Weekly Bestsellers, 9 July

Karen Thompson Walker’s literary SF novel The Age of Miracles (Random House) debuts strongly at #6 on the fiction hardcover lists at New York Times and Publishers Weekly.

More traditionally SF Sky Dragons (Del Rey), by Anne McCaffrey and Todd McCaffrey, debuts in 25th place on the same NYT list.

We waited most of the day, but Washington Post still has not posted its bestseller list from this past weekend.
