The World of Ice & Fire: The Untold History of Westeros and the Game of Thrones
George R.R. Martin is doing everything he can to delay the sixth (and penultimate) book in the A Song of Ice & Fire series.

It’s not quite The Winds of Winter, but this prologue may give voracious readers insight into Lyanna’s last words — “Promise me, Ned” — and the true origins of John Snow (amongst copious other secrets). $20+

House Velo Collection
The new Velo collection from House is an attractive upgrade to the old, rusty road bike you’ve got chained outside. You can build your race bike from the ground up, choosing among different colored frames (made of TrueTemper OX Platinum double-butted steel tubing) and brakes. With a checkered motif running through all the components (even the Tanner Goods accessory bag), the line is as aesthetically pleasing as they come. houseind.com
