You can also sign up for two credits per month. It comes out to $11/credit.

Didn't know that. Not sure why my post gets 2 downvotes for answering a question though

I started my first listen through of the audio books a month or so ago, and something in the first book stuck out to me. Can't remember where it was, but there are references to how arya and Jon have similar features and then of course how arya looks like lyanna. So naturally Jon looks like lyanna.
I also think that plays into why Jon connects with Arya so well too. It's the one reunion I pray that we get in either media.

I doubt its anything other than him announcing some other bullshite that takes away from him writing TWOW.

Probably an announcement of another one of his side projects.
Of course it's also Exhibit #12568 of why people get annoyed with his approach. Post some vague shite on social media with a ASOIAF tie-in then drop something else.

I'm pretty sure Martin publishes his books based on the ficticious seasons that he created in ASOIAF. The time periods of summers and winters are long, drawn out, and unpredictable.

Yeah, I cancelled that with Audible, one of the dumbest deals ever. They charge you every month and only let you carry a max of like 5 credits. So, unless you download new books regularly, it's a waste of money to do the monthly deal. I also found that many of the books that I wanted actually cost less than what I was paying for the monthly credits.

If that's accurate (doubtful) then I'd be pissed for GRRM releasing it so close to Oathbringer

That passage comes from the Book of Revelation, Chapter 18, Verse 10. In shorter notation, that’s Revelation 18:10. Martin also uses the specific language from the King James version of the bible, and the King James in question was, of course, an English monarch.
The Winds of Winter will be published on 18/10, which is British notation for Oct. 18.

Have you guys seen this Joanna Lannister theory?
That's kind of interesting. Though, that would make for a lot of Targs running around the Kingdoms.
I always preferred the idea that maybe the twins weren't for Tywin, but Tyrion, the imperfect son whom he hated, was definitely his and the one most like him.

That's definitely the best part of it for me.
ETA: really brings Jaime and Genna's conversation in AFFC to life in a different way >>> "...but Tyrion is Tywin's son, not you."

This is like Steve Jobs saying he only made Apple for himself and was going to liquidate all the assets of his company once he dies, and frick everyone else. Yeah you can keep your old iPhones and computers, but none are coming down the line.
Sorry, but that's not good enough. I'm an investor, and I demand a finished product. Stop sucking this fat turd off and enabling him. In the least he should say he's hired a ghost writer in the event of his death.
If George RR Martin was anyone else save for Steven King and JKR, his publisher would have thrown him to the curb by now. This is not normal for a writer to write 3 books over 6 years, and then for all the next books all take the same amount of time to write as he did the previous 3. Who the frick does this? It's wrong to the fans. I don't think even George Lucas would do this shite.
He is creating literary works of art. Much work goes into them. Frank wrote Dune I, II, III all as one story and then broke them up. How long did it take him to write those? Alot of research went into those books.
George's first book in this series was what? 20 years ago? Now forget the show, suppose it never came out.
20 years later, which book is still read? The first one or John Grisham's The Firm? Does anyone even remember that masterpiece of formula writing.
In other words, there is a difference between formula writing and actual literature. A shame you can't tell the difference between the two.
