It's the magazine time of the month, on top of which the late summer upcoming release doldrums have ended. Thus, nine works new to me.

The colour scheme on the Kade has a late 1970s Ace or Del Rey vibe.

Under the heading of sf-like books that aren't officially sf, I would like to recommend 1 Dead in Attic, which is essentially a post-apocalyptic epistolary novel. CW: don't read when you need a mood lift.

Having been keeping up with these lists for a while now, is it just me or are there always an awful lot of "The third book in the New York Times bestselling [optional adjective] [series]" and "The epic conclusion to the [optional adjective] [series]" but hardly any "Part one of the [series]"?
