Hi everyone!! My Clash of kings video is now live! I apologize for the long wait but stay tuned as I will be posting monthly reading the rest of the series! th-cam.com/video/iGwpQE1buLk/w-d-xo.html
Read the rest and one book at a time in the videos making it easier for you to space them out and do other projects between them.
also your videos just always puts a smile on my face and makes my day better and cannot wait to see what you think of the rest. I was personally going to try to read them myself this year as well
I would LOVE to see you read the rest of the series and discuss them with Ian! But I agree, space them out as you need to since they can be pretty dark.
I stopped partway into the third book a few years ago when life got busy, but your video really makes me want to pick it up again. :)
I just posted the reading vlog for “A Clash Of Kings” and I will have a new video for each book every month!!😊
@ I saw it and immediately clicked on it and it was amazing!
@ AWWW THANK YOU!! 🥹
I agree, the dialogue between Tyrion and Jon towards the beginning is so powerful. I don’t think I’ve ever forgotten that line since I read that. Unfortunately the book got really long for me so I’ve been listening to the audiobook versions. I’m almost done with a clash of kings. Idk why I’m sharing this, but your videos have me immersed and I’ll be subscribing! :)
hope you’re enjoying the audiobook! wanted to share a youtube channel that has done *incredible* audiobook-style videos for the whole series, DavidReadsASOIAF. i get so immersed in his versions of the books. he even does regional accents that correspond to different kingdoms, it’s insane the work he puts in! all that to say, if you’re not content with your current audiobook i really recommend that channel!
@@StoryTrades thanks for the recommendation! I’ll be sure to remember that!

George loves to break our hearts. Now if only he would finish the series.
That's the last way he'll break our hearts; Never finishing it so the only closure we have is the last season of the show..
It's been like 5 yrs. He's written other series after this. I'm convinced he won't finish it.
Him never finishing it would be very much in keeping with the books.
@@cpjohnson1887 5 years? Wdym 5 years... its been 13 years.... and from updates hes giving us, it doesn't seem like hes any closer to finishing than 10 years ago....
I feel like he will finish it but won't publish until he passes just incase ppl hate it
Yes, please do all the books in this format. I love following these along. For no sadistic reason at all.
I can't wait to see her get to the red wedding hahaha

oh my gosh, PLEASE do vlogs for the rest of the series, I would love to follow along with your experience and hear your thoughts!! I fell in love with ASoIaF in 2010 and have been suffering ever since 😂💀 welcome to the club!! ❄️🥰🐺💖🐉🔥

You talked a bit about at the end, but I am relly mesmerized how GRRM does world building. It never feels like annoying expositions and info dumps, he always manages to really elegantly paints a picture of Westeros that gets bigger and bigger.
oh my sweet summer child
after years and years when i see someone who starts the westereos's summerish last days i feel like "oh my sweet summer child"
So green they piss grass

@@MrTwixksa awww thank you so much🥲🥹
Please do a reading vlog for all of them!! My fiancé has been begging me to read these because we love the Tv show
As much as I love the show the books are easily a thousand times better
@@maxvickrey4357 A thousand times and one

What a fantastic video! I do hope you decide to carry on with the series and do one book at a time. It gets WILD! 😜

Omg!! Your reactions immediately has me putting Game of thrones on hold at my library! Yes please read the rest of the series. Film it however works best for you. I loved this one with just the one book cause we got all of the reactions and emotions and the way Ian was trying to comfort you was so sweet! 🩷🩷🩷🩷
Your view of the mountains is stunning.
I honestly hate seeing you cry towards the end, BUT the whole “As they say in the romance books, “Who did this to you” bit took me out.
I love it! 😂😂😂

Made me laugh so hard! 🤣

😂 It’s always exciting to see someone pick up this series for the first time. The fandom grows, as does the opportunity to trauma bond.
The first book does a lot of table setting, so much so that it seems like a prologue in and of itself. Ned’s death tore me apart the first time, too. I questioned whether this book series even embraced the idea of “main character”. If Ned could die, what does that mean for everyone else? Of course, we were warned repeatedly this could happen. So much foreshadowing. The direwolf dead from an antler wound. Lady’s death by order of the king (and done by Ned’s hand, no less). Joffrey’s malicious nature. The fact the last three Starks that went south willlingly didn’t come back alive.
Thinking about it much later, I came to the conclusion that Ned’s death (and Drogo’s) is the true beginning for what is destined to unfold. George let us get cozy (if you want to call it that), but now the tutorial is over and the trainings wheels are off.

I'm so glad you're starting this series! It was the first series like this i read and it blew my mind, I read all the books back to back and after i was like 'How will anything else ever compare?!'
OMG 😱 MY FAVORITE BOOKTUBER HAS POSTED!!!!!!!!!
You and your husband post my favorite book content! I’ve watched Game of Thrones and I’ve had the series on my TBR for a long time.. this makes me want to prioritize it!
oh please do, the books are SO, SO good!! 😍
I recommend them to you, best series I have read. Of course everyone has their views, but I think this is the only series "alive" that if finished can surpass Lord of the Rings as king of fantasy
I had absolutely no desire to read this book until seeing how much it moved and excited you. Just got through the first three chapters this afternoon. My husband is pleased! Hahaha. Thanks for pushing me outside my comfort zone! ❤
Read them all...READ THEM ALL...READ THEM ALL. And One book at a time, loved this video.
Just updating everyone here 🥰 I just posted the reading vlog for “A Clash Of Kings” and I will have a new video for each book every month!!😊
Now Ashlynn, girly, this was a ride! Nicely done! 👏🏼
It was a RIDE😭
You definitely gotta do the rest of the books but be warned they only get more intense and longer as they go...
This was an absolute treat to behold. I was completely invested in your reactions. I need more! Yes, please, continue reading the series!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Aww thank you!!!🥹Just updating everyone here 🥰 I just posted the reading vlog for “A Clash Of Kings” and I will have a new video for each book every month!!😊
Yes, 100% continue the series! I'm currently on book 4 and the story keeps getting better

@@AshlynnCalee I've already watched it ha! That moment you realized Bran and Rickon are still alive
@ aww thank you so much 🥲 I was so confused but wow I should’ve known from book one with Ned 😭😂 GRRM loves to play games
@AshlynnCalee no need to say thanks, love the content! Yeah GRRM is a cunning man. You'll def find out how cunning in A Storm of Swords 😄
Love to see a new reader! Keep going. The third book "A Storm of Swords" is the only book I ever ACTUALLY threw across the room when reading, instead of just saying I did.🤣

Aww thank you so much!! 😭 Just updating everyone here 🥰 I just posted the reading vlog for “A Clash Of Kings” and I will have a new video for each book every month!!😊
ASoIaF is so well written and my favorite series of all time. I read it back in 2007, I've reread it several times and I'll reread it this year. ✨
I would love to see the rest of the books seeing your reactions makes me want to read the book! Love your Videos
Just updating everyone here 🥰 I just posted the reading vlog for “A Clash Of Kings” and I will have a new video for each book every month!!😊
I need more y’all’s reactions to yall reading each other’s books!❤😂🥰
I love this so much! Reading the book, watching the season and spacing the books out is probably the best. BUT i would love to see you read the entire series and i would absolutely love seeing your reaction to the show as well!
Just updating everyone here 🥰 I just posted the reading vlog for “A Clash Of Kings” and I will have a new video for each book every month!!😊
The fact that this series can make you feel all these emotions really tells you why having consequences are important for even beloved characters

Once you got to the first POV of Bran I began preparing myself for your reaction😂😂 "HE JUST CALLED HER SISTER"

@shayna897 thank you so much friend 🥹🩷
I LOVE THIS FORMAT FOR YOUR VIDEOS
Thank you!!! 🥰 I just posted the reading vlog for “A Clash Of Kings” and I will have a new video for each book every month!!😊
we need the vlog for a clash of kings!!!!!! love thiss

The prose in this series is SMASHING I can't ever get tired of it
This was in TH-cam recommendations and honestly, this was soooo wholesome! Instantly subbed ❤ can't wait for you to finish the rest. I haven't read it either but now i definitely want to start!
Coming back to this video when I finish this book! I just started yesterday, and I'm only 43 pages in ... I thrifted all of these and have been DYING to read this series! This video got me even more excited, and I can't even watch it yet, because I don't want anything spoiled. 😂
No mention of the wolves? I literally cried when Cersei had Lady killed.
Definitely do a vlog for each one!!! Don’t do the tandem read at the end, read it book by book. And take your time getting to each book, because it is a lot!
Just updating everyone here 🥰 I just posted the reading vlog for “A Clash Of Kings” and I will have a new video for each book every month!!😊
Please continue the series this video was amazing!
Yes read the rest! One at a time!
Just updating everyone here 🥰 I just posted the reading vlog for “A Clash Of Kings” and I will have a new video for each book every month!!😊
Watching someone read my all-time favorite series for the first time was absolutely awesome. I loved all of your reactions. I hope you read more.
It has definitely inspired me to reread them. There is so much foreshadowing, little prophecies, and clues that even three read throughs isn't enough to catch them all. These books and the lore are deep-deep. George writes almost every line with such foreboding intention.
Just updating everyone here 🥰 I just posted the reading vlog for “A Clash Of Kings” and I will have a new video for each book every month!!😊
excited to see the rest of your reactions. also your husband is amazing, being there for you.
I -LOVED- this vlog, just seeing your reaction while reading. Epic! ❤
Great video as always! ❤ you & Ian are my favourite booktubers/couples i love you both💖 it always makes me happy to see you enjoy a book 💗
I'd love to see you read the entire series, and I think it would be best to do one book per video. These books don't get smaller, or less complex, and it would be a shame for too much to be cut for the sake of having a reasonable length to the video.
I think Martin is so good at weaving together plot, character and worldbuilding, and capturing the voices of characters. The way he uses multi-POV storytelling is great as well. Just as an example, seeing things from both Sansa and Arya's POV is great for exploring how girls are impacted by this society (Sansa performing according to expectations, and the anxiety she feels about that, and how vulnerable it makes her to be so pleasing vs Arya's non-conformity and independence bringing her into conflicts, and the shame she is made to feel about herself).
There's so many things to come in the series that I hope we'll get to see your reaction to!
Just updating everyone here 🥰 I just posted the reading vlog for “A Clash Of Kings” and I will have a new video for each book every month!!😊
Thanks for this because I needed motivation to continue to the second book & you hyped me up! Probably will put it in my April TBR.
Oh my god! This was amazing! Please do continue the series and share with us one video per book if possible! I love your commentary and seeing your reaction❤😂
Loved this, would love to hear more of your thoughts as well(as long as it doesn't impact your enjoyment of the books) one at a time pls :)
Thanks for sharing your experience, Ashlynn!
I, myself, saw the tv-show first. Luckily, I started late, so I could see the whole show within two months or so.
I started with the books a few years later. It's an open door perhaps, but it 's a different experience. It's obvious the tv show thickens the number of persons of interest. I liked in the books that there were more characters. I thought in the tv-show the humour was more present.
Anyhow, I loved your first reactions and hop to see the next ones.
All the best from the Netherlands!
I loved that this had spoilers because I read A Game of Thrones last year and basically had the same reactions as you. I couldn’t believe how much I loved it! Immediate 5 stars. I’ve had trouble getting through the second one but this video made me want to pick it back up!
Just updating everyone here 🥰 I just posted the reading vlog for “A Clash Of Kings” and I will have a new video for each book every month!!😊
Just found you this weekend! Loved how you secretly read your husband’s TBR. Also, great soundtrack decisions!
Loved this video! I would love to watch you read the rest of the books. One book video at a time makes sense, but whatever is comfortable for you😊
I would love to see a continuation of this series. Great video. I love your vibe.
Ashlynn where is Clash of Kings?! ❤💛
Glad you're starting with the book, it's amazing!!! Hope we'll get the next book soon! I need the real ending for this story!!! You're going to love it!
This is so much fun! I read half of Game of Thrones last year but didn’t finish can’t remember why but now I want to finish it!
Yes do the rest of the series
Just updating everyone here 🥰 I just posted the reading vlog for “A Clash Of Kings” and I will have a new video for each book every month!!😊
Can’t wait for the next book, your video are so entertaining
Why did my eyes get watery watching you cry 😭😭😂
Awww!!!!😭😭🩷
This was so fun to watch! You are the sweetest person and your reactions were so visceral! Made me feel like I was reading it for the first time again!
If you like Game of Thrones you HAVE to read Pillars of the Earth! It's not fantasy but it is sooooo good!! Who would think the building of a Cathedral in the 1100s would make a great story but oh my...it is so good! I just finished it a couple weeks ago! And yes...I want to see you read the rest of the series...one book at a time! Love you girl!!❤❤❤
i loved the show, this honestly motivated me to actually read the books! im definitely gonna read them before i rewatch got
omg pls do the rest of the series! i would prefer a video for each book instead but do whatever you wish
okay the only thing i need to know right off the bat is if she will clue in on Jon's parentage this early like i did because George really really wrote that so so well where if you pay attention and some alarm bells ring in your head you can put it together, but also it's able to slip into the background as well if you're keyed into the main plot. Ugghhhh so good! I'd love to see you read the next ones also! It only gets better (but then the unending wait is so so painful lol)
I'd be careful commenting something like this to be honest. I know you're trying to engage but knowing how creators often read their comments, I imagine they'd rather not be influenced by semi spoilers.
I definitely support your doing videos for the rest of the series! As a big fan of the series, I am always hoping for more people to discuss the books and not just the television series. Because each book covers so much material, I think you could even do more than one video for each book.
One book at a time. The first seasons of the show are incredible!
Just updating everyone here 🥰 I just posted the reading vlog for “A Clash Of Kings” and I will have a new video for each book every month!!😊
This book just rips your heart out 😫 I would love to see you read the rest one at a time, because I haven't read them all, so that would give me time to read them sort of along with you. Then see your reactions after i finish each one, without spoiling the next one if I haven't read it yet ❤
Just updating everyone here 🥰 I just posted the reading vlog for “A Clash Of Kings” and I will have a new video for each book every month!!😊
Please continue the series . Would love this x
definitely read the rest. they are on my list to read too but ive seen the shows. currently reading fire & blood first which is the book to house of dragon show and more history before the GOT. and its good. youll have to watch the shows after too and do comparisons maybe.
Just updating everyone here 🥰 I just posted the reading vlog for “A Clash Of Kings” and I will have a new video for each book every month!!😊
I absolutely loved this reading vlog from you! I can't wait to see more of you reacting to high fantasy books such as game of thrones
PS: How cute can you be??? I mean your reactions are just golden
This was really fun! Hope to see some of the rest of the series!
Definitely Read one book at a time and vlog each one individually! This was such a great reading vlog! Enjoyed seeing your emotions as you discovered different plot points!
I LOVE game of thrones and house of dragon... I have never read the books. Now I want to !
Dany’s chapters were put together into its own story in Asimov’s Science Fiction in July 1996 as a novella which won a Hugo for best novella of the year. I just think it’s cool that it stand as its own story. I was checking out a scan of it just now and it said the second book was going to be called the name of the actual 5th book.
Omg i just finished the series in march. Can’t wait for you if you continue
Can you please make it a series ? I loved watching your reactions ❤
One book at a time, please! This was a really fun vlog to watch, and I'm looking forward to the next ones!
I've seen the show but never read the books, now I'm thinking about trying to read them since you loved it so much. I own the entire series already so why not. Great video!!!
The second book, great. The third, unbelievably stupendous.
I hope you continue the series. Side note, after you are done with the Thurs book, A Storm.of Swords, I recommend reading the side book/collection of three novels "A Knights of the Seven Kingdoms" There's some small stuff that makes reading the fourth book really cool. Nothing crazy plot related, but just some nice small details. It also is a much happier read in terms of tone so it's a nice break from the chaos of ASOIAF lol.
I’m halfway through and I love this series.
A nice wholesome vlog 😭 and it makes me wanna reread the series
0:53 Im getting worried cause you seem so sweet and this series is so outstandingly cruel is hard to express. Tyrion's past with someone is something i didnt recover to this day.
How have you convinced me to try reading A Game of Thrones? Love your vids!! Thank you!
I watched 3 minutes of this video and then picked up the first book and now a month later I'm here watching the rest after finishing the book!
OMG PLEASE GIVE US MORE! Do one book at a time so I can read along 🤭
yes!!!! keep making these one book at a time!!
Just saw this today. Yes please do the other books individually. Ty
I can’t wait for you to read the rest!
Oh my god!! A Song of Ice and Fire?! I am soooo glad you loved it! This vlog was so awesome - we really got to relive some moments with you here 😭❤🩹 So many good POVs - Tyrion is definitely the funniest and most fun to read ✨ And omg, please, read the next books as well! Don't have to start with them right away (they are massive after all) but I'll definitely keep my eyes open for the vlogs if/when you continue with the series^^
I definitely say do one book at a time!!! I think it will be more enjoyable for you and for us. ❤ loved this video!!
Yes continue to record the series ❤
Still my favourite series more than a decade after I read it. The third book, A Storm of Swords, is still the best book I’ve ever read. Nothing has topped it, and I’m not sure if anything ever will… Unless the next book in the series is well worth the wait. 😅
In term of books I love a mix of history, scifi and drama. I'm reading the outlander it's just as good as the television series.
I loved this!! One big vlog pls!
Yes, please. I've been trying for YEARS to get my wife to read A Song of Ice and Fire, and she's refused. We just watched this, and now she's interested. Thank you. Don't worry, she KNEW it was spoilery, I warned her too, but she said that she wasn't going to read it, so no big deal. Ha! Thank you.
Please continue to read the series. I've read it and now Marie is reading it. We need your passion for reading and your viewpoints. Thank you.
This was ANOTHER great video/vlog. And, yes...one vlog for each book would be our pick. Thank you.
AWW YAY!!! 😭👏🏼 I’m so glad!! Just updating everyone here 🥰 I just posted the reading vlog for “A Clash Of Kings” and I will have a new video for each book every month!!😊
I have only read about halfway through Game of thrones. You haven't spoiled me, but ou have given me the incentive to put the book higher on my TBR.
Love GoT. It has everything in it.
Also, your voice is so pretty and cute 🥰
