Another Thursday, another advance copy of the New York Times bestseller lists falls into my hands.

There are four genre titles on the hardcover fiction list, and three of them are debuts!

• The Yiddish Policemen's Union by Michael Chabon comes in at #2
• The Children of Hurin by J.R.R. Tolkien is at #3 in its third week
• All Together Dead by Charlaine Harris debuts at #6
• and No Humans Involved by Kelley Armstrong makes its first appearance at #14

On the extended hardcover list, a few more titles show up:

• 1634: The Baltic War by Eric Flint and David Weber, at #19
• and White Night by Jim Butcher (also available in the SFBC omnibus Wizard Under Fire) at #24

The paperback fiction list has three SFF titles, including the top two:

• The Road by Cormac McCarthy, holds on at #1 in its sixth week
• The Husband by Dean Koontz debuts at #2
• and Born in Death by J.D. Robb lands at #11 in its second week.

Meanwhile, on the extented paperback fiction list, you'll find:

• Night Lost by S.L. Viehl (#21)
• Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut (#29)
• and Everything's Eventual by Stephen King (#33).

There's nothing notably new on the various childrens' lists, so I won't run down all of the books of interest there -- though Stephenie Meyer, Holly Black, Christopher Paolini, and others are still making a strong showing.

Congratulations to all of this week's SFF bestsellers....nearly all of which you can find at the SFBC (and get for a dollar each with membership, if you're not yet a member of the club).
