Everything holds strong from last week, giving Breaking Dawn six weeks straight in the top five, two of those spent in the number one slot. This marks the book’s return to the top 5, due to the popularity of New Moon, the new Twilight movie being released about six weeks ago.

We start off with a healthy assortment of reviews, get into a pair of fantastic interviews (check out Rothfuss & Abercrombie – they’re downright hilarious), and top it off with some industry news, recaps of 2009 and outlooks for 2010. I should note that Pat over at Pat’s Fantasy Hotlist seems to be doing everything right this holiday season, hence the need to link to him four times. Great stuff.
Breaking Dawn stays strong and moves into the number one slot this week, knocking Wit’ch Fire into the second spot. The Gathering Storm powers its way into 10 weeks straight in the top five. The Time Traveler’s Wife remains strong, and An Echo in the Bone makes a return to the top 5; its first appearance since early October.
by Stephanie Meyer by James Clemens by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson by Audrey Niffenegger by Diana GabaldonWe’ve got a great mix of reviews this week, from George R.R. Martin’s work on Suicide Kings, to books by David Anthony Durham, Lev Grossman, and another review of The Gathering Storm by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson. Top it all off with the season finale of The Guild. Tis’ the season for MMORPG sitcom finales.
Wit’ch Fire by James Clemens debuts at the number one spot, while Breaking Dawn reaches five weeks in the top five surrounding the release of the new Twilight movie, New Moon. The Gathering Storm enjoys its ninth week straight in the top five, while The Time Traveler’s Wife and Dead and Gone round out the top five.

by Charlaine HarrisWe start this week with a review of Gardens of the Moon by Steven Erickson, which I just picked up to read myself recently. The reviews for The Gathering Storm continue to pile in, and a review from Jim Butcher’s fantasy series makes our cut this week. Throw in an interview with Joe Abercrombie and that’s a healthy full course of holiday fantasy. With arguably the funniest episode of The Guild yet this season, you can keep yourself busy while helping yourself to some turkey day leftovers.
Stephanie Meyer returns to the top spot; fallout from the release of New Moon last weekend. Breaking Dawn pushes A Kiss of Shadows and The Gathering Storm down a slot each. The Best of Robert E. Howard holds strong in the top five, and The Time Traveler’s Wife makes a return to the top five.

by Robert E. Howard by Audrey NiffeneggerA little musical chairs from last week, with A Kiss of Shadows holding strong in the number one slot, The Gathering Storm moving up to number two, and Breaking Dawn moving up to three, to coincide with the release of the new Twilight movie “New Moon” this weekend. The Best of Robert E. Howard and The Demon Awakens stay in the top five, but move down a few spots.

by Laurell K. Hamilton by Robert E. Howard by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson by R.A. Salvatore by Stephanie MeyerA quiet week overall in the fantasy book blogosphere, but I did come across a few video game/film crossovers that got me excited. We’ve got a review of an older Robert Jordan book, and a few more interviews, fallout from last week’s release of The Gathering Storm.
The Prince of Persia movie looks really well done:
and if this isn’t the best pre-release promotion for a video game ever, I’m not sure what is:
