Today I'm really conflicted, hahaha. Early this morning I wanted to go an torture myself going to the bookstore (and I say torture because here the books are so expensive it's really difficult to buy one, it's easier to order them but then I have to wait at least a week...) and I saw a pack, a whole pack of one of the series I'm dying to have and it was way to expensive... but I want them so badly!!! Sigh...

A Game of Thrones
by George R. R. Martin
Official Blurb:

Long ago, in a time forgotten, a preternatural event threw the seasons out of balance. In a land where summers can last decades and winters a lifetime, trouble is brewing. The cold is returning, and in the frozen wastes to the north of Winterfell, sinister and supernatural forces are massing beyond the kingdom’s protective Wall. At the center of the conflict lie the Starks of Winterfell, a family as harsh and unyielding as the land they were born to. Sweeping from a land of brutal cold to a distant summertime kingdom of epicurean plenty, here is a tale of lords and ladies, soldiers and sorcerers, assassins and bastards, who come together in a time of grim omens.

Here an enigmatic band of warriors bear swords of no human metal; a tribe of fierce wildlings carry men off into madness; a cruel young dragon prince barters his sister to win back his throne; and a determined woman undertakes the most treacherous of journeys. Amid plots and counterplots, tragedy and betrayal, victory and terror, the fate of the Starks, their allies, and their enemies hangs perilously in the balance, as each endeavors to win that deadliest of conflicts: the game of thrones.

And my romantic side calls for this book... I mean, who wouldn't want to read this book?! Sounds like a fun, exciting and sweet story, I'm sure it's great!
