Weekly Bestsellers, 10 November

Recently-released titles by Anne Rice, William Gibson, Patrick Rothfuss, and National Book Award finalist Emily St. John Mandel debut prominently on various print lists. Highest ranking is Rothfuss, #2 on the New York Times fiction hardcover list.

Meanwhile — though these weekly posts have advised over the years that they do not attempt to compile *all* children’s and young adult novels that are in any way science-fictional or fantastic, since many of them are without their authors being associated with the SF/F community in any way, these pages have now begun to include titles to Rick Riordan and James Dashner that have not previously been listed here…
