Reviews of a few classics by Tolkien, interviews with great authors like Rotufuss, Abraham, and Orullian, and more previews from the Greatest TV Series of All Time, Game of Thrones.
Mark your calendars, kiddies. This is the first week any author has owned all 5 top slots since I started tracking the Amazon.com top 5 bestselling fantasy novels on a weekly basis. The first four books in George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series make up 4 of the top 5 slots, with the fifth slot being filled by the collection of all 4 novels. For good measure, A Dance with Dragons, the fifth novel in the series, is currently in both 6th and 7th in hardcover and paperback form. Bravo, Senor Martin, Bravo.

by Charlaine Harris by George R.R. MartinWesteros rules supreme this week as George R.R. Martin takes 4 out of 5 slots in the top 5 fantasy bestseller list on Amazon.com this week, the first time ever since I started tracking in 2009 that a single author has owned 4 books in the top 5. Charlaine Harris came close last year, with 3 out of 5, and ironically she’s the only non-Martin book that made the cut this week.
