I'm in the middle of a very slow reread of ASOIAF. I added two books to my wishlist on Amazon though.

Blood and Beauty: The Borgias by Sarah Dunant and Book 1 of the Accursed Kings series by Maurice Druon. I also have book 1 of the Wolf Hall series, North and South, Les Miserables, The Passage, Don Quixote, the Decameron and The Lord of the Rings series on my wishlist.

I haven't read for pleasure in ages. Every time I try the book bores me and I give up. Nothing has filled the void since ASoIaF.

Maybe check out the Accursed Kings series? It's apparently one of the book series that inspired ASOIAF.

All I really want is something that is a relatively easy, fun read (not heavy on the prose) without a badly written romantic angle. Preferrably fantasy or sci-fi.

The Graveyard Book, Neil Gaiman.
Or
Stardust, Neil Gaiman.

Also read Stardust. Preferred the movie.

Tried reading some of his other stuff and couldn't get into it. Maybe it's his writing style.

Tried and failed lol. I find it hard to nap unless I'm 100% exhausted. Sadly.

I'm sorry. I'd give you my stellar ability to sleep whenever, if I could.
