5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful and unique calendar! July 10, 2012

If you want to go real mainstream, check out the Game of Thrones 2013 Wall Calendar by HBO, which has pictures from the show. Thankfully, however, you have the choice of just getting book art, which I'm a huge fan of. Marc Simonetti is a great artist and I am really in love with these beautiful, subtle paintings. Each month is titled and it also says what book it is from. Here is a breakdown of months:

SPOILERS

January - "Among the Crows" (AGOT): Bran Stark is jumping from building to building
February - "The Kingsmoot" (AFFC): Asha Greyjoy doing her Queensmoot thing
March - "In the House of Dust" (ACOK): Daenerys Targaryen in the House of the Undying
April - "The Three-Eyed Crow" (ADWD): Bran Stark and the Three-Eyed Crow
May - "In the Sorrows" (ADWD)
June - "Atonement" (ADWD): Cersei Lannister's "Walk of Shame." Yikes.
July - "The Bear Pit" (ASOS): My favorite! Jaime Lannister and Brienne Tarth in the bear pit.
August - "Mother and Son" (ADWD): Daenerys Targaryen with Drogon in Daznak's Pit.
September - "Lady Stoneheart" (AFFC): A quite ominous one of "Lady Stoneheart."
October - "A New Face" (ADWD): Arya Stark checking out the different faces in the House of Black and White
November - "The Ghost of Harrenhal" (ACOK): Just a picture of the creepy Harrenhal
December - "Broken Vows" (ASOS)

This is just a simply beautiful calendar and I can't wait for 2013 to hang it up!

4.0 out of 5 stars Mixed feelings on this calendar... July 26, 2012

I per-ordered this based on the cover image alone (gorgeous!) but I sort of regret buying it...the art work is all top notch, but I think they picked some strange scenes. Do I really want Cersei's "walk of shame" on my wall for an entire month? Probably not. The "Lady Stoneheart" scene is beautiful and ominous, but also features a lot of hanging corpses...again, not sure I'd want this on my wall where other people - especially those not familiar with the series - might see it. Similar feelings about Daenerys in the house of the Undying, and the "Broken Vows" lovers (gorgeous, but provocative).
All and all a really beautiful calendar, but I feel like I need to hide it in a back corner of my house where children and the in-laws won't see it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ice and Fire Calender October 16, 2012

The illustrations are beautiful. The calender combines images from the fifth book, Dance with Dragons, with images from the previous four books. Captions are included with each picture to help identify the scene the image was constructed from.
