Whoo-hooo! April 12 is rapidly approaching and, along with the winter thaw, you know what that means? Yup—Game of Thrones season five returns.

It's been nine months (kind of like a pregnancy) since the last episode aired and GOT fans are more than ready to see the birth of season five. CAN NOT WAIT to catch up with the intrigue, betrayals and treachery of the citizens of Westeros! Has Daenerys Targaryen tamed her dragons? Will Arya Stark EVER see her siblings again? And who will be the next victim of Tyrion Lannister's wicked tongue?

I plan on watching the last couple of episodes from season four to jog my memory, and I have a big, red circle around the number 12 on my April calendar. Listed below are the books upon which the series is based. They are big, meaty novels that will give you hours and hours of reading pleasure long after the television series is over.

A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire, Book 1) by George R.R. Martin is the first volume in the A Song of Ice and Fire series. An epic fantasy novel full of mystery, adventure and intrigue.

A Clash of Kings (A Song of Ice and Fire, Book 2) by George R.R. Martin is the second volume in the A Song of Ice and Fire series. This time around the dead rise to walk at night, brother fights brother and wild men ravage the countryside.

A Storm of Swords (A Song of Ice and Fire, Book 3) by George R.R. Martin is volume three in the A Song of Ice and Fire series. The struggle for control of the Seven Kingdoms rages on and alliances are made, only to be broken.

A Feast for Crows (A Song of Ice and Fire, Book 4) by George R.R. Martin is volume four in the A Song of Ice and Fire series. An uneasy truce exists in the Seven Kingdoms, but chaos looms in the future of its inhabitants.

A Dance With Dragons (A Song of Ice and Fire, Book 5) by George R.R. Martin is volume five in the A Song of Ice and Fire series. The fantasy saga continues with more lying, cheating and intrigue than ever.
