Lately, my reading time has been spent in Westeros , a world created by George R. R. Martin for his series, A Song of Ice and Fire . My son is a longtime Martin fan, and many library customers are as well: all are anxiously awaiting Book 5 in the set. Meanwhile, HBO is producing a TV series based on...
If you're in the mood for something really different, try this marvelously inventive fantasy novel. British author China Mieville (who has a PhD in International Relations from the London School of Economics) self-describes it as "basically a secondary world fantasy with Victorian era technology...

As a child I loved Miniature, which starred Robert Duvall (just after his appearance in To Kill a Mockingbird ) as a shy young man who falls in love with a doll in a museum dollhouse display. There are many fine scripts and skilled performances in this venerable...
If you liked reading about Bella and Edward in the Twilight series, take a look at Impossible by Nancy Werlin. There are no vampires or werewolves, but there is one threatening fantasy character who lurks throughout. He seems so sympathetic and definitely compelling to most everyone he meets. Lucy Scarborough...
This Science Fiction Channel hit remake of "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" was recently released as a 3-dvd set. Stars include Zooey Deschanel as DG (a Dorothy figure) and Richard Dreyfus as The Wizard. The movie website has a nifty comparison of the Tin Man characters with the classic L. Frank...
