict.

Since then, its become this massive phenomenon beloved by people all over the world, discussed in coffee rooms and workplaces across several countries; when a Game of Thrones season is in progress (airing on Sundays), you can bet your bottom dollar that come Monday people will be dissecting and analysing each episode for clues, easter eggs and foreshadowings of things to come.
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: fantasy must be the most difficult thing in the world to write. It takes a whole lot of imagination. The concept of world-building alone staggers…

Its Monday night and I’m sitting in front of the telly contemplating about how dreary the start of the week is going to be now that I no longer have a new episode of Game of Thrones to look forward to.

But what I can’t deny is the power of a good story. And at the heart of it, A Song of Ice and Fire is an epic tale of dragon queens and bastards, of dwarves and cripples, of faceless men and cruel kings, of betrayals, death and redemption. It’s so big that I don’t…
