Eleven books into the Dresden Files series, and Jim Butcher seems to have no plans to make things easy for the put-upon wizard for hire, which is good news for fantasy fans.

Sir Terry Pratchett, author of the bestselling Discworld series, was on hand in Wincanton, Somerset to unveil the street names inspired by his novels. Wincanton's link to Pratchett's fictional universe began in 2002 when the town was officially twinned with Ankh-Morpork, a Discworld city. Residents were asked to vote for their favourite road names from a list of fourteen provided by the author. Pratchett quipped: "Personally, I'd pay good money to live somewhere called Treacle Mine Road."

Every year a boy and a girl are chosen from the twelve districts of Panem (the post-apocalyptic United States) to compete in the Hunger Games. There's nothing fun about them. These games, held for the entertainment of the Capitol, are "Survivor" on overdrive. The person who wins the games wins fame and fortune for the rest of his or her days - but the winner, having hunted down and killed the rest of the contestants, is also the only one who comes out of the games alive.

Katniss is very well aware that she might be picked to compete; after all, she has put extra ballots into the draw for years in order to help feed her family. But she is not prepared at all when her younger sister's name is picked. Katniss knows that she herself would have a slim enough chance for survival, but Prim would have none at all. So she volunteers herself to go in her sister's stead.
