Our new book display, with its Game of Thrones theme, is all the proof you need.

 

Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire), written by George R.R. Martin, is a series of epic fantasy novels set in a fictional medieval world. Martin is known for detailed descriptions and plot twists in the interwoven tales of several families as they angle for power. The series has been adapted for television by HBO and just completed its second season.
