In terms of plotlines that are 1) reasonably intact and 2) played out in the books...
  • The Old Town storyline exists in the books (albeit in a different order of events), so book readers will know some about what happens there.
  • Blinded Arya happens in the books, again in a different point in the timeline.
I'd ask a couple other book readers to chime in since I'm pretty fuzzy on the books after a few years, but as I'd think you'd be safe as long as you're OK with reading speculation about what could possibly happen that is based on more detail (or different details) than were shown on TV, as well as lots of discussion about how the books were different than the show.

The books are somewhat ahead of the show in King's Landing. There are some events post-Cercei's walk that occur. Note, importantly, that in the books Varys is NOT with Tyrion. Instead he is operating from the shadows in King's Landing, having gone missing immediately after Tywin's death.
