Amazon’s Top 5 Fantasy Books, May 8, 2011

Westeros 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.

  1. A Game of Thrones (Kindle) by George R.R. Martin
  2. Dead Reckoning (Hardcover) by Charlaine Harris
  3. A Clash of Kings (Kindle) by George R.R. Martin
  4. George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire 4-Book Boxed Set (Paperback) by George R.R. Martin
  5. A Storm of Swords (Kindle) by George R.R. Martin
