Romantasy Breakout: Sarah J. Maas’s sixth A Court of Thorns and Roses book sold 1.7 million copies on release day, while midnight launches drew fans back to bookstores.

Awards: Waterstones has revealed 20 shortlisted books for its 2026 Book of the Year. Digital Fiction: AO3 could be offline for weeks after a security incident, unsettling fan-fiction readers and writers; coverage also notes serial fiction is having a moment. Publishing Realities: Dungeon Crawler Carl author Matt Dinniman reflects on the realities of bestseller success.
