29. A Clash of Kings, George R. R. Martin


30. A Storm of Swords, George R. R. Martin. Okay, I've got about a hundred pages left to go in this one, but I think it's close enough to count as finished when you're talking about an 1100 page book and you read 500 pages the night before.

I know there's one more I've finished since the last book post, but it's not here with me and I can't remember what it was right now. Will update when I get home.

Do I want to wear a formal gown or my jeans? Oh, I just can't decide.

Whose idea was a denim wedding dress with a cathedral train? There's also this one, which would be gorgeous if it were, y'know, not denim.

[Edit: The denim I think is just a little odd. This, however... Words fail.]

[The userpic has nothing to do particularly with the post, I just figured I'd share some wrongness instead of simply making a GIP.]
