Several great pieces of news in the George R.R Martin’s series A Song of Ice and Fire, with finally news of a hard publication date for book five, A Dance With Dragons, set for July 11 2011.  Since I just started reading the series in 2010,  I have not had to wait the 5+ plus years since book four A Feast For Crows was released in October of 2005, it is still great to have a release date for the newest book.

Next we have the first full trailer for HBO’s Game of Thrones adaptation.  Once again the footage looks great and keeps my interest alive for the upcoming show.  The other nice piece of news we have for Game of Thrones is that HBO is going to air a 15 minute sneak preview of it on April 3rd, at 9:00 p.m. (ET/PT).
