Amazon’s Top 5 Fantasy Books, January 8, 2012

Looks like a few people got Kindles for Christmas. With e-book sales skyrocketing from $62 million in 2008 to $863 million in 2010, its no surprise. While people purchased hardcovers prior to Christmas to give as gifts, Kindle Fire sales will likely push hardcovers out of the top five for a while. Also notable that smaller, bite-size books are rising in popularity along with e-books. A Modern Witch, below, is available for $1.99 for the Kindle. Its going to be a wild ride in 2012.

  1. 11/22/63: A Novel (Kindle) by Stephen King
  2. A Modern Witch (Kindle) by Debora Geary
  3. A Game of Thrones (Kindle) by George R.R. Martin
  4. A Dance with Dragons (Kindle) by George R.R. Martin
  5. A Clash of Kings (Kindle) by George R.R. Martin

Fantasy Blogosphere: November 28, 2011

The Alloy of Law reviews are pouring in, but sadly the biggest news is the passing of Anne McCaffrey. We have lost one of the greats. Her craft will be continued by the current crop of talented fantasy authors, and you can check out interviews with a few current greats like R.A. Salvatore, Patrick Rothfuss, Lev Grossman, Terry Brooks and Daniel Abraham below. Also, Brandon Sanderson talks about writing the Infinity Blade novella. Cool stuff.
