I'm rather sure I'm not going to be the only one to pick this TV show and the books it is based on certainly fit the description too. My children bet on how many minutes into an episode of Game of Thrones the first nude scene will occur because lots of skin will be shown every week. Usually full nudity and not just of boobs. Blood and Carnage! Can I say Red Wedding? Too many examples to even name them and more will follow.
I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with.
The Pennwriters' Conference this past weekend was wonderful. You know I'll be sharing lots of information with you on this blog over the next few weeks with the first installment showing up this Wednesday. The only bad part of the event was driving through road construction. Pennsylvania does road work in a manner designed to torture commuters. I believe my home state to be the bozo kings of road construction.
I'm looking forward getting back to my WIP, the first in a new science fiction romance series. And it is time to get some yard work done. I haven't planted anything yet.
How does your state handle road construction? Do you think I picked the winner for the blogfest? Have your spring yard work done? Can I sign you up to attend our state conference next year?
I've heard tons of great things about Game of Thrones, but I haven't watched one episode yet. Oh I know....I'm terrible. Great Blogfest!
ReplyDeleteYou'll be hooked if you start it.
DeleteWell, if this is a "normal" post, I'm scared to show up another day, lol. This is one of the most obvious BB&C shows. Funny how the books are nowhere near this graphic. But I am enjoying both.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to what you learned at the conference Susan.
LOL. I guess the images are normal for my posts.
DeleteGame of Thrones is a perfect example for this blogfest!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to reading about the conference.
Lots of participants have picked it.
DeleteThat was my choice as well.
ReplyDeleteHere we call road construction orange barrel storage.
Thanks for participating in our blogfest!
Great minds thinking alike. Road construction!!! I only have bad words for it.
DeleteGoT is everywhere today! :)
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear the conference went well! Looking forward to hearing about it in future posts....
I have at least six posts planned already.
DeleteYep, Game of Thrones fits this blogfest to a tee! I'm not a fan of road construction, and with our winters, it all has to take place in the summer. That said, I don't think they're out to torture us here in Rochester, but then again, I've lived here long enough to know alternate routes which helps enormously.
ReplyDeleteThat is what created a problem for me. I was a stranger in a strange land and didn't know how to get around the road work.
DeleteGoT is wonderfully violet... yet charming, except Jeffreys... he was a tool.

Joffery... argh!
DeleteJoffrey got what he deserved though maybe he died too quick.
DeleteI've never seen the show.
ReplyDeleteRoad workers must get paid by the hour here, which would explain why they take forever to finish a job.
We say the same thing about ours. And I'm pretty sure it's true.
DeleteI'm a huge Game of Thrones fan! As for construction, I have my fill already and the summer hasn't even started. They're putting a new interstate through our town and all the construction goes on during the summer while the university students are away.
ReplyDeleteJust when you should be able to relax, the orange cones and barrels come out.
DeleteSo many of picked Game of Thrones and I haven't seen a single episode! I feel so left out. :(
ReplyDeleteJoin the madness, Chrys. And it is madness.
DeleteGame of Thrones sure showed the carnage with Red Wedding.
ReplyDeleteSure did. They managed to make it worse than the book.
DeleteGOT is a major participant in the BB&C category, LOL
ReplyDeleteLots of people went there.
DeleteGame of Thrones is definitely the king of the Blogfest. In California they talk about road construction a lot and when they finally do it the create a major mess. If we left it up to our stupid Moonbeam governor though, none of us would be driving and we'd all be on foot, riding bicycles, or taking bullet trains to nowhere.

It is a slow go for fixing things around here. Every winter tears up something new.
DeleteGame of Thrones was my choice as well. It was made for this blogfest. When I mentioned the theme of the blogfest o my wife, she thought it was about Game of Thrones. Glad you had a fun and educational time at the conference. I always feels good to get back to a WIP. I'm looking forward to getting back to writing.
ReplyDeleteAnd here I am, having fun on this blogfest when I should be writing.
DeleteHA! Love the betting on when first nudity will strike! This was my pick too--love this show.
ReplyDeleteYes! Great minds think alike. Sometimes the nudity is right after the opening credits.
DeleteGame of Thrones rules! Its really hard to top this one.
ReplyDeleteIt is a perfect fit.
DeleteI have never seen Game of Thrones but one day I will and see what all the fuss is about
ReplyDeleteOne episode and you'll be hooked on it.
DeleteLots of people choosing Game of Thrones. My son is big into it. I've only seen parts of it. It's definitely more violent than The Walking Dead (my favorite) has ever been.
ReplyDeletePrecious Monsters
It's likely to get worse before it's over.
DeleteI think Game of Thrones has made the most blogs for this challenge. After all, it's ALL about the blood, boobs and carnage!
ReplyDeleteThe Walking Dead is probably runner up though I say a number of things with more than one post.
DeleteGame of Thrones seems to be winning the blogfest... :D And with good reason too. Playing a drinking game with it is always quite fun, even if you only drink for nipples...
ReplyDeleteCheers!

Your children seem very film savvy. Does money exchange hands on this betting? I agree--the Red Wedding was amazingly bloody.
ReplyDeleteNo money. Gentleman bets only.
DeleteI should have known that Game of Thrones would be nominated a lot. Good choice.
ReplyDeleteI would have planted this weekend, but the upcoming forecast showed a few 40 degree lows later this week, so I decided to wait.
We had lots of rain today so I wish I had planted. Probably this weekend for me.
DeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI can say Pennsylvania is not the only state behind the times. Here in Germany I believe the construction work dates back to the stone age. It never fails that right before school vacation there is construction all over Germany and also traffic jams.
As for your pick Game of Thrones, to be honest, I haven't seen it yet. (Don't scream :-) I don't get much American Television in Germany at all. You can buy a Sky Card but you have to have a residence in the U.K.
Shalom,
Pat
Glad to know you're sharing the pain overseas. Some things must be universal.
DeleteI'm intrigued by Game of Thrones. Haven't seen it yet, but so many people have raved about it.
ReplyDeleteIt's on my "to watch" list.
Let us know when you start watching and how quick you get hooked.
DeleteGame of Thrones is almost too much for me... But it IS a good one for this blog hop!
ReplyDeleteI look away sometimes.
DeleteYeah the red wedding definitely fit the bill. I've read the books so I knew it was coming, but still... Love GoT, though. Almost as much as I love The Walking Dead. :D Great post!
ReplyDeleteThose two were the ones most often mentioned.
DeleteLooking forward to hearing about your conference experience.
ReplyDeleteI have at least six posts to share.
DeleteSeems like a lot of people like Game of Thrones in this meme ;) I've yet to see it :)
ReplyDeleteGlad the conference went well.
betty
I can't believe how many people I'm finding out today haven't watched it.
DeleteYep, totally the poster child for the blogfest. :)
ReplyDeletePoster, evil, psychotic child.
DeleteI've actually never seen this as I don't have HBO. The construction around here has been terrible it takes so long to get across the bridge during the morning commute.
ReplyDeleteThat's the worse when you have to drive through the construction and can't find a way around it.
DeleteI've heard so many things about how bloody and ruthless Game of Thrones is. Mr. Martin certainly doesn't have any sort of attachment to his characters, if he's so easily able to kill them off!
ReplyDeleteMartin doesn't hesitate to kill them off. The readers and fans suffer. As soon as you like someone you know they'll be gone.
DeleteWe have a lot of stupid construction, as well. It's affecting right next to my work, so yeah, totally. As for Game of Thrones, hell yeah it fits this blogfest to a T. South Park did a funny episode about it and had a "dangling weiners" song to the theme song tune. Not just boobs indeed!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had heard that dangling weiners song. I know they have to do construction but they don't seem to use sense in how many miles they close at a time.
DeleteHeard a lot about it but never watched.. I don't have access where I am. Does seem to fit the BBC superbly though.
ReplyDeleteI put off yard work for as long as I can.
ReplyDeleteI was explaining to my husband the other day that long before we started watching the show (just started), I knew Martin was known for killing off his darlings. Man, he just wipes everyone out. That show is certainly full of blood, boobs, and carnage.
ReplyDeleteThe Red Wedding was pretty epic when it came to blood and carnage.
ReplyDeleteGame of Thrones is the best example yet of B,B & C. Outstanding. It sounds to me like you enjoyed the conference. Your WIP has to be good. Can't wait to read it one day. Yard work done here? Check. We live on a farm. Still planting veggies though.

ReplyDeleteI saw another blog with Game of Thrones as their pick too! Glad your conference went well. I've had some time to get some things in the ground, but not as much as I usually do. Thanks for dropping by! Lisa @ http://www.lisabuiecollard.com
ReplyDeleteGoT is way ahead in the blogfest! I'll need to watch it someday. Glad the conference went well but boo to the roadworks. Around this time of year we have a lot because they're using up all their money for the financial year.
ReplyDeleteHi Susan. Wow, I'm reading a lot about Game of Thrones. Until now I had no idea what it was really about. It just didn't spark my curiosity but it's piqued now for sure! I'll have to binge watch the first season so I can see what all the fuss is about... Happy BB&C!

GoT was everywhere on this blogfest. I may be the only one who didn't mention it!
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU for joining Alex and me in this EPIC blogfest!

Question: How are you enjoying your new comments area?
ReplyDeleteRoad construction starts here, just after they remove all the snow, so late May.
Excellent selection for the BB&C fest, without a doubt!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting me.
GoT seems to be dominating this hop.
