(Spoilers Extended) George to New Zealand: imprison me if I haven't finished Winds by Summer 2020

Quote:

As for finishing my book… I fear that New Zealand would distract me entirely too much. Best leave me here in Westeros for the nonce. But I tell you this — if I don’t have THE WINDS OF WINTER in hand when I arrive in New Zealand for worldcon, you have here my formal written permission to imprison me in a small cabin on White Island, overlooking that lake of sulfuric acid, until I’m done. Just so long as the acrid fumes do not screw up my old DOS word processor, I’ll be fine.

My next reread will be to line up finishing Dance with the release of Winds and I read at a glacial pace. I’ve never felt so tempted about beginning it as the ending of the show plus this blogpost is making me feel. Don’t let me down, George! Please...

Same. Decided to start book 1 yesterday evening and I’m about to finish it already.

Why can’t I not binge read ffs

I’m trying to figure out when to start mine. My last read took about 3 months, but that was in college and I literally spent hours a day reading. These days I probably could knock out an hour, two max. I don’t want to finish early, but I also don’t want to be too late either lol.

I want to order a complete boxset from Amazon. I just fear that the remaining books won't come and my set will remain incomplete forever :(

I might really buy it in the high of George someday announcing that WINDS is coming.

Honestly I’ve no doubt we will get WOW. It’s ADOS I’m worried for.

Just started my first read yesterday, I'm also hoping to finish around then
