Debut Fantasy Bestsellers

Melissa Marr's Wicked Lovely continues on the NYT bestseller list at number 3 in children's chapter books. It is also number 23 in Amazon's Teens Fantasy and Science Fiction and occupies the 10th position on Locus's list. Patrick Rothfuss's Name of the Wind is on Amazon's Fantasy and Science Fiction list at number 72 (41 in Fantasy only). Austin Grossman's Soon I Will Be Invincible is at number 95 (53 in Fantasy only).

I haven't mentioned Grossman's debut, Soon I Will Be Invincible, because it is one of those that debuted at about the same time I started this blog. However, I love the title and I love the blurb over at his site, so I may end up featuring it here. I'll put up all the info I can find on it in a separate post, but probably not until Sunday, at the very earliest.

Tia, just wanted to drop by, say thanks for all of the linkage/mentions, and for the great website! I sincerely like what you're doing here. It reminds me somewhat of what I first did when I ran a music webzine, where I focused mainly on unsigned artists and bands releasing their debuts. So, keep up the wonderful work, and I plan on adding your website to my links sometime today.

FYI, "Soon I Will Be Invincible" is a wonderful book and I think you'd love it :)

Thanks for the link and the recommendation about Grossman's book! I may just sign up for that giveaway that you are conducting . . .

It doesn't hurt to sign up, and who knows, you may actually win :)

If you ever need help in identifying debut authors, just let me know. I might have a few you haven't heard of...

I did! I don't receive any ARCs (yet anyway; I've been promised one next year) so my book budget could use all the help it can get!

So far I've been signing up for publisher newsletters and I've found a few debuts through agent websites. But I'd love any tips you have. In fact, I'll be in touch.
