Random House: Recommended Reading: Game of Thrones
As we wait for Game of Thrones to return for its final season, we’ve been thinking about what books our favorite characters have been reading over their long absence from our TV screens. Read on for our predictions.
Arya Stark:
Arya has been fighting a secret war of her own for years, so she’ll appreciate learning about Marie Madeleine-Fourcade, the woman who led France’s largest spy network against Hitler.
Order Madame Fourcade’s Secret War
Cersei Lannister:
Is Love and Ruin the title of a Paula McLain novel—or Cersei Lannister’s autobiography? Even for the most ambitious women, the heart wants what it wants . . .
Order Love and Ruin
Samwell Tarly:
Samwell Tarly, our resident historian and maester-in-training, would devour George R. R. Martin’s history of the Targaryen family.
Order Fire & Blood
Jon Snow:
Jon Snow doesn’t necessarily want to lead, but he can’t help that he’s good at it. Brené Brown can help him keep his skills sharp.
Order Dare to Lead
Daenerys Targaryen and Missandei:
Daenerys knows she’s a better ruler with her right-hand woman, Missandei, by her side—just like Work Wife’s authors know that female friendship is the secret to business success.
Order Work Wife
Tyrion Lannister:
The brilliant and routinely underestimated Tyrion Lannister would identify with the story of computer genius and unlikely criminal mastermind Paul Calder Le Roux.
Order The Mastermind
Bran Stark:
Did Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics help Bran Stark transform from energetic, climbing kid to calm, wise Three-Eyed Raven? Uh, probably!
Order Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics
Ramsay Bolton:
With a flayed man as his house’s mascot, we think it’s safe to assume Ramsay Bolton is interested in meat. Maybe he likes to cook it, too?
Order The MeatEater Fish and Game Cookbook
