Since there seems to be a new tv show based on the series, and I didn't really remember all that much about the books... of course, that might have been a good thing... whatever. Still plenty entertaining, even though every character in the book is a self absorbed whiny little excuse for a person. Reminds me of my students

Happy 2016! What are you reading in January and February?

I would start with Mansfield Park as it's the most boring.

Seconded. Every likeable character in Mansfield Park is, apparently, considered a villain.

Fantasy rereads, for a change - feeling nostalgic, I guess.

It wasn't exactly a major plot point or anything. But it was ugly.

Merill? Merith? Something like that?

Merel, yes. Kind of odd to see a Dutch name popping up in a Norse setting, but okay.
