| Good e-Reader referenced an article earlier about the concept of seasons as it pertains to book releases from the traditional publishing industry.

Fisher, Julia Child, James Beard, and the Reinvention of American Taste by Luke Barr, Johnny Cash: The Life by Robert Hilburn, Parasite by Mira Grant, Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell, and Mister Max: The Book of Lost Things by Cynthia Voigt.
