Since having read the books last year after Season 1 of Game of Thrones wrapped up, my collection of the first four novels had fallen on some bad luck. Game of Thrones was lost. Clash of Kings had water damage, and my daughter tore the cover off.

However, since my SS (who I know only as Donna) got me the box set of the first 4 novels, I've got the first two books replaced. Since books 3 and 4 were still in good shape, I'll now have some trade fodder for a book exchange, or maybe I'll release them out into the world via bookcrossing.com

Thanks, Donna! Happy Arbitrary Day!
